A moment later, Luke entered the office with some documents. Apart from documents that need Eric’s signature, Luke also handed him an invitation, “President, you have been invited to the awards ceremony for the GXE International Screenwriter’s Competition. Song Xin has won a big award. Although she is newly signed to Kaleidoscope, the organizers sent the invite directly to you. Do you…”
Eric gestured for Luke to divert the invite to Fletcher without lifting his head, “Shouldn’t you know who to turn to about things like this?”
“Sorry, President.”
“Don’t forget my identity…”
Eric was referring to his identity as Emma’s personal manager. Plus, he was well aware that female artists in the agency often tried to find excuses to leave an imp**ssion in front of him.
“Vice President Fang seems to be trying to avoid suspicion too, so he told me to speak to you.”
From the looks of it, both men managed their female interaction well for the peace of mind of their women.
Emma couldn’t help but laugh.
“If he won’t go, then throw the invitation in the bin,” Eric instructed.
As a member of the unofficial wife-doting club, Luke did not want to attract this kind of trouble either, so, he directly threw the invitation in the bin.
“This is the first time I’ve witnessed you handling matters like this.”
“In that case, do you trust me?” It was also the first time that Eric consulted Emma on an issue like this.
Emma looked into Eric’s eyes. They had been married for a long time, but Emma had never been jealous of another woman because Eric had never done anything that made her feel uncomfortable.
The scene that just happened in front of her was the perfect example!
Emma did not reply, but Eric already knew the answer.
Meanwhile, Emma was aware that Eric deliberately waited until it was almost boarding time before he left Kaleidoscope – just so he could spend more time with her.
“Who is this Song Xin?” Emma asked Luke after Eric left.
Luke led Emma to the underground parking lot as he replied, “A newly-signed artist.”
“The so-called ‘secret weapon’?”
Luke turned his head in surprise, “The madam has some well-informed sources. This new artist is indeed talented. She has also recently won an International Screenwriter Award…”
As they spoke, they arrived in the underground parking lot. However, just as Emma stepped into her car, she heard a confident voice echo from behind her, “It is an honor to be mentioned by the famous Emma.”
Emma turned around to see a long curly-haired woman dressed in a black jacket, standing behind them with a wild vibe.
She was, after all, an artist of Kaleidoscope’s, so she possessed her own unique charm.
Emma did not respond. To be exact, she never liked it when people self-invited themselves into a conversation.
Of course, the woman looked at Emma with extreme interest. After quite some time, she finally said, “But, I must say, you’ve gotten old. After you give birth, will you only be capable of securing baby formula commercials?”
“Song Xin!”
“I heard from a few friends in the baby formula industry that you are their number one choice for upcoming commercials. You should feel happy about this. You are about to receive an expensive endorsement opportunity,” Song Xin completely ignored Luke’s warning. As she r*bbed her chin, she continued, “As for acting, I think you are almost at the stage of playing mother roles. What should we do? I can already imagine the image of you with curls in your hair as you discipline your children.”
“I know that Emma is famous for having a good temper. So, I’m sure you won’t do anything to me for speaking the truth, will you?”
“Do we have a grudge bet**en us?” Emma couldn’t understand why this girl was suddenly provoking her.
“No! We’ve never met before,” Song Xin shrugged her shoulders, “However, I’m used to be being number one. So, I would never accept second place. Take this as a warning.”
“Song Xin, our Madam has already been in the industry for ten years…and you are just a newcomer.”
“She’s been in the industry for ten years and she’s only won one newcomer award?” Song Xin let out a laugh as she waved her hands at the two, “Hurry and go home. Seeing you walking around at almost 8 months pregnant makes me feel bad on your behalf. Although you are Mr. Roborts’s lover and taking away the best resources is your right, I will use my abilities to surpass you.”
Luke looked at Emma anxiously, afraid that she would get angry. But, Emma’s calm exp**ssion displayed to Luke that even if she was angry, she would not show it on her face.
“Remember what you have said today…”
“I will remember it clearly.”
Emma looked deeply at Song Xin and examined her from head to toe. Her appearance wasn’t bad, but, people like her did not call the shots in the entertainment industry just because they were aggressive.
In reality, Song Xin’s heart was actually racing. Although she sounded confident, she was, after all, facing Emma. Emma had experienced many battles in the past, so a few simple words weren’t going to scare her.
Afterwards, Emma boarded her car and Luke hopped into the driver’s seat. They then drove away, leaving Song Xin on her own smoking a cigarette, “What an interesting woman. Too bad she’s about to give birth.”
…
“Madam, just ignore Song Xin. She may be talented, but she’s much too arrogant.”
“The future belongs to the youngsters. She’s right, I’m not young anymore,” Emma sighed.
“But…you’re only 27.”
27 was already an age where one wouldn’t gamble and play around recklessly. Especially since she was married to Eric and was about to give birth to a child. From now on, battles within the entertainment industry would subconsciously become a weapon for protecting her family. She no longer enjoyed the glory and glamor that came with it.
“Have baby formula companies actually come looking for me?” Emma was slightly offended by Song Xin’s words. Being called old: this was a weakness buried in the depths of every woman’s heart. No matter how hard they tried to hide it, it hurt with one small poke. After all, it was impossible to turn back time.
“No…” Luke replied firmly.
Emma let out a gentle laugh; Luke had never been good at lying.
It didn’t take long before the two returned to Hyatt Regency. As it was already late, Auntie Bai had already prepared a healthy meal and was waiting for Emma to return home.
“Emma, you forgot your phone at home. You had a few missed calls in the afternoon,” Auntie Bai said as she pointed to the bedroom upstairs.
Emma fetched her phone and sat down at the dining table. Seeing that the missed calls were from Jordyn, she immediately called her back. It had been a long time since they last talked.
“Emma…”
As soon as she heard Jordyn’s voice, Emma’s exp**ssion immediately turned serious. She could sense that Jordyn was upset, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just a bit tired from attending a dinner party. I originally wanted to visit you, but you weren’t home,” Jordyn lightened up her voice and replied.
“Did you get into an argument with Fletcher?” Emma asked.
“You must have heard, Kaleidoscope recently signed on a ‘secret weapon’ called Song Xin, right?” Jordyn suddenly mentioned. “She’s a fierce character.”
“What happened?”
“Fletcher was previously in charge of her matters, but he is, after all, a married man. So, for my sake, he decided to spread out the workload with others. However, I’m not sure if I am being paranoid, but I feel like Song Xin is a vengeful person and I’ve fallen into her trap,” Jordyn said cautiously with a worried tone.
This made Emma’s heart drop. Within the industry, Jordyn had already experienced a lot. If even she felt something wasn’t right, then something was definitely off.
“Can you explain it to me in more detail?”
“Previously, when I met with a client in the hotel to discuss a job, my assistant suddenly disappeared from the room for a few minutes. I didn’t think too much of it at that time. But, during my lunch with Fletcher this afternoon, Fletcher suddenly received an image of the man and I all alone in a hotel room together.”
“I asked Fletcher about it and he explained that he had received an anonymous email.”
“I’m sure Fletcher knows the truth, so you don’t need to worry about it,” Emma comforted. “Plus, you can’t suspect Song Xin based on an incident like this.”
“The only reason I’m suspecting Song Xin is because she warned me to be careful.”
“Be more cautious next time,” Emma began to sound a bit wary.
