“Emma? Oh! Sorry, but we don’t dare to use you, we’ve already replaced you.”
“Emma, I don’t think your image suits us. Sorry, but we will have to replace you.”
“Since you’re not afraid of climbing into other’s beds, why would you be afraid of losing an advertisement?”
These few clients were considered polite, there were a few that cursed straightforwardly.
Lisa put down her phone and looked helplessly at Emma. Emma gently pat her on the shoulder, “It’s OK, just don’t let Eric know about this.”
“Do you think Big Boss doesn’t already know?” Lisa sighed. She understood this industry was all about fame and fortune and the reality was too frightening. “I’ll continue to call, as long as there is still hope,” after speaking, Lisa phoned the next number. Surprisingly, they agreed to meet Emma in person to discuss.
However, when Emma turned up, they asked for her to be a nude model.
“You are being too offensive…”
“You’ve already done worse…what’s the point of keeping your dignity,” the man looked at Emma sleazily. Between his thin eyelids was a look of disregard and mockery.
Emma did not speak. She simply took one look at the man’s name card and imprinted the name in her mind. The man felt slightly threatened by Emma’s icy cold gaze as beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
“Lisa, help me find out if, amongst the media, there is a reporter that is familiar with Mark Whitaker,” Emma suddenly instructed Lisa on the way home. She thought for a bit and continued, “Look at the agreement between Nathan and Mark Whitaker, the first condition is to release Amber. This must mean Nathan already knew about their relationship…”
“But, the most important point is, when did he find out?”
“Nathan’s birthday,” Emma carefully searched through her memory and remembered the phone call she had received from Nathan. That day was the first time he had asked her to return to his side, “Lisa, go find Nathan’s secretary, she will probably know something about what happened that day…”
“Also, keep looking into Mark Whitaker.”
“During the awards ceremony, I already told Amber we were even. I originally planned to let her go, but…who would have thought she’d go and ruin herself. If that’s what she wants, then we’ll give it to her then.”
“We might as well send Nathan and Mark Whitaker off to keep her company…”
“Emma…” Lisa was a little surprised.
“Sorry, my mind has been elsewhere lately, I almost forgot this was an industry where you have to depend on yourself. The mockery from the man just then was like a wake-up call – I’m now fully awake. I know now that if I don’t work hard, I may have to start all over again, or even worse.”
“I can’t believe, in people’s eyes, I have now stooped as low as a nude model…”
Lisa looked at Emma, her eyes were wise and calm; it seemed she was no longer lost and had regained her confidence. When someone gets knocked down, don’t they just get back up again? The worst case scenario was to start again…
Online, people were still putting forward their arguments regarding the incident; for example, some people argued the date and time the agreement was signed was not long before the awards ceremony, so there was no way Mark Whitaker had time to convince the judges to give Emma an award. However, others responded by saying, just because the agreement was signed at that time, didn’t mean Emma hadn’t already gotten in touch with Mark Whitaker prior to that. The most direct evidence was when they sat next to each other at the Bright Night Gala and even walked the red carpet together…
Emma had a look at the discussions, but they didn’t matter to her as much as what had just happened.
She knew she would be able to make these angered people feel embarrassed by the words they were spewing today.
After returning to Hyatt Regency, Luke was waiting for Emma at the front door, “Madam, President has asked me to escort you.”
“Are we going to Kaleidoscope?”
“No, he wants to have lunch together.”
…
A little while later, Nathan arrived at a restaurant curiously to find Emma sitting all alone inside. Nathan looked at himself and realized how out of place he was; he couldn’t help feeling self-conscious. He realized Emma looked comfortable and relaxed in this type of setting.
The woman that once stood by his side, was now elegant and dignified; she was once someone he disregarded, but now she was like a shining pearl that he couldn’t even get close to.
“You’re here…” Emma took a simple glance at him.
“Of course, I had to come see who your new husband is. I really didn’t expect you’d do something so stupid under impulse.”
Emma lifted her head and looked at Nathan’s serious expression; she couldn’t help but let out a laugh, “Nathan, you really overestimate yourself.”
“Don’t tell me your husband is really so tolerant that he can endure all the widespread scandals that are currently going around about you? Even I couldn’t help but suspect that you slept with Mark Whitaker. I really doubt he had no reaction at all!”
“You’re not worthy of being compared to him,” Emma responded in a cold tone. “Nathan, do you know what I’ve been thinking every day since marrying him? I’ve been thinking about all the years we spent together and how although it has already happened and is set in stone, I still regret it deeply.”
“Even if you regret it, you can’t get rid of it…”
Emma’s lips twitched; she was about to respond, but…at the entrance to the restaurant, a silhouette had just appeared…
Nathan recognized the figure straight away, the CEO of Kaleidoscope Entertainment. Who would have thought he’d run into Eric here.
He was well aware of his difference in status compared to this man; Eric could crumble him to pieces without lifting a finger. At that moment, he remembered how Mia had previously offended Kaleidoscope, so he lowered his head and avoided eye contact; even he didn’t understand why he felt this way…
Looking at him, Emma could tell – what he was currently feeling was inferiority.
Nathan pretended to be looking at Emma to cover up his awkwardness, while Emma sneered inside. She then greeted Eric with a gentle smile, “I’ve already ordered your favorite: steak.”
Eric made his way in front of the two people while Nathan stared at him in shock. He gently leaned over and placed a kiss on Emma’s forehead before sitting down beside her, “Have you waited long?”
“I also just arrived.”
“From now on, I will try my best to be earlier than you.” Eric stroked Emma’s hair apologetically. Meanwhile, Nathan sat still wishing he could dig a hole for himself to hide…
Compared to this man, he was like a poor and disgusting beggar!
In fact, describing himself as a beggar wasn’t even low enough when being compared to Eric…
No, he couldn’t accept it…
