Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel
Emma had no idea about the situation in New York. Under Eric’s arrangements, she finally met with the American sci-fi director, a.k.a. The Father Of Sci-fi.
After understanding Emma’s intentions, the old man in his sixties felt that her idea was a joke.
“If you want to produce a film that’s up to standard, it’s not an easy task to achieve. Especially when your country is lacking in so much.”
“That’s not the problem…” Emma replied swiftly.
“In that case, what do you think is the biggest problem?” Director Jones asked.
“You’re afraid that I’ll surpass you if you help me!”
After Jones heard this, he began to laugh, “You are an interesting young lady. But, I need to clarify that I’m not discriminative towards the culture. I’m actually nearing retirement and want to spend more time with my family, so I’m sorry, but I won’t be of much help, Mrs. Roberts.”
Actually, Emma could tell that Jones wasn’t narrow-minded and nasty like the British professor. She could see in his gaze that he didn’t look down on anyone. After all, to be classified as one of the greats in his industry, it was expected that he’d be open minded and easy to get along with.
Emma actually predicted the result. Asking to learn from a master of their field had never been an easy thing to achieve.
Especially since she showed up out of the blue.
In the end, the trio simply shared a meal before Jones’ alarm went off and he quickly left.
“Don’t be discouraged. You can always keep trying. Don’t forget that it took you a lot of effort to convince Qiao Sen out of hiding.”
Emma turned around and nodded at Eric, “I’m not someone that easily gives up. Let’s go, we will try again next time.”
After speaking, the couple paid the bill and left the hotel.
“Since we’re not far from the manor, let’s walk home,” Eric suggested.
“It’s lucky that Auntie Yun came with us. I don’t need to worry about Yan Er. Let’s go,” Emma nodded. The couple walked hand-in-hand down the street. However, at this time, a middle-aged woman suddenly ran into them.
Emma and Eric immediately turned around to find the woman lying on the floor. Emma immediately knelt down. Just as she was about to help the woman up, Eric stopped her, “Don’t touch her yet. Let’s call the ambulance first.”
Emma nodded. Although it was annoying, Emma patiently searched for help and quickly sent the woman to hospital.
Later on, the woman came to her senses in the ambulance. But, the first thing she asked for was her husband.
The medical staff told her that Emma and Eric saved her, but she immediately demanded for them to call her husband.
After arriving at the hospital and knowing that the patient was in safe hands, Emma and Eric decided to go home.
“Don’t go, I haven’t thanked you yet. My husband is a big director, he can give you a reward.”
As soon as she heard the word ‘director’, a possibility popped into Emma’s head. However, she did not dwell on the thought for too long as she continued to walk away.
“Let’s go home.”
“You don’t want to take advantage of this opportunity?” Eric asked as they left.
“Like you said, it’s taking advantage of someone,” Emma replied casually, “I don’t like forcing people.”
“I don’t know what to do about you,” Eric patted Emma on the head and led her away.
…
Soon, Jones received a call and immediately rushed to the hospital. However, he did not see Eric nor Emma.
“Lucky nothing happened to you.”
“A couple saved me,” the old woman told Jones. “I told them to stay behind and get a reward from you, but they just left. What a shame.”
After hearing his wife’s explanation, Jones guessed who the couple were, “Why would it be them?”
“Do you know them?”
“Yes, they were the ones that I met tonight. Since they saved you, they must know your identity. I’m sure they’ll eventually come to look for me.”
He didn’t believe that Emma would let go of such a great opportunity.
Emma was his wife’s savior. This wasn’t originally a big deal. But, Jones misunderstood her because they had just met not long ago.
“If you see them, treat them well.”
“OK, I will.”
Jones nodded his head in agreement.
However, he waited a good few days and still didn’t see Emma nor Eric. Could it be that they hadn’t decided on an amount to ask from him?
In reality, to avoid these kind of suspicions, Emma had already decided to look for another director. She knew that if she turned to Jones at a time like this, it would make him very uncomfortable.
“Think it over. Other directors won’t be as nice as Jones.”
“What else can I do?” Emma asked helplessly. “No matter how difficult it is, I need to give it a try.”
As a result, Eric took Emma to see other famous directors and experts in the field of sci-fi. However, Jones quickly heard about this.
“This young woman is sure stubborn…”
Jones then called his assistant and told him to contact Emma.
Emma never expected Jones to contact her.
As they spoke on the phone, Jones said helplessly, “I think I should apologize for misunderstanding the two of you. I also think I should repay you for saving my wife. So, I’m willing to teach you.”
“Director Jones, I’m happy to receive your phone call, but saving your wife was just a coincidence, I didn’t…”
“I know the two of you aren’t like ‘that’. So, I would like to be your ‘shifu’ (teacher/mentor), isn’t that what you call it?”
“You’re saying…”
“I’m saying that you should come see me tomorrow. I’m about to direct my last film, ‘The Resurrected Specimen’. I would like to teach you, you are very lucky. I think this may be fate. But, you need to prepare yourself. It is going to be tough. I will not go easy on you just because you are a woman.”
“Don’t worry, I can handle tough conditions,” Emma replied.
“It’s up to me to determine whether you can handle it or not. You people use the term ‘Final Student’. At my age, I was popular once, I hope you don’t disappoint my expectations.”
After he was done talking, Director Jones hung up the phone.
Afterwards, Emma smiled and looked at Eric, “It’s a success.”
Eric nodded his head and placed a k**s on Emma’s forehead, “You need to work harder from now on.”
“I know.”
As a result, no one heard from Emma after she went to the US, but they didn’t expect that she had become the student of a world-class director…
Because no one heard anything about Emma, there were various versions of rumors. The most popular version was that Emma had nowhere to turn to; that she was kicked out of New York and rejected by England and that she was like an unwanted sewer rat.
No one expected that she was standing at the forefront of the industry because she wanted to produce a high quality sci-fi film. In fact, while she was Jones’ student, she didn’t care about her image at all. To prevent herself from being recognized, she wore a hat and glasses and was willing to do anything…
Meanwhile, Eric continued to travel bet**en the two places. However, Lisa and the others still had no updates regarding Emma. Luke tried asking Eric indirectly, but he replied, “Why are you asking so much?”
“It’s because the rumors are too bad…” Luke explained. But, in reality, it was because Lisa wanted to know. However, Eric completely saw through his intention.
“Look after yourself! When you have time, go visit Superstar Media more often…”
Eric thought the hint in his words were clear…
If Luke didn’t get it, then he didn’t deserve to be his assistant.
