00:00 Episode 219 Real Love
00:07 This is the first time I've seen the boss act like a normal person.
00:12 Luis, was this your plan when you invited them here tonight?
00:16 I wonder if he was the man in the LM jewelry commercial.
00:21 Everyone was sifting through their memories as they tried to piece together Emma and Eric's
00:25 relationship.
00:26 They suddenly remembered that she had mentioned she was married to the most powerful man in
00:32 the industry.
00:33 At the time, everyone thought she was joking, but it looks like she was telling the truth.
00:40 However, they couldn't deny her hard work.
00:44 Despite everything she had suffered, she had never once had Eric step out and solve her
00:50 problems for her, proving that she wasn't using him and preferred to solve problems
00:56 herself.
00:58 In the end, none of this mattered, as they had all signed a confidentiality agreement
01:04 and couldn't reveal insider information even if they wanted to.
01:09 Luis could handle any personal issues, but everything else was none of their business.
01:17 Eric took Emma home and put her straight in bed.
01:20 She suddenly opened her glazed eyes, sat up, and hooked her arms around his neck as she
01:26 said, "I haven't been this happy in a long time."
01:31 He understood where she was coming from.
01:34 She had been on her guard for months, and tonight was the first night she'd been able
01:39 to truly relax and not worry about jealousy or calculating artists.
01:45 She was able to let her hair down and have fun.
01:49 "I should have signed you a long time ago," he said.
01:55 She shook her head and buried it in his neck.
01:58 "Everything I've gone through has made me stronger, wiser, and a better person.
02:05 Every test taught me something, no matter how difficult it was.
02:09 Besides, I clearly did something right because I got you."
02:15 He gently touched her cheek and said in a soft voice, "You're flying to Italy tomorrow.
02:23 You should get some rest."
02:24 "Will you hold me a little longer?
02:27 This is the last time I'll see you for a few days."
02:31 He remained silent as he held her.
02:34 A while later, she said in a choked voice, "You're so good to me.
02:40 You've given me a family, a career, and now friends I can trust.
02:45 I was all alone before I met you.
02:49 I'll never love anyone as much as I love you."
02:54 He didn't respond right away.
02:56 She put up such a strong front in public, but she allowed him to see her fears and insecurities.
03:04 She cried tears of joy before kissing him gently and laying back down.
03:09 "Are you ready to sleep now?" he asked her.
03:14 "Uh-huh," she said, yawning.
03:18 He silently watched her, a small smile on his face as she fell asleep.
03:23 "I love her and would give her the world if she asked for it.
03:28 She owns me, one hundred percent.
03:31 She'll never be hurt or alone as long as I'm around," he thought as he kissed her forehead.
03:39 The next morning, Lisa and Emma were at the airport, waiting for their flight when some
03:44 reporters came up to them.
03:46 The media were a lot more polite after the Margot incident thanks to Kaleidoscope's PR
03:53 team.
03:54 After dealing with the reporters, Emma sat in the waiting lounge, holding her head, pain
04:00 written all over her face.
04:02 Lisa handed her some medicine and a glass of water.
04:05 "I don't know why you drank so much and worried Eric, but I'm glad to see you loosening up."
04:12 "What do you mean?"
04:14 Emma asked.
04:15 "You're acting like yourself again, instead of an emotionless robot," Lisa said as she
04:21 sat down beside her and stretched out her legs.
04:24 "You've been cold ever since Nathan betrayed you.
04:28 You put up a wall against everyone but Eric, and have been trying to control everything
04:33 yourself.
04:34 I'm glad to see you're letting go of the reins a bit and having fun."
04:39 Emma had to admit that she liked her newfound confidence and the sense of security she felt
04:45 with Kaleidoscope.
04:46 "Have you gotten in touch with my manager yet?"
04:50 "Louise told me that your manager will meet us at the Excalibur Q interview tomorrow,"
04:55 Lisa replied.
04:56 "It looks like they were already working on something in Italy."
05:00 She leaned on Lisa's shoulder, prepared to take a nap, when a huge commotion suddenly
05:06 broke out behind them.
05:08 Lisa stood up to look and said, "It's Star King's model, Giselle Stone."
05:14 Emma's eyes suddenly flew open as she sat up straight.
05:18 She watched Giselle enter the VIP waiting lounge, and their eyes met briefly before
05:23 she looked away.
05:25 Unlike her, Giselle had bodyguards, an assistant, her manager, and a team of seven or eight
05:33 makeup artists.
05:34 They turned their nose up at her when they noticed she didn't have an entourage.
05:40 Star King had already blacklisted her, so they didn't see her as a threat, despite signing
05:46 with Kaleidoscope.
05:47 "I don't know why you're here.
05:50 I'm guaranteed to win Excalibur's Q endorsement," Giselle said.
05:54 "You're too early to make assumptions," she replied professionally.
06:00 She remembered Caitlyn telling her that Kaleidoscope had never lost to Star King, so she didn't
06:06 plan on letting them win this time either, especially since they had blacklisted her
06:11 for years.
06:14 Giselle's people tried to bully her by taking all the seats around her, but her bodyguards
06:19 immediately appeared at the entrance to the lounge and stood behind her.
06:24 She might keep a low profile, but it didn't mean she was easily intimidated.
06:30 Giselle and her assistant, Alice, looked at her as they took a few steps back and clenched
06:35 their teeth.
06:37 Star King's power had nothing on Kaleidoscopes, but they did specialize in training models.
06:44 Once upon a time, Star King had been her dream, but now she had every intention on beating
06:51 them and proving them wrong.
06:53 Episode 220 Feeling Less Than Luxurious.
07:14 Meanwhile, Eric had set off for his flight to Milan, but as he walked out of Kaleidoscope,
07:26 Luke urgently stopped him.
07:28 "Sir, a problem has arisen with Mr. Tozer's collection.
07:32 He's on the phone."
07:34 He offered the phone to his boss.
07:36 They had invested millions of dollars into this project.
07:41 Eric grimly checked the time on his watch before grabbing the phone.
07:45 Unfortunately, the issue was not one that could merely be solved over the phone.
07:51 With how much Kaleidoscope had invested, problem solving required face-to-face meetings.
07:58 He weighed the importance of his task for a moment before turning around.
08:03 As they walked, he instructed Luke, "Get Luis on a flight to Milan to help Emma secure Excalibur
08:10 Q's endorsement immediately."
08:12 "Sir, that's a top-ten luxury brand.
08:16 Luis's assistance won't be enough."
08:19 Luke fretted as he followed.
08:21 This was only one of the problems Emma would face after joining Kaleidoscope.
08:27 If Eric was to always accompany her, he would have to make many sacrifices.
08:32 However, she was already under his agency.
08:37 No matter whom he handed her over to, he would not feel completely at ease.
08:42 "If they can't secure it, tell him to give me a call."
08:48 After accepting his instructions, Luke immediately went downstairs to relay the message to Luis,
08:54 who cleared his schedule and rushed towards Italy, only an hour behind Emma.
09:01 After an eight-hour flight, Emma finally arrived in Milan just after noon.
09:07 Lisa dragged a huge suitcase as she followed her.
09:10 The warmth of the sunshine shining down put them in good moods.
09:15 Shortly after, when they arrived at the hotel organized by the agency, Lisa called Luke
09:21 to ask about the schedule and get any updates on the manager.
09:26 This caused him to nervously glance at Eric, who was in a meeting with David, as he tightly
09:32 gripped the phone.
09:33 "The schedule's been sent to Emma's email.
09:36 As for her manager, he's on the way," he assured her.
09:40 "I'm currently in a meeting, so I can't talk too much."
09:43 She sat down the phone, feeling baffled.
09:47 How can Emma begin her work if she doesn't know who her manager is yet?
09:52 Emma sat uncomfortably on the edge of the bed.
09:55 Noticing Lisa's furrowed brow, she asked, "What's wrong?"
10:00 "Who's this manager of yours?
10:03 What's with all the mystery?"
10:05 Emma's stomach churned uncomfortably as she leaned on the headboard and began flipping
10:10 through Excalibur Q's information.
10:14 Seeing the pale look on her face, Lisa couldn't help but place her hands on her hips in concern
10:20 and wonder out loud.
10:21 "Can you still work like this?"
10:24 "I'm fine," she reported, as she held on to her burning stomach.
10:29 "From now on, listen to Mr. Roberts.
10:33 If you can't drink, then don't drink," she scolded her.
10:37 "Did he give you any pain meds for the hangover?"
10:40 She nodded weakly.
10:41 "Yeah, I took some as soon as I woke up."
10:45 In a gentle tone, Lisa told her, "Emma, this is your first job since joining Kaleidoscope.
10:53 On top of that, you'll be competing with Star King.
10:57 I don't want to place pressure on you, but I'm sure you know how important this endorsement
11:03 is."
11:04 "I know what I'm doing."
11:07 "In that case, relax for a bit.
11:10 I'll look through your schedule."
11:12 Lisa took out her laptop and allowed the model to get some rest.
11:16 The assistant, however, didn't even get a chance to adjust to the time difference before
11:21 jumping straight into work.
11:23 The interview was scheduled the next day for three in the afternoon.
11:28 She examined the details for the interview before glancing at Emma, who wore a look of
11:33 discomfort even while sleeping.
11:36 It was extremely worrying for her.
11:40 Luke would be heartbroken if he knew.
11:43 Emma was also aware that her current state was not good.
11:47 "I swear I'm never drinking again."
11:52 An hour later, Louise arrived at the hotel and located her room.
11:57 "This must be her manager," Lisa thought.
12:00 "He seems nice."
12:02 Then she frowned.
12:03 "But why wouldn't Luke say anything?"
12:07 Lise was taking over the job halfway through and understood the incredible challenge Emma
12:12 was facing.
12:14 Excalibur Q was an international jewelry brand.
12:18 Becoming the spokesperson would not be an easy task.
12:22 He looked at her limp form on the bed before she suddenly rolled over and started vomiting.
12:29 He and Lise's faces paled in fright.
12:32 They immediately brought her to the hospital in Milan.
12:36 When she saw the doctor, her condition was roughly stabilized.
12:41 She boarded a flight with alcohol poisoning.
12:43 The doctor frowned in disapproval.
12:46 Of course her stomach was upset.
12:49 In that case, when will she be fully recovered?
12:53 Lisa asked the doctor.
12:54 "She needs to rest in bed for two days."
12:58 Bed rest for two days, thought Lisa.
13:01 That means she shouldn't attend tomorrow's interview.
13:05 She faced Lise, unsure of what to do.
13:09 He remained silent for a long time.
13:11 Finally, he pulled out his phone and called Eric.
13:15 Emma was so afraid of worrying him that she had asked Lise not to tell him that she was
13:21 in the hospital.
13:23 He considered it for a moment before he promptly ignored her and told him everything.
13:29 I shouldn't have rushed her to take on an advertisement and endorsement.
13:35 How about we give up the Excalibur Q contract then?
13:38 Lise suggested.
13:40 Opportunities came around often, and Kaleidoscope didn't take an artist's health lightly, especially
13:47 when the artist involved was the most important person in the CEO's heart.
13:53 But contrary to his expectations, Eric laughed and replied, "Emma would never give up so
14:00 easily."
14:01 What are you suggesting, sir?
14:04 Tomorrow, help her with the interview, but make sure her body can handle it.
14:10 If you aren't sure about anything, call me.
14:15 Lise covered the mouthpiece, deciding to test her himself.
14:20 Mr. Roberts wants you to give up on the endorsement.
14:23 Why would I do that?
14:25 She retorted indignantly.
14:28 His lips curved upward.
14:30 Indeed, the person who understood her the most was Eric.
14:35 So he passed her the phone and gestured for her to tell him personally.
14:40 The couple was separated by thousands of miles, making them nervous with longing for one another.
14:47 She held the phone but was too afraid to say anything as she let out a raspy breath.
14:54 Don't push yourself too hard, said Eric.
14:58 As soon as you feel any discomfort, let Lise know.
15:03 "Okay," she replied simply.
15:06 "Not being by your side makes me really worried."
15:10 He was filled with regret, thinking, "Why did I choose work over her?
15:16 If I'd known this would happen, I would have thrown away David's deal in a heartbeat."
15:21 "I'm fine, really," she insisted.
15:25 "You aren't allowed to drink next time."
15:29 "Uh-huh.
15:30 I won't drink anymore," she agreed.
15:34 Lise listened to the couple's conversation.
15:37 He struggled to imagine how the usually stoic CEO could be so tenderly in love.
15:45 Would Emma be so happy if she found out Eric was her manager, he wondered?
15:50 Episode 221 The Under-the-Weather Underdog
16:07 Louise had seen many types of relationships in the entertainment industry.
16:13 He found that, no matter how loving the couple was, most were doomed.
16:19 He feared the same fate for Emma and Eric.
16:22 However, his fear was baseless because he didn't understand the type of woman she was.
16:30 To the outside world, her pride was everything.
16:34 But when it came to love, her perception was different.
16:39 She wouldn't give up on Eric over any petty disagreement, like how her first date in Milan
16:45 had ended in illness.
16:47 As Lise escorted her back to the hotel, they ended up running into Giselle Stone on the
16:53 elevator.
16:55 She was dressed in a white fur coat and a stylish pair of red-tinted glasses.
17:01 After taking a glance at the weak Emma, she smirked at her assistant, Alice.
17:06 Reading her mind, she burst out laughing.
17:09 "Already falling down before the battle's even begun?
17:13 What, are you scared?"
17:16 However, at that moment, Emma didn't have the energy to even look at them.
17:21 She simply leaned on Lise, who didn't childishly argue back like she might have done in the
17:27 past.
17:28 Instead, Lise just eyed them with a condescending smile, much to their irritation.
17:35 Giselle wasn't an extremely beautiful woman, but her features were very distinct, especially
17:42 the black mole at the tip of her cheekbone.
17:45 Atop the runway, she always left an impression.
17:49 Emma didn't doubt her abilities.
17:52 Being able to get into Star King was already proof that she possessed something admirable.
17:58 Consequentially, she also didn't hold her pride against her.
18:04 Lise also held his tongue, familiar with the kind of talent and backing she had.
18:09 If she was the competition, Emma had a real chance of losing.
18:15 Not long after, she stepped out of the elevator, taking her style, attitude, and rude assistant
18:22 with her.
18:24 Lise stared daggers at their back.
18:26 "Just because she's from Star King, she thinks she's all that?" she asked incredulously.
18:32 "It's obvious that she wants to embarrass you for previously being banned by the Agency."
18:39 She has a lot of influence.
18:41 Louise didn't beat around the bush.
18:44 In the last quarter's model rankings, she was number seven.
18:48 Right now, she does have a reason to look down on us.
18:52 Lise wasn't pleased with his answer and remained silent.
18:56 At that moment, she found herself thinking, "He's not nearly as likable as Luke."
19:03 Emma also tried to comfort her.
19:05 "He's right.
19:07 There are many great models at Star King, and every single one of them is talented.
19:13 There's nothing to be upset about."
19:15 "However, I also have high hopes for you," said Louise, smiling.
19:21 "You're not less than them in any way.
19:24 All you need is an opportunity."
19:26 "I never felt there was anything wrong with me," she held up her chin confidently.
19:32 "You're indeed the King's wife," he mumbled.
19:37 But her words did inspire some confidence in him.
19:40 "We won't find out if tomorrow's interview is a success or failure until we try."
19:47 As soon as Emma returned to her room, she laid down to rest.
19:51 Her generally peaceful mindset permitted her to fall asleep quickly, helping her body recover
19:57 more quickly as well.
20:00 The next afternoon, Excalibur Q officially held their interviews.
20:05 Because they were competing in the same category, Emma had to appear on stage with Giselle.
20:11 "This is my shot, but they can only pick one of us," she thought, worried.
20:18 The choice between Giselle with her distinguishing features or Emma with her domineering runway
20:24 presence was a headache for whoever at Excalibur Q was in charge of the interviews.
20:31 From a comprehensive point of view, Emma won in professionalism, but they find Giselle
20:37 to be stronger in many other aspects.
20:41 Ultimately, the preferred choice was Giselle, with Emma as the substitute.
20:47 As soon as they made the decision, Excalibur Q's people gave Alice a heads up.
20:52 She immediately gave Emma a smug look when she found out.
20:57 Seeing that things weren't unfolding favorably for them, Louise promptly alerted Eric, who
21:03 was still in New York.
21:05 "Mr. Roberts, the endorsement might have been snatched away."
21:10 Upon hearing this, Eric's heart ached at the thought of Emma fighting for the endorsement
21:16 despite feeling unwell.
21:19 Trying to suppress his worry, he told Louise, "I will speak to them."
21:25 Louise didn't doubt his capabilities, but was curious on how they could be convinced.
21:31 "Will I actually be able to see him in action?" he wondered.
21:35 "Doing this back and forth over the phone is exhausting."
21:40 He hung up the phone and returned to her side.
21:43 A little while later, Excalibur Q announced that they would be revealing the results over
21:48 the phone.
21:50 The officials had not yet come to an agreement.
21:53 Alice's expression twisted with confusion and suspicion at the sudden change from what
21:59 she had been told moments ago.
22:01 "They told me it was pretty much final, so what are they still disagreeing about?" she
22:07 wondered.
22:08 "What did Emma do to Excalibur Q?"
22:11 However, it was a simple phone call from Eric that was the source of the change.
22:17 "Mr. Stetson, how are you?
22:20 I'm Emma's manager from Kaleidoscope Entertainment.
22:24 You can call me Mr. Roberts."
22:27 His voice had been smooth and charming.
22:30 "Regarding Excalibur Q's spokesperson, have you already decided on Giselle from Star King?"
22:38 "Excuse me?"
22:40 The straightforward question had surprised Mr. Stetson.
22:44 "If you want a top-notch model, Kaleidoscope has plenty.
22:49 But do you know why we decided to send out Emma?"
22:54 Mr. Stetson was intrigued by his confidence and waited for him to continue.
22:59 "Giselle is undeniably a great model, but I have a feeling that if you took the time
23:06 to sit and compare their works, you would reconsider who's best suited to be your spokesperson."
23:13 The brief one-sided conversation was effective, and Mr. Stetson eagerly took the bait.
23:21 As soon as the call ended, he instructed his staff to delay the announcement of the results.
23:28 Once he had the opportunity to compare the works of both models, he saw the appeal of
23:33 selecting Emma.
23:36 Giselle's modeling career had followed the standard path, going from competitions to
23:41 recognition via her work with Star King.
23:44 Although she wasn't low in status by any means, she also did not stand out from the crowd.
23:51 "This kind of model is duplicated all over the place," he thought with disappointment.
23:57 "Emma, on the other hand, she has a story."
24:02 Excalibur Q was a boutique brand with hundreds of years of history.
24:06 Over the years, they had experienced their difficulties and developed their own character.
24:12 Moreover, every time they fell, they stood up stronger than ever, just like Emma.
24:20 Her multiple comebacks made her favorable.
24:23 The Asian trend, TQ, LM, they've all had amazing results working with her.
24:30 These are the kinds of qualities our spokesperson should have.
24:34 So Giselle's background, or lack thereof, made him hesitate in his choice.
