00:00Number 241, Fan Club.
00:04Most of the public loved to spread rumors about Emma and Eric's relationship.
00:09But no one dared to make a big fuss out of it,
00:12because Kaleidoscope's PR made it hard to determine how reliable the information was.
00:20Exhausted and medicated from her late-night trip to the emergency room,
00:25Emma ended up sleeping straight through the night.
00:28By the time she woke up the next day, her throat was dry and she couldn't speak.
00:34She could only make simple gestures with her hands to express herself.
00:39Eric sat by her bedside with his arms around her as he examined her wounds.
00:45She had abrasions and soft tissue injuries that would take at least a couple weeks to fully heal.
00:53Emma lay against Eric's body as she tried desperately to absorb his essence,
00:59like a nutrient she couldn't live without.
01:02Eric gently lowered her head onto his thigh and brushed her hair out of her face.
01:08Softly, he said,
01:10Get better soon.
01:13Did you stay up all night again?
01:16Emma couldn't sit up, so she remained lying down as she questioned Eric.
01:21Her eyelashes gently fluttered as she spoke.
01:25I'm not a robot. Of course I had some rest.
01:29He brushed his hand across her cheek.
01:32There's a new contest that I've already signed you up for.
01:36What type of contest is it?
01:39Eric's eyes followed the curves of her body and stopped at her legs.
01:44I'm not sure if you'll be able to compete yet. Let's not talk about it for now.
01:51Has Giselle decided to confess yet? She asked.
01:56It appears she won't until the last minute.
02:00Eric was familiar with the psychology of people like Giselle.
02:04She wasn't going to easily admit defeat,
02:08so there was no way she would be willing to accept her fate until the very last minute.
02:15You deliberately put her through this torment, didn't you?
02:20Emma giggled as she grabbed Eric's hand and intertwined her fingers with his.
02:26Seeing she was in a relaxed mood, Eric showed her several posts from the internet.
02:32As she flipped through the public speculations,
02:35she suddenly felt a little nervous and confused.
02:39Have they figured out everything?
02:42Can you believe, even with me announcing I'm your manager,
02:46that they still haven't figured it out?
02:49He chuckled.
02:50As long as we don't respond, they'll never have an answer.
02:55Right now, these people are using whatever methods they can to figure us out,
03:02but we'll just keep them guessing.
03:05Eric did not admit nor deny.
03:08He simply did what he had to as a manager and protected the person he wanted to protect.
03:15As for Emma, her mission was to focus on being a good model and keep working toward her dream.
03:23They will eventually find out, she muttered.
03:27Are you afraid? He asked.
03:30She shook her head.
03:31She was a lot more relaxed than when she first saw the public speculations.
03:37No, I like the way things are headed.
03:40By handling things this way, we're subtly letting the reporters know we're in charge.
03:46Whether we want to announce our relationship is our decision.
03:51Since Eric announced he was her manager,
03:54the public's reactions to their relationship came from several different groups,
04:00including those who wanted to dig up secrets,
04:03those upset by the pairing,
04:05those that went around slandering them,
04:08and, of course, fans that were gushing over the possibility of a romantic relationship.
04:16I love it.
04:18Emma's like a fierce little kitten being protected by a tiger.
04:22They're so cute.
04:23I don't care whether they admit to it or not.
04:26I love them as a couple.
04:29Wow, Emma's long legs and Eric's tall frame are the perfect match.
04:34I didn't think much of the LM commercial before,
04:38but now that I look at it again, it's filled with their chemistry and love.
04:44An almighty CEO actually lowered his standards to become a models manager.
04:50If this isn't love, I don't know what is.
04:54One of the fans even posted a photo of Eric stepping out to help Emma after the awards
05:00ceremony and turned it into a comic strip.
05:03The fans loved it and couldn't get enough.
05:07I'm really excited about them announcing their relationship,
05:10but part of me wants them to keep it a secret.
05:13I'm so back and forth about it.
05:16Eric, do you like Emma?
05:19Someone with a cold and calm personality like Emma needs to be loved by a possessive CEO.
05:26They're perfect for each other.
05:28Emma did not expect that their relationship would actually have fans.
05:34Upon seeing these comments, she couldn't help but smile.
05:38That night, Luke arrived at Tribeca with a box of letters and gifts.
05:43These are from your fans, he said.
05:46Some are for you and some are for Eric.
05:49We received all this in less than a day.
05:53They're to celebrate you having the world's most
05:55invincible manager and strongest bodyguard backing you.
05:59Emma smiled, revealing the dimples on her cheeks.
06:03However, I can't believe these people actually
06:06had the courage to write letters to THE Eric Roberts.
06:11I would say, thanks to you, he no longer seems so intimidating and unapproachable.
06:18Emma took the box from Luke.
06:20She was quite moved.
06:22Does this mean that I'm his equal?
06:25She wondered.
06:26Do people really think that I'm worthy of standing at his side?
06:30Of course, in her heart, Emma understood that she had gotten where she was,
06:36thanks to Eric's protection.
06:38What's written in the letters to Eric?
06:41Emma curiously opened one of his letters and couldn't help but let out a laugh.
06:46She read one aloud.
06:49Mr. Roberts, I'm too afraid to talk to you directly,
06:53but I want to tell you, you are extremely handsome.
06:57Emma, whenever you're bored, you can pass time by looking through these letters.
07:03Luke placed the box on the floor beside her so it would remain within her reach.
07:08She pulled a yellow envelope from the box.
07:11However, it did not contain a letter.
07:14It contained a photo, a photo of her kissing a man.
07:20Emma naturally knew who she was kissing in the photo.
07:24But when the reporter had taken the photo, it was night time and he was far away,
07:31so he only managed to capture her back.
07:34Emma smirked as she saw the note attached to the photo.
07:38Emma, your indecent nature will be uncovered by us.
07:43Don't get too comfortable.
07:45Emma placed the photo on her bedside and waited for Eric to finish work
07:50so they could look at it together.
07:52That evening, Emma flipped through the news and realized Kaleidoscope had already pressured
07:57the organizers of the awards ceremony for an explanation twice.
08:03This was more like a disguised warning to Giselle.
08:06She didn't have much time left to confess.
08:10At that time, Giselle wasn't the only one on thin ice.
08:15Her manager, Cheyenne, was also pacing back and forth anxiously
08:21because she, too, was involved.
08:25Did you know Kaleidoscope has already released their second warning?
08:29Giselle asked as she tugged at the pillow in her hands.
08:33Did you make sure to cover your tracks and clean up after yourself?
08:38I'm not sure, said Cheyenne.
08:40She was panicked, her face covered in sweat.
08:44Even if I think I'm certain, I'm definitely not going to underestimate Kaleidoscope.
08:50After all, I'm sure you've heard about Eric Roberts' methods.
08:55Star King still refuses to represent me?
08:58Giselle was slowly overtaken by an expression of defeat.
09:03Cheyenne responded.
09:05Although Star King has been secretly competing with Kaleidoscope over the years,
09:10they've never had the guts to be open about it.
09:13And this time, Eric obviously wants you to pay for what you've done.
09:18No matter how much you try and run away, you won't be able to avoid it.
09:22Giselle, you need to go confess.
09:25Emma's injuries weren't mild.
09:28There's no way Eric's going to stop looking into this.
09:32After hearing her manager's words, Giselle refused to accept her fate.
09:37She was angry and felt wronged.
09:40As she took out her anger on the pillow,
09:43she began to mirror the expression on her face, bent out of shape.
09:48She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
09:50She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
09:53She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
09:55She was so angry that she couldn't speak.
09:58Giselle, what's the point?
10:18A bitter smile appeared on her face.
10:21Kaleidoscope had already pushed her to this point,
10:24and no one left from her own agency cared about her survival.
10:29So what other choice did she have left?
10:32Contact the media.
10:34I'm going to announce that I'm leaving the modeling industry.
10:38No, Giselle, you can't, cried Cheyenne.
10:41It wasn't easy for you to get where you are today.
10:45Then tell me, what else am I supposed to do?
10:49Giselle did not see another way that she could beat Emma.
10:53Cheyenne just shook her head, stood up straight, and let out a sigh.
10:58However, as she turned around, Cheyenne sneered.
11:02With Giselle taking on full responsibility,
11:06Kaleidoscope would no longer go after her.
11:09It didn't matter if Giselle became the scapegoat.
11:12Without her, Cheyenne would be free to train up another model and continue her career.
11:19Since Star King had already given up on Giselle,
11:23there was no reason Cheyenne needed to waste any more of her energy.
11:28Soon, Cheyenne was able to sneakily retrieve Emma's phone number from a client
11:33and gave it to Giselle.
11:36She held on to Emma's phone number and watched as the pendulum on the
11:40grandfather clock in her living room swung back and forth.
11:44She didn't have much time left.
11:47She took a deep breath and called Emma.
11:50Once she heard someone pick up the phone, she began her tirade.
11:55Emma, I admit I instigated the entire incident that happened on stage,
12:00and I don't regret any of it.
12:02How could a third-rate model like you,
12:05who hasn't even won a single international award, snatch away my endorsement?
12:11I hate you, you and your pretend goody-two-shoes image.
12:16I may have lost today and my modeling career is over,
12:20but I want you to know that I hope you fail.
12:23I hope that Kaleidoscope drops you.
12:26I hope you lose everything.
12:29I hope that you get hit by a car as soon as you step out the front door.
12:34Giselle spoke in a flurry as she released her anger.
12:38However, after a moment of silence,
12:41a deep voice responded from the other end of the line.
12:46This is Eric.
12:49Giselle froze, thinking,
12:51I just said all those horrible things to Eric?
12:56She'd never expected Eric would pick up Emma's phone.
13:00As she thought about it, a chill swept through her entire body.
13:05She was suddenly terrified.
13:08Oh, Eric, I was... I was just playing.
13:13I didn't mean...
13:14Really? You didn't say that on purpose?
13:18Eric's voice was deep and dangerous.
13:21He then picked up his own phone
13:23and played a recording of everything Giselle just said.
13:28Although it wasn't complete,
13:30the part where she wished harm on Emma could be heard loud and clear.
13:35Giselle knew she had no right to hold onto her pride anymore
13:39unless she wanted to be completely destroyed.
13:43So she started crying to Eric.
13:46Mr. Roberts, I beg of you, please forgive me.
13:52I don't mind giving people second chances.
13:56But to say what you just said and still beg me to forgive you?
14:02You don't deserve it.
14:04After saying this, Eric's tone intensified.
14:08My patience with you is wearing thin.
14:11Let me remind you, it's 9 p.m.
14:15Your time is nearly up.
14:18Afterward, Eric hung up the call
14:21and immediately made another call to Luke.
14:25Help Emma change her phone number.
14:27From now on, whenever there are any jobs or events,
14:31give them my number.
14:34Will do, sir.
14:36Luke could sense the anger in Eric's voice
14:39even though he didn't know what happened.
14:42After their conversation, Luke relayed the information to Lisa,
14:46who guessed that Emma must have received a threatening phone call
14:50for Eric to react in such an extreme way.
14:54Her guess was pretty spot on,
14:56as Giselle said she hoped Emma got hit by a car.
15:01And if anyone had the ability to throw Giselle into a place beyond redemption,
15:07it would be Eric Roberts,
15:09one of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry.
15:14As Giselle put her phone down, her fingers were trembling.
15:18She didn't know why she'd made that phone call.
15:21Most importantly, she'd never imagined Eric would end up picking up the phone.
15:27She tossed her phone aside, covered her eyes and burst into tears.
15:33Although she didn't want to accept it,
15:35apart from going into hiding, she really had no other choice.
15:41It was 10 p.m.
15:42Giselle was dressed in formal wear as she faced the media outside her home.
15:48The reporters had roughly guessed what was going on.
15:51Giselle was standing before them because of the words Eric had said the day before.
15:57He had told the perpetrator behind Emma's injuries to confess within the day.
16:03No one understood why Giselle disliked Emma so much.
16:07To put it plainly, Emma could have died from this stunt she pulled.
16:12The night was cold.
16:14Giselle faced the reporters dressed in a black coat and wearing an exquisite layer of makeup.
16:21Underneath the rainy sky, her assistant Alice followed her with an umbrella.
16:26She had a stern expression on her face.
16:30I, Giselle Stone, am officially announcing that I'm leaving the modeling industry.
16:36From this day on, I'm finished with the entertainment industry entirely.
16:42I would like to thank all the people who've supported me over the years.
16:47I don't know how to repay you.
16:49I simply hope you will remember me.
16:52After speaking, Giselle gave a small wave
16:55and turned around to leave before the reporters were given a chance to ask questions.
17:01Standing in the light rain,
17:03the reporters all had their own thoughts and assumptions regarding Giselle's sudden action.
17:10Good evening and thank you for watching Entertainment Tonight.
17:14According to the latest information from our reporters,
17:17as of 10 p.m. tonight, Star King's model Giselle has officially announced her farewell
17:23to the entertainment industry after a brief interview outside her home.
17:28Giselle appeared in front of the cameras looking haggard, but her speech was concise.
17:33She quickly announced that she's leaving the industry before disappearing out of sight.
17:38However, everyone is confused as to why
17:41a seemingly normal model would suddenly announce her retirement.
17:46It's not hard to tie it back to the incident that happened
17:49last night at the awards ceremony, where Emma was attacked by a stranger
17:54and was seriously injured after falling off the stage.
17:57Emma's manager, who we now know is Eric Roberts, the CEO of Kaleidoscope Entertainment,
18:04didn't believe the incident was merely an accident
18:07and insisted the perpetrator confess and explain themselves.
18:12From what we have gathered, during the ceremony, Giselle insulted Emma multiple times.
18:19I'm sure it's not hard for everyone to draw a conclusion
18:22as to why Giselle announced that she's leaving the industry.
18:26According to our reporters, Emma didn't report the incident.
18:30In fact, she endured the pain all the way until the end of the ceremony.
18:36It was only because her injury was serious that both the situation
18:40and her manager's fury escalated.
18:43The lesson learned here?
18:45No matter who you are, humble yourself.
18:48Otherwise, you may end up not only hurting others, but also yourself.
19:09After watching the news, Eric turned off the TV.
19:13He was not satisfied with the way Giselle handled the matter.
19:17She simply announced her retirement and had no intention whatsoever of apologizing to Emma.
19:24Emma could see how much this was angering her husband.
19:28Seeing he was about to call Luke, she reached out her hand and stopped him.
19:34That's enough.
19:35For someone like Giselle, destroying her career is much worse than killing her.
19:41Besides, what's the point of forcing her to apologize?
19:46Don't waste your energy on people like that.
19:49Eric, you need some rest.
19:52Eric turned his head and noticed her patting the spot beside her.
19:56He couldn't possibly refuse.
19:59So he strolled over, sat down, and wrapped her in his embrace, saying,
20:05I love you so much.
20:08Emma took the opportunity to massage his shoulders and noticed his muscles were tense.
20:15Look, she said.
20:17You've been working too hard.
20:19Even your body is trying to tell you to get some rest.
20:23Eric did not say another word.
20:26As he hugged her, he slowly lowered his body,
20:29pressed his lips against her forehead, and closed his eyes.
20:34I already have the most powerful manager, she continued.
20:39So people like Giselle aren't even on my radar.
20:43Stop wasting your precious time on people like that.
20:47Okay.
20:48Eric nodded with his eyes closed.
20:51Lisa treated Emma's recovery as a long vacation.
20:55With Eric taking care of Emma's every need,
20:58there was nothing left for her to worry about.
21:02Overcome with boredom, she headed over to Kaleidoscope.
21:06She wanted to find Luke to help her pass the time.
21:09However, just as she reached the doorway of Luke's office,
21:13she could make out the sound of him yelling at a subordinate.
21:18She leaned close to listen, trying to stay hidden behind the doorframe.
21:23Suddenly, Luke's secretary ran out crying.
21:27Lisa shook her head, walked into the office,
21:30and said to Luke, that's not the right way to train people.
21:34Come on, Luke.
21:36Be nicer to your employees.
21:38How could you make her cry?
21:41Luke closed the folder in front of him.
21:43He was obviously still angry.
21:46This was the first time Lisa had seen Luke angry.
21:50As she watched him trying to contain his anger,
21:54his ears burned red.
21:55She couldn't help but find him adorable.
21:59So tell me, she continued.
22:02How many people have you made cry?
22:04At least ten?
22:06He lifted his head.
22:07It looked like he was fighting back a smile.
22:10As he looked at Lisa, he could feel his heart flutter.
22:15You, why are you looking at me like that?
22:18Lisa asked.
22:19At least I never made you cry before, he replied.
22:24After hearing this, Lisa stood stunned for a moment.
22:28Her heart racing.
22:29Before she realized she'd almost misinterpreted his words.
22:34Because there was no way his words could contain a deeper meaning.
22:39The more she thought about it, the more she realized he was simply trying to say
22:43she wasn't like most women.
22:46Lisa let out a gentle laugh.
22:48She felt a bit silly as she mumbled.
22:51I almost believed it.
22:53What was that?
22:54He asked.
22:56She lifted her head and smiled at him.
22:58It's because I have a strong heart.
23:01Now, why don't you tell me why you're angry at your secretary?
23:05I don't like it when people casually enter my home.
23:08I asked her to retrieve some documents from my place.
23:11And she cleaned up my bedroom while she was there.
23:15Luke explained as he looked down at his documents.
23:18A serious expression on his face.
23:21As soon as Lisa heard his explanation.
23:23Her heart once again started racing.
23:26Because she had been to Luke's home.
23:29And it even stayed a night there.
23:31However, Luke had never said anything.
23:35She felt that meant she was in a special category.
23:39Honestly, your home is quite messy sometimes.
23:43She responded awkwardly.
23:45She then said something she couldn't believe came out of her mouth.
23:49Since I have a few free days.
23:52Why don't I go help you clean up a bit?
23:55As soon as the words left her mouth.
23:57Lisa was tempted to bite off her own tongue.
24:01Luke's head remained buried in his work.
24:03As the room fell into a few minutes of silence.
24:07Then, suddenly, he lifted his head.
24:10Handed her a set of keys and said.
24:13Okay.
24:15Her face flushed red.
24:17She wasn't sure if Luke was thinking the same thing as her.
24:21If not, she would need to let him know how she felt about him soon.
24:26If it got to a point where they couldn't even be friends.
24:30She would know what to do.
24:32So, Lisa grabbed the keys.
24:34And with the confidence that she held a special place with Luke.
24:38She headed to his home.
24:40On the surface, they were still an engaged couple.
24:44And at that moment.
24:45She was at Luke's home helping him clean up.
24:48She could hardly understand what it all meant.
24:52Lisa tidied Luke's bedroom.
24:54And washed his dirty clothes.
24:56Including his socks and underwear.
24:59As she stood in front of the washing machine.
25:02She furrowed her brows.
25:04She was worried that if she didn't quickly contain her heart.
25:08She wouldn't be able to control her feelings for Luke.
25:11And would fall deeper and deeper into this dangerously ambiguous situation.
25:17Half an hour later.
25:19Luke began to drive home.
25:21As Eric was spending most of his time taking care of Emma.
25:25Luke's workload had increased dramatically.
25:28Causing him to work late.
25:31After opening the door.
25:32And seeing Lisa doing his laundry.
25:34He headed straight for his bedroom without hesitation.
25:38And laid down on his bed with the door open.
25:42Lisa looked at him awkwardly.
25:44Wondering.
25:45Doesn't he notice I'm here?
25:48She assumed he would want to take a shower and get some rest.
25:51So she decided to greet him quickly and leave.
25:55However.
25:56Just as soon as Lisa opened her mouth.
25:58She heard Luke's muffled voice coming from his pillow.
26:02I haven't eaten yet.
26:04I'm hungry.
26:06Lisa stopped her thoughts from wandering.
26:08And willingly prepared dinner for Luke.
26:11But by the time she'd finished.
26:13He'd fallen asleep.
26:15Lisa gently retrieved the keys from her pocket.
26:18And placed them on the table.
26:20However.
26:21This little bit of noise woke him up.
26:24He sat up and looked at Lisa.
26:27Take the keys with you.
26:29She just stood there.
26:30Speechless.
26:32I'm gonna be really busy.
26:34So I'm sure my home is gonna look like a mess.
26:38And I can't trust other people.
26:40Hearing this.
26:41A smile appeared on Lisa's face.
26:44Hurry up and eat dinner.
26:46You can go back to sleep after you eat.
26:49Luke took a few seconds to respond.
26:52He eventually got out of bed.
26:54As he watched Lisa leave.
26:56Then.
26:56He leaned his back against the door.
26:58And held a hand over his heart.
27:00Thinking.
27:01Why did I want her to stay longer?
27:04It seemed that.
27:05By the next day.
27:07Not only would he need to create more dirty clothes.
27:10He would also have to break his pipes.
27:12And blow his fuses.
27:14He tried to think of all the things he could pull.
27:17To keep Lisa at his place longer.
27:20Of course.
27:21He wasn't the only one thinking along this path.
27:25Lisa wanted to stay a little longer too.
27:29As she looked at these sparkling keys in her hand.
27:32She suddenly felt like the stars were aligning.
27:35For her and Luke.
27:37Uh.
27:37Why must you torture me like this Luke?
27:40She thought.
27:41Lisa pulled out her own keys.
27:43And opened her car door.
27:45However.
27:46Just as she got into the car.
27:48She received a phone call from Luke.
27:51Uh.
27:52I have a document that I can't find.
27:54While you were cleaning the room.
27:56Do you know where you put it?
27:57It's really important.
27:58It's in a blue folder.
28:01It's on this shelf.
28:02Third row.
28:03Second drawer.
28:04It's not there.
28:06Come back.
28:07And help me find it.
28:10You
28:26Episode 244.
28:29A meaningful mess.
28:32Lisa looked at her phone blankly for a few seconds.
28:35Then.
28:36She stepped out of her car.
28:37And returned to Luke's apartment.
28:40She tried the doorknob.
28:41And realized Luke had already unlocked the door.
28:45As she pushed it open and entered.
28:48She discovered Luke had turned his study inside out.
28:52Is this what you call looking for a document?
28:55This is what I call messing up your home.
28:58Lisa was shocked as she knelt on the floor.
29:01And started helping him search for the blue folder.
29:04I had no choice.
29:06I had to try and find it.
29:08It's way too important.
29:10Luke said as he tilted his head awkwardly.
29:13Leaning against his office desk.
29:16It's fine.
29:17I'll find it.
29:18You leave.
29:20I'll look around.
29:21Lisa waved him out asking.
29:23Who usually cleans up after you when you search for documents like this?
29:28He didn't respond as he quickly slipped out of the room.
29:32Who am I trying to fool?
29:33He thought.
29:35If this was my method of looking for documents.
29:38Eric would have fired me a hundred times already.
29:41This was simply the only way he could make Lisa stay for a little while longer.
29:47After leaving the study.
29:49Luke leaned against the cold wall.
29:51And tried to calm himself down.
29:53He didn't understand why he had the impulse to do such a thing.
29:58Lisa accepted her fate of tidying Luke's study all over again.
30:04But when she thought about it.
30:06Luke was a diligent worker.
30:09In fact he was capable and meticulous.
30:13She couldn't understand how a man like him.
30:16Could simply throw an important document randomly on the office desk.
30:21Finding a blue folder amongst these documents shouldn't have been that difficult.
30:26So there was no reason to throw everything on the floor.
30:30Not to mention a normal person's train of thought.
30:34Like her own for example.
30:36Would be to clean up after themselves.
30:38Not to trouble others to do it for them.
30:42Could it be that he wanted to keep me around for a bit?
30:46Lisa thought wistfully.
30:48Her heart was in a mess because of Luke.
30:51While tidying the room.
30:52Her imagination was going wild.
30:56As she unsteadily stood on her tiptoes.
30:58To place documents on the highest shelf of his bookcase.
31:02He suddenly appeared from behind her.
31:04And reached out his hand to gently nudge the documents into place.
31:09Lisa turned around.
31:11Their bodies were almost touching.
31:13She felt a little awkward.
31:16Just as she was about to push him away.
31:18He placed one hand on the shelf and said.
31:21It's snowing outside.
31:23It's really coming down.
31:25I don't think you should drive home tonight.
31:28What do you mean by that?
31:29Lisa couldn't hold back anymore.
31:32Her heart was beating so fast.
31:34It felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
31:37If Luke was to do one more thing out of the ordinary.
31:40She would pounce on him.
31:43It's really snowing.
31:45He said again.
31:46Who's asking you about the snow?
31:48She thought.
31:50Lisa was so anxious that she was about to cry.
31:53She really wanted to know where things stood between them.
31:57She knew that if she were to miss out on this chance.
32:00She wouldn't know when the next would come.
32:03But what if I'm the only one who feels this way?
32:06She thought.
32:07Do you realize that you're a single man?
32:10And I'm a single woman.
32:12Oh, he said.
32:14I thought you were my fiance.
32:17For a man like him to suddenly say something like that.
32:21It was impossible not to get goosebumps.
32:25Wasn't that all just a cover?
32:28Lisa was beginning to stutter.
32:30As a layer of sweat formed on her face.
32:33Isn't it winter?
32:34She thought.
32:35Why am I sweating?
32:37Luke did not respond.
32:39However, he made an extremely surprising move.
32:43He leaned forward and gently placed a peck on her cheek.
32:48Just like that.
32:49Lisa felt like her soul had been awakened.
32:53I did all of this because I didn't want you to leave.
32:56He confessed.
32:58Oh, God.
33:00She thought.
33:01In an instant, Lisa felt like her heart was going to explode.
33:06Extreme joy filled her body from head to toe.
33:10She asked him.
33:12Why didn't you want me to leave?
33:14Luke tilted his head and pointed outside the study.
33:18I just simply didn't want you to leave.
33:21I even thought of multiple reasons to hold you back.
33:25Including blowing the fuses and breaking my pipes.
33:29She let out a laugh.
33:31I don't know how to fix the fuses.
33:33Although if you were to break the pipes,
33:35were you planning on flooding the house?
33:38He lowered his head shyly.
33:40But after a few seconds, he suddenly lifted it up again and said.
33:45I want to hug you.
33:47She blushed under the lighting of the room.
33:50She looked particularly attractive.
33:53She slowly took one step forward and moved into Luke's embrace.
33:58He was actually quite nervous.
34:01But he still stretched out his arms and wrapped them around her tightly.
34:05He did not hold back.
34:08Although the hug was so tight, it felt a little painful.
34:12To Lisa, it was a sweet pain.
34:15So she allowed Luke to continue hugging her as she put her head on his chest,
34:20listening to his heartbeat.
34:23Tonight, you shouldn't leave.
34:25He repeated.
34:26It's honestly snowing hard outside.
34:30Lisa's expression changed as she replied anxiously.
34:34Just know that we're not having sex.
34:36When a man says that he only wants to make out and that they won't put it in, it's all lies.
34:42Luke stood silently, not knowing how to react.
34:46Lisa suddenly realized she was being too straightforward.
34:50So she quickly tried to explain that.
34:54I mean, I simply want to look at you, he said, cutting her off.
35:00Just like that night when I had a fever and we each slept on separate sofas.
35:06Lisa realized she had completely misinterpreted Luke's intention.
35:11Her face turned even more red.
35:14The two quickly tidied the study together,
35:17walked into the living room while holding hands and sat down on the sofa.
35:23Luke watched Lisa as she fell asleep.
35:25He let out a gentle laugh and thought, this is nice.
35:31That night, Lisa had a dream.
35:33It was a beautiful dream.
35:36So beautiful that she didn't want to wake up.
35:39She simply wanted to be with Luke forever.
35:42The next morning, Luke and Lisa arrived at Tribeca together.
35:47Emma analyzed the expression on their faces and noticed Lisa's shyness.
35:53She immediately caught on.
35:55If you have good news, you know you have to tell me immediately.
36:01Lisa sat beside Emma and gave her a relaxed smile.
36:05I didn't have time to call you last night.
36:08So are you guys actually together?
36:12Emma asked with uncertainty.
36:15Uh-huh, Lisa said, nodding.
36:18Both our lives revolve around this industry.
36:21Being able to meet someone we like is not an easy task.
36:26Although I still feel a little self-conscious, I'll try not to let it bother me.
36:31It's only a two-year age difference.
36:34Who cares about that?
36:36There's also my weight, said Lisa.
36:39Lisa, you're beautiful.
36:42And Luke likes you just the way you are.
36:45But if you're looking to lose a little, I can give you some meal and exercise pointers.
36:51Lisa thought about Emma's nutritious meals
36:55and how she didn't think she'd ever seen her eat any carbs.
36:59Emma also exercised regularly.
37:02She did a lot to maintain her figure.
37:05Don't worry about trying to match Luke, said Emma.
37:09Luke was standing outside the door.
37:11As he heard their discussion, he felt a little awkward.
37:15So he decided to look for Eric first.
37:18Eric was in the middle of a video chat.
37:21After he was done, he looked at Luke and said,
37:24The program list I asked you to compile yesterday.
37:28Have you finished it?
37:30Yes, sir.
37:31Luke handed him the information.
37:34Contact the television studio.
37:36Tell them Emma has agreed to go on Real Talk in 10 days.
37:41Eric instructed.
37:43But what about Emma's hip injury?
37:46Just go do it.
37:48I know what I'm doing.
37:50Eric assured him.
37:51This is currently the best interview program in the country.
37:56It can establish Emma's status as a top model.
