00:00Episode 267 Misunderstandings
00:16Inside the quiet and luxurious hotel, Lisa and Luke were enjoying dinner together. Luke
00:23kept his promise and didn't make things difficult for her, following their agreement not to
00:29meet his parents. However, she was so nervous about his suggestion to go to his house after
00:37dinner that her palms were sweaty. She wasn't as prepared to take their relationship to
00:43the next level as she thought. She browsed the news on her phone as she ate her steak
00:50in an effort to distract herself and came across a photo and news clip about Charlene
00:56being seriously beaten. She lifted her head and looked at Luke before showing him her
01:02phone.
01:03Was this Eric's doing? He glanced down slightly and said, confused. Apparently, your sources
01:13are faster than mine.
01:15She was surprised by his reaction and said, I'm just being nosy. I'm sure everything is
01:22under control and there's nothing you need to know. However, the fact that she found
01:29the information before the paparazzi and major media companies was a feat in itself.
01:36Is she stupid? Does she really think people will care about her complaining and whining
01:43like this? She asked.
01:45First, she was humiliated by Amy and then punished by Kaleidoscope. Even Star King cut
01:53off their communication with her. What else can she do but go online? He looked at her
02:00as he put down his knife and fork. Are you going to spend our entire dinner talking about
02:06work? She felt herself get flustered again as she replied in a small voice. You make
02:13me nervous. Me? He asked, confused. You said we were going to your place after dinner,
02:23she said. Luke let out a small laugh. Weren't you the one who said you wanted to wait until
02:30you got married? Why would you assume anything's going to happen tonight? She let out a sigh
02:37as she complained. It's not my fault. Everyone knows that's what happens when a guy invites
02:44a girl to their house after a nice dinner like this. I'd never take that step without
02:51your permission, he said. She playfully threatened him with a fork. He wouldn't dare. He laughed
03:00and gestured for her to finish eating. She finally relaxed and enjoyed the rest of her
03:06delicious dinner. After dinner, they went back to his apartment. As promised, he didn't
03:13take things too far, but he did press her against the sofa and kiss her passionately.
03:21Her heart raced as they kissed like there was no tomorrow. After several minutes, he
03:27pulled away and went to the bathroom while she laughed quietly and pressed a hand against
03:33her chest, breathing hard. Inside the dark and dreary apartment, it was so quiet you
03:41could hear a pin drop. Charlene was hiding in Amy's room. She had exposed everything
03:48online, but despite the beating, she only had minor injuries. She'd gone to her boyfriend's
03:56home following the assault and planned on exchanging Kaleidoscope's secrets for a position
04:02in Star King, but when she got there, she caught him having sex with a couple of models.
04:09She had left distraught and brokenhearted, with nowhere to go. Though she still had a
04:16key to Amy's apartment and decided to hide out there, unsure of what to do next.
04:24She looked around Amy's apartment and, in a fit of desperation, stuffed all of Amy's
04:31jewelry into her pockets. She considered it a bonus after all her years of hard work.
04:38It wasn't much, and she was sure Amy wouldn't miss it. As she thought about all the abuse
04:45she had endured at Amy's hands, she decided to scour the apartment and take whatever she
04:52could find. As she was leaving the apartment a while later, she received a phone call from
04:59an unfamiliar number.
05:01Hello, is this Charlene? My name is Kyle, I'm a reporter for Her Vision Studio. I'm
05:09calling you regarding the post you made today. There's clearly no reason for you to stay
05:14with Kaleidoscope, so why don't you join our company?
05:19I'm not interested, she said, and went to hang up, but his next sentence caught her
05:25attention. We're currently investigating Emma. We can negotiate a price in exchange
05:31for any information you can give us about her.
05:35Grinding her teeth at the mention of Emma, she said, I need a place to stay.
05:42No problem, Kyle responded. Give me your address, I'll head there now, she said.
05:49Her Vision had been trying to collect information on Emma for months, especially the men
05:55they believed she had been with. They didn't think her achievements or recent signing with
06:01Kaleidoscope were fair, and wanted to expose her for the fraud they believed she was.
06:08Charlene stopped her car outside Her Vision's headquarters, a little nervous. However, she'd
06:15already lost everything, so there wasn't much more they could do to her. Gathering her courage,
06:22she entered the building and met up with Kyle. He showed her the information he had
06:27already gathered, and explained, I've been trailing her for two months, trying to find
06:33out what she's hiding, and finally captured a photo of her kissing a man. There are even
06:39rumors that she's with the CEO of Kaleidoscope. This woman is a liar who keeps claiming she's
06:46single, yet meets up with a different man in every country.
06:51She looked at the blurry pic. There was no way she could tell who the man in the photo
06:57was, let alone tell that it was Eric.
07:01What do you want me to do? She asked. Do you have any information about Emma and Eric?
07:07Photos, anything? He asked. All we're missing is solid evidence. I'm sure she'll end up
07:14meeting with another man, and I want to be there to get a photo and finally destroy her.
07:44more money than you know what to do with, he said, smiling at her. Just the thought
07:50of Emma and the rest of Kaleidoscope's artists groveling at her feet made her exceptionally
07:58happy. She nodded her head and signed the contract. All she had to do now was find evidence
08:05of Emma sleeping with other artists, and hope that everything ran smoothly. But if she got
08:13she would wish she was dead. Eric and Emma got home from the celebration dinner, reeking
08:20of alcohol. The couple fell onto the sofa. She lay on top of him and rubbed her nose
08:27against his neck. I'm really happy, Eric. I can tell, he said, smiling as she snuggled
08:37against him. It was rare for him to see her as relaxed and happy as she was that night,
08:44especially in front of so many strangers. He would do anything to keep her this happy
08:52all the time. So what else can you do? Can you dance? She asked. Instead of answering,
09:02he helped her up and led her in a dance on the slippery tiled floor. She leaned on him
09:08and copied his movements. Neither of them spoke, but they didn't need to. This moment
09:16was just for them. She wished she could stay like this forever. A while later, she asked
09:24quietly. Have you thought about what you'll do if the staff at Kaleidoscope doesn't accept
09:31our relationship? I've been worried that someone else will cause trouble like Amy did.
09:38If anything happened, I'd blame myself. You were so confident when you went up against
09:45Amy, he said. I'd never let someone hurt you, she replied. Of course I'd be angry and defend
09:55you with everything in me. He hugged her, a smile gracing his face. Her protection of
10:02him filled his heart and made him so happy he could burst. It was nice knowing that she
10:08had his back, just like he had hers. I will always give my all and fight back, no matter
10:17how scared I am, she said. He froze before wrapping his arms around her and pressing
10:24her against the back of the sofa. I don't need you to give your all, I just need you
10:31to give yourself to me. She lifted her head and nibbled on his lower lip before intertwining
10:38her tongue with his. She wrapped her arms around his neck and murmured, I feel like
10:46I fall more in love with you every day. You've only realized that now, he teased. I accept
10:55my fate, she said before pushing him down on the couch and covering him with her body.
11:03Let me take the lead for once.
11:06The following morning, rumors started circulating about Amy being banned from the company. The
11:13PR department didn't deny anything, hinting that the rumors might have been true. It was
11:20no secret who started these rumors, Kaleidoscope itself. Their company had always been united,
11:28so the fact that Amy was brave enough to challenge Eric's authority like this meant that she
11:34was planning on leaving the agency sooner or later, hence it was better for them to
11:40get rid of her quickly. They were sending everyone a message, anyone planning on disrupting
11:47the culture of the company would end up like Amy. She was the first artist they had ever
11:54banned, so the impact was even more shocking. Amy sat in her hospital room as she read the
12:02news on her phone, tears rolling down her pale and wounded face. She couldn't believe
12:08that she ever thought she could destroy Eric. What a joke! Now her career was ruined. She
12:17cried as she smashed her phone. Surprisingly enough, Luis was the first person to visit
12:24her in the hospital. Of course, he didn't come empty-handed, he came with a compromise.
12:32Although, we don't owe you anything. You've been with us for several years, so Eric has
12:38decided to let you keep Cece. I'm sure he's only doing this out of pity, she said angrily.
12:47What did you think? He replied. Sooner or later, someone was bound to replace you. Even
12:54if it hadn't been Emma, it would have been someone else. Your biggest mistake was hurting
13:00Caitlyn. She was speechless and turned her head to look out of the window. She finally
13:07said, Caitlyn has it better than I do right now. That's because she has a conscience.
13:15He gave her Cece's information and said, stay out of Emma and Eric's way, and stay out of
13:22the modeling industry. He won't be so lenient next time. What else could I possibly do?
13:30She laughed sardonically as she held on to the information. I might have lost to Emma,
13:37but that doesn't mean she'll be better off.
13:49Episode 269, Savior. It's not up to you to decide whether or not she'll be better off.
13:59You need to worry more about yourself.
14:03Chris turned to leave, but looked back when he reached the doorway. I've lured the media
14:08away. This is your best chance to get out of here. Amy looked at him and said, I know
14:15you think I'm pretty. Why don't we have a little fun before you leave? He scoffed in
14:23your dreams. She laughed quietly as she got out of bed. I don't want Cece, but can you
14:31take me home? They'd known each other for six years, and even though they didn't cross paths
14:38often, there was no reason for him to be cruel. After assessing the situation, he nodded and said,
14:47go get changed. She quickly got dressed and left the hospital with his assistance.
14:53When she got home, she saw that it had been ransacked and was a mess. Everything valuable
15:00had been taken. It had to have been Charlene. She was the only one with a key to her apartment.
15:08Amy fell apart as she knelt on the floor. Luis offered her his hand as he watched her break
15:15down. Unfortunately, the gesture was caught by paparazzi lurking in the shadows of a nearby
15:22building. Not long after, a story was released online. Kaleidoscope's artist director is sleeping
15:30with Caitlyn and Amy and playing both women. Some of the headlines were even worse and claimed that
15:38he was only helping her to get close to her. The stories may not have been real, but the photo of
15:45him helping her was. Emma was at Caitlyn's apartment when she saw the news. The photo
15:52of Luis helping Amy had been blown up on the screen, and she glanced at Caitlyn as she eyed
15:59the picture. Caitlyn didn't say anything. She just turned off the TV. Caitlyn, Luis isn't that
16:08type of person, Emma said. What do I care what type of person he is? Caitlyn asked her curiously.
16:17Don't tell me you're playing matchmaker. It's impossible. I refuse to be a stepmother.
16:25And even if I was willing, Luis will be blacklisted after today. They were clearly together
16:31at the time. The media didn't make that part up. She rolled her eyes. Emma, not everyone will find
16:40their Eric. I've already been hurt once. I won't let myself get hurt again. Why are you getting
16:49so worked up? asked Emma. Caitlyn's reaction was over the top and made Emma think she was hiding
16:57something. Caitlyn let out a frustrated sigh as Emma studied her and said, I was in an abusive
17:05relationship with a cheating asshole for 10 years and had three abortions. There's no way a man will
17:12want me. I'm damaged goods. She held up her hand, halting Emma as she opened her mouth.
17:19She looked down and continued. This doesn't mean I'll settle for anything. Luis is good to everyone.
17:27And I know he doesn't have feelings for Amy. But I don't need someone with a hero complex
17:34who can't help trying to save and comfort everyone. I'd rather find a simple man who's
17:41looking for a housewife. Emma felt her heart ache at the pain in her voice. Her past wasn't her fault.
17:50But she knew it would always haunt her and make her self conscious. Okay, I'll let the Luis talk
17:58go. I'm going to France on the 18th. Do you want to come with me? She asked. Isn't Eric going with
18:07you? I don't want to intrude. Caitlyn said she was running from her feelings, but it was impossible
18:14to refuse fate. Emma was deep in thought when Eric called. She didn't want to risk upsetting Caitlyn
18:21again. So she headed into the living room. When she came back into the room, Caitlyn looked at her
18:29and said, Was that Eric? You haven't been gone that long. It was work related, she explained.
18:36Go ahead. I want to get some rest anyway, Caitlyn said. She looked at Caitlyn sadly for a second
18:44before she turned and left the apartment. Eric's car was parked outside. As soon as he saw her,
18:50he opened the car door. Caitlyn watched the couple's interaction from the window and couldn't
18:56help but feel envious, wondering what her future held. After a moment, she pulled out her phone
19:04and called an old classmate. She agreed to a blind date, desperate for a relationship of her own.
19:13Luke came across Luis after he'd finished his work for the day. He grabbed onto Luis's arm and asked,
19:21What's going on with you and Amy? What are you gonna do about Caitlyn?
19:27What are you talking about? What is Caitlyn have to do with me? Luis asked, confused.
19:34If you aren't interested in her, then why did you stand out in the cold for five hours? You
19:40caught the flu because of her, Luke said. I told you, you're overthinking things.
19:47Luis rolled his eyes. I would have done it for anyone. Even Amy? Luke challenged. Sure.
19:57Your hero complex is gonna get you in trouble, Luke said. As he turned to leave, he spotted
20:03Charlene. What's she doing here? Luis followed his gaze and looked at Charlene. He patted Luke
20:12on the shoulder. I'll deal with this. He turned and headed toward her. She had some nerve showing
20:19up here after robbing Amy. He paused suddenly as he thought about Luke's question. Am I getting
20:28carried away and sticking my nose into too many people's business? He was used to handling PR
20:35matters for his artists and speaking to the media, but he always had a plan. He was professional,
20:43and his actions never meant anything. The only time he'd ever acted impulsively
20:49was when he stood in front of a government official's home for five hours.
