00:00 9. Surprise!
00:03 The angry mob waited outside the airport for two hours with no sign of Emma.
00:09 Finally, they figured she'd either returned early or snuck out.
00:15 They started calling her a cheap, sneaky model in response.
00:19 It was hard to understand these people's mentality.
00:23 Did they really think she was stupid enough to walk right into an ambush?
00:29 They truly believed only the guilty hid from judgment, and none of them thought to ferret
00:35 out the truth.
00:36 The crowd headed to H-World after Emma's no-show and surrounded the building, demanding to
00:43 know where Emma was, though none of the employees had seen her.
00:48 One of the employees finally told them that they would be making an announcement later
00:53 that afternoon and asked for their patience.
00:56 The crowd continued to yell out in anger.
00:59 "If H-World continues to protect Emma, we'll boycott them until they close down.
01:06 We know the industry is dirty, but we hope you care more about punishing horrible people
01:11 like Emma than your bottom line.
01:15 Anyone who goes into hiding deserves to spend the rest of their life in the dark."
01:21 Eric held a meeting with Kaleidoscope's board and told everyone that he prepared a contract
01:26 and would be signing Emma.
01:28 The board members looked at each other, surprised that the same man who rejected artists over
01:34 the smallest things would sign Emma.
01:37 "Sir, I'm sure you're aware of how her latest 'incident' has stirred up New York.
01:44 Why would you allow someone like that in Kaleidoscope?"
01:48 Eric gave the staff member a piercing stare before replying, "How did you get into management?
01:55 Is this your first day on the job?
01:58 Last I checked, we do our own research.
02:02 We don't rely on outside gossip.
02:05 If that's the type of person you are, then you can voice your opinion from the unemployment
02:10 line.
02:11 Is that what you want?"
02:13 He waited until the staff member shook his head before continuing, "I want to know what
02:18 you're saying.
02:19 I want you to write a 30,000 word report on the consequences of your actions.
02:24 And I want it on my desk in the morning.
02:27 Understood?"
02:28 The man nodded, too afraid to make a sound.
02:32 As for the others, they had worked with him for years and understood his methods.
02:39 There was no way he would sign Emma if the rumors about her were true.
02:44 "We trust your decision, sir," some of the other board members said.
02:49 Everyone else expressed their support.
02:52 Most of them had seen her on the runway and were impressed by her.
02:57 Many of them had considered asking him to poach her a while ago, but they were afraid
03:02 he would reject her thanks to everything she'd been through lately.
03:07 They never imagined that he would decide to sign her himself, especially in the midst
03:13 of this latest scandal.
03:15 "Good.
03:16 Then it's decided.
03:18 Luis, please stay.
03:21 Everyone else is dismissed," Eric said.
03:24 The higher-ups slowly got up and left the meeting room while Luis stayed behind.
03:30 Eric handed over the information Luke had prepared and put him in charge of organizing
03:35 the press conference.
03:37 After flipping through the contract in his hands, Luis froze and said, "Sir, her manager
03:44 is-"
03:45 "I want to manage her personally.
03:47 Do you have a problem with that?" he asked.
03:51 "I don't want anyone to know about it, not even Emma.
03:55 I'll tell her on my own time."
03:59 Luis didn't understand why he would give her such special treatment.
04:04 But before he could say anything, Eric, sensing his doubt, answered his silent query, "She's
04:12 worth it."
04:13 "I understand, sir, and I will handle it.
04:17 Don't worry," Luis said.
04:19 Luis discovered everything that had happened to Emma while she was with H-World as he looked
04:25 through the compiled information.
04:27 He didn't understand how Eric had found the information, though.
04:32 Guess he's been involved from the start, he thought.
04:36 Either way, H-World should be ashamed of themselves.
04:40 Their methods were despicable.
04:42 I can't wait to see their announcement later on.
04:45 I have a feeling Eric has a plan.
04:49 After numerous discussions, the H-World higher-ups finally convinced Lucas to accept media interviews
04:56 at the entrance to the building.
04:59 Luis smiled at the media and anti-fans surrounding him before he looked at the cameras and said,
05:05 "First, on behalf of H-World and Emma, I would like to apologize to the public regarding
05:11 the recent incident with Margot Davis.
05:15 We have concluded that Emma did make a promise to Margot, but we don't know if the rumors
05:20 spreading online are true.
05:23 Due to her refusal to cooperate with our investigation and the resignation letter she sent our agency,
05:31 she is no longer employed with us and is the first artist we have banned from working with
05:38 us.
05:39 We will unite with the general public and fight against corrupt figures alongside you.
05:45 We appreciate your support and will continue to work hard and make adjustments accordingly.
05:52 Thank you."
05:53 Lisa was watching the news at Tribeca and listening to the words Lucas was spouting
05:59 off.
06:00 Every word felt like a verbal slap, courtesy of Charlotte.
06:05 Luke complained, "This is the kind of stuff that makes me question their values."
06:10 "Pfft, I don't think they have values."
06:14 Lisa rolled her eyes.
06:15 "I feel sorry for Emma."
06:18 Luke eyed her before glancing at Emma.
06:21 "She's about to sign with Kaleidoscope.
06:23 I think she'll be just fine," he thought.
06:27 "Ugh, that jerk is still talking.
06:29 I really want to strangle him.
06:32 He is so annoying," Lisa said angrily.
06:36 Lucas was still answering the reporter's questions.
06:39 "All I can say is she's nothing like she appears to be.
06:44 From now on, we will ban every person we come across like her."
06:49 The anti-fans were all clapping and cheering.
06:52 They just knew H-World's banishment would be a life sentence for Emma.
06:58 However, in all their excitement, they forgot one thing.
07:03 Since when did H-World call the shots in the entertainment industry?
07:09 While reporters were focused on Lucas' interview, no one realized that shocking news had just
07:15 exploded onto the entertainment scene.
07:25 EPISODE 210 HOW EMBARRASSING
07:29 Kaleidoscope Entertainment announces that they have signed on Emma Miller, officially
07:34 becoming her new owner.
07:36 The top entertainment agency signs Emma Miller.
07:39 Cheers all around.
07:41 Kaleidoscope beats H-World's announcement.
07:44 It's your bandworth.
07:46 Kaleidoscope's contract with Emma Miller a mystery.
07:49 H-World's words hold no weight.
07:52 Kaleidoscope has signed Emma?
07:55 As soon as people heard the news, they were stunned.
07:58 It was such an unexpected outcome.
08:02 Kaleidoscope held an ultimate position in the entertainment industry.
08:06 People wondered how they could possibly sign Emma on.
08:10 However, after seeing the official announcement on the company's website and other channels,
08:16 everyone had no choice but to believe it.
08:19 It was all real.
08:21 They weren't dreaming.
08:23 H-World had announced that they were banning Emma.
08:27 But ten minutes later, she had already signed on with Kaleidoscope and become one of their
08:33 models.
08:34 The reporters stared at each other as Lucas continued to answer questions and spill secrets
08:41 about Emma.
08:42 He expressed that since she was already banned, he no longer needed to be wary of her.
08:48 He was determined to continue on his path to ruin her until the very end.
08:55 The reporters suddenly felt awkward.
08:58 As Lucas expressed his intentional hatred toward Emma, they really wanted to warn him
09:04 to stop talking.
09:06 He was acting completely senseless.
09:09 If he continued speaking, he would only make everyone listening feel more uncomfortable.
09:15 The scene playing out appeared comical and ridiculous.
09:21 A few reporters on the scene started to receive phone calls from their companies.
09:26 It was a key moment to snatch headlines.
09:29 No one wanted to waste time on H-World.
09:33 Short reporters were already waiting outside Kaleidoscope Entertainment.
09:39 At that moment, the reporter sitting closest to Lucas pulled out his phone and showed it
09:44 to him.
09:45 "Mr. Perez, is this what you mean by banning Emma?"
09:50 Lucas furrowed his brows and gaped at the huge shock that was awaiting him on the phone.
09:56 The words plastered across the center of the screen, "Kaleidoscope announces signing a
10:01 contract with Emma Miller.
10:03 H-World takes a blow to their pride and is thrown into an awkward position."
10:09 His eyes widened in disbelief as he grabbed the phones off other people standing nearby.
10:15 They were all displaying the same news about Emma signing on with Kaleidoscope.
10:21 It had only been 10 minutes since H-World had announced their contract termination.
10:27 Kaleidoscope only took a few minutes to turn H-World into the industry's laughingstock.
10:34 Lucas returned the phones to the reporters as his mind turned blank.
10:39 He gawked at all the humiliating and mocking expressions on their faces.
10:44 He had just banned Emma.
10:46 Yet Kaleidoscope had already signed her with them.
10:50 He really thought he could ban Emma?
10:53 People wondered, incredulous.
10:55 What garbage is he talking about?
10:58 Who does he think he is?
11:00 Does H-World even hold any weight in the entertainment industry?
11:05 In that instant, surrounded by reporters, a panicked expression crossed Lucas' face.
11:11 His cheeks turned red as a feeling of shame seeped into every corner of his body.
11:17 How embarrassing.
11:19 The reporters below the stage couldn't help but whisper these words.
11:23 They could all sense his humiliation.
11:27 A while later, Charlotte came out with some bodyguards and pulled Lucas back into the
11:33 office.
11:34 He was in a daze and felt empty inside.
11:38 It wasn't until he moved away from the camera flashes that he leaned against the wall and
11:43 dropped to the floor in a slump.
11:46 He felt defeated and unnerved.
11:49 Charlotte gazed at the man on the floor as her throat burned.
11:53 Are you happy now?
11:56 Rather than simply being knocked down by Kaleidoscope, I feel like they've also just
12:01 stripped me of all my clothes in order to fully humiliate me.
12:06 I feel completely naked.
12:09 I feel like no matter where I go from now on, I'll be a joke in everyone's eyes.
12:15 However, it wasn't just Charlotte.
12:19 Everyone in H-World was feeling the same way.
12:23 Kaleidoscope's hit was too much.
12:26 Lucas's gaze was empty.
12:28 He had no idea what she was saying.
12:31 It wasn't until the sound of her high-heeled shoes disappeared into the distance that he
12:36 wiped his hand across his cheek and wrapped his arms around his knees.
12:41 He didn't know how he was going to face everyone.
12:46 H-World Entertainment's interviews had ended, but Kaleidoscope's had just begun.
12:52 Lucas wanted to give H-World a bit of time to catch their breaths.
12:56 He didn't want Lucas to suffer his second hit so quickly.
13:01 Standing on the stage, he was in an extremely good mood.
13:06 He wondered whether Emma had seen the move he had just made against Lucas.
13:11 Even through the TV screen, he could feel the awkward atmosphere surrounding the jerk.
13:17 However, by signing on Emma at a time like this, Kaleidoscope had to have the ability
13:24 to deal with all the negative rumors that were circulating around her.
13:29 The reporters began attacking Luis with questions.
13:32 "That model's been called a murderer.
13:35 Why would Kaleidoscope sign someone like that?"
13:38 "Sir, is Kaleidoscope joking with all of us?
13:41 It's not April Fool's Day."
13:43 "Why would we accept garbage like Emma?"
13:47 they asked themselves.
13:48 "If it was April Fool's Day, does that mean I'm allowed to play tricks on the media?
13:54 I'll keep that in mind."
13:56 The reason why Luis held the position of artist director in Kaleidoscope was because he was
14:02 extremely competent at dealing with reporters.
14:06 His PR was flawless, and his promotional methods were excellent.
14:12 Why did Kaleidoscope decide to sign Emma on at a time like this?
14:17 Luis looked at the reporter as the corners of his lips curved upward.
14:22 He gave a gentle laugh.
14:24 "It seems like I've already given you an answer.
14:28 Each reporter only gets one chance at asking a question.
14:31 When you first came in, I warned all of you to use this opportunity wisely."
14:37 The reporter's face turned pale.
14:39 He couldn't believe that he wasted his only question asking whether Kaleidoscope had been
14:44 joking.
14:46 The reporters who followed afterwards learned from his example.
14:50 They were far more vigilant.
14:52 "Emma's a murderer.
14:54 Why did Kaleidoscope sign her?"
14:57 Hearing this, Luis looked at the reporter's name tag and responded in a cold tone.
15:03 A reporter is a person who distributes news to the public in a timely, honest, effective,
15:09 objective, and fair manner.
15:12 I'm sure you can find the definition online.
15:15 So which of these have you done?
15:18 The reporter covered his name badge in shame and turned away.
15:21 "Why did you announce Emma signing with Kaleidoscope at a time like this?
15:26 If not now, when do you think would be more appropriate?"
15:30 Luis asked in response.
15:32 "At least at a time when the entire nation no longer hates her.
15:37 By that time, she may no longer be able to join Kaleidoscope.
15:42 She may have already died a hundred unjustly deaths in the hands of heartless reporters
15:47 and keyboard warriors who only know how to follow the crowd."
15:52 He answered sharply.
15:54 Each word cut deep enough to make the reporters bleed.
15:58 "Isn't Kaleidoscope afraid of having their reputation damaged because of her?
16:03 She has so many haters.
16:06 Getting on the good side of these haters has never been something Kaleidoscope cared about.
16:11 The reason is simple.
16:13 Their hearts are far too corrupt.
16:15 While they judge others for repulsive reasons, they haven't even considered taking a look
16:21 at themselves.
16:23 While they are denying others hard work, they haven't considered that it may be because
16:28 they themselves haven't worked hard that they assume other people's effort comes from some
16:33 kind of shady or indecent dealings.
16:37 So you want to boycott Emma?
16:39 But do any of you have the guts to do it using your real name?"
16:43 "But the incident between Emma and Margo is real," a reporter retorted.
17:01 Part 211 Boss You Around
17:06 The reporter continued, "There are also already a large number of haters who are denouncing
17:12 H-World.
17:13 The most extreme ones are even attacking Kaleidoscope."
17:17 Luis was silent for a few moments.
17:20 Everyone assumed that he was surprised by this outcome.
17:24 Then he replied, "At 10 tomorrow morning, Kaleidoscope will hold an official contract
17:29 signing ceremony for Emma.
17:32 She will be present at that time.
17:35 Anti-fans and reporters, if you have any evidence, feel free to bring it along with you and present
17:41 it to everyone.
17:43 We will see if Emma really has committed murder or broken a promise.
17:49 We will discover whether all the trash you guys speak of is true."
17:53 "Kaleidoscope is not H-World.
17:56 We don't run our business based on vague rumors.
17:59 Indecent activity does not exist in our company.
18:03 Also, we won't allow our artists to suffer humiliation openly.
18:09 Since Emma has already signed on with us, we will be open and transparent about everything.
18:16 I ask all the reporters to be on time tomorrow.
18:19 When the time comes, I have even bigger news to reveal."
18:23 Luis had firmly expressed the company's views and powerfully pulled Emma into their territory.
18:31 As long as she was an artist of Kaleidoscope, they would never give up on or abandon her.
18:38 There was no way they would be like H-World and get rid of someone as soon as something
18:43 got stirred up.
18:45 This show of power once again threw a fierce hit at H-World's management and PR.
18:52 The reporters at the scene could clearly sense that Kaleidoscope's protection of Emma was
18:57 not merely empty words.
19:00 The online community continued to insult her, but the intensity decreased.
19:07 Many people doubted Kaleidoscope.
19:09 However, as soon as they thought about their idol or favorite TV personality who came from
19:16 Kaleidoscope, they would subconsciously end up trusting the company and Emma too.
19:23 As for H-World, they had become an outcast in the industry.
19:28 They were far too embarrassing.
19:31 Although competition and fighting was common amongst entertainment agencies, to be defied
19:37 by one within ten minutes of a major decision was not something that happened often.
19:44 Therefore, H-World Entertainment had become the biggest joke in the business.
19:50 A bored fan even turned Lucas' expression into a set of emojis to express his feelings
19:56 towards entertainment news.
19:59 As for the staff at H-World, due to the fear caused by offending Kaleidoscope, they slowly
20:05 started placing their resignation letters on Charlotte's desk, one after another.
20:11 Although H-World hadn't completely fallen apart, they had still suffered a serious blow.
20:17 Compared to Charlotte's recent headliner, this incident was much more serious.
20:24 Only the anti-fans continued to stand up against Emma.
20:28 Since they had an opportunity to release their accumulated anger, there was no way they would
20:33 hold back just because she had signed with Kaleidoscope.
20:38 I wonder what disgusting methods she used to sign with them.
20:42 This annoying cheap model treats other people like dirt.
20:46 By changing agencies, she's merely hiding her shame under a bigger leaf.
20:52 I once thought Kaleidoscope was undeniably pure and clean, but it seems like they too
20:57 were going downhill.
20:59 Otherwise, why would they sign someone like Emma?
21:03 Without us fans, I wonder how much of Kaleidoscope's shares will drop.
21:08 Apparently, there'll be a big revelation tomorrow.
21:11 Let's wait and see how Kaleidoscope tries to clean up after her.
21:16 Meanwhile, Emma was sitting beside Eric as she browsed the news.
21:21 As soon as she saw her and Kaleidoscope being scolded by haters in the same sentence, she
21:27 lifted her head to look at the man beside her, displaying an expression of guilt.
21:34 Eric did not turn his head nor look into her eyes, but he knew what she was thinking.
21:40 You can't possibly believe this is all Kaleidoscope has, right?
21:45 All you need to do tomorrow is dress nicely and make an appearance.
21:50 Louise will handle everything else.
21:53 You still haven't told me who my manager will be.
21:57 Emma put down her laptop and leaned against him.
22:00 The higher-ups are still discussing it, he replied calmly.
22:04 What?
22:05 Don't you trust me?
22:08 I'm a little afraid, she responded honestly.
22:11 Although she had prepared herself mentally, she still didn't feel confident about joining
22:17 Kaleidoscope.
22:18 When she thought about her and Eric's relationship possibly being revealed one day, she wondered
22:24 what other people at the company would think.
22:27 What would the public think, she wondered.
22:31 Knowing she was nervous, Eric stopped what he was doing and gazed into her eyes.
22:36 I never thought I'd still hear the word "afraid" coming from your mouth.
22:42 Think about it.
22:43 Just because you're joining Kaleidoscope, does that mean you're no longer a model?
22:49 Will you no longer be yourself?
22:52 She lowered her head and thought for a moment.
22:55 As she lifted her head to respond, her face flushed red.
23:00 Does that mean from now on, you can boss me around?
23:04 At her words, Eric grinned.
23:08 His happiness was clear on his face.
23:11 I finally have an excuse to officially boss you around.
23:17 You can't go easy on me, he nodded.
23:20 I'll be extra strict with you.
23:23 I know you like to prove yourself worthy.
23:26 So do you feel reassured enough to sign the contract now?
23:31 Luke smiled handsomely as he stood behind the couple.
23:34 He enjoyed watching them work together, side by side.
23:39 Meanwhile, sitting nearby, Lisa sneakily glanced over at him every now and then.
23:45 She felt her mood improving, watching the silly look on his face as he smiled at the
23:51 couple.
23:52 She enjoyed that ridiculous look of his.
23:55 Perhaps Luke could sense the fiery passion coming from her eyes because he lifted his
24:01 head in curiosity.
24:03 She quickly looked away and pretended like nothing has happened as she read through the
24:08 news on her phone.
24:10 The topic of Kaleidoscope signing Emma had completely stirred up the industry.
24:16 When attending events, the company's artists would always get asked about their opinions
24:21 regarding Emma or Kaleidoscope's actions.
24:25 The majority of artists responded with a smile as they expressed their views.
24:29 "Emma has a bad attitude?
24:32 I'm not sure about that.
24:34 We at Kaleidoscope never sign anyone with personality issues.
24:38 So if my fans trust me, then please trust my agency."
24:42 "I love Emma's performances on the runway, especially her long legs.
24:48 Now that we're brothers and sisters of the same company, we'll get a chance to bump into
24:53 each other more often.
24:54 I'm looking forward to it."
24:56 "I've asked my manager privately multiple times to let me go watch her shows.
25:02 I'm speechless as to why the agency took so long to sign her.
25:06 They were too slow."
25:07 "I'm so happy that Emma is joining our family.
25:11 Let's applaud this great news."
25:15 At various events, the artists expressed their anticipation for her addition to their company.
25:21 It was clear that the staff at Kaleidoscope were extremely united.
25:27 They were all well aware of their standpoint and felt confident to share it.
25:33 Although Emma was technically their competitor, they weren't petty about it.
25:38 "I hope the agency can clear her name soon.
25:41 I trust the agency, so I also trust her."
25:45 "What's with all the haters?
25:47 They're the worst.
25:48 I can't wait for the evidence the agency's going to present to everyone.
25:52 I'm looking forward to the contract signing ceremony tomorrow."
25:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
