00:00 Episode 179 Do You Want Others To Know?
00:06 After listening to Emma's words, the host could sense something was not right.
00:12 Why would the CEO of an agency want to surprise a mere assistant, they thought?
00:19 And what reason does she have to hold onto her family member, resulting in the police
00:24 being contacted?
00:26 It was obvious that Charlotte was doing something dirty to control Emma.
00:31 After all, the hosts had been in the industry for a long time, and they'd learned how
00:36 to see through a lot of hidden messages.
00:40 When Emma told the story, they could already tell that she was secretly ordering Charlotte
00:45 to hand over her assistant's grandfather.
00:49 This smart woman used the gentlest possible method to force someone to do something that
00:55 they can't refuse.
00:58 Of course, those were all rumors.
01:01 Now that you've clarified it for us, we can focus on the next question.
01:05 "Emma, you need to keep up with us."
01:09 After a relatively serious question, here comes another relaxed one.
01:13 "Every time you say it's relaxed, it's not really true," Emma joked.
01:20 The host chuckled, picking up the question board and flipping it.
01:24 It was a photo of Emma and Eric's LM commercial.
01:28 Regarding this "man with a dreamy bag," as he's being referred to, isn't it about
01:33 time that you gave us an answer?
01:36 All the beautiful girls in this studio have been waiting anxiously to find out who he
01:40 is.
01:42 Emma covered her mouth shyly as she helplessly hesitated.
01:47 "Umm…"
01:49 Did you think you could avoid this question?
01:51 "Quick, tell us who it is!
01:54 Let us see his face!"
01:56 The host encouraged, cheekily, playing along with her.
02:00 Emma's head hurt a little.
02:02 Then she asked her fans softly, "What should I do?
02:06 Do you guys really want to know?"
02:09 Her fans in the audience nodded their heads enthusiastically.
02:13 Okay, Emma was finally ready to speak up.
02:19 However, this one simple word made Richard's heart almost stop.
02:24 Meanwhile, Eric's attention was focused on the conversation.
02:28 "I don't think it's right for me to reveal his name directly."
02:33 "How about this?
02:35 I'll give him a phone call right now, and we can ask him if he'd be willing to give
02:39 us his name.
02:40 What do you guys think?
02:43 If he refuses, then you can't continue to make things difficult for me."
02:48 Emma smiled as she pulled out her phone and waved it at the audience.
02:52 "Yes!"
02:53 The fans replied in sync.
02:56 "So you're going to make a phone call live in the studio?"
03:00 The host had never seen such a direct model.
03:04 She faced their questions head on and did not try to hide it at all.
03:09 "Yes.
03:10 Otherwise, I think I'm going to have dreams about my fans chasing me to death.
03:16 I'm a little scared."
03:18 As she spoke, she searched for the number she had prepared earlier and made the phone
03:23 call in front of everyone.
03:26 On the other end of the line, Eric was sitting in his car, listening to the live broadcast.
03:32 Seeing Emma's name pop up on the caller ID, he deepened his voice and tried his best to
03:38 sound different to how he had when Emma called him at the Brooklyn City Center.
03:44 "Hello."
03:46 His voice was extremely deep and mellow, sounding extra charming and attractive.
03:52 The studio erupted in a high-pitched scream.
03:56 Emma placed her finger to her lips, gesturing them to hush before speaking.
04:02 "It's Emma Miller.
04:03 You see, after the commercial we filmed together, the entire nation has been curious to know
04:10 who you are.
04:11 Are you willing to reveal your identity to everyone?"
04:16 On the other end of the phone, Eric was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you want others
04:24 to know who I am?"
04:27 With this question, the studio once again erupted in a loud shriek.
04:32 His tone was unclear.
04:34 "Yes, I do.
04:37 I don't want my fans to chase me to death," Emma replied calmly.
04:42 In actual fact, she hadn't told Eric about this beforehand because she wanted to let
04:48 him make the final decision.
04:51 If he decided to reveal everything, she wouldn't avoid telling the truth.
04:57 "Really?"
04:58 "You two better stop with your vague conversation and get to the point."
05:04 The host interrupted their conversation.
05:07 They'd been teasing everyone too much.
05:10 "Quickly, decide whether you'll make the revelation or not."
05:15 Emma thought that Eric wanted to divulge everything.
05:18 However, he didn't respond the way she had expected.
05:23 "I've decided not to reveal my identity," he said straightforwardly.
05:29 "I'm sorry.
05:31 I don't want my private life to be affected."
05:35 Although he wanted so badly to tell everyone that he was Emma's husband and the CEO of
05:42 Kaleidoscope, when actually given the option, he had to turn it down.
05:48 His heart ached for Emma.
05:50 She'd put in so much effort up to this point.
05:54 He knew this wouldn't be what she truly wanted deep down.
05:59 She wanted to be on the same level as him and shine in glory.
06:05 During his response, not only did the fans feel disappointed, they also found themselves
06:11 fantasizing about him even more.
06:14 "Emma and I simply collaborated for this one commercial.
06:18 I'm already married.
06:20 I hope everyone can stop making things difficult for her."
06:25 Since he had already given his answer, the host didn't continue pressuring him.
06:31 They instead asked him for one simple request.
06:35 "Can you tell us what you think of Emma?
06:38 Does she have any habits or hobbies that are out of the ordinary?"
06:43 Emma maintained her smile.
06:44 However, she was a little nervous after hearing the host ask this question.
06:49 "She is very honest.
06:53 As for hobbies, I can't say anything or else I might get beaten up later."
06:58 The audience burst out into laughter.
07:02 Soon Emma hung up the phone, and the host requested, "Use one phrase to describe the
07:07 relationship between you and the man with the dreamy bag."
07:11 A lifelong confidant.
07:14 She revealed one aspect of her and Eric's relationship.
07:18 There was no one else in this world who understood her or loved her more.
07:24 "Great, although we didn't find out the true identity of the man with the dreamy bag, at
07:31 least everyone had the opportunity to listen to his attractive voice," the host declared.
07:37 "I hope everyone can respect his decision.
07:40 Also, I have great news to announce to everyone.
07:44 LM's completed commercial will be officially released next Monday.
07:50 We will all get a chance to savor him once again."
07:55 The entire interview ran for exactly 45 minutes.
07:59 Apart from a few intense questions, the host asked Emma about her life and aspirations.
08:06 As usual, she dealt with these questions well, leaving everyone with a really good impression
08:12 of her.
08:13 By the time the program wrapped up, it was already 10 at night.
08:18 Under Richard's protection, Emma was ready to leave the studio.
08:23 At that moment, one of the hosts called out to her to say a few words before she left.
08:29 "I've seen many relatives of assistants being accidentally taken before, but I've never seen
08:35 anyone flip the situation around and force their return the way you did.
08:41 Although you've managed to get him back, your road ahead will be more and more difficult."
08:46 "I'm aware." she knew what was going on.
08:50 "It's rare to see someone as calm as you."
08:54 The host pulled out a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.
08:58 "What you need now is a worldwide platform.
09:02 I'm familiar with a few international designers.
09:05 If you want to appear on the global stage, give me a call."
09:10 Though she had remedied the situation in time, Emma was well aware that, after she slapped
09:16 Cheryl and used Eric's name, Charlotte could use this incident to cause a storm.
09:23 However, since she'd been brave enough to challenge Charlotte in public, there was nothing
09:29 else she could possibly be afraid of.
09:39 She was immediately pulled into a warm embrace as a pair of lips pressed down against hers.
09:46 Emma adjusted to the sudden move and enjoyed the familiar warmth of Eric's body.
09:52 She relaxed her body and returned his passionate kiss.
09:56 It wasn't until the couple felt breathless that he finally let her go.
10:02 He rubbed the tip of his nose against hers and mumbled in a sexy voice, "This is the
10:08 last time.
10:10 If you do this again, I'll definitely tell the whole world you're my woman."
10:17 She grabbed his handsome face and smiled.
10:19 "Whether you say it or not," she replied, "I'm still your woman.
10:25 From head to toe, I am completely yours."
10:30 He reluctantly let her go and started the car.
10:34 "Tomorrow," he said, "Kaleidoscope will release a statement explaining the incident at the
10:40 Brooklyn City Center.
10:42 You don't need to worry about it."
10:45 "Of course I won't worry," she said, "but I have a feeling that Charlotte won't be convinced
10:51 by Luke and Lisa's relationship.
10:54 After all, when Lisa's grandfather was captured, Lisa didn't mention Luke at all.
11:00 Plus, I took the risk to call you tonight and gave you the chance to admit to being
11:06 my husband.
11:08 Though you didn't take the opportunity, someone else may have noticed that your voice at Brooklyn
11:13 City Center was very similar to the one on Talkmaster."
11:17 "Are you blaming me?" he said, laughing.
11:22 "Uh-huh, I am," she replied.
11:25 "I already prepared myself mentally to admit to the whole world that you're my husband."
11:31 "You weren't completely prepared.
11:35 You knew I wouldn't do it," he said.
11:38 He looked into her eyes and saw through to her heart.
11:42 "But I'm still very happy.
11:45 My wife, who seems so aloof to the world, finally feels the pride that comes from showing
11:51 off her husband.
11:53 Sorry I didn't let you become the hottest topic overnight, Mrs. Roberts."
11:59 Emma smiled slightly as she leaned her head on his shoulder.
12:03 "I want to turn you into a part of the audience," she said.
12:08 "And do you know what I want to say to the audience?
12:13 Eric belongs to me.
12:15 I adore him and love him and want to understand him and take care of him for the rest of my
12:22 life.
12:23 Don't any of you ever dream about being with him?"
12:27 He turned his head and gazed into her eyes as he drove.
12:32 Her amber eyes glowed under the dim streetlights.
12:36 She had never thought of herself as the weak one in the relationship, and she'd never expected
12:42 to be spoiled by him.
12:44 She simply loved him the way he loved her.
12:48 Even if she had to exhaust herself, she would not hesitate to love him and care for him.
12:55 In his 32 years, this was the first time he'd ever let someone spoil him.
13:02 "Emma's going around acting all ambiguous," Lucas said as he and Charlotte watched her
13:08 interview on Talkmaster repeatedly.
13:11 "Not long ago, we found out she had someone hidden at home, and now she's involved with
13:17 this married man.
13:19 But she never admitted to being in a relationship."
13:24 Charlotte stood beside the window and looked outside, her expression a little dark.
13:29 "Too bad we don't have any evidence," she said.
13:33 "She is, after all, H-World's artist.
13:37 If we follow her to get photographic evidence, we won't need to wait for the reporters to
13:42 discover something.
13:43 If she has something to hide, we'll eventually get a photo of it."
13:48 In that case, she continued, "Right now we have two leads to follow.
13:54 First, we need to find out if Lisa and Luke's relationship is real, and if Emma has anything
14:00 to do with Kaleidoscope.
14:03 Second, we need to uncover the identity of Emma's man and expose their relationship.
14:10 Until this time, she's denied having a boyfriend, but it turns out her personal life is a real
14:16 mess.
14:17 Lucas, give the opening of the J.K.
14:20 Show at the London Fashion Week to her.
14:24 Only when she lets her guard down will we have the opportunity to take advantage of
14:28 her."
14:29 "If nothing had happened to Cheryl, the show would have been hers," Lucas sighed regretfully.
14:34 "Tomorrow, I'll find some time to visit her."
14:38 Charlotte's lips twitched.
14:40 She was about to say something, but at that moment, she received a phone call from Richard.
14:46 When Charlotte picked up the phone, Richard said just one sentence, "Miss Garcia, we're
14:52 coming to pick up Lisa's grandfather.
14:54 You don't need to take care of him anymore."
14:58 Charlotte scoffed as she hung up the phone and told Lucas, "Go release him."
15:04 Go release him?
15:06 These three words were enough to express Charlotte's extreme contempt and anger.
15:13 But Lucas began, "Emma's already taken things this far," Charlotte said, cutting him off.
15:19 "Can I really refuse?"
15:21 "I'm the mighty CEO of H-World," she thought.
15:26 "Yet a mere model is making me compromise and suffer."
15:32 Lucas looked at her with a dark expression as he turned to leave the office.
15:37 He then drove home to retrieve William.
15:40 When he found the old man, Lucas told him, "For the sake of fame and fortune, your granddaughter
15:46 is selling her body and has become someone's mistress.
15:50 You'd better look out for her and persuade her not to go down the wrong path."
15:55 William was so angry, his face turned pale.
15:59 A few minutes later, he and Lucas arrived at H-World Entertainment.
16:04 Emma, Richard, and Lisa were sitting in the waiting room.
16:08 Their eyes met Lucas's as he coldly said, "I brought him back without a single hair
16:14 out of place."
16:15 "How does Miss Garcia feel about this?"
16:18 Emma asked.
16:19 "How do you think?" he shot back.
16:23 "Don't step over the line again," she replied.
16:27 Although Lucas wasn't pleased, he had no insults to throw back at her.
16:33 So he said, "Get ready to go to London and walk the opening of the J.K.
16:37 Fashion Show.
16:38 You've been lacking international exposure, but now that you've succeeded in getting
16:43 rid of Cheryl, all the best work will be split between you and Hillary."
16:49 Emma thought he sounded a bit sarcastic.
16:51 "Why would Charlotte want to give me the best work?" she thought.
16:57 "I'll follow up on this," Richard told him.
17:01 Lucas scoffed before turning around and leaving.
17:05 Emma watched as he left and then turned to Richard.
17:08 "Although I can shake up Charlotte's anger, I can't shake up her foundation," she said.
17:15 "Well, at least you destroyed Cheryl," he replied.
17:18 "H-World will need a few years to train another model.
17:22 It won't be easy for them."
17:24 "Then why is Charlotte being so generous and putting me on an international runway?"
17:29 she asked.
17:30 "It's definitely not because she wants you to succeed," he said.
17:36 He no longer thought of Charlotte as a friend.
17:39 Emma turned and looked at him without saying a word.
17:43 Meanwhile, Lisa stood up to embrace her only living relative.
17:48 "Grandfather," she said.
17:50 "Are you okay?"
17:52 William was stunned for a moment.
17:55 Then he pushed her away and gave her a sad and complex look.
18:00 "Lisa," he said.
18:02 "I need to talk to you in private."
18:05 "Let's go, then," said Richard.
18:07 "I'll take all of you home."
18:10 The four of them left the building and got into Richard's van.
18:14 Because Tribeca was nearby, Emma was dropped off first to get some rest.
18:19 Then when the van arrived at Lisa's home, Luke was standing outside.
18:25 It looked like he'd been waiting for her to return.
18:36 EPISODE 181 THE BIG REVEAL
18:41 When he saw Luke, William was immediately reminded of what Lucas had told him.
18:47 He was not pleased as he glared at Luke and said, "Young man, don't you think it's
18:53 inappropriate for you to be waiting outside my granddaughter's home in the middle of
18:58 the night?"
19:00 Luke didn't understand why William was being hostile to him, so he immediately explained,
19:06 "I was told that Lisa had picked you up, so I wanted to see if you needed help with
19:12 anything."
19:13 "No need," William replied.
19:16 "Please leave."
19:18 Lisa smiled at Luke awkwardly.
19:20 She didn't know what was wrong with her grandfather, either.
19:25 Luke couldn't stick around any longer, so he politely said, "Good night," and disappeared
19:31 from their sight.
19:33 "Lisa," William said, "tell me honestly, are you in a relationship with this man?"
19:40 "Grandfather, what are you talking about?" she asked.
19:45 "Mr. Perez told me you're somebody's mistress," he scolded.
19:49 "Don't ever see that man again."
19:53 Lisa was in shock.
19:55 Then she began to feel a little angry.
19:58 She hadn't expected Lucas to be this despicable.
20:02 "And about your boss, Emma," William continued, "Miss Garcia is such a lovely woman.
20:10 Why are you guys bullying her and going against her wishes?"
20:15 "Grandfather," Lisa cried, "don't you know Charlotte was holding you hostage?
20:21 She wanted to use you to threaten Emma.
20:24 Emma was the one who got you out of there."
20:27 "Hostage?" he said.
20:29 "I think there must be something wrong with your brain.
20:33 Miss Garcia took good care of me, gave me good food and drinks, even took me out to
20:39 fun places.
20:40 It's nothing like you think."
20:43 Lisa was speechless.
20:45 She wasn't sure how to explain these scheming tactics of the entertainment industry to her
20:50 grandfather.
20:52 She felt a bit helpless.
20:55 He was too easy for them to manipulate, she thought.
20:59 And now he's using their lies to hurt his own granddaughter.
21:05 After William went to bed, Lisa gave Luke a call to apologize.
21:10 "I'm so sorry my grandfather was being rude today," she said.
21:15 "After Charlotte and Lucas locked him away for a few days and fed him lies, he's being
21:21 critical of me as well."
21:22 "As long as he's okay," Luke replied.
21:26 He sounded unfazed.
21:27 "I'm in the middle of a game right now.
21:31 You should go get some rest."
21:32 "Okay.
21:33 Good night.
21:34 I'll see you later."
21:35 "Good night," she said.
21:37 Luke's casual response made her feel a bit uneasy.
21:40 "But why should it bother me?" she thought.
21:43 "It's not like he would ever have feelings for me."
21:48 After hanging up the phone, Luke was also feeling a bit uneasy.
21:53 He couldn't say that he wasn't affected by William's hostility.
21:58 He'd only tried to be nice, but now a big misunderstanding had come of it.
22:04 His heart felt a little strange.
22:06 It was different than other times he had been upset.
22:10 It was a cold winter's night.
22:13 After taking a shower, Emma threw herself into Eric's warm embrace.
22:18 As she leaned back and used his arm as a pillow, she said, "Charlotte isn't normally like this.
22:26 Why would she give me an international show?
22:29 I thought she was dying to tear me apart.
22:32 J.K.'s show is very tempting to me, though."
22:37 He hugged her and wrapped his strong legs around her gentle body, trapping her completely
22:43 in his embrace.
22:44 "If she wants to give it to you, then take it," he replied.
22:50 He knew no matter what Charlotte did, she would be pushing Emma towards Kaleidoscope.
22:57 Of course, Emma was also aware of this.
23:00 "In that case," she said, "do you want to come with me to London?"
23:05 "When is it?" he asked.
23:08 She thought for a moment and then said, "We should be leaving next Wednesday."
23:13 "It's almost the end of the year," he said, "so there will be a lot of award ceremonies
23:19 and events coming up."
23:21 "It's okay if you can't make it," she replied softly.
23:26 "To be honest, every time we've gone overseas, you've had to prepare for it well in advance.
23:34 It's been making my heart ache.
23:36 I'll only be in London for a week.
23:39 While I'm there, just stay in New York and don't work too hard."
23:44 Eric did not respond, but that didn't mean he didn't have his own thoughts on the matter.
23:50 "If I don't go," he thought, "what are Charlotte's reporters going to take photos of?
23:57 Nothing."
23:58 The next morning, the biggest newspaper in the city published an article explaining everything
24:04 that had happened in Brooklyn City Center.
24:08 With Kaleidoscope's guidance, the media placed all the focus on Cheryl bullying Lisa.
24:14 They focused on how she had schemed against her, slapped her, humiliated her, and made
24:21 her kneel before her.
24:23 The entire incident was depicted vividly in the article.
24:28 It explained that because of all this, Emma had decided to retaliate.
24:34 The most startling revelation came from Kaleidoscope.
24:38 The company exposed that Lisa was the fiancé to Eric's assistant, Luke.
24:45 That's why Luke had come to the rescue.
24:48 The company also stated that Emma and Eric had no special relationship to each other.
24:54 They were merely friends and didn't need to provide any further explanation.
25:00 After Kaleidoscope stepped out to protect its staff and make its statement, readers
25:06 were quick to make their own judgments.
25:09 As for the brand that had been affected by Cheryl the night before, its representative
25:15 came forward and announced that the company wasn't happy with her, and because of her
25:20 character, it would be blacklisting her.
25:24 Of course, although most of the online commenters expressed their understanding for Emma's actions,
25:31 a hidden danger had also been created for her.
25:35 "I never imagined the always calm Emma would have this side to her," one comment read.
25:42 "Five slaps in a row?
25:44 How satisfying."
25:46 "Emma must have reached the limit of her tolerance for her to retaliate like this.
25:51 I think she's so cool."
25:54 "I've followed many celebrities and seen those who treat their assistant as a normal
25:59 person, but I've never seen anyone go this far to protect them.
26:04 I don't have much to say, just one word.
26:08 Cool."
26:09 "But in the end, Emma also hit someone," one commenter pointed out.
26:14 "Doesn't this mean she's no different than Cheryl?"
26:17 "You're just saying that because you weren't the one watching your friend get bullied.
26:22 If you were, wouldn't you explode in anger too?"
26:26 "I just don't understand how Emma's assistant ended up as Cheryl's slave.
26:31 This couldn't possibly have happened without a higher-up's permission."
26:35 "Are you guys still talking about that?
26:38 It's Monday and LM's new commercial is online.
26:42 Let's go watch it."
26:44 That same day, the number of viewers who had watched Emma's interview on Talkmaster was
26:50 revealed.
26:51 Her popularity was comparable to some of the most famous actors and actresses.
26:57 As soon as the LM commercial was released, it was a huge hit.
27:03 In one day, it had reached over 10 million views.
27:08 Regardless of everything else, it seemed Emma had a staple standing in New York for the
27:13 time being.
27:15 At least with her growing popularity, there was no need to worry that she would disappear
27:20 from the limelight anytime soon.
27:24 This should have been something for H World Entertainment to celebrate.
27:29 Even though Cheryl had been destroyed by one of her own people, Emma's career was gaining
27:35 momentum.
27:37 At this rate, it was only a matter of time before she surpassed Cheryl in popularity.
27:44 In just three months, Emma had taken down everything in her way and come out on top.
27:51 It shocked many people in the entertainment industry and made many more of them jealous.
27:57 (whooshing)
