Her good friend, Tasya, mocked her. Emma looked a little embarrassed, but Kevin greeted Tasya with a smile on his face. “So you are a big star. Nice to meet you. You are the main character today!”
Tasya ignored Kevin’s smiling face and walked straight to Emma. There was a hint of mockery in her eyes, “Emma, aren’t you very awesome? Why do you need to hide here and watch?”
The resentment in Tasya’s heart towards her had not dispersed until now. Every time her feelings towards Yoseph deepened a little, her hatred towards Emma would increase a little.
So now, she hated Emma deeply.
Emma averted her gaze and said faintly, “You can look at it however you want. What do you have to do with it?”
She really did not like Tasya’s arrogant attitude. Yes, she admitted that she had gotten out of it and became a very popular female celebrity.
She had already fulfilled her wish, so why would she care which path she took?
Tasya’s eyes flashed a trace of a cold smile. “Yes, of course I don’t care. I just feel that you are getting more and more mixed up. Your glory has already passed. I can finally stand up straight and speak to you.”
Emma’s heart was greatly shocked. Could it be that Tasya had always been competing with her?
What do you mean by finally standing up straight?
“Is that so? I’ve been your good friend for so many years, but I can’t tell that there’s something wrong with your waist. It seems that I am not a very professional friend. Do you need me to give you some medicine?” Emma subconsciously straightened her back a little.
She was about the same height as Tasya but the shoes she wore today were not as tall as hers. Therefore, when she stood up straight, she still felt that she was a level lower than her.
“Only an idiot would be friends with someone like you whose expressions are different, and have knives stabbing into someone’s backs to steal people. Truly terrifying.” Tasya kept mocking her.
Emma laughed and returned the greeting. “Oh, so it turns out that not only is your waist aching, you have also been stupid for so many years. No wonder I felt that you were a little crazy earlier. Tasya, it’s time for you to take your medicine.”
“You. . . Emma, this is the first time I’ve seen you being so eloquent. Hmph, you used to pretend to be so pure, but it turns out that you’ve been deceiving me. In terms of acting skills, you’re not worse than me. Why don’t you become an actor as well?” Tasya was instantly angered by Emma’s black face and immediately ridiculed.
Emma crossed her arms in front of her chest and calmly said. “You are right. My acting skills are not bad. If I want to snatch your rice bowl from you, I am afraid that you will starve to death.”
“What did you say?” Tasya was almost driven crazy by her words.
Emma, a person who did not even step into the main door of acting, actually wanted to compete with her for this bowl of food? It would even make her starve to death. She really did not know where her confidence came from.
Emma disapprovingly snorted, “Tasya, it is better to keep a low profile as a person. You are too arrogant. Be careful that you get into trouble.”
“I do not need you to teach me a lesson, and it is not your turn either. In the past, you thought that you were like a holy mother, persuading me about this and that every day. Could it be that you did not see through me? Did I get annoyed to death?” Tasya was angered by a few words from her, and her face became ferocious.
Emma’s heart suffered another huge blow and injury.
All the words that she used to advise her came from her heart. She did not expect that she would be annoyed to the extreme.
“Yeah, I really regret persuading you. Otherwise, you might have become famous a long time ago. Of course, it might not be because you are famous for being upright, but because your sponsor pressed you down on the streets and stripped you of your reputation.” Since Tasya had trampled on the last bit of her bottom line, Emma would not give her any face.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Emma, be careful with your words. Don’t create something out of nothing.” Tasya immediately went crazy with anger.
Not to mention that there were so many assistants behind her, even the staff who were walking back and forth perked up their ears to listen to them speak.
But Emma actually dared to expose her black material. This was simply unbearable for Tasya.
Emma also knew that her words just now were somewhat immoral. No matter how Tasya suppressed her, for the sake of her past relationship, she also did not want to ruin the achievements that she had painstakingly obtained.
“Did I say anything? I don’t even remember. Do you want to repeat it for me to hear?” Emma immediately used her ability to play dumb. She shrugged her shoulders and asked with a smile.
How would Tasya dare to repeat it? She immediately snorted angrily and did not dare to play verbal games with Emma anymore.
She thought that she could gain the upper hand. Moreover, she had always felt that Emma was foolish and stupid. She would not even reply when she scolded her.
But at this moment, she truly understood the evil side of Emma. It turned out that her foolish actions were all faked.
The real her, even when she opened her mouth, she was actually so vicious.
Tasya secretly snorted. She must find a way to shut Emma’s mouth. Otherwise, if she were to reveal all those shady things that she did not want to see in the past, she was afraid that her career as a superstar would be dark and lightless.
After Tasya left, Kevin sighed with emotion, “Once a person becomes famous, they will reveal their true nature. Emma, I’m afraid only you would dare to say a few words to her.”
Emma had always been idle and seldom heard those gossips. Therefore, although she worked in Civada, she was not very clear about the internal strife within Civada. Of course, she was the center of the conversation. Many colleagues only respected her and did not dare to gossip in front of her.
“Why do you say that?” Emma was very surprised. She felt that Tasya should not be arrogant to the point of looking down on others.
“Don’t you know? A while ago, there was a small celebrity on the seventh or eighth line. She attended a banquet with Tasya because she did not know Tasya’s style of dressing. She accidentally cheated on her at the banquet. You know that Tasya hated wearing the same dress as other women at the same time. What was even more ridiculous was that the upper body of that little celebrity was better than Tasya’s. She had a well-developed body, and Tasya had more temperament. However, a man’s gaze was so superficial, as if he had praised that little celebrity a few more times. She had provoked Tasya, but she did not know where she got the ability to do so. She directly chased that little star out of Civada.” Kevin told Emma the reason for the incident and Emma opened her mouth wide in surprise.
Strange, when did Tasya’s background become so tough? Who was supporting her behind her back to be so arrogant?
Emma knitted her brows and did not seem to understand.
“I heard. . . President Yoseph was helping her from behind.” Kevin said in a low voice.
“Yoseph? That’s not possible.” Emma was stunned again. Didn’t Yoseph say that he didn’t like Tasya? Why did he suddenly become her strong backer?
At this moment, a group of people suddenly gathered at the entrance of Civada. Leading them were two young and handsome men. They were Archie and Yoseph. Surrounded by a group of higher ups, they walked towards the main hall.
More than twenty bodyguards immediately blocked the reporters and reminded them, “Sorry, no photos are allowed!”
All the reporters seemed to know what to do and put down their cameras. Archie and Yoseph smiled as they passed through the red carpet and walked towards Civada’s elevator.
“President Archie, President Yoseph, might be here to participate in the ribbon cutting ceremony.” Kevin said in a low voice and praised, “Sigh, at the same age, look at him. He is really the king of the pyramid. Poor me.”
Emma heard Kevin’s bitter self-pity and immediately burst into laughter, “Director Kevin, you are still complaining. How can people like us, who struggle at the bottom of the pyramid, live?”
“Emma, you are still at the bottom?” Kevin smiled helplessly. “I’m afraid that once you turn around, you will be the winner of their lives.”
Emma’s eyes fell upon Archie. His steps were calm, charming, and high-spirited, giving people the feeling that he was as dazzling as the sun.
“I also don’t know if I can still stand by his side in this lifetime.” Although it was such a close distance, it also seemed to be very far away, so far that she couldn’t touch him.
“Don’t be angry, I believe that President Archie really loves you.” Kevin comforted her and encouraged her.
“True love can’t beat you. It’s the obstruction of your loved ones, Director Kevin. Do you have someone you love? If you love each other so much but can’t be together. . . ”
“Emma, I understand your feelings!” Kevin immediately looked sad. “I’m in a foreign relationship. That guy of mine. . . Is studying abroad. I don’t know when he will come back to work.”
Emma was stunned and immediately apologized, “I’m sorry. Did I bring up your sadness?”
“It’s fine. I am already used to this kind of distance. Sometimes, I really want to be ruthless and make a scene with him, but every time I do, my heart turns soft.” Kevin smiled bitterly.
Emma felt the same way. Love was like this.
Archie didn’t know if it was because he felt the pair of clear and affectionate eyes from the railing on the second floor, but he slightly raised his head.
Their gazes instantly intertwined.
Emma’s heart trembled slightly, as if she was a thief. She was peeking at him, but was caught on the spot.
Her small face heated up for no reason. Emma immediately pretended to turn her head to chat with Kevin.
The tall and imposing figure on the red carpet downstairs paused for a moment.
This damn little thing actually dared to ignore him?
Emma chatted with Kevin about work at night as she secretly sneaked a peek at Archie.
She discovered that the man was actually standing there and not leaving. His gaze was filled with electricity as it locked onto her.
Her heart instantly panicked. Emma felt that she was a little embarrassed standing there.
This kind of flustered feeling was actually addicting.
When Emma went to take a look again, the man was already gone.
Emma suddenly felt a sense of loss.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang with a message notification.
“Come to the 2nd meeting room! Now!”
