Pampered By Billionaires After Betrayal
Emily refused again, "No need, he will tell me himself." Nathan suddenly let out a mocking laugh, "Emily, do you really trust him that much?" "He's my man, the father of my child," Emily said. "You need to face reality. You're only obsessed with me. You don't really like me..." "I do like you! Emily, I do like you!" Nathan suddenly rushed over, grabbing her shoulders, agitated. "Why don't you believe me? What do I have to do to make you believe?" Emily struggled, "You don’t need to do anything. We're really, really over." "Impossible," Nathan said coldly. "As long as we’re not divorced, you’re still my wife, and you will come back to me eventually." Ring-ring— Emily's phone rang. Her phone was casually tossed on the living room sofa by Nathan. Emily looked at him. "Can I answer the phone first?" Nathan stared at her for a long moment, finally releasing her. Emily quickly hid the small knife up her sleeve and slipped out to answer the phone. "Hello?" "Hello, is this Emily?" It was a strange woman’s voice. "Yes, this is she. Who is this?" "Oh, hi, we met backstage at Lucas's concert. I’m Lucas's manager, Amanda." Emily frowned. She knew Amanda. Olivia had mentioned her several times. Amanda was a well-known manager at Starlight Entertainment. She was very capable and had a rather strict style. On the day of the concert, Emily had seen Amanda scolding an intern quite harshly. She wasn’t someone who lost her temper without reason; she had her strict standards, which was why she had managed so many successful stars. But Emily hadn’t expected Amanda to call her."Are you unable to reach Olivia? Don’t worry, I’ll help you find her." "No, no, Olivia is at work. I got your number from her," Amanda said, sounding very polite and even a bit pleading. "Emily, I hope it’s not too sudden, but I’d like to talk to you. Are you free now?" Emily was more than eager to get rid of Nathan! "Sure, I’m available now. Where shall we meet?" "Olivia mentioned that you’re pregnant and I shouldn’t tire yourself out, so I’ve come to your hotel. Don’t worry, I won’t share your address with anyone. I just want to talk face-to-face." Emily walked to the door and looked through the peephole. A well-dressed woman stood outside, holding a phone, waiting for her response. Emily opened the door for her. Amanda flashed a big smile, "Hello." "Hello, please come in." Emily let her in. Amanda entered and immediately saw Nathan standing behind Emily. She clearly didn’t expect to see him there. Emily and Nathan are together in a hotel room. This is crazy. "Mr. Reed...?" Amanda quickly regained her composure, even joking, "I didn’t know you two knew each other." Emily invited her to sit down, speaking warmly, "Mr. Reed is about to become my brother-in-law. His fiancée is my cousin." Amanda nodded in realization. "Oh, I see. Congratulations, Mr. Reed." Emily smiled without speaking, glancing at Nathan, who was looking down, lost in thought. "Mr. Reed, I know the date of your wedding. I’ll be sure to attend. Thank you for the invitation. Are you leaving now?" She was urging him to leave. Nathan blinked. He had met Amanda before.Emily’s explanation annoyed him, but given that Amanda is someone with extensive media connections, he thought it best to avoid trouble. Nathan said, "Alright, I’ll go now." Emily didn’t respond, and Amanda politely said. "Goodbye." When Amanda turned, she clearly noticed Emily's sigh of relief. Amanda's eyes twinkled with curiosity, sensing something was amiss, but respecting personal privacy, she didn't pry. "Amanda, would you like something to drink?" Amanda smiled and shook her head, sitting on the sofa. "No, thank you." Emily nodded. "What brings you here today?" "Oh," Amanda seemed a bit embarrassed. "It’s like this: the makeup you did for Lucas at the concert suited him perfectly. But I’ve hired several makeup artists since then, and none of them could replicate the same style. So, I was wondering if you’d join our company as Lucas's exclusive makeup artist? Of course, I’ll pay you a higher salary." Emily suspected Olivia was behind this. Currently, she worked as a makeup artist for Jackson's company, but car shows weren’t a daily event. When there were no shows, she had no income. If she became Lucas's makeup artist, she could work with Olivia and earn money—a win-win situation. However... "Amanda, thank you for the offer, but you know I’m pregnant..." "I’ve considered that. Lucas has a dedicated makeup van, which is a camper van where you can rest. While he performs, you can rest in the van. Anything you need, just let me know. I’m really at my wits' end; the fans are very particular about Lucas’s look. If his makeup doesn’t meet their expectations, they’ll be disappointed. Please, feel free to let me know any other requirements you have." Honestly, Emily was tempted. Working at Starlight Entertainment would be a respectable job. Allen Parker was friends with Mr. Satan, and Olivia was her colleague. She would surely be happy working there."Can you give me some time? I need to discuss it with my boyfriend."
