00:00Episode 261 Lone Player
00:06Kaleidoscope's celebration dinner was extravagant and star-studded. Under luxurious chandeliers,
00:14artists chatted and held wine glasses as the hall resounded with elegant music. The waiters
00:21weaved their way around the guests as they balanced their serving trays. Every now and
00:27then, they would witness famous celebrities exchange glances and gossip about different
00:32agencies. That was because Kaleidoscope's CEO, Eric Roberts, had not yet arrived.
00:41Although Kaleidoscope was usually united, they couldn't help but discussing the incident
00:47concerning Amy. Since they weren't discussing this with outsiders, they didn't see a problem
00:54with it. A couple of female artists were deep in discussion about Amy and Emma. Tonight,
01:01even the winners of Best Actor and Best Actress can't steal the limelight from Amy and Emma.
01:07Hey, whose side are you on? Between the two, I'd pick Emma, because it's obvious that Amy's
01:15heart no longer belongs to Kaleidoscope. I don't even want to associate with her anymore.
01:22From now on, I'm siding with Emma. By the way, have you noticed that Caitlin Roberts
01:28won't be attending tonight? The woman being spoken to looked around and nodded her head.
01:34I just noticed. Why isn't she here? Amy ordered some people to beat her up. From what I've
01:42heard, her injuries are so bad that she can't even get out of bed. That's awful. Meanwhile,
01:51the male artists were also deep in conversation. I have a question I want to ask. Would you
01:57guys choose a woman with a curvy body or long legs? One of them is sexy, while the other
02:04is cool and laid back. Tough decision. You really think long legs has a chance? From
02:11a man's point of view, I think Mr. Roberts will definitely stand by Amy's side. He needs
02:17to protect the internal stability of the agency. I disagree. I don't think Mr. Roberts
02:24is the type that cares what others think. Everyone respectfully shared their opinions
02:30on the matter without insulting any of the parties involved. The Kaleidoscope family
02:36never insulted their own. Amy was the only one to do such a thing. Quick, look! I think
02:44Amy's here.
02:46The warning of Amy's arrival came as a hushed whisper just before she appeared in their
02:51line of sight. She was wearing a long, black, deep V-dress, which was wrapped tightly around
02:59her gorgeous figure. She strutted into the hall like a model, wearing stiletto heels
03:05as the train of her dress dragged across the floor behind her. Her figure was indeed superb.
03:13She knew how to use her gorgeous features to her advantage by wearing clothes that highlighted
03:19her curves. Many of the men couldn't help but react when they saw her saunter in. A
03:26few of them quickly drank the icy cold wine in their hands to cool off the fire burning
03:32inside them. She was pleased with their reactions because, in her own eyes, she ruled the runway.
03:41It was only natural for everyone to be captivated by her. It gave her so much confidence, and
03:49she felt invincible. However, as she scanned her eyes across the hall, she realized Emma
03:56was nowhere to be seen. She wondered, is she too afraid to appear in front of me and battle
04:03it out on the same stage? Everyone knew how beautiful Amy was. Her gorgeous features coupled
04:11with her slightly wild personality made her very intimidating. She had a strong, regal
04:19presence and had enjoyed many years of attention on the runway. She couldn't even think of
04:26another entertainer that she felt was on her level. As a result, she always looked dazzling
04:33and held her head high in confidence.
04:37Hey, Amy's arrived, said one of the artists. I'm so jealous of her figure. I wish I had
04:43her boobs and butt. No wonder they say comparing yourself to other people is unhealthy. It
04:50doesn't matter what Emma shows up wearing. I don't think she'll be able to top this.
04:55You never know. She does have Eric as her manager. If anyone can help her top Amy, it's
05:01him. You're still questioning what's gonna happen? If Mr. Roberts appears tonight as
05:07the CEO of Kaleidoscope, then Emma doesn't stand a chance. He's definitely gonna side
05:13with Amy. The artists in attendance gathered in groups to discuss the heated topics. Their
05:20anxiety was running high as they tried to decide whether Emma would even show up. Is
05:27she coming? How would I know? The celebration dinner continued and guest performers appeared
05:34one after another. Some sang hit songs and others did dance performances. There were
05:42even eye candy actors that simply stood on the stage. Emma must be so afraid that she
05:49decided not to appear. Amy exclaimed amongst the crowd. She wasn't afraid of people hearing
05:57her. Everyone around her was stunned and slightly annoyed by her comment. A little while later,
06:05there was a commotion at the main entrance as Eric finally made his entrance. From the
06:11outfit he was wearing, it was obvious that he was appearing as the CEO of Kaleidoscope.
06:18A few people were disappointed. They had anticipated something else. At that time, Amy's lips
06:26curved upwards into a smile. She knew that there was no way she would lose. Everyone
06:34once again started discussing their thoughts. Amy must be feeling like a winner. I mean,
06:40Emma didn't even show up. Check out the look on Amy's face. Wait, that's not right. The
06:47president bought a woman with him. That, isn't that Emma? Where? The one wearing a business
06:54suit behind him. Everyone began to notice that Emma wasn't wearing anything glamorous
07:01and wasn't making a grand appearance. She simply followed behind Eric dressed in business
07:07attire. But who is Eric going to stand with as the winner tonight? As soon as Amy noticed
07:15Emma, her smile turned stale. She wasn't happy with what she saw. Eric was hinting that Emma
07:22did not come to Kaleidoscope because of her. And just because Amy wanted to compete with
07:28Emma, it didn't mean that Emma was willing to play along. A moment later, the winner
07:35of the Best Actor Award approached him holding a wine glass as he expressed his gratitude.
07:42Just as the actor was about to do a toast with him, Eric glanced at Emma questioningly,
07:48like he was asking her for permission to drink. She was surprised, but she quickly
07:55understood, so she nodded her head. As soon as the actor saw this, he couldn't hold back
08:02his laughter. Mr. Roberts, are you asking Emma for permission? What, is she in control
08:10of how much you drink? Well, when I was her manager, she complained that I was a bit too
08:17direct, so I suggested that we reverse our roles so she can be my manager instead, he
08:25explained as he clinked glasses with the actor. I'd never imagined Emma had the potential
08:31to be a manager. The actor couldn't help but tease. I've never seen you being controlled
08:38by someone else. This is quite a refreshing scene to witness. The actor then looked at
08:44Emma and said, thank you, Emma, for giving me the opportunity to witness this.
09:00So it wasn't odd at all that she managed to attract his attention. However, unbeknownst
09:08to everyone, he'd been involved from the start. A top female actress also approached
09:15Eric. She then turned to Emma, smiled, and said, I really want to raise a glass to you.
09:23Up until that point, Emma had already drunk a fair bit. Normally, her limit was one glass,
09:30and she'd already gone beyond that. Eric looked down at her red cheeks and stopped the actress.
09:37I'll take it, she can't handle anymore. The actress smiled as she clinked her glass against
09:44his. Although she hated the fact that a man like this was taken, she couldn't bring herself
09:50to hate Emma, since she'd seen how much hard work Emma had put in. Naturally, everyone
09:58treated Emma as their junior. Although she wasn't the youngest, for those at the top
10:04of the entertainment industry, she was still slightly lower in rank. Many who had been
10:10in the entertainment industry had to battle and scrap their way to the top, and it wasn't
10:15pretty. Who says I can't handle it, Emma said as she held tightly to Eric's arm. He did
10:23not resist and allowed her to cling to him before leading her to the side to rest. Plenty
10:30of people saw this and started squealing in excitement. It was obvious that they were
10:36partially revealing their relationship. All that was missing was an official announcement.
10:43Of course, everyone believed he was serious with her. Before Emma, he'd never had any
10:49rumors or scandals with another woman. She was the first, the first one to make everyone
10:57jealous.
10:58Hey, did you guys notice the expression on Amy's face? said one of the artists. Let's
11:05not talk about it. When she first arrived, I seriously thought she would win for sure.
11:11Guys, I'm feeling a bit conflicted. We know that Kaleidoscope has a culture where we help
11:18each other. If Amy stays with the company, that's not gonna be easy for me to do. Think
11:25about what happened to Caitlin. I know, right? Kaleidoscope's employees don't all have to
11:32be the best of friends, but we're definitely not okay with going around hurting others.
11:39Amy heard the discussions that were happening around her. The hurtful taunts and ruthless
11:44laughter seemed to all be directed at her. Over the years, she'd done so much for Kaleidoscope
11:51and turned down Star King for them. But what did she get in return? Little Emma, all by
11:59herself was enough to make everyone turn their backs on her. With this thought, Amy suddenly
12:06gathered her courage and walked past everyone straight over to Eric and Emma.
12:13Mr. Roberts, I've been in Kaleidoscope for many years and have never done anything to
12:19hurt the agency. But today, I don't feel like it's the same Kaleidoscope I once knew.
12:25I don't understand. Kaleidoscope has always had high standards, but she... Amy pointed
12:32to Emma, who was sitting next to Eric. What right does she have to join Kaleidoscope?
12:39I'm sure everyone here at Kaleidoscope is bothered by this. After hearing this claim
12:45from Amy, he swept his eyes from her to the people standing behind him. They innocently
12:51shrugged their shoulders, gesturing that the so-called everyone at Kaleidoscope did not
12:58include them. He leaned back on the sofa. His eyes were sharp and contained a sense
13:04of ridicule and contempt.
13:07I'm really happy that you've come to talk to me, he said. It lets me know how threatened
13:14you're feeling about your position.
13:17Don't tell me you aren't being biased towards her, said Amy. We're all from the same agency,
13:24but how come she gets to have you as her personal manager? No artist has ever been given this
13:30kind of special treatment. Why are you treating Emma differently? Many of the people who heard
13:37her spiel admired her bravery. Others felt she was rude and deserved a slap.
13:44Do I need to report to you about who I want to manage? He asked. Don't you think your
13:51actions make it hard for you to convince others? She replied.
13:57Hard to convince others? He asked, directing the question towards the people standing behind
14:03Amy. Everyone responded by shaking their heads.
14:08Sir, that's absolute nonsense, the crowd replied.
14:12Eric, you're being a hypocrite, cried Amy. You've always said that you hate people that
14:18play games, yet you're the one who plays the most games.
14:23Amy, someone yelled, wanting to stop her.
14:27Let her speak, Eric said coldly, waving his hand and gesturing for them not to stop her.
14:34Episode 263 Simply a Famous Model
14:53I've done so much for Kaleidoscope and turned down Star King for so many years.
14:59Even if it's not something to take credit for, I should at least be acknowledged for
15:04my hard work. Instead, my position in Kaleidoscope is below that of a newcomer.
15:12Is this how Kaleidoscope operates? Before Emma arrived, Kaleidoscope had always been
15:19just and fair. Eric, what happened to you?
15:23Amy appeared to have found an outlet to release everything she was unhappy about as she quickly
15:29spoke her mind. The expressions on the faces of everyone present was uneasy. They all knew,
15:38even though he appeared to be unaffected, the hostile vibe emanating from his body could
15:44not be hidden. When he opened his mouth to respond, Emma stretched out her hand and stopped
15:51him. She's just one person. There's no need to get upset. Since I'm your manager today,
16:01let me handle it. He looked deep into her eyes. In his piercing look was also a sense of trust.
16:11Emma was done sitting back and listening. She wasn't just going to stand by and listen to
16:17someone hurl insults at Eric. She slowly stood up. She wasn't wearing high heels,
16:24but her presence completely overshadowed Amy, forcing her to take a few steps back.
16:31What are you planning to do? Amy asked. Are you going to slap me again?
16:37Did you think you would have gotten where you are today without Kaleidoscope? Emma asked in
16:44a cold tone. I also helped get Kaleidoscope to where they are today, said Amy.
16:52You supported Kaleidoscope? Emma burst out laughing before saying,
16:59you think too highly of yourself. Everyone here relied on Kaleidoscope to get where they are
17:06today. Did you think without Kaleidoscope backing you, people would even take you into consideration?
17:15Your ability to handle Star King gives you value in the agency, but it's not hard for Kaleidoscope
17:22to create a second Amy, a third Amy, and even a fourth. There are plenty of people waiting to
17:31join Kaleidoscope. Do you think it's that easy to create an international supermodel? Amy asked
17:39confidently. Yes, it's not easy, but Kaleidoscope has a best actor from the Gold Star Awards
17:48and a best actress from the American Indie Awards. We have celebrities in Hollywood,
17:54New York, and bands that break records every year in sales. Kaleidoscope also owns its own
18:01filming studio and creative agency. With all this, do you still think Kaleidoscope needs your
18:09support? Really? Emma spoke powerfully as she questioned Amy. Everything she said not only
18:18made Amy sound worthless, but also lifted the value of all the stars that Kaleidoscope represented.
18:26Everyone nodded in agreement. They realized this woman, who appeared weak on the surface,
18:33was like a powerful heroine when she spoke up. Amy was speechless for a moment. All she could
18:41do was open her eyes wide in shock, but not a single word came out of her mouth.
18:47After quite some time, she finally laughed. Since you're aware that there are so many amazing
18:55superstars in Kaleidoscope, why would Eric choose to be your manager?
19:02Kaleidoscope's superstars possess a variety of skills and are extraordinarily capable.
19:09Do they need his support? After hearing this praise from Emma, the superstars present felt
19:16their moods uplifted even more. Even if someone had the tiniest discomfort toward Eric becoming
19:23Emma's manager, at that moment they'd no longer felt it was an issue.
19:30So you're admitting that you're not capable enough?
19:34Yes. So why are you fighting with me? Emma asked. In other words, Emma was admitting that she
19:42wasn't very capable. But if Amy was so capable, then there was no reason she would need to devalue
19:50herself to fight against someone below her, unless she had doubts about her own capabilities.
19:58After hearing these words, the people around them suddenly felt confident with Emma's ability to
20:04fight. Every word she said took Amy down a notch, rendering her speechless.
20:12Plus, Mr. Roberts is my manager, Emma continued. If someone were to complain,
20:19then only I would have the right to do so, because we've signed a contract.
20:25What right do you think you have? To you, he's the CEO of Kaleidoscope,
20:31and I'm looking forward to witnessing how the CEO decides to deal with you.
20:37Emma returned to her original spot and sat down beside Eric. His powerful presence was
20:43completely awe-inspiring. Everyone then turned their attention to Eric. Calmly, he announced,
20:53Your brand, CC, has been utilizing Kaleidoscope's designer, hasn't it? I will be taking him back.
21:02Back. Starting today, I don't want to hear of you using any of Kaleidoscope's resources.
21:09I want to see how much you can achieve on your own. I will completely dismiss your team.
21:16However, you can keep your manager. Let's play a game and try freezing you out for a few years.
21:25I want to see if Kaleidoscope's shares will plummet tomorrow because of you.
21:30Everyone was shocked. Although they knew Eric was going to punish Amy, they didn't expect him to be
21:38so straightforward. He actually froze an international supermodel in front of everyone
21:46at Kaleidoscope's celebration dinner. Complaining in front of me? I'll make you return to nothing.
21:55Amy was stunned. Her eyes grew wide and her body stiffened. She'd never imagined he would go this
22:03far. She thought she was more important to Kaleidoscope, but in reality, she was simply a
22:11famous but replaceable model. Even at that point, Eric did not feel it was enough. He turned to Emma
22:21and nudged her forward. Amy has been doubtful of you from the start. For now, I don't need a manager
22:31so you can return to being Emma. Go ahead and battle it out with her. Right here? Emma was
22:39surprised. Right here, in front of everyone. Eric continued in a gentle voice. I believe in you.
22:50Well, what do you want me to do? Eric glanced at Amy and back at Emma before replying,
22:59you simply need to go and get changed. The artists standing behind them were hyped up because of
23:06Eric's suggestion. They all started discussing their thoughts excitedly. Oh god, we're about to
23:14witness a showdown. Mr. Robert should have allowed her to attend as a model from the start.
23:22This is going to be interesting. Amy's strong points are her curves and Emma's are her long
23:29legs. I wonder which one's gonna come out on top. Why do I feel that Eric is doing this on purpose?
23:37Isn't he afraid that Emma will lose? Emma can be just as good as Amy. Of course,
23:44Emma had already promised earlier that she would put up a good fight. So Emma stood up in front of
23:51everyone. With her head held high, she said confidently. Wait here.
