Chapter 179 Swallow Up The Pride
The scandal which was spreading quickly went viral on the Internet. Although Emily enjoyed high popularity in Weibo, everyone could see that she was not in a good position in the entertainment circle. Sher didn't give up Emily easily. She used all her resources and means, but the result was still not as expected.
All the contracts were cancelled for the same reason that they did not think Emily's image did not conform to their company.
Emily Bai, who was famous for a while, also lost her luster when she lost Jonas's protection. And her development became worse and worse in the entertainment circle.
There were many discussions about her in private, no matter among the famous stars or new comers.
In a black styled room, a woman in bright colored clothes, immersed in a strange mix with the room. With a smile at the corners of her mouth, Holley stared at the news on the screen.
With the disappearance of heat, Emily had also lost the public sight. Most of the time, people just sneered at Emily. Now, Emily was no different from her.
It was because of the same woman that they became in this way. The smile at the corners of Holley's mouth suddenly turned fierce, as if she had a deep hatred.
"Emily, I have been waiting for this day for a long time," Holley murmured as she looked at Emily's picture in her phone. She had been looking forward to this day since she had first become like this. Emily grew up together with Jonas, but eventually she was also defeated by Melinda.
Now Holley was not as famous as she used to be. She managed to stay in the entertainment circle. As she hadn't gone out for a long time, she was used to the dark atmosphere. When she saw the light outside the room suddenly, she could not help but feel excited.
Although Emily fell down, Emily's home was still the same apartment. When Holley approached the community, she could not help but cover her face with a hat.
She used to have an apartment of her own in such a wealthy neighborhood.
Emily had not received work for a few days. She had been staying at home all the time. She was a bit slovenly, different from what she used to be delicate.
She was wearing a big T-shirt, a loose casual pants, her hair tied up, and she leaned on the sofa to watch the television drama. The sound of the doorbell was too loud for her to react.
She had been in a small social circle before, and now she was in such a situation. How her so-called friends wished that they could have nothing to do with her. That was why no one came to her home to look for her. And her agent and assistant all had the key to her home.
Countless thoughts flashed through Emily's mind in such a short time, but she finally walked to the door.
Seeing a woman with a bucket hat outside the door through the cat's eye, Emily didn't recognize her at first until the woman raised her head with a kind of scaring smile. It was not until then that Emily remembered that this was the model who had hooked up with Jonas.
Suspicious as she was, Emily opened the door. When Holley saw Emily, a sweet smile appeared on her face. She never expected that she herself, who always kept a poker face, would look so intimidating right now.
Even though Emily was a brave woman, she was still shocked by her smile.
"What do you want from me? I remember that we are not familiar with each other,"
Emily said to Holley in a contemptuous tone, crossing her arms and leaning against the door frame.
"In fact, I am quite familiar with you, Miss Bai," Holley said calmly. She did not mind Emily's attitude at all.
However, Emily misunderstood her words. She thought that Holly was so familiar with her because of her fame, which made her feel a little proud for a while.
"If that's why you come to me today, then I think you can go now." Emily pointed to the door with her finger, hinting Holley to leave.
It was pathetic. Emily was not afraid of being photographed by reporters now, but no one came to guard. Otherwise, the current scene would definitely make those people excited.
"Miss Bai, we have the same enemy and goal, don't we?"
Holley's smile was bloodthirsty, like a vampire who showed her fangs at any time.
"We? Please don't put me and you in the same position, okay?"
Emily sneered. She was a first class star, but Holley was just an eighteenth class model.
How could two people be equal in status?
Emily's arrogance didn't annoy Holley at all. On the contrary, she was a little excited, as if she found something interesting.
Now, Holley had learned a lot. Looking at Emily's face, she thought that there were plenty of useful things in her.
Emily did not know that she had already been measured by others.
"I know I can't do anything with my identity, so I come to you for cooperation. Sometimes, the enemy of your enemy is a friend, isn't it? Why don't you treat me as a temporary friend, Miss Bai? Let's work together to deal with Melinda,"
Holley said as she tried to cheer Emily up. She had prepared these words for a long time.
As expected, Emily now was willing to consider this once arrogant and now obedient woman.
"I don't think you can do anything." Emily was still disdainful, and the smile on her face made Holley sneer in her heart, but she kept a straight face.
"I have a secret document in my hand, and as long as it's shown, it's absolutely capable of killing Melinda for thousands of times. It's just I don't have the right time to publish it. So, do you want to cooperate with me?"
Holley coaxed her. Obviously, she could feel Emily's excitement and her resentment towards Melinda.
Emily was absolutely full of hatred for Melinda. Perhaps Melinda didn't mess with her, but the relationship between she and Jonas was the biggest offense to her.
Not the arrogance and casualness in Emily's eyes anymore, but the gloom in her eyes was showed. The smile at the corners of her mouth was more like the one of Holley.
"Secret document?" Emily muttered to herself. Thinking that the document that Holley said could let Melinda have a hard time, she was very excited with the surge of hatred. She did not pursue true or false for a time. She directly stepped aside and let Holley in.
The assistant happened to come back from buying a lot of things and saw her standing outside. Curious as she was, she did not dare to ask.
"Go get Miss Huang a cup of tea and wash some fruits." Emily turned around and ordered her assistant to do these things. When Holley looked around this place, she could not help but admire Emily. She should have had all this, but it was Melinda who ruined everything.
Soon after, the assistant put the food on the table obediently.
"I don't know what you like to eat. If there is anything you dislike or avoid, just tell my assistant."
Emily now regarded Holley as her own person, which made her rational to almost announce bankruptcy.
The assistant felt strange as she saw Emily and Holley getting along with each other, but she didn't ask anything. Since Emily asked, she would just serve Holley well.
There was no difference between Emily's attitudes before and after. On the one hand, she was nice to Holley; on the other hand, she was trying to take care of Holley by taking advantage of her less social connections. At last, she made the decision to let her assistant take care of Holley.
Since Kent helped Melinda get rid of the trouble caused by Emily, the company also issued an order that no one would work overtime, which made her feel that life was always happy.
Yet there was one imperfection of it, and that was the man who appeared in their company as long as he was free. The girls in the company became more and more enthusiastic with Jonas.
As time passed, Melinda knew what he was thinking about and she had heard a lot of secret discussions from those people.
"Linda, you friend came again."
When it was time to get off work, the colleague craned her neck to look out of the window. Not surprisingly, she saw the car parked there. Although it was in low-key black, people who knew cars all could tell the value of it.
"I'm not familiar with him."
This was the same sentence again, but Melinda's mood was different every day. She tidied up the desktop, and turned on her mobile phone habitually, only to find new wechat messages, which were sent by Jonas.
"A business partner recommended a nice hot spring. Are you coming with me?"
That question mark was not in accordance with Jonas's character at all. Melinda wondered if the message was typed by the poor William.
Since then, Jonas had become smarter. He had different excuses to meet Melinda every day. Sometimes, she could avoid him, but sometimes she couldn't.
And most of the time, there was Nelson or Queena.
When Melinda went downstairs, she saw that Jonas was waiting for her at the door of his car. He was tall and handsome, and everything he did was like a big movie. His charm had always been unquestionable.
At the sight of Melinda, Jonas's eyes lit up, and then strode to her. Neither of them said anything.
"Grandpa misses you." Jonas wanted to tell her about the hot spring, but the topic fell on the tip of his tongue, and it turned into that Nelson missed Melinda.
Although it was true, the meaning was totally different. Jonas was a little childish and frowned.
"Say hello to Grandpa for me," Melinda answered after she hesitated for a while. Then she looked at Jonas with her big eyes, as if she was asking, "Anything else?"
"Tomorrow is Saturday. Are you free?"
Jonas remembered what Nelson had said. If he wanted to win his wife back, the first thing he would do was to swallow up his pride. Dignity was not something he could use to get someone. He started to be bold, inviting her in an obvious, obscure way.
However, Melinda refused again decisively, though this time it took a few seconds more than last time.
