Chapter 286 - Rock Paper Scissors (1/2)

Mimi pounced towards Emerson like a frog spotting a lily pad. However, Emerson sensed her approaching from his peripheral vision and quickly stepped aside, avoiding the woman and causing her to lose her balance.

The girls on top of the stage saw this and couldn't help but laugh. Especially, Avaleigh, who had to cover her mouth modestly.

Mimi heard the giggles and glared towards the stage with annoyance.

When she saw Avaleigh covering her mouth, she was even more annoyed. ”Wait until I become the wife of a billionaire. Let's see who gets the last laugh,” she thought to herself.

She then swallowed her pride and forced a smile on her face as she looked at Emerson. He probably didn't see her coming and had coincidentally moved aside. Since he came to her room last night, he must like her, right?

”President Wu, it's so nice to see you again. Did you come to watch us rehearse?” Mimi asked affectionately.

Sue glanced at her artist. When did she become so close to Emerson?

At that moment, the other girls stepped off the stage and approached.

Without responding to Mimi, Emerson looked at the girl group and asked, ”Did you have breakfast this morning?”

Although it seemed like he was talking to everyone, his eyes were focused on Avaleigh.

Avaleigh looked down shyly and shook her head. But, before she managed to reply on behalf of the group, Mimi spoke up with a pout, ”No, we haven't eaten yet. My stomach is grumbling.”

Emerson furrowed his brows a little as he continued to look at Avaleigh. He had a feeling that this would be the case, but it still frustrated him a little to hear it. So, he turned to Sue and complained, ”Why haven't they had breakfast? How are they expected to perform when they don't have enough energy? What if one of them faint on stage? How will our team explain that to the public?”

Sue was quite surprised by the man's reaction. She didn't understand what he was saying, but he seemed really angry. Wasn't he just filling in for President Qian? Why did this man seem so worked up?

She turned to the interpreter for an explanation and the interpreter quickly explained what Emerson said. After she heard the translation, she glanced down guiltily. She cared about her artists sincerely, but she had no choice but to follow her agency's rules. They were only allowed one light meal before the concert in case they had a cramp on stage or they accidentally vomited from the excessive movement. Most importantly, no one wanted to see an idol dancing on stage with a visibly bloated stomach.
