When James turned around, Emma was gone.
"Go to L Communication University," Emma told the cab driver.
"Emma, wait! Where are you going?" James yelled. But Emma did not look back. As soon as she shut her door, her cab sped away.
The employees of Sunshine Entertainment heard all the noise and ran out to see what was going on. The company security guards fought James' bodyguards. It was not actually a fair fight.
All of James' bodyguards were highly trained. These ordinary security guards were not enough to even rattle them.
The receptionist shouted, panicking, "Stop! Stop! What are you doing? Stop right now, or I'll call the police!" She hurriedly picked up her mobile phone, dialed the police, and pressed the phone against her ear.
Since Emma left him, James was already in a bad mood. Upon hearing the receptionist, he was fuming mad.
He walked slowly with his head cocked to the side. His shoes made clicking sounds against the tiled floor. He looked like a ruffian, but one who hailed from a very rich and powerful family.
"Call the police, you say? Do you not know who I am?" James asked menacingly.
"I don't care who you are. Nobody walks into Sunshine Entertainment building, messes things up, and gets away with it. You're screwed," the receptionist spat.
James flashed her a crooked smile. The lady clearly had no idea who he was.
He pointed at himself and said arrogantly, "My name is James Shi."
The recep
urned down. She looked depressed.
She rushed out of the elevator where she bumped into a short man, knocking the gift bag off his hand as a result.
The box in the bag tumbled out and rolled into a corner.
"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well," Kristina murmured.
"It's okay. No harm done," the man replied, picking up the box without really looking at it and stuffing it back into the gift bag.
After the man left, Kristina caught a glimpse of something white and shiny on the floor. It was a pearl bracelet. She picked it up and realized that it must belong to the man she just bumped into. It must have slipped out of the box.
There was no way she could find that man now, so Kristina just decided to leave the bracelet at the front desk and let them sort it out.
Before she reached the front desk, her phone rang. Albert was calling.
As soon as the line connected, Albert's angry voice came through. "Kristina, why did you go see him?
I'm at West Forest Street. I need to see you now."
Kristina had never heard Albert use that tone on her before.
As far as she knew, Albert had a grudge against her for worshiping John before. No man could ever tolerate his woman worshiping other men.
"I'm on my way." Afraid that any more delay would make Albert even angrier, Kristina hurried out the Time Group, shoving the bracelet into her pocket.
It was an ordinary bracelet, but it was about to stir up a tidal wave of trouble.
