Chapter 135 - Erica's Proposal

"Can't you try to be polite? At least a little bit." Emily asked him as she glared at her bodyguard.

"Did I not order tea for them? That's me being as polite as I can." Shadow replied with a small shrug as he took out his phone and started playing some sort of battle game.

"Shadow!" Emily whispered shouted at him, even though the other two ladies could clearly hear her.

She could not believe that he was actually acting in such a cold manner towards the guest that he himself invited.

"Ah! Let's not disturb him. After all, we are here to talk to you." Erica hurriedly said as if she was being threatened for her life.

Little did Emily knew that her bodyguard actually threatened the two women just now.

His actual words were - 'I don't want her to get mad at me!'

He sent this wish to the two of them through the mind links, something that he got as a reward for claiming the throne of the Supreme Sire.

Being the ruler of the world of the undead, Shadow was far more powerful than anyone could ever imagine. There was barely anything that he could not do if he wanted.

Of course, one of those rare things was his happiness and peace because no matter how hard he tried, he did not succeed in finding any sort of happiness and peace in his Immortal life.

Emily stared at the two women in surprise. She had no idea about what was going on at the moment.

Shadow was supposed to give her the Christmas present that he failed to give on Christmas day.

However, there were now two strangers with them, sitting in a private room of a restaurant as they announced that they were there for her.

Just when she thought that her brain was going to erupt with so many questions, something suddenly popped up in her mind.

"Wait! You are Erica Scott from E Entertainment!" Emily suddenly spoke out loudly as she stared at the woman in front of her with pure shock.

Never did she imagine seeing the CEO of the famous Anime and drama-making company of their country in front of her very eyes, less sitting with her and having tea.

"Oh my! See! She even knows me!" Erica looked too happy as she smiled at Emily while taking her hands in her own.

The woman's hands were cold against her warm ones but Emily did not pull away her hands from her hold as she tried to be polite.

"It's an honor to meet you, Mam. But why do you want to meet me?" Emily asked as she kept a small smile visible on her lips.

She was just shocked to see the famous Erica Scott and that's why her mind was still struggling to process everything. It was not as if she did not like their company.

"Ever since Dark Happiness launched, its success and fame are known by everyone who's a fan of the world of books, stories, dramas, and comics. Without any doubt, the story also attracted my attention. What I did not expect is to suddenly receive a mail that informed me that I can find the writer of this story here, in City A." 

Erica answered Emily's question with a genuine smile and amazement in her eyes. The woman still could not believe that such a young girl succeeded in writing such a hit story.

Though the story was still ongoing, its success was as blinding as it ever could. 

It was indeed a true - talent was not bound to a particular age. As long as one was ready to give their all in what they wanted to do, sooner or later, they would actually achieve their goal.

The thing that pulled everyone's attention towards Emily's story was the darkness that she beautifully embodied in her plot and characters.

Her story was not filled with rainbows and happiness, but it was either not filled with pure darkness.

It was a story of finding happiness through the darkness, finding light through the sadness. 

It was a story that made thousands of people relate to the characters. While everyone dreamed about having perfect lives, in reality, what they had were imperfections. 

Emily's story was about finding perfection in those imperfect sketches, and that's probably why so many people were loving it because they could relate to the story in one way or other.

"You are doing a mindblowing job, my dear. All that I want is for you to never give up on your dreams and that's why I'm here." 

Erica's words pulled Emily's attention towards the woman and she waited patiently for the former to continue speaking.

"You are still young. It's understandable if you want to pursue a different profession later in your life. But if you really want to continue your journey as a writer, I'm here to present a proposal to you." 

"A proposal?" Emily asked as she tried to understand exactly what was going on.

"En! A proposal. I want to start an anime series on your story. We can even launch a drama later on when the story will be completed. I'm here today to know if you would like to collaborate with E Entertainment." 

To say that Emily was left totally shocked would be an understatement. She could barely believe what she was hearing. 

Ever since she first posted her story online, everything related to it had left her immensely surprised.

First, she received a proposal for signing a contract with an online site. Then her story became a hit within a few months of its release and now she was receiving another proposal from such a well-known director of the Entertainment industry of their country.

"This........Actually.....I can't take this decision so suddenly. I have never thought about anything related to such stuff. Moreover, I will need permission from the company under which I'm an author at the moment." Emily finally found her voice and gave an answer to the woman.

"It's alright! You can take your time to think about it. As for the online site where you publish your story, my company will take care of it if you decided to accept my proposal." Erica informed her with a tender tone.
