Chapter 350 - Make Him Yours

The first few days after her contract was canceled, Avaleigh tried to call Sue for help. But, no matter what time of day she called, her calls went straight through to voicemail every single time. Eventually, Avaleigh got the hint that Sue didn't want to talk to her. It seemed, during times of crisis, people showed their true colors.

"I haven't been able to get in contact with Sue either," Chu said as she chatted to Avaleigh over the phone.

"I even went to the agency, but the security guards stopped me at the entrance," she added.

Avaleigh sighed, "I guess we need to rely on ourselves from now on. How are the other girls holding up?"

"Ara, Nana, Olivia, and I have met once since our contract cancelation, but we've pretty much lost hope in returning to music. Ara runs a YouTube channel that's still making her a little bit of money and Nana still has her spot on the radio station, but Olivia and I are completely unemployed at the moment. As for Ray, she returned to Japan to spend some time with her family," Chu explained. "If we try to look at things positively, at least this has given us an opportunity to spend time with the ones we love. For example, I've been seeing my boyfriend more often and we don't even have to keep our relationship a secret anymore. It's not all bad...don't you agree?" Chu asked with an underlying meaning to her question.

Avaleigh blushed a little. She had a feeling she knew what Chu was referring to, but she pretended to be oblivious, "Yes, I'm planning to move back to Hong Kong permanently with my mother. She's looking forward to spending more time with me."

"Ha! Are you moving back to Hong Kong because of your mother? Or because of President Wu?" Chu teased straightforwardly. "I heard you've been living together..."

Avaleigh quickly cleared her throat and corrected her friend. "Hey, we haven't been living together! He's simply renting his apartment to me..." she said shyly.

She was telling the truth. Although she had agreed to be Emerson's girlfriend a few days ago, he still returned to his family's mansion every night and they never did anything apart from sharing a kiss on that first night. After all, they were both inexperienced with relationsh.i.p.s and neither of them knew what to do.

But, to her surprise, her friend replied, "What are you waiting for? Hurry and make him yours before someone else steals him away! Haven't you seen the articles online lately? Emerson Wu ranked number one as the most eligible bachelor in Hong Kong for the 4th year in a row!"

"Most eligible bachelor? Make him mine?" Avaleigh blushed.

"Yes! Sleep with him and don't give him the chance to consider any other woman but you!" Chu said straightforwardly.

Avaleigh trembled and quickly hung up her phone, "I don't know what you're talking about..."

But, as soon as she hung up, she found herself scrolling through the articles that Chu was talking about. Chu was right; women were obsessed with Emerson! There were even articles about women trying to confess to him and those women were all attractive with wealthy backgrounds.

Before she knew it, Avaleigh found herself clicking through one article after another like she had been sucked into a black hole that she couldn't get out of.

She eventually stopped on an old article about Marissa and quickly recognized her. It was an article about the two of them dancing together at a ball. She was the woman that visited last time! And they looked quite good together.

Avaleigh felt a tinge of jealousy and realized Chu was right, if she didn't act fast, she was going to lose Emerson!

Sure, Marissa was beautiful with a s.e.xy body and a straightforward personality, but Avaleigh was a popular idol with plenty of fans. Although she was no longer active as an idol, her beauty could not be denied. If she tried, Emerson would not be able to escape from the palm of her hands. She was certain of it!

With this thought, Avaleigh checked the time and quickly ran into her bedroom to get changed. Emerson was almost home.

By now, some of her clothes had been moved from Korea and she had also bought some new clothes, so she no longer had to dress in the shabby clothes that Emerson's maid bought for her. Avaleigh quickly flipped through the dresses in her wardrobe and picked out one that was casual, sweet, yet slightly revealing. She had to seduce Emerson without looking too desperate and this dress was perfect! Tonight, this bachelor was not going to be a bachelor anymore.

She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. Even though she was a little nervous, she couldn't let this man slip away, so she was determined. Just as she finished getting dressed and applied a light layer of makeup, she heard the front door open. The timing was perfect!

She sauntered into the living room, trying to look as natural as possible, but quickly froze awkwardly in place when she realized there were two other figures behind Emerson.

Emerson paused in surprise while the two men behind him scanned Avaleigh up and down. Danson subconsciously whistled. "I can see why you're trying so hard to help her," he whispered to his friend.

Emerson immediately jabbed Danson with his elbow, removed his jacket, and covered Avaleigh with it. As he did so, he glanced down at the beautiful woman and saw her blush a little. Her collarbone peeked out between her long wispy hair and she had a little bit of cleavage showing. Emerson took a deep breath and quickly pulled his jacket tightly around the front of Avaleigh's body. 

"Why didn't you tell me we had guests?" Avaleigh asked softly.

Emerson looked at his girlfriend apologetically and said, "Danson mentioned a really good opportunity for you and I couldn't wait to tell you about it."

"What opportunity?" Avaleigh asked as Emerson led her to the dining table.

Danson and Morton quickly joined and Danson began to explain, "Ahem...I recently invested in a new entertainment agency and taken on the role of managing director. We are currently looking for artists to sign and Emerson mentioned you were looking for a new contract. Have you ever considered pursuing a career in Hong Kong and China?"

"A new entertainment agency? Who's the boss? What's the name of this agency?" Avaleigh asked in surprise.

Danson glanced at Emerson awkwardly, and replied, "The agency is called AE Entertainment. You don't know the boss and he prefers to remain anonymous, but you can trust us..."
