Chapter 55 Being Harassed
Chapter 55 Being Harassed
After a complete falling out with Julian, Emelia stayed at home and worked hard on her script.
She wanted to hurry up and finish the script so that the crew could rush into filming and she could hurry
up and end these encounters with Julian.
Although she knew it was unrealistic because even if she handed in the script, the crew would still
come to her if there were any problems during the shoot, but if she could finish a day sooner, she Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
would be able to clear the line with Julian sooner, wouldn't she?
Emelia basically wrote one episode a day at a pace that made her dizzy.
That day she received a call from Harvey, "Emelia, we are preparing for the show recently, we have
encountered some problems and would like to discuss them with you, why don't we have a lunch
together?"
"Okay, name a location." Emelia agreed.
It was common in a show for the director to have discussions with the writers about the plot.
It was just as well that she was tired of writing and wanted to go out to relax.
Harvey then gave her an address, a restaurant in Riverside City Film and Television Base, and Emelia
dressed up and took a taxi there.
When she reached the private room, Emelia knocked on the door and entered, frowning slightly at the
sight of the middle-aged man sitting next to Harvey.
The man was an assistant director under Harvey. Emelia had heard Nina spouting off to her about this
assistant director, who was lewd and lustful, and had taken advantage of many actresses.
Of course, those actresses who were justly popular were not something he dared to mess with.
Those young girls who were new to the industry, or those who were weak, had no choice but to put up
with his harassment.
Emelia looked at the man and a bad feeling welled up in her heart.
The last time she had dinner with Harvey, his hand almost touched her waist, and she reflected on it for
a long time afterwards.
This time she wrapped herself up very tightly, a long-sleeved loose shirt with denim trousers, not
showing off her figure or any bit of skin, for fear of attracting any more ill-will from the men because of
what she was wearing.
After she had greeted them and walked over to sit down, the assistant director's hand was smoothly
placed on her shoulder.
The man's unrestrained gaze fell on her pretty face, "How old are you, Emelia? Your skin looks so
tender and hydrated."
As he spoke, he tried to reach out to touch Emelia's face, and Emelia couldn't resist getting up to avoid
it.
She tried to squeeze out a smile, "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."
The first thing Emelia did after she left the house was to call Nina and tell her about her encounter with
the lewd assistant director.
Nina was instantly alert, "Find an excuse to leave, that old man is disgusting."
Emelia had a headache, "But we'll have to get along for the whole project, and it's not good to offend
them directly."
Nina was already a popular actress and can simply ignore these shameless men, but Emelia was
different.
At best, she was just a scriptwriter with a little talent, and until she made a name for herself, she would
not dare offend anyone.
Nina said, "I can't leave now, or I could've gone there accompany you."
Nina was already the designated actor for the role of princess consort, and it was normal to have
dinner with the director and scriptwriter.
Emelia thought for a moment and said, "I'll give Mr. Johansen a call."
"Viggo will take at least half an hour to be there." Nina vetoed her proposal.
Nina then said cheerfully, "How about this? You can stall in the washroom for a while. Harry happens to
be auditioning over here today, I'll ask him to help you out, he'll be there in ten minutes at the latest."
Emelia let out a long sigh of relief, "Great."
Nina then hung up the phone to contact Harry, while Emelia continued to hide in the bathroom.
Although she did not want to get too involved with Harry for fear of dragging him down, she was really
desperate in this situation today.
She didn't expect the sleazy assistant director to be there, and couldn't just offend him.
Although Viggo supported her, she was now at loggerheads with her Julian, who would definitely take
personal revenge against her if she clashed with the director.
"I'll be right over, hold on a little longer." Harry sent her a voice message, and Emelia sighed softly.
It was true that it was better to have more friends.
But it wasn't a good idea for her to stay hidden in the bathroom, as Harvey called to urge her.
Looking at Harry's positioning, she found that he was about to arrive, so Emelia took a deep breath and
reentered the box.
But she didn't expect the assistant director to approach her as soon as she stepped into the box.
Emelia took a few steps back and leaned against the wall. She glanced at Harvey, who was sitting
there indifferently, and questioned the assistant director with her teeth clenched, "What are you doing?"
"Why are you so nervous?" That assistant director smiled lecherously and came closer to her, "Emelia,
you give me some benefit, and I promise that this script won't need to be modified at all."
Emelia snorted, "A good script will not need to be modified."
"Also, I just found out today that this is how you two treat the female colleagues you work with, I
wonder what Mr. Johansen and Mr. Hughes will think of you when they find out."
The assistant director laughed cockily, "It is normal to like beauties, besides no matter how we work,
someone will cover us."
Emelia couldn't help but be puzzled after hearing this, someone was covering them?
The assistant director added, "This is the cruelty of reality, if you can't stand it, you can quit."
Emelia gritted her teeth and raised her hand to push the assistant director, "Get out of my way."
"I didn't see that you have quite a hot temper." That assistant director said as he pressed Emelia's
hands and tried to lean over and give Emelia a kiss.
Harry pushed the door in at this time, and once he saw the lewd appearance of the assistant director,
he immediately swung his fist and punched him, and the assistant director was knocked to the ground
on the spot.
Emelia was startled and hurriedly went to pull Harry, "Don't fight, stop it!"
However, Harry, who was in a rage, did not care and rode on the assistant director and punched him
hard.
"Harry!" Harvey was also shocked and rushed over, shouting at Harry to stop.
Harry was young and strong, and with a hard swing of his arm, he pushed Harvey aside, and his fists
rained down on the assistant director again.
Finally, it was the assistant director who cried out and begged for mercy, "Stop, stop."
"I didn't mean to harass you, it was Yvonne who told us to do so, she told us to drive you out of this
project in any way ..."
After Harry heard the name Yvonne, his movements jerked to a halt before he turned his head to look
at Emelia who was next to him.
Emelia was also full of disbelief.
Why would Yvonne do this?
She had modified the script according to Yvonne's request, she had divorced Julian and avoided him,
but why did Yvonne still target her so viciously?
