Chapter 136 Business Trip
Seeing that Emelia didn’t say anything, Nina quickly held her face and said, “Are you worried about Julian?”
Before Emelia could say anything, Nina warned her with a serious expression, “Let me tell you, don’t be soft-hearted as to dropped the lawsuit against Caroline. Or else, that will be what Heather and the others want!”
“Besides, Caroline, that bitch, should be punished!”
Emelia came to her senses and shook her head gently. “Of course I won’t withdraw the lawsuit.”
“I just didn’t expect that Julian didn’t indulge his mother and Caroline this time.” Emelia lowered her eyes and laughed at herself. “His mother actually made a scene with him, but he didn’t interfere and deal with me to let me withdraw the lawsuit.”
Perhaps it was because Julian had never stood on her side in the past, which had left her with a deep shadow. Emelia always thought that since Julian, Heather, and Caroline were family, he would always stand on their sides.
Nina snorted, “If he dares to help them, then I’ll let their entire family know what’s the ultimate roasting on the internet!”
Emelia smiled and handed Nina a cup of coffee before asking, “Is his mother alright?”
Emelia didn’t pay much attention to the gossip online, so she didn’t even know that Heather Duncan attempted suicide.
Nina took a sip of coffee and comfortably sighed. “Scourge stay for a thousand year. How could she not be fine? I guess her suicide is just an act. Such people have always cherished their lives. They haven’t tortured enough people yet. How can they bear to leave this world?”
Nina’s words had always been very vicious, and now, she was even more rude.
Emelia didn’t say anything else. She just lowered her head and drank coffee.
She admitted that the moment she heard Heather Duncan attempted suicide, she hesitated about what move to make.
She had always been soft-hearted and kind. She thought if she would forget about it. If she dropped the case, then maybe the Hughes wouldn’t turn against each other? She was fine after all right?
However, in the end, her rationality defeated soft-heartedness and she insisted on letting Caroline be punished.
If she didn’t become strong, Caroline would only think that she was weak and easy to bully, and maybe she would be even more hostile to her.
Nina took a sip of coffee and said, “You know that Yvonne terminated her contract with the Hughes Group and established a film and television company, don’t you?”
Emelia knew clear about this matter, because it was widely spread everywhere.
A few days ago, after Yvonne’s wrongdoings were exposed, she announced that she had terminated her contract with HGH. At the same time, she also announced that she had established her own film and television company called YS Culture.
It was not surprising that Yvonne would do such a thing. After all, she had the support of Sam Sullivan.
Instead of continuing to be a star in public under the name of cursing, it was better to be the one behind the scenes.
Nina said with disdain, “I heard that she’s been hunting for talents from other companies recently, including directors, screenwriters, artists, and so on. A company led by this kind of person with evil intentions will probably become a cancer in the industry.”
Emelia nodded in agreement. “When the above behave wrongly, the below will do the same. They will not go far.”
Yvonne analyzed, “I heard that she also wants to buy the rights of Vincent’s new book. She’ll definitely send a screenwriter to compete for the position.”
Emelia frowned slightly. For some reason, she had a bad hunch when she heard this news.
But she couldn’t tell what the premonition was. She only took a few sips of coffee to suppress her uneasiness.
To test the true ability of screenwriters, Vincent chose the most complicated and also exciting part of the plot in the book and sent it to the major film and television companies, asking the screenwriters to adapt it for the script.
It only took Emelia a day to adapt to them. She then sent them to Viggo and Julian in email form.
Viggo called her as soon as he finished reading. He said happily, “That’s great. Both the plot and the lines are amazing. I can guarantee that they will definitely pass!”
Emelia was very embarrassed by the praise. “Thank you.”
Julian only replied two words to her through WhatsApp: Very good.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Emelia replied politely, “Thank you.”
In addition, the two of them had nothing else to say.
Two days later, Emelia received a call from Emelia, saying that Vincent had selected several companies through the first draft and informed them to go to the Capital to have a face-to-face meeting. So Emelia had to go to the Capital with Julian.
After hearing this, Emelia couldn’t help but feel a headache. Going on a business trip with Julian was no different from taking her life.
The relationship between her and Julian was so awkward. If they went on a business trip together, the scene would be beyond imagination. At that time, they would be so embarrassed that they could even scratch the plane.
She asked Maisie Brennan with difficulty, “Why didn’t you go?”
Maisie smiled and said, “You think too highly of me. I can’t nail such a big project. Mr. Hughes will do it himself.”
Emelia had no choice but to agree. “Alright.”
She asked desperately, “When will we set off?”
Maisie couldn’t help laughing when she heard her tone. “Actually, Mr. Hughes has changed a lot. You don’t have to be nervous.”
Emelia wasn’t nervous or scared; she was embarrassed.
If Julian had not said that he had fallen in love with her in that chaotic warehouse, she would have been able to face him calmly.
Maisie informed her again, “Mr. Hughes booked a flight to the Capital this afternoon. After we arrive, take a rest and meet Vincent tomorrow morning.”
“Pack up your luggage. A driver will pick you up and send you to the airport later.”
“Fine.” Emelia hung up the phone and began to clean up.
Forty minutes later, she arrived at the airport in the car arranged by Julian. Julian didn’t show up or contact her all the way.
Emelia silently prayed it would be best if something were to happen to Julian. She could fly on her own, so that she wouldn’t have to go with him.
However, when she finished boarding and arrived at the airport lounge, she immediately saw the man inside.
Julian, dressed in a black suit, stood there and made a phone call.
All of Emelia’s hopes were dashed. She had no choice but to push her suitcase and walk in.
Seeing her come in, Julian looked up at her and continued to make phone calls.
Naturally, Emelia wouldn’t choose a seat next to him. Instead, she chose a seat far away from him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down and took out her mobile phone to check the time, a black shadow flashed in front of her.
She looked up and saw Julian sitting down on the sofa next to her directly.
Emelia was speechless.
She forced a smile and greeted him. “Mr. Hughes.”
“Hello.” Julian replied indifferently.
Emelia had just let out a sigh of relief when she heard him say, “Am I a beast that you sit so far?”
Emelia tried her best to maintain a smile. “Of course not. I just don’t want to disturb you at your phone call.”
Julian snorted, “You’re really good at lying.”
What?
Did he really need to point it out?
What’s wrong with maintaining a harmonious-on-the-surface relationship between each other?
