Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 43 Emma changed into light and comfortable clothes as she planned to head on a shopping spree at thesupermarket to prepare to write her script in seclusion.

However, she was just about to leave the house when she received a phone call.

The call came from Cerys.

Cerys Penrose was Trevor's other special assistant.

Together with Cyrus Penrose, they were Trevor's left-and right-hand men.

Cerys Penrose and Cyrus Penrose were twins.

It was said that they came from a poor mountainous area and it was the charity foundation under the Bateson Family that supported them and financed their studiesas they went abroad for further growth and grew into outstanding talents.

After they graduated, they joined the Bateson Group and worked diligently for their employer together.

Cerys’ personality was calm and reserved.

What's more, she was a veritable workaholic.

Therefore, Trevor often assigned many important matters to her to handle.

At this moment, she issued an invitation to Emma on the phone in a business-like manner.

"Miss Yates, let's meel up to discuss the project.

I just look over the role today, so there are many things that I am not familiar with.” Emma happily agreed.

“Sure.” She often dealt with Cerys when she was still Mrs.

Bateson, so she had a pretty good relationship with Cerys.

Cerys continued, "You can decide on the time and place." Emma was just about to head to the shopping mall.

For that reason, she suggested one of the cafes at the shopping mall and they agreed to meet therein twenty minutes.

Cerys was as capable and neat as usual.

Emma greeted Cerys with a soft smile after taking a seat.

“Long time no see, Cerys.

You're getting more and more beautiful.” On the other hand, Cerys looked at Emma deeply before she repliedemotionally, "And you've gotten more confident.” Cerys’ statement startled Emma slightly.

Are the changes I experienced so obvious? One could only imagine how unsettled and subservient she used to be under Trevor's scornful attitude.

As soon as that thought crossed her mind, she couldn't help blurting out, “I left an unsuitable partner and ended a flawed relationship, so it feels like I've beenborn all over again.” Cerys frowned slightly.

Before she came, her employer had ordered that she report every word and sentence that they talked about to him.

However, she was not sure whether she should report what Emma said just now.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries with each other, they entered a working state.

It could be seen that Cerys was indeed going to take over the project in the future.

Hence, it felt as though a heavy weight had lifted from Emma's heart.

As long as she did not meet Trevor, she could stay away from trouble.

When they finished discussing work, Cerys took out two boxes of ointment from her bag and handed them to Emma.

“I heard that you injured your arm.

I have a few ointments here that are very effective.

They all have wonderful skin-healing properties.” Emma did not expect Cerys to be so kind as to give hersome medicine.

Although Adam had left her with two boxes of medicine, she did not wish to brush off Cerys’ kindness.

Thus, she took them from Cerys "Thanks." Cerys shook her head.

“It's nothing.”

Emma added, “There's one more thing.

We're going to be working together in the future.

Please don't speak so formally to me.

It's inappropriate.”

She used to be Mrs.

Bateson in the past, so Cerys had always spoken formally to her out of courtesy.

However, they only had a simple cooperative relationship between them at the moment.

It was inappropriate for Cerys to speak so formally to her.

Cerys considered those words for some time before she nodded in agreement.

"Okay." As Emma intended to head for shopping later, she stood up and took her leave first. Following Emma's departure, Cerys took out her phone and sent out a message.

“Mr.

Bateson, I've delivered the medicine.

Then, she continued to report the results of her discussion with Emma to Trevor whereby everything had gone smoothly.

In the end, she did not tell Trevor about how Emma had claimed that he was an unsuitable partner. That was because Cyrus told her that Trevor seemed to harbor some feelings for Emma. Combining the fact that Trevor had asked her to deliver the medicine to Emma in her name before she came here, she felt that Cyrus“analysis made sense.

It was better for her to err on the cautious side.

After Emma finished shopping, she went home and began working on the detailed creation of the script.

The rough outlinc needed to be refined, especially when it came to the dialogue between thecharacters.

Those had to be carefully thought out.

She stayed at home for approximately three days.

Then, she received a phone call from Wesley telling her that the director had organized a dinner party that evening to improve the relations betweenall the members of the production team. There was no saying whether Wesley was being intentional or unintentional.

In any case, he mentioned that Trevor would not be attending the party since the project had been handed over to Cerys.

Naturally, it was Cerys who would join the party.

As soon as Emma heard that statement, she agreed to attend.

The director of this drama was quite famous.

In particular, he was an expert at producing historical drama.

If the producer was there, then she could also discuss some of the plot points with thedirector. She originally planned to take a cab there, but Wesley claimed that it was on the way and insisted on pickingher up.

Since she was unable to turn him down, she could only agree to his proposal.

Since it was not a formal event, she dressed a little more casually.

She wore a pair of high-waist denim pants paired with the current trending black crop top.

With just the right proportion between her waist and hips, she was absolutely beautiful and sassy. When Wesley came to pick her up, he smiled and complimented her.

“You look very good in those clothes.

It highlights your youth and beauty.” + His compliment was embarrassing Emma.

During her marriage with Trevor, she had always dressed in a gentle but intellectual fashion similar to celebrities.

She even went so far as to imitate Crystal's style slightly.

Believing that “Trevor preferred women like Crystal, she had instinctively chosen to dress in that style at the time.

The truth was that she disliked wearing high heels and dresses.

On the contrary, she preferred wearing sneakers and casual but comfortable clothes.

When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, they entered side by side.

Inside the car that drove into the parking garage after them, Trevor stared darkly at theslender figure and the fair skin of her half-exposed waist while a ball of fire unconsciously erupted in his chest.

Is she letting herself free after the divorce? Dressed like that with half her waist exposed to theworld in a fully air-conditioned room? Isn't she afraid of the cold? Not to mention, her figure had all the right curves in the right places.

Looking at her figure made his mouth dry and he accidentally recalled the crazy and passionate joys theyshared before their divorce.

One of those times was when she had been extremely enthusiastic and proactive.

Another instance was the taboo and secretive time they shared in the Bateson Residence! He reached up a hand and undid one ofthe buttons around his neck to relieve some of his lustful mood

His frustrations were probably caused by the fact that he had not vented his energy in this aspectover the past year.

That was why he had such lustful thoughts about his ex-wife.

Cyrus spoke up at just the right time.

“Mr.

Bateson, we've arrived.” Only then did Trevor return to his senses.

Unbuckling his seatbelt, he got out of the car and entered the restaurant with Cyrus.

Emma and Wesley entered the private room

The director who hosted this gathering was already there, as well as the two assistant directors and the other related personnel.

Because Emma had been absent from the previous meeting, Wesley brought her around and introduced herto several people.

Right after they finished making their introductions, they saw the door of the private room opening again.

She turned back and immediately caught sight of Trevor striding into the room.

His eyes were cold and stern, and his aura was powerful.

He was dressed in a simple white shirt and a pair of black trousers, which highlighted his tall build. Since this was not a formal event, the collar of his shirt was opened slightly.

His sexy Adam's apple could be scen at a glance, causing the thoughts of the womenwho coveted him to go wild.

Nevertheless, Emma did not experience any such lustful thoughts.

She only felt her good mood vanishing in an instant.
