Chapter 104 Weird Dress
The smile froze on Yvonne's lips, "He may finish his work..."
One said, "So he must be here to pick you up. Wow, he's so considerate. A knight in shining armor who can't wait to come to your rescue."
Another said with a smile, "So it is. You're so pretty. He must be worried that other men would take you away."
Yvonne used to love to hear these words, but now she felt very nervous. Because no one else knew that Julian would make a clean break with her.
Yet, she believed he would compromise. Whether it was because of her father's power, or her father's kindness to the Hughes, he would marry her.
She thought Julian may haven't come round yet, and in time he would compromise. This was why she maintained a false image of being in love with Julian.
But she did not expect Julian would suddenly appear. He clearly told Heather not to attend.
If Julian ignored her tonight, she would be embarrassed.
Thinking of this, she hastened to said, "I have to go to the restroom."
She then turned and walked away to avoid Julian.
When Yvonne hid in the bathroom, the first thing she did was to call Caroline. But Caroline could be so obsessed with talking to some guy that Caroline didn't answer her phone for a long time. She was annoyed with Caroline who never made but always broke.
But she had to stay in the bathroom for a while because she didn't know what to do. Her embarrassment made her hate Emelia even more.
If Julian is really here for Emelia...
Yvonne bit her lip hard and determined to make Emelia pay.
Outside, the socialites who were just with Yvonne greeted Julian warmly when they saw him, "Mr. Hughes, Vonnie just went to the bathroom."
But he glanced at the speaking woman coldly and then stepped straight without talking to her.
The woman said to her companion with confusion, "Why did he react like that? Just like I shouldn't have told him about Yvonne.
"Who knows." the other sneered, "Actually, I don't understand why Julian liked Yvonne who was mean and phony. I couldn't believe he wanted to marry her.
It was obvious that Yvonne got in bad among her friends. After that woman's tease, others immediately followed repeated, "That's true. She can be popular is because Julian's great help, isn't she?" There are many beauties in the entertainment circle, and Yvonne's just one of them.
Yvonne could be red just because the roles she played were good, which were got with the help of Julian.
However, she always showed that her fame was due to her own efforts. She also considered herself beautiful and acting.
Julian didn't care what happened between these women. He walked over to Ezra, but his sight caught Emelia correctly.
She dressed in a black maxi dress, standing next to Viggo. She was talking to several people with a shining and bright smile on her face.
The long eyeline brought out her beautiful and enchanting eyes. He had never seen her in such a striking form.
"You are so..." Ezra passed Julian a glass of wine. He had no idea how to describe his good friend.
After he texted Julian, he turned to chat with someone else for a while. Then, Julian came. It was obvious that Julian still had feelings for Emelia, right?
Julian did not answer, but he only remained a cold face and drank wine from his glass. But he spat out in the next second.
Not for anything else, he saw the bared part of her back because of her turning around.
From his arrival to the present, all he ever saw was her front, according to which he assumed her dress was a normal cut.
Her maxi dress is sleeveless which showed her thin shoulders. He can accept it.
Who would have thought her back was so revealing.
He was mesmerized and even dazzled by her smooth and flawless back.
Julian was so angry, which startled Ezra.
Ezra took a step back to avoid him, and said with dislike, "What's wrong with you?"
Ezra understood when he looked around. He saw Emelia's back to them, "She has been walking around the banquet dressed like this for a while. But compared to what other women wear, I think her dress is pretty conservative."
To Ezra, Julian's reaction was too fussy.
Julian had attended numerous banquets. It was normal for women to bare their backs at banquets, isn't it?
He was feeling bad, especially when he saw Viggo sometimes clasped Emelia around the waist.
Ezra just tutted and praised, "Emelia's back is gorgeous, young and sexy.
Julian said unhappily, "Stop your obscene words."
Ezra felt his harmless, "Am I obscene? How nice my words are!"
Julian sneered. If someone said those words in front of him, he would have started the fright already.
He ignored Ezra, and then walked toward Emelia and Viggo with a glass in his hand.
Actually, Emelia saw Julian before. But she didn't want to be seen by him, and then she turned her back on purpose.
To avoid embarrassment, she thought that she and Julian had better not meet on such an occasion.
Besides, she didn't want to associate with Julian at all because of Yvonne's and Caroline's presence. But Emelia didn't expect Julian would approach her. She had to lift her eyes to him, with a decent smile.
Viggo greeted Julian and Ezra who walked behind Julian first, "Mr. Hughes. Mr. Cantillo."
"You are gorgeous today." Ezra praised Emelia. He was really good at making women happy.
Emelia smiled and nodded, "Thank you."
Julian sneered beside and said with a discontent tone, "You're a writer, not an actress. Are you enjoying it, getting attention by wearing weird clothes?"
Ezra rolled his eyes. He was quite speechless at what Julian said.
How to make women happy was really an art, and Julian was the layman.
Viggo smiled slightly and look at in front accident calmly.
Infuriated, Emelia gripped the glass tightly, as if she could have crushed it with a little more force.
Firstly, her dress was perfectly normal.
In a group of women who tried to be the best, it was conservative for her to bare her back. But how could he say she was wearing weird clothes? Yvonne's dress had a deep V neck and showed her shoulder and thigh. Why didn't he say anything? Was he afraid?
Well, he just thought she was a pushover and only dared to bully her.
Secondly, he said she was just trying to get attention. In his heart, she had always been an unscrupulous woman.‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒☐☐
