Chapter 42 Surprisingly, Julian Compromised
Julian dropped the phone, meaning that his talk with Viggo fell apart.
Viggo did not call him again. Ezra gave his analyses while stroking his own chin, "Mr. Johansen is really good to Emelia.
"By reason, you are the investor, Viggo only has to please you. Even if there is a conflict with the scriptwriter and the script, basically only the scriptwriter will go away, but he required the investor to change the person in charge."
In Ezra's opinion, the reason why Viggo was so arrogant to Julian was either because Emelia was really talented or Viggo liked Emelia.
It was not about a boss standing up for his subordinates, but a man defending the woman he liked.
Julian gave him a blank look, grabbed the bottle and poured himself a glass of alcohol.
He had long realized that Viggo took a fancy to Emelia, but he did not expect that Viggo would take the risk to confront him, the investor, for Emelia.
When Ezra saw how much he was drinking, he simply asked the waiter to remove the alcohol, in case he wouldn't get into any serious stomach problems, because now there was no one to look after him. Although Julian was with Yvonne, Yvonne herself was a young lady who had to be taken care of everything, she didn't know how to take care of Julian.
Yvonne was currently in semi-retirement and acted like a virtuous wife who would cook for her partner, but it was just an illusion to fool people.
It could be told from the details that whether Yvonne was heartful to Julian. When Emelia first married Julian, she did not know how to cook, but due to Julian's stomach problems, she learned how to cook well and had been preparing three meals a day for Julian ever since.
What about Yvonne?
Ezra felt that she was just making a show of posting photos on her Instagram, and as to whether Yvonne's cooking was edible or not, only she herself would know.
Ezra did not believe that someone as shrewd as Julian could not see Yvonne's perfunctory pretense, or could it be that Julian only like Yvonne's appearance? Yvonne's face and body were considered one of the best among women, so if Julian only liked those about her, there was actually nothing wrong with it. Men do like pretty women.
Ezra glanced at Julian's unhappy expression and didn't say anything else to irritate him.
Emelia had a busy night. A popular young actor came to visit her and a mature movie star defended her. She wondered if Julian would feel she was lusting after him. Emelia stayed at Nina's place for the night and the two of them drank a lot, but it didn't affect Emelia at all to get up the next morning and prepare a hearty breakfast for Nina.
Nina slurped as she ate, "Thanks to Julian, I can now taste your cooking from time to time, you used to cook only for Julian before."
Emelia just smiled and didn't say anything, she felt that it was silly that she used to devote herself to Julian before, so she did not want to mention it.
Nina asked her, "Have you really decided to quit the show?"
Emelia lowered her eyes, her tone self-deprecating, "It took me a year to get over the pain of losing my love and marriage. Those people and those things were my nightmare. Seeing them reminded me of how lowly I used to be, and I hate myself being like that."
"So it's better to quit. I will be peaceful if we have no contact."
Emelia chose to take on the script at first, knowing that it was Julian's investment, because she felt she could draw a line under business.
But there were so much troubles right at the beginning, and even though she was trying to draw a line, it didn't seem to work because of Yvonne.
Nina reached over and shook her hand firmly, "I am with you."
Just after breakfast, Emelia received a message from Viggo, "The Hughes Group said the script doesn't need to be modified. Just follow the original plot.
"Also, the person in charge is changed to Maisie Brennan, Julian's special assistant, so from now on you can just write the script as you wish."
Emelia was stunned as she gripped her phone. The script didn't need to be modified?
She had thought that after Yvonne made such a scene last night, Julian must have had to comfort her, and the script would have to be modified in accordance with Yvonne's wish.
And, why did the person in charge get replaced?
She really didn't want to see Julian at all. Who had made such an arrangement for her?
Emelia couldn't figure it out, so she hurriedly called Viggo.
Viggo was being frank, "I know you don't want to contact with him, so I made it clear to him straight away last night that either you quit the project and get a new scriptwriter, or he finds a new person in charge on his side."
She had to admit that Viggo was quite good at this.
As an employee, she was touched by Viggo's unfaltering support for her in this way.
"Mr. Johansen, thank you." Emelia thanked Viggo gratefully, but she didn't expect someone as proud as Julian to compromise.
Viggo smiled and reassured her, "It's nothing, I have the confidence to make such a request because our script is good, even if we fall out with him, I can find another investor."
The fact that Viggo appreciated her script made her Emelia kinda overwhelmed that she didn't know what to say.
She vowed in her heart that she would make this script perfect so that she could repay Viggo's support for her.
Viggo didn't say anything else and hung up after explaining that she would officially write the script as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, Emelia happily hugged Nina and cheered for a long time. It was great not to have to modify the script and not to see Julian again.
Nina, who was being held by her, then murmured in disbelief, "It is unbelievable that Julian compromised."
Nina engaged in the entertainment industry, so more or less she had contacted with Julian. Although HGH was only the most insignificant part of the Hughes empire, Julian and HGH were rather aggressive. They took control of everything in the projects they were involved, others could only obeyed them.
She didn't expect him to compromise for Viggo this time, no, it could be for Emelia.
She wondered what Julian had in mind.
Nina went out to film and Emelia took a taxi back to her place.
Harry left not long after she did last night, and it was said that his company had managed to distract the fans and then let him off the hook. What Emelia wanted was that Harry must not cause her any more trouble in future, because she had to stay alone to write her script. Harry left behind a big bag of snacks he had brought with him, as well as some ointment for scrapes and burns.
Emelia looked at the injury on her arm and couldn't help but smile, not expecting Harry to be quite attentive despite his young age.000000
