Chapter 64 Julian's Partner
The following content of the meeting was to discuss about the supporting actress who would play the first love of the Lord.
Nina had been observing the secret competition between Julian and Viggo. Then, she finally spoke.
She looked at Julian with her beautiful eyes and sighed, "Oh, what a pity. Yvonne has retired. Otherwise, she will be the best candidate for the second female lead."
Nina's words were pungent. Those who knew what Yvonne had done to Emelia could understand her meaning.
Some of the participants echoed Nina's words. "That's right. Miss Sullivan is gentle and graceful. She could indeed play the girl that the Lord loves dearly."
The man praised Yvonne sincerely. After all, everyone knew that she was going to marry into Julian.
However, the praise was extremely ironic for those who knew the whole story, especially Julian.
He looked at Emelia again with his tense eyes and said, "Let the screenwriter tell us whether Yvonne is suitable."
Emelia felt that Julian was insane. How could he ask her to comment on Yvonne?
Did he do it on purpose? He deliberately wanted to use this to make things difficult for her.
She smiled politely and said, "I don't know much about Miss Sullivan. Miss Sullivan is Mr. Hughe's partner and Mr. Hughes has the most say."
She had thought that after she said that, Julian would just let it go.
Unexpectedly, he looked at her and said slowly, "That's not true. I don't know much about my ex-partner."
Everyone knew that Julian had a marriage before, but no one knew that his ex-wife was Emelia.
Emelia didn't expect that Julian would suddenly mention their marriage in public. Although no one else knew about it, she immediately got nervous.
Moreover, Julian's words were full of sarcasm. She was quite irritated by tgat.
Because of the anger in her heart, she looked into Julian's eyes and smiled gently. "If you do care, you wouldn't be like a total stranger to her after three years of marriage. Mr. Hughes must have been longing for someone else, so he didn't care about that ex-partner."
Emelia didn't want to be outdone, and she was hinting at how disloyal Julian was to marriage.
Viggo broke the deadlock between them at the right time. "All right. Aren't we discussing the actor? Why are we discussing Mr. Hughes' partner all of a sudden?"
Viggo added, "I think Yvonne is not suitable. After all, she is going to get married to Mr. Hughes. And she may get pregnant and have a child. It's not suitable for her to take part in our play."
The words "pregnant and have a child" was a little harsh to Emelia.
She would never forget that Julian had said to her from the top down, "You don't deserve to have my child."
Even though a year had passed, those hurtful words still made her feel sad and desperate every time she thought about it.
She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes without saying a word. Her fair fingers clenched the pen in her hand tightly, trying to calm down the pain in her heart.
Noticing that there was something wrong with Emelia's mood, he couldn't help but think back to what he had done to her, and an indescribable feeling welled up. The meeting lasted for another half an hour, but Julian didn't say a word anymore.
After the meeting, Julian got up and left with Maisie. Viggo invited Emelia and Nina as he walked. "Let's eat together?"
Before Emelia could reply, Nina said, "I won't go. There are other things. Have a nice lunch."
Then she patted Emelia on the shoulder and said, "You look so beautiful today. It will be a pity if you don't have dinner with Viggo."
After Nina finished speaking, she left. It was obvious that she wanted to leave lunch time for Viggo and Emelia.
Viggo glanced at Julian in front of him and said to Emelia, "Let's have a simple work meal in the restaurant downstairs. I have something else to ask you in the script."
With Viggo's words, Emelia could not refuse and immediately agreed. "Okay."
When they took the elevator, the four were together. Julian and Maisie got in the elevator first, so they were inside.
Emelia and Viggo were standing a little ahead. They did not speak and silently walked all the way to the first floor.
In the lobby on the first floor, Viggo said goodbye to Julian. "Mr. Hughes, we'll go first."
Emelia nodded at Julian and Maisie, then turned around and left with Viggo.
Julian stood where he was with his hands in his trouser pocket. He pursed his lips as he looked at the graceful figure.
Did she still eat lunch with other man in the end?
She ate with a man who liked her.
Maisie saw that he was staring in the direction where Emelia had left without saying a word and did not walk forward. She thought for a moment and suggested, "Mr. Hughes, it's getting late. This restaurant here tastes good. We can go back to the company after lunch?"
Julian's face relaxed. "Okay."
Julian and Maisie followed them into the restaurant.
As soon as Emelia and Viggo sat down face to face, they saw Julian and Maisie coming in. Emelia quickly looked down at the menu.
He was really haunting. He went to the same place to eat.
After that, Viggo also noticed Julian and Maisie coming over. He couldn't help smiling.
"Mr. Hughes, do you want to eat together?" Viggo made an invitation.
Emelia was on the verge of collapse. She would definitely suffer from indigestion if she ate with him.
"No, thank you." Unexpectedly, Julian looked away proudly and went to an empty table not far away with Maisie.
Viggo spread out his hands helplessly. No wonder Julian had lost Emelia. He was a conceited man.
In truth, Julian wanted to sit down and eat together, but when he saw the rejection on Emelia's face, as well as the disdain on her face, he immediately didn't want to sit down.
After all, he was the son of a noble family in Riverside City. The line of women who adored him could circle around Riverside City several times.
Being despised made him lose face.
After sitting down with Maisie, Julian was still full of anger.
Maisie was confused and confirmed with him again, "Mr. Hughes, don't we eat with them?"
Maisie guessed that Julian wanted to have dinner with Emelia, otherwise she would not have proposed to come to the restaurant and Julian wouldn't agree.
When Viggo invited them, they could sit down, but Julian refused.
Maisie couldn't figure out what her boss was doing.
"Just order the food." Julian ordered impatiently.
Maisie had no choice but to give up and take the menu to order.
Emelia and Viggo were having a nice chat. Although she could not hear what they were talking about, she could feel that the atmosphere between them was very good. Maisie secretly glanced at Julian opposite her and found that his face was even paler.
After the dishes were served, Julian only ate a few mouthfuls and put down his fork. After Maisie finished eating, he got up with Maisie. The meal lasted less than 30 minutes. Viggo asked in confusion, "Mr. Hughes, are you done?"
Julian glanced at him coldly, and then strode away without even looking at Emelia.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
