Chapter 62 A Cringy Moment
“No! You don’t want to!” Emelia pushed Nina’s beautiful face away.
To her, Nina’s face was the one which would drive many men crazy.
Nina giggled. After laughing, she began to complain about Julian, “I really want to suggest Julian to check his eyes. Why refuse a woman like you who are both talented and gorgeous, but accept Yvonne, a downright scheming bitch.”
Emelia looked calm as she said, “Tastes differ. Love can’t be forced.”
Nina sighed, “Yeah yeah you sage.”
Emelia smiled. “After experiencing a heartbreaking, I had no other choice.”
It was too painful. Who would dare try that unreachable love again?
Nina propped up her chin with one hand and said in a dejected voice, “But why do I still miss him after experienced my heartbreaking?”
Emelia comforted her softly, “You and I are different. You two really love each other, but you had to separate because of reality. And you made the decision for his future.”
“Julian doesn’t love me. So I’m done thiking about it now, because it’s useless.”
“But you, you still have a chance.”
Her words delighted Nina very much.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Emelia took out her phone and called Grandpa Hughes. She was sorry to tell him that she suddenly had a meeting and really couldn’t go on the blind date.
Although Grandpa was very unwilling, he had to give up because he knew that Emelia’s mind was occupied with work.
When Emelia and Nina arrived at Tymers, they met two people in the hall. A female screenwriter of Tymers and her assistant.
The screenwriter’s pen name was Polaris. She had several years more of experience than Emelia.
It was said that she was once a very famous online novelist a few years ago. Catching up with the golden period when many online literary works were adapted into film and television dramas, she sold several novels she wrote.
One of the costume dramas had starred Viggo Johansen, who became a bit hit again with that drama.
After that drama, Viggo established Tymers and began to work behind the scenes. Polaris was also recruited by Viggo to be a scriptwriter at Tymers at that time. She could be regarded as a senior member.
However, in recent years, Polaris had not produced anything worth writing home about.
Among the novels that she had sold, only the costume drama, which was played by Viggo, had made it, while the rest of them were complete flops.
It was said that she sincerely wanted to become Kelaina’s student, but Kelaina refused her directly after reading her script.
Kelaina was a big shot in the scriptwriter circle, who was competent and experienced. The comment she gave Polaris was: garish and unintelligible.
Polaris was so pissed.
When Emelia first joined Tymers, she only worked part-time at the beginning, so she had only met Polaris once or twice in the past few years. Emelia could clearly feel that Polaris was hostile to her, but she didn’t take it seriously.
Now that they met again, Emelia greeted her humbly, “Hello, Ms. Polaris.”
Emelia was 26 years old, and Polaris seemed to be around 35. Although the age gap was not that big, Emelia still called Polaris in a respectful way.
Polaris nodded at Emelia with an indifferent expression, as a greeting.
The four of them turned around and left. Polaris’ assistant whispered to Polaris with disdain, “Some people get the project because of their appearance but not talent. They’re really bringing negativity to the circle.”
It was obvious who the assistant was mocking. Nina wanted to rush over and argue with them.
Emelia stopped her and shook her head.
Polaris’ reputation was not very good, no matter in the online literature world or the screenwriter circle. She was bellicose.
When she was still an online writer, she dominated all kinds of ranking lists on the platform. Once there were another writer who surpassed her, she would definitely start a war to mess with that writer.
Later, when she became a screenwriter, as a newbie, she didn’t dare fight against other screenwriters directly. She hired many internet trolls to defame her rivals.
She was a person who alway got jealous at those better than her, so Emelia didn’t want to provoke her.
After entering the elevator, Nina snapped: “Polaris was jealous that Mr. Johansen let you write ‘Princess Leilania’. Look at her ugly mean face! No one wants her even if she wants to sell her body. Except for the show that starred Mr. Johansen, did she create any other famous shows? If she can’t make any more achievements, Mr. Johansen will fire her sooner or later.”
Nina also had a sharp tongue, especially to those with evil intentions.
For the past few years, Nina knew better than anyone how diligent and earnest Emelia was.
After finishing her degree in drama and literature and graduated as an honor student, Emelia had been writing outlines and character bios for four years. Step by step, she finally became the lead writer in a project.
Polaris jumped into the scripwrting world without trained, and she rose to be a famous screenwriter overnight.
HOwevr, she was going downhill in her career.
Haste makes waste!
Emelia comforted her. “Don’t lower yourself to her level. Just do our work well. Time will tell.”
Nina sighed and shook her arm. “You are too gentle. You should be hard and tough, okay?”
The elevator just stopped on the floor they were going to. After the door opened, they walked out laughing.
Emelia teased Nina. “I’m not a man. I don’t have that kind of function.”
After she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Julian and Maisie standing not far away in the corridor.
Looking at Maisie suppressing her smile, it was obvious that she had heard her.
Emelia wanted to faint on the spot.
What kind of cringy moment was this?
Her joke was heard by her ex-husband.
The most terrible thing was that she used to be a graceful lady in front of her ex-husband. Even when she went to bed with him, she would blush and be nervous.
Now, Emelia could only brace himself to step forward.
Forget it, forget it. She no longer cared about her image in front of Julian.
Moreover, to a writer, dirty jokes were nothing.
What had they not read? What kind of scene hadn’t they written?
With this in mind, when she walked up to Julian, she had calmed down.
She looked up at Julian and Maisie and greeted them politely, “Mr. Hughes, Ms. Brennan.”
Julian looked a little surprised. He was shocked by her joke just now.
However, when she approached, the look in his eyes changed into amazement because of her look today.
But then, he felt upset again.
Julian knew that at noon, Emelia was supposed to go on a blind date. That was why she preened herself, right?
Well-dressed like this. Is she so eager to start a new relationship?
