Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 50

Chapter 50 Emma looked at Susanna and nodded seriously. “I believe in your acting skills.” Susanna herself did not believe those words. She was born with a face that practically invited trouble and calmness, silence, and sincerity had nothing to do with her. Emma noticed Susanna’s hesitation and gently added, “Suzie, I know that there is a gentle and demure girl inside your heart.” The relationship between Emma and Susanna was formed in high school, so Emma knew Susanna’s good points better than anybody else. When she heard what Emma said, Susanna nearly burst into tears. The truth was that she was pure and reserved at heart. Although she worked in the vibrant and glamorous entertainment circle as well as always living on the cusp of life, she had always yearned for a peaceful and quict life. Her wish was to live a calm and serene life with the man she loved while enjoying the happiness of a comfortable day-to-day life! However, Susanna was born with such facial features. Everybody assumed that she was a flirtatious and immodest person to the point where some people even had the impression that she was an indecent person at first sight. Over time, even she herself believed that she was that kind of person. Therefore, Emma’s remarks today had touched the soft spot hidden in the deepest depths of her heart. She hugged Emma with reddened eyes. “If I can obtain this role, I will definitely play it well.” I will definitely live up to Emma’s expectations. I will also show the world another side of myself. Cerys presided over the meeting in which everybody discussed the topic with deep enthusiasm. In the end, they decided to proceed with Emma’s latest revised version of the script. At the end of the meeting, they video called Trevor since he was the actual boss behind the project after all. All the money for the investment would be provided by him. When the call connected, the image of a man sitting on a hospital bed in a blue-and white striped hospital gown appeared on the big screen of the conference room. It might be due to his illness, but the

sharp aura around him had weakened considerably compared to when he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. 1/4 Emma silently lowered her eyes. That’s what you get for not cherishing your body. Serves you right for being hospitalized. Trevor gave a simple speech, then he suddenly called Emma by name. “Emma.” Since she was being called by name so directly, she had no choice but to look up at the man on the screen with a polite and reserved smile on her face. “Mr. Bateman.” His profound and deep gaze landed on his face. “Both versions were brilliant. You’ve done an amazing job.” She was taken aback for a moment. It was difficult for her to imagine that he would praise her so generously, not to mention in front of so many people. “Thank you,” she thanked him in a low voice and lowered her eyes again. In the past, she used to be nothing to him. In the three years of their marriage, she had never heard him make a single nice comment about her in any aspect. It was as though the only value of her existence was in bed. Then, he continued, “You can try to use the previous version for another script and I believe it will be equally as exciting.” As soon as his words came out, one of the assistant directors laughed and joked, “Wow! Mr. Bateson, are you already asking our screenwriter for the next script?” Emma stared at Trevor in amazement only to see him returning the stare with a calm expression. “Of course, I would wish to do that if possible.” Everybody’s attention shifted toward Emma again due to Trevor’s statement. She quickly calmed down and replied with a slight smile, “Thank you for your praise, Mr. Bateson. Unfortunately, my ability to produce the scripts is limited. For the time being, I am only concentrating on completing the current drama and I have not thought much about the future.” I never want to work with him again in the next drama. Besides, what is wrong with him today? Doesn’tTêxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

he hate me? Shouldn’t he be wishing that he never saw me again? Wesley glanced at Emma seated quietly with her head lowered. Then, he turned to Trevor on the big screen and said, “Mr. Bateson, since you are not feeling well, we will not disturb you any further. We wish you a speedy recovery.” “Okay.” Trevor responded indifferently before he added, “If somebody does not anger me so much, I will definitely have a fast recovery.” She continued to keep her head lowered, but she could sense that Trevor’s statement was secretly accusing her. He was blaming her for upsetting him with the words she uttered that night. He is absolutely crazy. His gastric issues have always existed, so how can he blame me for them? After the meeting ended, Emma and Susanna walked out side by side. When Cerys came out of the meeting room, Susanna took the initiative to invite her. “Miss Penrose, let’s have dinner together. It’s my treat.” Cerys had supported Susanna in playing the role of the queen consort during the meeting today. Susanna had ultimately been chosen for the role, so she wanted to express her thanks to Cerys. Cerys was stunned for a moment. She never expected Susanna to invite her out for dinner in such an enthusiastic manner since she previously did not have much interaction with Susanna. Nevertheless, she responded to Susanna immediately. “I will check my schedule.” The truth was that she wanted to ask Trevor for directions. If Susanna was inviting her out for dinner, it was a given that Emma would be invited too. It was just that Emma was ‘Trevor’s ex-wife. On the other hand, Cerys was Trevor’s close subordinate. Would it be bad if she became too close to her employer’s ex-wise? “Sure. I’ll be waiting for your call.” Susanna waved at Cerys before she took Emma by the arm and left. Emma asked in a whisper, “Why did you suddenly invite Cerys out for dinner?” Susanna replied with a smile, “Didn’ı she support me in playing the role as the queen consort during the meeting earlier? I just wanted to thank her. Besides, I think she has quite a good personality. I want to befriend her.” Emma did not believe Susanna’s nonsense. “It’s true that Cerys has a great personality, but are you

sure you don’t have ulterior motives?” Susanna chuckled and admitted the truth. “Alright, alright. I admit that I have ulterior motives. Isn’t she a close subordinate of Trevor’s? I want her to see that you’re living a great life, and by extension, show Trevor that you are doing well. 1 want to piss him off.” Emma was extremely speechless. “He won’t care.” To Trevor, the existence of his ex-wife meant nothing to him. Even if she was doing well, he would not give her his blessings. On the contrary, he might even laugh at her if she was suffering. It was similar to how he had scorned her during their divorce as he believed that she would live like a pauper without him. A mysterious Susanna shook her finger. “This feeling can only be understood. It cannot be described in words.” In truth, she felt that Trevor’s feelings toward Emma were not that simple. As for why she felt that way, she could only attribute the feeling to a woman’s intuition. As soon as Cerys left Alpha Productions and entered her car, she immediately called Trevor and informed him about how Susanna had invited her to dinner. Trevor asked her faintly, “Why are you asking me?” + + Cerys answered truthfully, “Since Susanna asked me out for dinner, Emma is bound to attend as well. As your assistant, will it be bad if I have a relationship with your ex wife in private?” He continued to speak in an unhurried manner, “Cerys, this is about your own social circle. You can decide for yourself.” She suddenly understood the meaning behind his words. Seeing as he is not expressing any objections, does that mean he is tacitly agreeing that I should go? “Alright, I understand.” She happily agreed The truth was that she wanted to have dinner with Susanna and Emma very much because she had always felt that Emma was very nice. It was just that the

relationship between her employer and Emma was so tense that she didn’t dare to have much contact with Emma.
