Chapter 28 Isn't he really letting go?
The assistant David Brennan on the side saw that Julian hadn't spoken for a long time, and that his
face was rather grim, so David took the initiative to say, “I didn't expect Ms. Hughes to be…”
But he soon realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself, “Miss Jones turned out to be the
screenwriter Wintry Frost. If you don't want to hire her, I will contact Mr. Johansen immediately.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
David has been with Julian for many years, and he know very well how much Julian was sick of Emelia.
Although David thought Emelia was much easier to get along with than Yvonne, it's none of his concern
about the relationships between the three.
But he didn’t expect Julian to stop him, “No need.”
David paused in surprise. He thought Julian didn’t want to see Emelia at all. If Emelia became their
screenwriter, they would have to meet her more frequently.
Julian explained, “Since Mr. Johansen strongly recommended her, of course we have to believe in her
ability. Besides, business was business, there’s nothing personal.”
The implication was that he was aware of personal stuff and business. He would not kick her out of this
project because of his personal prejudice against Emelia.
David nodded, “Okay, I get it.”
Then he said, “Tomorrow is the first plenary meeting of this project, do you want to attend?”
“Yeah.” Julian had a jam-packed schedule. Hearing this, David noted it down and left to make
arrangements.
A trace of different emotions flashed across Julian's eyes. He would see for himself what kind of script
she had written tomorrow.
Soon after Julian started working, Yvonne called.
Yvonne protested softly on the other end of the phone, “Julian, you haven't accompanied me for a long
time.”
Julian raised his hand to massage his forehead, “I've been a little busy with work these days.”
“Okay.” Yvonne seemed very sensible, “Do you have any plans for tomorrow?”
Julian didn't hide anything, and faintly replied, “Tomorrow there will be a meeting for a new TV drama
project.”
“A new TV show?” Yvonne exclaimed happily, and then she said eagerly, “Great, let me attend the
meeting with you. Although I don't work as an actress now, I am still interested in it.”
Julian was silent for a while, and finally he said seriously, “Yvonne, if you want to continue your acting
career, do proceed.”
Julian never said that Yvonne should quit her jobs and stay out of showbiz. It was Yvonne who
suddenly said that she was tired of the industry and wanted to quit.
Yvonne always showed the regret of quitting the business for him. But he was not touched at all.
On the contrary, he found it distasteful. She was the one who insisted on breaking up with him in order
to prove that she was capable of gaining a foothold in showbiz. But she was also the one who said that
she wanted to quit.
Yvonne's contradictory decisions annoyed Julian, because her selfish decision at the beginning caused
the fate of so many people to be rewritten.
Yvonne was choked by Julian’s word but she then smartly changed the subject, “Come on honey, just
tell me whether I can participate or not.”
A trace of boredom flashed across Julian' eyes. When did Yvonne started hiding her emotion and
started tempting him?
It's not that he couldn't hear the temptation in Yvonne's words. He also believed that since Caroline
knew that Emelia was back, Yvonne must know that too.
Yvonne wanted to follow him to the meeting tomorrow. Her purpose was to meet Emelia, or to see if
there was anything between him and Emelia.
However, Julian eventually agreed, “Okay.”
As for why he would, of course it was because he wanted to stimulate Emelia, to see if she was really
over him.
