Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Theo Pearce, Trevor’s assistant who was standing by the side, took the initiative to speak when he saw that Trevor was silent for along time and didn’t seem to be in a good mood. “I never imagined that Mrs. Bateson…” When those words slipped out, he quickly corrected his mistake. “…Miss Yates would turn out to be Winter, the screenwriter. If you don’t wish to use her, I will contact President Zurich immediately.” He had worked for Trevor for many years, so he knew how much Trevor despised Emma. Although he felt that Emma was much easier to get along with compared to Crystal, there was nothing much an outsider could say when it came to relationships. Unexpectedly, Trevor stopped him. “No need.” Theo paused his step in astonishment. He thought that Trevor would not want to meet Emma at all. It had to be said that if Emma was the screenwriter, then they would be required todiscuss many things together. When that time came, his boss would need to meet with Emma frequently Trevor explained, “Since Wesley strongly recommended her, we should trust in her abilities. Besides, work and personal matters should be kept separate.” The implication behind his words was that he was a person who kept his work life and private life separate. Thus, he would not kick Emma out of the project just because of personal prejudice against her. Theo nodded. “Okay, I understand.” Then, he added, “Tomorrow will be this project’s first plenary meeting. Will you be altending?” “Yes.” Trevor had already started working on something else. In the midst of his hectic schedule, he lightly replied to Theo’s question. Theo responded before he turned around and went out to make the necessary arrangements. A different emotion flashed across Trevor’s narrowed eyes.

I’m going to see just what kind of script she produced tomorrow. Not long after Trevor immersed himself in his work, a phone call from Crystal came. Crystal protested in a soft and feminine tone from the other end of the phone. “Trevor, it’s been so long since you spent time with me.” He raised a hand and massaged his forehead. “I’ve been busy with work lately.” “Alright then.” She appeared to be very understanding. “Do you have anything scheduled for tomorrow?” He did not conceal anything from her and replied lightly, “I have ameeting for a new filming project tomorrow.” “A filming project?” She exclaimed happily and yearningly continued, “That’s great! How about I attend the meeting with you? Although I don’t really act anymore, I still have great interest in them.” He fell silent for a moment and finally said seriously, “Crystal, if you still want to continue acting, you can go ahead and continue acting.” Never once had he ever told her to stop acting or to quit the entertainment circle. It was she herself who suddenly claimed that she was tired of her job and wanted to quit. She had always looked regretful about quitting the entertainment circle because of him, but he never felt moved by her display at all. On the contrary, he felt very annoyed. She was the one who insisted on breaking up with him in order to prove that she was capable of making it big inthe entertainment circle back then, and she was also the one who said she wanted to quit now. Her flip flopping attitude irritated him greatly. After all, it was her selfish decision back then that had caused the fate of so many people to be rewritten. She was rendered speechless by his statement that came out of the blue. Nevertheless, she sinartly laughed and changed the subject. “Oh, come on. Just tell me whether you will bring me along with you.” A trace of irritation flashed across the depths of his eyes.

Since when did Crystal change and become so good at secretly making probing questions? It was not as though he could notdiscern the probing intention behind her words. Besides, he also knew that she would be aware of Emma’s return since Arianna knew. The reason she was so adamant about following him to the meeting tomorrow was to meet Emma. To be exact, it was to see whether there was anything going on between him and Emma. However, he agreed in the end. “Sure.” As for why he agreed, naturally, it was to agitate Emma and see if shehad really gotten over him.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
