Chapter 38 Julian Asks Her to Report Work
Harry’s words frightened Emelia. Harry was a big hit now. If a fan found his whereabouts and broke this news in the chatgroup, many people from the same neighborhood would come out and gather under her department building.
The mere thought of that image scared Emelia. She hurried to the window and discreetly pulled the curtains and she could see several young girls downstairs.
Emelia closed the curtains with an overwhelming headache and turned her head to ask Harry, “What do we do now?”
Compared to Emelia’s breakdown, Harry was extremely relaxed and calm.
He put his tall, leggy body into Emelia’s couch and gave a handsome smile, “Then I’ll stay here.”
Emelia was so anxious that she pulled her hair, “Having a man and a woman in the same room together. Can you imagine what the rumors would be like?”
Emelia thought it was acceptable for Harry to come and visit her, but it would be inappropriate to stay overnight.
Not to mention that Harry was a popular idol, in case fans found anything about her based on any clues, she would definitely be in trouble.
Harry reassured her, “There are so many occupants in this building, surely no one knows I am here with you.”
Still finding it unacceptable, Emelia urged him, “You should hurry up and contact your company and ask your agent to find a way to get rid of them, then you should hurry up and leave too.”
Harry hugged the pillow in her sofa and pitifully said, “I came all the way back, tired and sleepy. You have the heart to kick me out like this?”
Emelia sighed and said seriously looking at Harry, “You have to go, otherwise you’ll be ruined if something really goes wrong.”
Getting involved with a divorced woman, six years older than him, Harry would be ruined.
When Emelia was abroad before, Harry went to a few events where they met a few times and had a couple of meals together, but Emelia always treated Harry like her little brother.
Nina had once hinted to her that Harry might like her, but Emelia found it completely impossible.
For one thing, she hadn’t known Harry for very long, and for another, there was a six-year age gap between her and Harry, and such a relationship was too shocking for Emelia to accept.
Nina did not think so, “What’s wrong with you being six years older than him? Isn’t Julian also six years older than you?”
“Does the world only allow men to rob the cradle, but women can’t?”
Nina’s character has always been so unrestrained and unbridled that Emelia could not say anything more to her.
She can accept two people with a large age gap getting together, as long as she was not one of them.
Just as Emelia was getting anxious, Viggo made a call to her.
It was as if Emelia had grabbed a straw and was going to ask Viggo for help on what she should do in this situation.
Viggo had been a celebrity for many years and must have been well versed in dealing with such matters.
But before she could say anything, Viggo told her something else first, “I just got word from Julian.”
Emelia instantly tensed up and couldn’t care less about her current situation, all she could think about was the script, “What did he say?”
Viggo relayed, “He asked you to go to his company to find him, so that he can discuss the details with you, and he can judge whether the script is really feasible.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Emelia was confused, “Go talk to him now? Hasn’t he left the office?”
Viggo laughed, “Maybe President Hughes is a workaholic and is still working overtime at the company at this moment.”
As for whether it is really overtime or not, Julian himself was very clear about it, so was Viggo.
Emelia pinched her phone and bit her lips. It was quite awkward to share a room with Harry, but going to Julian to discuss the script was also hard for her, she didn’t want to face Julian alone at all.
