My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Emelia changed into comfortable clothes, intending to go on a shopping spree at the supermarket to prepare to write her script.

But as she was just about to leave the house, she received a phone call from a man named Maisie Brennan.

Maisie Brennan was another special assistant of Julian, and together with David Brennan, they were Julian’s right arms.

Maisie and David were twins, whom were said to have come from a poor family. And it was the charity foundation under the Hughes Group supported them to study aboard and cultivate them into elites.

Both of them joined the Hughes Group after graduation and worked diligently for the corporation together.

Maisie’s temperament was calm and introverted, and she was an uncompromising workaholic. So Julian would leave many important matters to her.

Maisie invited Emelia on the phone in a businesslike manner, “Ms. Jones, let’s meet and discuss this project together. I just took it over today and there are many things I don’t quite understand.”

Emelia happily agreed, “Okay.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She used to deal with Maisie a lot when she was still Mrs. Hughes, and her terms with Maisie was quite good.

Maisie added, “You could decide the time and place.”

Emelia happened to be going to the mall, so she picked the cafe in that mall and the two of them was going to meet there in twenty minutes.

Maisie was as competent and sharp as ever, and Emelia greeted her with a soft smile as she took her seat, “It’s been a long time. You’ve gotten prettier.”

Maisie, on the other hand, looked deeply at her before she said rather emotionally, “You are becoming more and more confident.”

At this, Emelia was surprised. Had she changed that much?

She could imagine how wretched and inferior she used to be living under Julian’s contempt.

Thinking about it she couldn’t help but say, “Walking away from the wrong person and putting an end to a wrong relationship are like being born again.”

Maisie’s brows slightly furrowed. Her boss had demanded that she had to report every word of their conversation to him.

She wasn’t sure whether to report what Emelia had just said.

After small talks, they got down to work and it was clear that Maisie was indeed going to take over the project from now on, so Emelia was completely relieved.

As long as she didn’t need to see Julian, she could stay away from troubles.

After talking about the business, Maisie took out two boxes of ointments from her bag and handed them to Emelia, “I heard that your arm was injured. I have ointments here that are quite useful for skin healing.”

Emelia didn’t expect Maisie to be so thoughtful to give her medicine. Although Harry had also left two boxes for her, she didn’t want to brush off Maisie’s kindness, so she took them, “Thank you.”

Maisie shook her head, “Never mind.”

Emelia added, “We are working partners now, so you should stop calling me Ms. Jones, just call me Emelia.”

In the past, she was the wife of Julian so Maisie always addressed her in a formal way, but now they were simply working together and it would be better to call her by her name.

Maisie thought for a moment, but nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

Emelia got up and said goodbye first because she had to go shopping.

After Emelia left, Maisie took her phone out and sent a message, “Mr. Hughes, the ointment has been sent out.”

Maisie then reported to Julian on the outcome of her discussions with Emelia, and everything went smoothly.

Maisie eventually did not repeat Emelia’s remark that Julian was the wrong person to her boss, because David told her he felt that their boss seemed to still have feelings for Emelia, his ex-wife. And with the fact that Julian had asked her to give the ointment to Emelia in her name, she agreed with David’s assumption. So, it was better for her to be cautious.

After shopping, Emelia went back for her script. Once the outline was set, the script needed to be refined, especially the characters’ lines, which needed to be worked out with great effort.

She stayed at home for about three days, and then received a call from Viggo, saying that the director had arranged to have dinner together in the evening.

She didn’t know whether Viggo did it deliberately or unintentionally, but he mentioned that Julian would not attend the dinner, because since it had been handed over to Maisie, it was natural for Maisie to get involved.

Therefore, Emelia agreed readily. The director of this show was quite famous, especially good at making period dramas, and if the director was also there, she could discuss some of the plot with him.

Emelia planned to take a taxi, but Viggo said he was on his way to pick her up, so she couldn’t only accept it.

As it was not a formal occasion, Emelia was dressed casually.

A pair of high-waisted denim trousers with a black crop top made her look beautiful and sassy.

Viggo smiled and complimented her after receiving her, “You look good, young and pretty.”

After being complimented by Viggo, Emelia blushed.

When she was with Julian in the past, she dressed in a gentlewoman style, and even looked like she was imitating Yvonne to some extent.

At that time, she thought Julian liked the kind of woman with Yvonne’s style, so she dressed instinctively in that style.

But in fact, she didn’t like wearing high heels or dresses at all. She liked canvas shoes and casual, comfortable clothes.

When they arrived at the restaurant and went in side by side, behind them in the car park, Julian’s eyes lit up as he stared at the slim figure in front of him and the exposed waist of her. Something was burning inside him.

Had she freed herself after the divorce?

She was dressed like that with her waist revealed. She wasn’t afraid that she might catch a cold in a room with the air conditioning on?

Seeing her waist and hips, his throat went dry as he watched, accidentally recalling the two wild and intense sex experiences they had had before the divorce.

One time, she was incredibly enthusiastic, and the other time it was secretive at the old house.

Julian raised his hand to undo a button on his neck to relieve some of the heat. This was probably the result of his lack of sex life in the past year, which was why he was thinking about his ex-wife.

Maisie reminded him at the right time, “Mr. Hughes, we’ve arrived.”

It was only then that Julian returned to his senses, unbuckled his seat belt and stepped into the restaurant with Maisie.

When Emelia and Viggo arrived at the private room, the director who was the host had already arrived, along with two assistant directors and other relevant people.

Because she was absent at the last meeting, Viggo took her to meet and introduce her to those people.

As soon as Emelia turned around, she saw Julian walking in with his long legs as the door was opened.

The man’s eyes were cold and he looked domineering.

He was in a simple white shirt and a pair of black trousers, his figure looked tall and straight.

Since it was not a formal occasion, the buttons of his shirt collar were left open. By a glimpse of his sexy Adam’s apple, the women who coveted him wished to approach him.

But Emelia didn’t have any thoughts of that kind, she only felt that her good mood was instantly ruined.
