Chapter 61 An Emergency Meeting
“Grandpa Hughes asked me to keep this a secret, but now I’m telling you. If you really didn’t pester her, she will have a very smooth blind date tomorrow. If you interfere, it means that you still love her.” Ezra said seriously.
Julian looked disgusted. “What a ridiculous judgment!”
“Ridiculous?” Ezra spread out his hands. “I don’t think so. Look at me, I have no interest in Emelia at all, so I sincerely wish her a successful blind date tomorrow. What about you?”
Julian snorted, “The same, of course.”
Ezra gave him a thumbs-up and then proposed a toast.
Respect!
Respect for this man’s stubborness.
The next morning, as soon as Emelia got up, he received a call from Grandpa Hughes.
He repeatedly reminded her on the phone that she must go to the appointment at noon.
Emelia didn’t have the heart to refuse his kindness and hurt his feelings, so she had to bite the bullet and agree.
When the time came, she would confess that she didn’t really want to fall in love.
At ten o’clock, Nina brought her personal make-up artist to the door. Emelia was busy writing her script and went to open the door in a slovenly look.
Nina sighed and pressed her back into the chair, “My lady, aren’t you going on a blind date at noon? It’s already ten o’clock, slick up now! What are you waiting for?”
Emelia rubbed her sore neck and said, “No need. Just show up clean and tidy, that’s enough.”
And she did a light make-up.
Nina rested her hand on her forehead, speechless. She called the makeup artist over to do Emelia’s hair.
Emelia was a bit confused. “Why are you so excited?”
Yesterday, Nina told Grandpa Hughes that she would help deck her out. Emelia thought that she was just joking. She never expected that Nina would really bring her makeup artist here.
Nina lazily leaned against her sofa and said, “What are you talking about? We usually have to do one or two hours of styling before attending parties. Your look is already very simple in my opinion.”
Emelia sighed. “It’s not easy to be a celebrity.”
However, as she looked at herself in the mirror that was slowly becoming more and more delicate and pretty, she could not help but recalling the past.
For so many years, she had only made efforts twice in dressing herself up .
The first time was on the day she went to register for her marriage with Julian.
With Nina’s help, she carefully selected a beautiful dress and also put on delicate makeup.
Nina, a so-called student of low achievement, thought for a long time and finally managed to come up with a phrase from Shakespeare to describe her: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Emelia was amused by her. Nina then said that her smile was very mesmerizing. After getting married, Julian should be enchanted by her smile.
It was a pity that Julian didn’t pay any attention to her that day.
He put on a poker face throughout the whole process. After completing the formalities and getting the registration done, he left without looking back.
Looking at the photo shot on that day, in which the man looked so gloomy while she looked so happy, her heart hurt so much.
The second time she got dressed up was on the anniversary celebration of the Hughes Group a year ago, in order to propose a divorce to Julian, as well as to make herself look more decent when leaving.
The first time was to get close to him, and the second time was to say goodbye to him.
And this one was for a blind date.
Emelia closed her eyes and let the skilled stylist to help her. She told herself that this could be considered a new start.
Grandpa said that the driver would come to pick up Emelia at half past eleven. It was almost the time when her styling was done, but Emelia received a call from Maisie Brennan.
“Emelia, let’s have a meeting later.”Maisie said on the phone, “Mr. Hughes fired Harvey Norman and the others. Mr. Johansen volunteered to be the director, so we have to hold a meeting to talk about this.”
Emelia was very surprised. “He fired Harvey and the others?”
Julian didn’t blame Yvonne, right? Why did he fire them?
“And, Mr. Johansen is going to be the director?” Maisie’s words shocked Emelia.
Maisie said, “Yes, I just got the news from Mr. Hughes.”
A change of director was a big deal for a TV program. Although the new director Viggo had been following up on this project, Emelia still felt that this meeting was very important.
So she immediately said to Maisie, “Where is the meeting? What time is it? I’ll be right there.”
Emelia completely forgot that she was going on a blind date. Seeing this, Nina was getting anxious.
Maisie said, “It’s still at Tymers Entertainment, starting at 11:30.”
Emelia looked at the time and agreed immediately. After hanging up, she heard Nina crying out, “Why is there a meeting all of a sudden? You’re still going on the blind date, aren’t you?”
“Maisie said that Julian had fired Harvey and his men, and Mr. Johansen would take the place as the director, so we should hold a meeting to discuss about this.” While explaining to Nina, Emelia went to grab her computer.
Nina was also a little confused. “Another director? And it’s Mr. Johansen himself?”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
What did this mean?
Did it mean that Julian liked Emelia, so he was annoyed by Harvey’s dirty hands?
Or did it mean that Viggo liked Emelia, so he volunteered to be the director in ordder that he could protect her throughout the project?
Nina rubbed her temples. The big bosses’ minds were really hard to guess.
Emelia had already packed up her things and came out with her bag. She glanced at Nina and said, “Are you going to the meeting too? Let’s go together?”
Nina looked at her phone and saw a message from her agent Sherlyn Lansdale who asked her to go to the company ASAP for a meeting.
She said regretfully, “I made such a stunning version of Emelia for nothing.”
Originally, she wanted Emelia to wow her date, but in the end, her plan was ruined by this meeting.
Not until Nina mentioned it did Emelia suddenly remembered that her makeup and clothes were too grand today. She quickly raised her hand and tried to uncoil the braid. “I’m going to a meeting. This is too much.”
Nina quickly stopped her. “What’s the big deal? Look at me, my makeup is heavier than yours.”
“Don’t uncoil it. It’s not easy to make it. You’d better go out and flaunt it for once.” Nina pulled her and said, “Let’s go, we’re alomost late.”
Emelia had no choice but to follow her.
She was wearing a simple and elegant white dress. Because she was going on a blind date, the dress was very dignified and elegant.
However, there was a gimmick at the waist. The hollow lace here made the woman’s waist partly visible. It was only for those women who have slender waists.
The stylist conjoured up a beautiful hair style for her short hair falling to the collarbone, which made her neck looked as elegant as a swam.
After getting into the car, Nina looked at her exquisite profile and sighed. “Dear Emelia, I really want to kiss your neck and earlobe.”
Emelia: “…”
What kind of blatent idea was that?
