Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 29

Chapter 29 At 9 AM the next day, inside the meeting room of Alpha Productions. This was the first official meeting for the historical drama, ‘The LoveStory of Imperial Consort Rose. It stood to reason that all the important parties ranging from the investors to the director and screenwriters should attend. That was especially true for the screenwriter. She was the protagonist of the day. Her role was to introduce the rough outline of the script and the overall direction of theproject to the bigwigs. When Trevor arrived with Crystal, Wesley raised his eyebrows at the sight and stood up to welcome them. In particular, he wanted to welcome Crystal. His smile was airy, but the meaning behind his words was cutting. “Miss Sanders, could it be that you are interested in our drama series?” Crystal hugged Trevor’s arm. Her smile under her delicate makeup was dignified and generous. “I’m a semi-retired person. How could I have the chance to be interested? I’m here to accompany Trevor.” She looked around the meeting room whilespeaking, quietly searching for Emma’s figure. Wesley glanced at Crystal and said nothing inore. Turning around, he showed Trevor and Crystal to their seats. When Trevor sat down, he surreptitiously glanced down at the watch on his wrist. The minute hand was almost pointing to the time when the meeting would begin, but acertain screenwriter was nowhere to be seen. Ten minutes later, the meeting officially began. However, Emma remained absent, Wesley stood up and apologetically announced to everybody. “My apologies, everyone.

The screenwriter is unable to come today, so I will be introducing the script to you today.” Trevor’s expression darkened slightly. Does she take the workplace for the marketplace? How can she skip a meeting just because? His expression was unhappy. Likewise, other people also expressed their disapproval. Crystal, who was sitting beside Trevor, spoke up with a lovely smile. “No way, President Zurich. This is the first meeting of this project. How can your screenwriter skip out on us just like that? Is that reasonable?” Wesley smiled andexplained, “I assure you that she is not choosing to skip out on us. I’m afraid an unforeseen accident really did come up on her end.” On the opposite side, Trevor’s eyebrowsfurrowed together slightly as soon as the words ‘an unforeseen accident’ came out of Wesley’s mouth. An unforeseen accident? Wasn’t her wrist that was scalded by coffee yesterday fine? Did something else happen to her? Thanks to the words ‘unforeseen accident, Crystal immediately felt humiliated. That was because her question just now had clearly been very aggressive. Will Trevor realize that I am deliberately targeting Emma? It had to be said that she had always maintained a generous, sensible,and tolerant image in front of Trevor. She never wanted him to think that she was a mean and selfish person. After Wesley provided the explanation, he walked over to stand at the front to begin presenting his slides. As soon as Emma learned that she could not make it, she immediately contacted him and passed the presentation slides that she preparedin advance to him via computer, Trevor suddenly asked, “Did the screenwriter mention what kind of accident it was that she couldn’t come?” Crystal’s hands clenched tightly under the table. Although Trevor’s question had been very professional, she had the strange feeling that he was worriedabout Emma.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

She did not know why she felt this way. It was obvious that Trevor had been dismissive toward Emma from the very beginning. Even so, a woman’s intuition was extremely accuratc. Wesley stood on the stage and answered the question unhurriedly. “I didn’t ask. After all, that is related to the employee’s personal privacy. I simply chose to respect and believe her.” To be honest, he knew exactly why Emma had failed to arrive in timetoday. Today was her mother’s death anniversary. Her mother was buried in the countryside. She had rushed down to the countryside last night, thinking that she could make it backin time for the meeting after paying her respects to her mother in the moming. Unexpectedly, the bus she was taking on her way back from the countryside had skidded and flipped over due to theheavy rainfall in the summer. Although she was certain she was not injured, the ambulance had sent everybody on the bus to the hospital for a collective examination. That was why she failed to arrive at the meeting on time.
