Please Come Back Honey! Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Trevor turned to leave while Susanna was internally panicking about the thought she just had. “Pfft!Ugh!” she muttered under her breath when she saw the man's straight figure turning away. Why ishe talking about fate? If anything, they're fated not to be together! After all the suffering he madeEmma go through, fate will never bring them together again! Meanwhile in Wesley's office, Emmaand Wesley were having a small talk before he brought the topic to her. “President Bateson washere earlier. Did you guys meet?” He knew about Trevor and Emma's past, which was why he askedthe question. “Yeah,” she replied with a calm nod. He thought about it for a moment before hecontinued speaking, “He came to sign an agreement with me earlier. The company is planning towork on a historical drama and he’s the sponsor for it.”

She smiled as she asked him the first question that popped into her mind. “You are thinking ofgetting me to be the scriptwriter, aren't you?” If that isn't the case, you wouldn't have told me whathe was here for.” Wesley smiled in return. “Well, I don't see a reason to talk in circles since you'vealready guessed where this is going. I can get another scriptwriter to do the job if you don't feelcomfortable interacting with him. However, I personally think that you're perfect for this project.This series will involve mainly female actresses and I think you're a mature and calm individual whois also specialized in writing scripts that tug on the audience's heartstrings. I bet this series will be ahuge hit if you do a good job.” After hearing his project proposal, she let out a polite smile. “Thankyou for the praise, President Zurich. I would've taken the job even if you didn't say all these kindwords. Work is work; I won't allow my personal feelings to affect my job.”

After all, Trevor was only a stranger to her. She was not about to give up on a job opportunity forthe sake of a stranger. That year, she had managed to work on a few series, but most of them hadonly gained a limited amount of recognition in the field. She would only be satisfied if she couldcome up with a grand hit of a series. “That's great,” Wesley uttered while gazing at the womanadmiringly. When they met a year ago, Emma's gaze had been filled with the hurt and sorrow froman unfulfilling marriage. However, she was now filled with confidence and joy which she neverpossessed in the past. Judging by the confidence she radiated and how well she had dealt with herdivorce, Wesley was certain that she would be able to handle her work, including any necessaryinteractions with Trevor.

As such, he handed a copy of the project proposal to her after she had agreed to the job. Sheflipped through the proposal for a while before asking him, “Is Crystal the female lead of thisseries?” Truth be told, Emma was not asking this because it bothered her, but she simply wanted toknow who the female lead was in order to have a better rough vision when she was writing thescript. Furthermore, ever since Trevor started the production department in Bateson Group, Crystalhad been the female lead for all of the shows. Naturally, she assumed that Crystal would be the leadfor this series as well. “Crystal has stopped taking jobs for a while,” Wesley replied before pausingfor a moment. “I heard that she's about to prepare for her marriage into the Bateson Family,” headded. “That's true.” Emma curled her lips into a bitter smile. I've divorced him for a year now, so hehas every right to marry Crystal. I guess this is good. At least without Trevor on set, I'd be able toavoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and awkward moments.
