Female Novel
Chapter 19
Chapter 19Susanna had spent most of her recent days filming on set in Jonestown. Emma went to visit herscriptwriting teacher, Eleanor Dawson while visiting Susanna on one of her filming days. Being ascriptwriter wasn’t as easy as it sounded—one couldn’t just come up with the script for an entire movieafter learning about scriptwriting. Ever since Susanna got Emma into this industry, Emma had beenlearning under Eleanor.Just drafting the overall storyline of the script took Emma two years to master, and she later proceededto split the script into its individual scenes before learning how to develop scripts on her own. Emmahad started working on all of this since she got married to Trevor. Fortunately, this job didn’t require herto go to work, so she still managed to fulfill her duties as Trevor’s wife while maintaining a tiny hobby ofher own.After receiving the most recent job from Wesley, Emma felt like she couldn’t handle things on her own,so she figured that she would get Wesley to hire Eleanor as the lead scriptwriter, while Emma workedunder Eleanor to deal with the easier tasks. However, both Wesley and Eleanor agreed that Emma wasready to be the sole scriptwriter of a project after four years of training. Their acknowledgment andsupport gave Emma a lot of confidence.While they had this conversation, Eleanor had suggested that Emma could go to her for help if sheever needed it. So, Emma decided to pay Eleanor a visit while also visiting Susanna at work. Beforeher trip there, Emma prepared some home-cooked food for Susanna. After her three years assomeone’s wife, Emma’s cooking skills were sufficient to land her a job as a chef.When Emma arrived at the set, Eleanor was having a meeting with the director, so Emma went to meetSusanna first. They had just chatted for a short while when they heard a commotion happening nearby.Susanna gazed in the direction of the noise with a rather disdainful look in her eyes. “I bet that idiot,Arianna, is here again.” “Arianna Bateson? What would she be doing here?” Emma couldn’t concealthe hatred in her eyes upon the mention of Arianna.Arianna was Trevor’s sister and Crystal’s good friend—she was also the one person who had causedEmma the most trouble throughout the three years Emma had been married to Trevor. Arianna wasn’t
just rude and scornful toward Emma; she would even insult and put Emma down in front of Trevor’sparents and the rest of their extended family. That was why everyone except Christopher had a horribleimpression of Emma. Arianna didn’t have a direction in life after graduating from university, but shemanaged to get into the film department that Trevor had founded because of her good looks.It was an undeniable fact that everyone in the Bateson Family was blessed with good-looking genes.Arianna was a beauty, but she didn’t have any brains or acting skills. As such, she barely made itanywhere with her career. All she could do was use her countless boyfriends to attract the public’sattention. Many of these men were willing to date Arianna since she had a really influential brother. Aslong as Trevor was looking out for her, Arianna wouldn’t need to worry, even if she couldn’t build herfame in the film industry. Presently, Susanna spoke in a hostile tone. “Her new boyfriend is one of thesupporting characters in our cast. He’s famous for going after rich women.”Emma was speechless. There wasn’t a single person she hated more than Arianna. Truth was shewouldn’t have come if she had known that Arianna was going to be around. “By the way, I’d like toremind you that Arianna would most probably secure a role in the new drama that you’re working onsince Trevor is the sponsor for that drama,” Susanna muttered. In other words, Susanna was remindingEmma to be more alert while working on the drama, as Susanna was worried that Arianna might bullyEmma. Upon hearing that, Emma simply let out a scoff.Arianna can get all arrogant and cocky around me if she wants to, but I’m not going to tolerate heranymore! I’m no longer the old Emma. I’m no longer the woman who would allow her lover’s sister andmother to shame her for the sake of pleasing her lover. Emma was just thinking about her past whenshe heard a sharp voice piercing through her eardrums. “Emma? When did you come back? What areyou doing here? Do you think random people are allowed into the filming set?” Emma didn’t need toturn around to know that it was Arianna who was talking. She had listened to the same, high-pitchedvoice for the past three years, so she would be able to recognize it anywhere.novelbin
