Female Novel
Chapter 9
Chapter 9Trevor 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 is hetalking about fate? If anything, they’re fated not to be together! After all the suffering he made Emma gothrough, fate will never bring them together again! Meanwhile in Wesley’s office, Emma and Wesleywere having a small talk before he brought the topic to her. “President Bateson was here earlier. Didyou guys meet?” He knew about Trevor and Emma’s past, which was why he asked the question.“Yeah,” she replied with a calm nod. He thought about it for a moment before he continued speaking,“He came to sign an agreement with me earlier. The company is planning to work on a historical dramaand he’s the sponsor for it.”She smiled as she asked him the first question that popped into her mind. “You are thinking of gettingme to be the scriptwriter, aren’t you?” If that isn’t the case, you wouldn’t have told me what he was herefor.” Wesley smiled in return. “Well, I don’t see a reason to talk in circles since you’ve already guessedwhere this is going. I can get another scriptwriter to do the job if you don’t feel comfortable interactingwith him. However, I personally think that you’re perfect for this project. This series will involve mainlyfemale actresses and I think you’re a mature and calm individual who is also specialized in writingscripts that tug on the audience’s heartstrings. I bet this series will be a huge hit if you do a good job.”After hearing his project proposal, she let out a polite smile. “Thank you for the praise, PresidentZurich. I would’ve taken the job even if you didn’t say all these kind words. Work is work; I won’t allowmy 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 for thesake of a stranger. That year, she had managed to work on a few series, but most of them had onlygained a limited amount of recognition in the field. She would only be satisfied if she could come upwith a grand hit of a series. “That’s great,” Wesley uttered while gazing at the woman admiringly. Whenthey met a year ago, Emma’s gaze had been filled with the hurt and sorrow from an unfulfillingmarriage. However, she was now filled with confidence and joy which she never possessed in the past.
Judging by the confidence she radiated and how well she had dealt with her divorce, Wesley wascertain that she would be able to handle her work, including any necessary interactions with Trevor.As such, he handed a copy of the project proposal to her after she had agreed to the job. She flippedthrough the proposal for a while before asking him, “Is Crystal the female lead of this series?” Truth betold, Emma was not asking this because it bothered her, but she simply wanted to know who thefemale lead was in order to have a better rough vision when she was writing the script. Furthermore,ever since Trevor started the production department in Bateson Group, Crystal had been the femalelead for all of the shows. Naturally, she assumed that Crystal would be the lead for this series as well.“Crystal has stopped taking jobs for a while,” Wesley replied before pausing for a moment. “I heard thatshe’s about to prepare for her marriage into the Bateson Family,” he added. “That’s true.” Emma curledher lips into a bitter smile. I’ve divorced him for a year now, so he has every right to marry Crystal. Iguess this is good. At least without Trevor on set, I’d be able to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble andawkward moments.novelbin
