Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 50

Emelia looked at Nina and nodded seriously, "I think you can act well."

Not even Nina herself believed it. She was born with a face which predestined her to be away from tranquility.

Emelia saw her concern and added softly, "Nina, I know there is a gentle and quiet girl who lives in your heart."

The relationship between Emelia and Nina had been built up since high school, and Emelia knew better than anyone how wonderful Nina was.

Nina almost cried out at Emelia's words.

She was indeed simple and conservative at heart, and although she was in the complicated showbiz and always living in the limelight, she longed for a serene life.

She hoped she could live a peaceful life with the man she loved.

But because of her face, everyone thought she was charming and sultry, and some even thought she was debauched from the first moment they saw her.

In time, she herself thought she was that kind of person.

She hugged Emelia and said with red eyes, "If I can get this role, I will definitely do my best."

To live up to Emelia's expectations of her and to show everyone a different side of her.

Maisie chaired the meeting. After a heated debate, it was finally decided that they would use the new script.

At the end of the meeting, a video call was made to Julian, who after all was the big boss behind the project and paid for all the investment.

When the call was answered, the large screen in the conference room showed a picture of a man sitting on a hospital bed in a hospital gown.

Perhaps because of his illness, his usually stern face was now much softened.

Emelia silently lowered her eyes.

He didn’t care for his own body and deserved to be in hospital.

Julian briefly said a few words, and then suddenly named Emelia, "Emelia."

Being named directly by him like this, Emelia had to raise her eyes to look at the man in that screen, and put a polite smile on her face, "Mr. Hughes."

The man's deep, distant eyes fell on her face, "Both versions are brilliant and wowing."

Emelia was stunned for a moment. She could hardly imagine that Julian would praise her without mincing words in front of so many people.

"Thanks." She said and then lowered her eyes.

Once she was nothing in the eyes of Julian.

In three years of marriage, she had never heard nice words from him, in any way, as if the value of her existence was only in bed.

Julian added, "You can try to extend the old version and make up another story, I believe it will be just as good."

After Julian's words fell, an assistant director at the side smiled and joked, Mr. Hughes, is this your intention to make an appointment with our scriptwriter for the next script?"

Emelia looked at Julian in shock, and saw him staring at her and saying calmly, "Of course I want to, if I can."

Everyone looked at Emelia because of Julian's words, and Emelia quickly calmed down.

She responded with a light smile, "Thank you, Mr. Hughes, but I'm limited in my ability, so I'm just concentrating on the task at hand for now, and I'm not thinking too much about the future."

In the next project, Emelia did not want to work with Julian again.

She didn’t know what kind of madness Julian was going through, wasn't he disgusted with her? Shouldn't he hate seeing her?

Viggo glanced at Emelia who was sitting quietly with lowered eyes, turned his head to look at Julian in the big screen and said, "Mr. Hughes, since you are not feeling well, we will not disturb you and wish you a speedy recovery."

"Okay." Julian added after his response, "I'll get better quickly if someone doesn’t make me angry."

Emelia's eyes were still downcast, but she could sense that Julian's words were a veiled accusation against her, against the words she had said that night that had pissed him off.

Emelia thought he was a psycho, his bad stomach problem existed in itself, and he blamed her for it.

After the meeting, Emelia walked out side by side with Nina.

When Maisie came out, Nina took the initiative to invite her, "Ms. Brennan, let's have dinner together tonight, my treat."

During the meeting today, Maisie strongly supported Nina to play the role of princess consort, and the final result did settle on Nina, so Nina wanted to thank Maisie.

Maisie froze for a moment, not expecting Nina to enthusiastically ask her to join her for dinner; she had had little contact with Nina before.

But she then responded to Nina, "I'll check the schedule."

In fact, Maisie wanted to consult Julian. Nina would definitely bright Emelia with her for dinner, but Emelia was Julian's ex-wife, and she was Julian's employee, would it be inappropriate to get too close to his ex-wife?

"Okay, I'll wait for your call." Nina waved her hand at her, then walked away holding Emelia's arm.

Emelia whispered and asked Nina, "Why did you invite Maisie to dinner?"

Nina said with a smile, "She just supported me in the meeting to play the princess consort too, didn't she? This is my way of thanking her."

"Also, I think Maisie has a nice personality and I want to make friends with her."

Emelia didn't believe Nina's bullshit, "Maisie's personality is indeed quite good, but are you sure you don't have other intentions?"

Nina giggled and admitted it, "Okay, okay, I admit that I have other intentions. Isn't she Julian's employee, I want her to see that you're doing well, thus letting Julian know that you're doing well too, to piss him off."

Emelia was speechless, "He won’t care."

She was of no consequence to Julian.

If she had a good time, Julian would not wish her well, and if she had a bad time, maybe Julian would even laugh at her.

Just as he treated her with contempt during the divorce, believing that she could only be miserable without him.

Nina mysteriously wagged her finger at her, "This feeling is something that can only be understood but not expressed."

Nina actually felt that Julian's heart for Emelia was not simple.

As to why she felt that way, she could only say that it was with a woman's intuition.

After Maisie left Tymers and got into her car, the first thing she did was to call Julian and tell him about Nina's invitation to dinner.

Julian asked her, "Why do you need to ask me?"

Maisie told the truth. "Nina will definitely bright Emelia with her, and I, as your assistant, have personal encounters with your ex-wife, will it not be good?"

Julian continued, "Maisie, this is your social life. It's up to you."

Maisie suddenly understood her boss's meaning, since he did not express any objection, it meant that he tacitly agreed that she could go?

"Okay, I got it." Maisie happily agreed, and she actually wanted to have dinner with Nina and Emelia.

She used to think that Emelia was very nice, but with her boss and Emelia having such a rocky relationship, it wasn't appropriate for her to get in touch with Emelia too much.
