Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart -
Chapter 425 Wrong Impression
They returned to the room. Olivia glanced at her gingerly. Then she picked up her laptop and walked to Emelia's bed. She said in embarrassment, "I have been in charge of a drama project recently. The storyline stretches from campus life to marriage. I wonder if you could take a look at it and give me your comments?"
Olivia seemed to ask her for help modestly, so Emelia had to agree, "Okay."
Hence, during the two-hour noon break, Emelia didn't nap. She held the laptop, reading Olivia's project.
Emelia finished reading it at noon and gave her some suggestions according to her experience.
Olivia accepted them modestly. "Okay. I'll edit it."
"Okay," Emelia answered.
She had been working in this field for many years. In the beginning, Kelaina mentored her in person. She had independently written the script for "Princess Leilania" and Vincent's new drama recently. Olivia was a green hand who had less than two years of experience in this field, so Emelia didn't mind giving her some suggestions.
Two days later, Olivia finished editing her project according to Emelia's suggestions. Emelia read it again and felt that it had become much better.
She praised Olivia generously. Olivia was overjoyed. She said to Emelia with a smile, "Since you like my project, can you recommend it to Mr. Hughes on my behalf?"
Emelia was taken aback.
Olivia wanted her to recommend her project to Julian?
Emelia had never done such a thing before. She had only met Olivia a few days ago. Olivia tried to pry open the door of Julian's investment through her relationship. Emelia didn't think it was proper. Although she liked Olivia's script, it wasn't that excellent to meet the standards to win HGH's investment.
Seeing that she was shocked, Olivia had a hidden trace of impatience flashing through her eyes. Then she looked upset and added, "No way, Honey. Don't you want to help me?
"We've been roommates for a whole week. I've taken you as my bestie. Mr. Hughes is obedient to you now. You can just put on good words for me."
Upon hearing her words, Emelia had a strong sense of moral kidnapping.
Why should she help Olivia just because Julian loved her and Olivia treated her as the so-called bestie?
Emelia was quite annoyed by her words.
Julian invested in a drama or movie to make profits. Olivia's script couldn't become a blockbuster at all. Emelia was unwilling to suffer a loss because of the investment.
She didn't want Julian to be deceived on account of his generosity.
Although Julian didn't lack money, he couldn't spend money recklessly.
Even Julian wanted to waste money. He earned money by his own effort. Emelia would feel sorry for him if he was deceived.
"Olivia." Emelia was calm. "Here is the thing. I felt embarrassed to tell you earlier.
"Your script with the story from the campus life to the wedding is popular in the market. However, the plots are too plain without any eye-catching moments. It hasn't reached the investment standards of HGH." Olivia also knew the high quality of the dramas and movies invested by HGH. Otherwise, HGH wouldn't have had such a good reputation.
Olivia looked annoyed. "I see. I got it. I know it's because I'm not well-known."
Emelia frowned and said unhappily, "You've misunderstood. I didn't mention your fame earlier. I just told you HGH paid a lot of attention to the quality of the scripts.
"If you want your script to be picked up by the Hughes Group, you should write better scrips and work harder on the plots. If you have an eye-catching script, the Hughes Group will definitely see it."
Emelia felt that Olivia seemed to become a different person after she turned Olivia down. Olivia also twisted the fact. Emelia hadn't mentioned her fame at all.
Olivia chuckled. "I thought you'd read it and modify it for me. Then the Hughes Group can also be interested in it."
Emelia was choked in anger. She was irritated by Olivia's thoughts.
She had just helped Olivia modify her script and gave her some suggestions. Olivia seemed to want to bind her with the script forcibly.
Emelia couldn't retort her because she was too angry.
Right then, her phone rang. It was a call from Julian.
Emelia took the chance to pick up the phone. Earlier, she answered the phone on the room's balcony, but she didn't want to stay in the room any longer. She directly took her phone out of the room. Julian said, "I've just landed in the Capital. Let's have dinner together tonight, shall we?"
Julian had told her that he would make time to see her. It would be the weekend the following day, so he had come to the Capital city as promised.
"We've been busy studying in the past few days. It's the weekend tomorrow. We will have a group dinner tonight." Emelia was upset by Olivia's words and attitude earlier, so she sounded a bit frustrated. Julian could tell it from her tone. He asked, "What happened? Are you in a bad mood?"
Emelia didn't expect him to notice it. She had been trying hard to suppress her anger. She didn't want to tell Julian about her conflicts with Olivia.
Hence, she denied it with a low voice, "Nah."
She hadn't been so fragile to tell Julian about her small argument with another person.
Julian paused a bit on the phone. Later, he said in disappointment, "If you feel upset because I've come to see you, let's not meet. I know you're busy studying."
Emelia didn't expect him to misunderstand that she was unwilling to meet him. She immediately explained, "It has nothing to do with you, Julian. Just some trifles."
"You've just landed. You should take a rest first." Emelia planned to tell the dinner organizer tonight that she wouldn't join them.
Due to what Olivia had done and said, Emelia was unwilling to join the group dinner in the evening. She realized she had made a mistake regarding what kind of person Olivia was.
The schemes in Olivia's mind didn't match the simplicity and innocence shown on her face.
After ending her call with Julian, Emelia took a deep breath and returned to her room.
However, when she stood at the door and was about to swipe the car to enter, she overheard Olivia speaking.
Behind the door, she said, "I'm so annoyed. I didn't expect Emelia Jones to be so stubborn. I've trying to fawn over her for a whole week, but she still doesn't want to recommend my scrip to Julian Hughes.
"Are you kidding me? Why would I make friends with such a woman? I'm using her. After my goal is achieved, I'll kick her away."
Olivia seemed to be confident that Emelia would talk with Julian on the phone for a long time, so she spoke wantonly. Her voice was much louder than usual.
However, her every word stabbed Emelia's heart heavily.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
