Julian dropped the phone, meaning that his talk with Viggo fell apart.
Viggo did not call him again. Ezra gave his analyses while stroking his own chin, “Mr. Johansen is really good to Emelia.
"By reason, you are the investor, Viggo only has to please you. Even if there is a conflict with the scriptwriter and the script, basically only the scriptwriter will go away, but he required the investor to change the person in charge.”
In Ezra's opinion, the reason why Viggo was so arrogant to Julian was either because Emelia was really talented or Viggo liked Emelia.
It was not about a boss standing up for his subordinates, but a man defending the woman he liked.
Julian gave him a blank look, grabbed the bottle and poured himself a glass of alcohol.
He had long realized that Viggo took a fancy to Emelia, but he did not expect that Viggo would take the risk to confront him, the investor, for Emelia.
When Ezra saw how much he was drinking, he simply asked the waiter to remove the alcohol, in case he wouldn't get into any serious stomach problems, because now there was no one to look after him.
Although Julian was with Yvonne, Yvonne herself was a young lady who had to be taken care of everything, she didn’t know how to take care of Julian.
Yvonne was currently in semi-retirement and acted like a virtuous wife who would cook for her partner, but it was just an illusion to fool people.
It could be told from the details that whether Yvonne was heartful to Julian. When Emelia first married Julian, she did not know how to cook, but due to Julian's stomach problems, she learned how to cook well and had been preparing three meals a day for Julian ever since.
What about Yvonne?
Ezra felt that she was just making a show of posting photos on her Instagram, and as to whether Yvonne's cooking was edible or not, only she herself would know.
Ezra did not believe that someone as shrewd as Julian could not see Yvonne's perfunctory pretense, or could it be that Julian only like Yvonne's appearance?
Yvonne's face and body were considered one of the best among women, so if Julian only liked those about her, there was actually nothing wrong with it.
Men do like pretty women.
Ezra glanced at Julian's unhappy expression and didn't say anything else to irritate him.
Emelia had a busy night. A popular young actor came to visit her and a mature movie star defended her. She wondered if Julian would feel she was lusting after him.
Emelia stayed at Nina's place for the night and the two of them drank a lot, but it didn't affect Emelia at all to get up the next morning and prepare a hearty breakfast for Nina.
Nina slurped as she ate, "Thanks to Julian, I can now taste your cooking from time to time, you used to cook only for Julian before."
Emelia just smiled and didn't say anything, she felt that it was silly that she used to devote herself to Julian before, so she did not want to mention it.
Nina asked her, "Have you really decided to quit the show?"
Emelia lowered her eyes, her tone self-deprecating, "It took me a year to get over the pain of losing my love and marriage. Those people and those things were my nightmare. Seeing them reminded me of how lowly I used to be, and I hate myself being like that."
"So it's better to quit. I will be peaceful if we have no contact."
Emelia chose to take on the script at first, knowing that it was Julian's investment, because she felt she could draw a line under business.
But there were so much troubles right at the beginning, and even though she was trying to draw a line, it didn't seem to work because of Yvonne.
