If it wasn't for her calmness and reason, Emelia would have splashed the wine in Julian's face.
Although she restrained herself, she would no longer knuckle under to him.
Facing Julian's displeased gaze, she smiled, and then said calmly, "Yes, I'm just trying to gain attention from everyone."
"I want all eyes on me. I want them to invest in my scripts. In that way, I can become famous. What's wrong with that?"
Since he thought she was the kind of unscrupulous person, she might as well confirm his opinion.
Anyway, now that he had nothing to do with her, why would she bother to explain anything?
Hearing Emelia admit it uncharacteristically, Julian pursed his lips in silence.
He frowned and stared at Emelia. His dark eyes reflected no light that no one could see the emotions inside.
Viggo chimed in at the right moment, "Mr. Johansen, Mr. Cantillo, we have something else to do. Please excuse us"
After Viggo finished speaking, he took Emelia away. Emelia turned around decisively without giving Julian another look.
After walking away for a few steps, Viggo asked Emelia in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Julian's words were really mean.
Normally, for a powerful man like Julian, he should know very well what was inappropriate to say in a certain occasion. But why did he hurt Emelia like that?
The only explanation was that he cared about her so much that even his judgement was affected by it.
Emelia smiled and replied, "I'm fine."
She was really fine.
At first, she was really annoyed by Julian's words, but she was soon relieved.
Viggo sighed, "Mr. Hughes seems to be targeting you deliberately, I don't know he was doing this out of love or hate..."
Emelia gave a self-mocking dry laugh, "How could it be love? It must be hatred and disgust."
He hated her, so he said all those words to sneer at her.
Behind them, Ezra took a sip of wine and asked Julian in confusion, "Well, why do you have to hurt each other like that?"
It's true that Julian's words hurt Emelia, but Emelia's admission without defending herself also hurt Julian.
Because she didn't even bother to defend herself, it meant that she didn't care about Julian at all.
But in Ezra's opinion, Julian just stewed in his own juice.
He did say those mean words. He asked for it.
Julian was clearly surprised by Emelia's outfit today.
He didn't want her to be so conspicuous and be stared by so many men, but what he blurted out was nothing but harsh words.
Typical Julian, his bark was worse than his bite.
There was a faint trace of annoyance in Julian's eyes, and an indescribable feeling of frustration rose in his heart.
Recently, everything he did in front of Emelia seemed to be wrong. This was something never happened in his thirty-two years of life.
Ezra raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and spoke earnestly, "This is what they called karma. If you still stick to the arrogant attitude like you treated Emelia before, I'm afraid the relationship between the two of you will become worse and worse."
Then, Ezra left to talk with others.
Julian raised his head and drank his wine. Suddenly he saw Yvonne walking towards him.
Yvonne stayed in the bathroom for a long time and couldn't get through to Caroline, so she had no choice but to come out in a low mood.
She originally wanted to stay away from those ladies who had just talked to her and secretly went to find Caroline.
Unexpectedly, they saw her, and they were asking her to go over again.
