The assistant David Brennan on the side saw that Julian hadn't spoken for a long time, and that his face was rather grim, so David took the initiative to say, “I didn't expect Ms. Hughes to be…”
But he soon realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself, “Miss Jones turned out to be the screenwriter Wintry Frost. If you don't want to hire her, I will contact Mr. Johansen immediately.”
David has been with Julian for many years, and he know very well how much Julian was sick of Emelia.
Although David thought Emelia was much easier to get along with than Yvonne, it's none of his concern about the relationships between the three.
But he didn’t expect Julian to stop him, “No need.”
David paused in surprise. He thought Julian didn’t want to see Emelia at all. If Emelia became their screenwriter, they would have to meet her more frequently.
Julian explained, “Since Mr. Johansen strongly recommended her, of course we have to believe in her ability. Besides, business was business, there’s nothing personal.”
The implication was that he was aware of personal stuff and business. He would not kick her out of this project because of his personal prejudice against Emelia.
David nodded, “Okay, I get it.”
Then he said, “Tomorrow is the first plenary meeting of this project, do you want to attend?”
“Yeah.” Julian had a jam-packed schedule. Hearing this, David noted it down and left to make arrangements.
A trace of different emotions flashed across Julian's eyes. He would see for himself what kind of script she had written tomorrow.
Soon after Julian started working, Yvonne called.
Yvonne protested softly on the other end of the phone, “Julian, you haven't accompanied me for a long time.”
