Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 44

Emelia looked at Viggo next to her with an inquiring expression. Viggo gave her a helpless look, meaning he didn't know how Julian could have come either.

The director's name was Harvey Norman. He reacted faster than Emelia and Viggo. He greeted Julian with a smile on his face as soon as he saw him enter, "Mr. Hughes, I didn't expect you to come. It's such an honor to me!"

Julian shook hands with the director, "It is you who arranged the dinner, sure I will come."

The director and his team greeted Julian before Viggo brought Emelia forward. Although Viggo had some unpleasant talks with Julian last time, since they were continuing to work together on this project, they were able to turn their grievances into peace.

Viggo smiled and greeted with Julian, and finally it was Emelia who had to face Julian.

She took the most respectful and formal attitude as a newcomer to the workplace to greet Julian: "Mr. Hughes, how are you?"

Apart from Maisie and Viggo, no one else knew about Emelia's past with Julian.

The director interjected and said to Julian smilingly, "Mr. Hughes, last time Ms. Jones wasn't present, and I didn't expect she is such a young and beautiful woman. Since we'll have a beautiful woman to work with us, we won't feel tired on the set, right?"

The director felt that he was complimenting Emelia, but he received a cold stare from Julian.

The reason why Julian glared at the director was because he thought it was obscene for this director to say something about having beautiful women at work.

Reaching out to shake Emelia's slender hand that she offered, he suddenly said to Emelia, "I heard that Ms. Jones' pen name is Wintry Frost. Your hand is indeed quite cold. Is it because you are underdressed?"

Emelia thought Julian was insane. What was he doing being sarcastic about her outfits? Did he have anything to do with it?

After withdrawing her hand, she said with a smile, "Mr. Hughes, you are funny."

The director interjected again, "Mr. Hughes, young girls nowadays all dress like this. Look at her thin waist."

The director actually tried to reach for Emelia's waist as he spoke. Emelia's face changed slightly and she instinctively took a step back.

Although she had not been involved in the workplace officially, she had heard and seen a lot of gropers in the workplace, and Nina had told her that many directors, assistant directors and certain male actors would take advantage of some actresses.

But she didn't expect that something like this would happen to her today as a scriptwriter. She was confused, but more than that, she was angry.

Luckily, she was quick enough to dodge, otherwise she would have felt disgusted if the director had really touched her waist.

But what was the use of being disgusted and angry? She still had to stay.

The director failed to touch her, so it was somewhat inappropriate for her to fight back even if she wanted to.

When that director saw her dodge, a slightly embarrassed expression crossed his face, and before he could say anything, a murderous gaze was suddenly shot towards him. He jerked his head up only to meet Julian's gloomy expression, which scared him into an embarrassing chuckle.

Viggo duly tried to ease the tension, "Let's sit down. Shall we?"

Viggo, of course, was also angry and fed up with Harvey Norman's behavior, but he did not do anything on such an occasion.

Emelia sat with Maisie, distancing herself from Harvey.

After the dinner began, it was time for the men to drink, while Emelia bowed her head and ate her food in silence.

Originally, she had quite a lot of respect for this director and thought she could ask him a few questions tonight. The communication between the director and the scriptwriter was very important because when the scriptwriter wrote some scenes, he needed to ask the director if it would work in the actual filming.
