Chapter 11 I Do Not Know Mr. Hughes
Emelia was indeed having dinner with a handsome young boy named Harry Zink.
As for the relationship between them, it could probably say that fate had brought them together.
Nina starred in an urban drama before, the main storyline of which was a mature office lady falling in love with a younger man, so they needed to choose a young actor as the male protagonist.
And because there were already too many candidates to choose from, Nina asked Emelia, who was abroad, for advice.
Emelia was a scriptwriter so she surely had an eye for casting.
In the end, Harry was chosen. He seized the opportunity and had lived up to others expectations. The show was just aired recently, and the ratings have been soaring.
As soon as Emelia returned from abroad, Harry invited her to dinner and expressed his gratitude to her in a ceremonious way.
But what she didn´t know was that she was seen by Ezra Cantillo when she went upstairs. The waiter knocked at the door when they were halfway through the meal, holding a delicately placed steak.
Harry looked at the waiter puzzledly , “All the dishes we ordered have been served, right?”
The waiter smiled and explained, “This steak is our specialty here. It was a treat to this lady from a Mr. Hughes.”
“Mr. Hughes?” When Emelia heard the name, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
She pursed her lips and glanced at the steak. It wasn´t from Julian, was it?
She was that close to him? It was a typical “enemies are bound to meet each other” situation.
She met him once in Tymers Entertainment during the day, and then she met him again at dinner…
Besides, they have been divorced for a year. She thought that she had been keeping enough distance from Julian throughout the year, but he somehow sent her steak to eat. What did this mean?
But no matter what he meant; she would not accept this steak.
So, she smiled apologetically at the waiter and said politely. “I´m sorry, I can´t accept this steak. First, I’m unacquainted with Mr. Hughes, and second, I am allergic to beef and mutton.”
When the waiter heard that she was allergic to beef and mutton, she had to leave with that dish.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Food allergies are a big deal, and they can´t take that responsibility.
After the waiter left, Emelia lowered her eyes slightly, just trying to cover the self-deprecating and sarcasm in her eyes.
She was married to Julian for three years, but he didn´t even know that she was allergic to beef and mutton, which shows how indifferent he was to her during those three years.
Since she was a child, she could not eat beef and mutton, which could cause her to develop rashes all over her body.
When they were together, beef and mutton often appeared on their dining table. She had never taken a bite before. She made those specially for Julian just because his like.
On the other side, Harry´s gaze fell on her beautiful face, and finally he couldn´t help but ask, “Emelia, who is this Mr. Hughes?”
People didn´t know much about the relationship between Emilia and Julian. In addition, the only public appearance of her was that night she was fully dressed up at the Hughes Group´s anniversary ceremony, so few people would associate that graceful and gorgeous Mrs. Hughes that night with her.
As for Harry, the Emelia he knew was just a scriptwriter.
“I don´t know. Maybe it´s a mistake.” Emelia passed the topic in a few words.
She didn´t want to mention Julian for one second, and she didn´t expect that she would meet him twice on the first day she returned to China.
Bad luck.
This was all she could feel at that moment.
In the box where Julian and Ezra were in, the waiter carried in the returned steak and repeated Emelia´s words to Julian.
Hearing what she said, Ezra spitted a sip of wine on the spot and said, “Unacquainted?”
After he finished speaking, he laughed out real loud and couldn´t stop, causing Julian to give him a cold look.
