Please Come Back, Honey!

Chapter 104

Chapter 104 The smile on Crystal‘s face was a little stiff as she replied, “I guess he‘s done with work…” Someone quickly chimed in, “Oh, he must be here to pick you up! How considerate. He came to escort you home after work.” Another person smiled. “That‘s right! Superstar Crystal is such a beauty. He shouldn‘t be letting his guards down.” These words should have sounded great for Crystal, but she felt extremely tormented inside because outsiders didn‘t know that Trevor wanted to draw the line with her. However, she refused to believe that Trevor would not compromise. Whether it was her father‘s power or her father‘s kindness to the Bateson Family, he would end up marrying her. She thought that this might just be a temporary thing for Trevor, and he would later compromise. That was why she tried so hard to maintain the illusion of their intimate relationship to outsiders. Never did she expect him to come over so suddenly. He had clearly told Alice that he would not participate in the event. If Trevor ignored her on the spot tonight, she would be extremely awkward. To avoid that from happening, she hurriedly excused herself. “I‘m going to the washroom.” With that, she turned around and left to avoid Trevor. Crystal, who was hiding in the washroom, called Arianna right away, but the latter did not pick up her phone even after several calls. Crystal was sure she was chatting enthusiastically with some other man. In fact, she had long been annoyed with Arianna‘s character. She brought her more harm than good most of the time! Now that she had no idea how to deal with the situation, she could only hide in the washroom for the meantime. Dealing with such a flustering situation, she felt her hatred toward Emma grow stronger. If Trevor really came for Emma… Crystal bit her lip and decided that she must make Emma pay the price.

Outside the washroom, the ladies who were with Crystal just now greeted Trevor warmly when they saw him walking in. “President Bateson, Crystal just went to the bathroom.” Trevor glanced coldly at the woman who was speaking and walked away without responding The woman said to her companion beside her bewilderedly, “What was that expression just now? Why does he look like I shouldn‘t have mentioned Crystal in front of him?” “Who knows?” The other person uttered in disdain. “To be honest, I don‘t know what Trevor likes about Crystal. She acts like a bitch, yet he wants to marry her.” It seemed that Crystal was quite unpopular. After that person started the rant about Crystal, someone else immediately echoed, “I agree! Didn‘t she become popular because of Trevor?” There were so many beauties in the entertainment industry who were better than Crystal. Crystal‘s popularity was not built based on her acting skills but from the support she gained from Trevor. Nevertheless, Crystal was always self–righteous, thinking that she became successful because of her hard work, acting skills, and beauty. Honestly, Trevor did not care about the affairs between the women at all. He decided to walk over to Zachary but he already caught Emma’s figure in his sight. Wearing a black floor–length dress, she stood beside Wesley, smiling brightly while chatting with a few people. Her makeup today, especially her eyeliner, was so thick that it made her eyes look beautiful and sharp. It suited the shape of her eyes, and it was a side of her that he had never seen before. “You–” Zachary handed him a glass of wine, not knowing what words to describe his friend. After he sent the message, he turned away to chat with someone, and suddenly, Trevor was there. Wasn‘t it obvious that he had a lingering affection for Emma? Trevor did not answer him but merely downed a glass of wine with a cold face, but the next second, he spitted everything out. It was not a huge deal, but when Emma turned around, he saw her exposed back. Ever since he entered the hall, all he saw was her front, so the dress seemed normal.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The length of her dress reached the floor, and the sleeveless cutting revealed her slender shoulders a little, which was acceptable to him. Who the hell would have thought that a big part of her back was exposed?! All he saw was a back as smooth and delicate as cream. It was easy to make one fantasize about that sight. Seeing that, Trevor was about to choke out of rage, while Zachary was also shocked to death by him. He took a step back to avoid him before uttering in disgust, “What‘s the matter with you?” After that, he turned around to see Emma facing her back toward them. All of a sudden, he understood. “She has gone around the party in this dress, but I think hers is still quite conservative. Look at what other women are wearing…” In Zachary‘s view, Trevor‘s reaction was too much of a fuss. Didn‘t he attend countless banquets before? What was so surprising about an exposed back? Wasn‘t it basic for women on such occasions? Trevor felt uncomfortable from head to toe, especially when he saw Wesley‘s hand still wrapped around Emma‘s waist to protect her. However, Zachary quickly tutted beside him, “But look at her skin though! She looks so pure yet sexy in that dress!” Trevor said displeasedly, “Put away those obscene words.” Zachary looked at him innocently. “Obscene words? They are compliments, alright?!” Trevor snorted coldly. If someone else were to say the same thing in front of him, he would have punched them already. Ignoring Zachary, he walked in the direction of Emma and Wesley with a glass of wine. To be frank, Emma already noticed Trevor‘s presence, but she didn‘t want to be seen by him, so she turned her back on purpose. On such an occasion, she felt it was wiser that she and Trevor did not meet in order to save them from embarrassment, Besides, Crystal and Arianna were still present, so she did not want to interact with

“Trevor al all. Nevertheless, she did not expect Trevor to walk up to her. With that, she decided to offer him a decent and polite smile. Wesley was the first to greet Trevor and Zachary, who followed behind. “Hello, President Bateson and President Manson.” “You look gorgeous today,” Zachary praised Emma without hesitation. He had always been like a duck to water when it came to making women happy. Emma smiled and nodded. “Thank you.” Trevor, who was on the side, sneered with a tone filled with dissatisfaction, “You are a screenwriter, not a female artist. Is it fun to wear weird outfits to attract attention?” Zachary rolled his eyes due to frustration, almost fainting from Trevor‘s words. Sure enough, coaxing a woman was an art, and Trevor was just an amateur. Wesley smiled and watched them calmly. On the other hand, Emma was almost pissed off by Trevor‘s words. She squeezed the wine glass in her hand because of infuriation. If she had exerted a little more strength, the glass might be crushed into pieces by her bare hands. First of all, her dress was normal. All she did was show her back. Among the women here who were competing for beauty, she was considered to have dressed more conservatively. How could he say that she wore a weird outfit?! Crystal, on the other hand, exposed her shoulders, legs, and even her cleavage! Why didn‘t he make any annoying remarks about her? He did not dare, did he? Hah! He only dared to bully her and manipulate her, thinking that she was a pushover. Secondly, he mentioned that she was attracting attention. She would always be an unscrupulous woman to him, wouldn‘t she?
