When he heard that, the man seemed impressed and said, "I see you are Miss Dawnson's student. I'm sure you must be very capable." He looked at her from head to toe as he spoke and realized that the young screenwriter standing in front of him was a beauty. He couldn't help but stare at her, which both disgusted Trevor and Wilson.
"President Davis, we have some work-related matters to discuss. Please excuse us," Trevor uttered as he looked grim.
President Davis understood the meaning behind his words and smiled before leaving. Before he left, he couldn't help but take a glance at her face since his heart was fluttered by such a young and beautiful screenwriter. Many screenwriters in this industry were youthful and beautiful, but it was rare to see someone with such a unique and unforgettable charm as Winter.
After the man left, Wilson glanced at Trevor and asked him coldly, "President Bateson, shouldn't you leave too?"
Even though President Davis wasn't a good man, Trevor was not much better than him. In fact, he could be regarded as the worst among men. At least the other men hadn't hurt Emma, unlike Trevor who had broken his daughter's heart to the point that she wanted a divorce.
Wilson and Trevor had been on the same boat earlier on, but Wilson immediately started chasing the latter away. Trevor objected calmly and said, "Mr. Young, don't you think you're too old to be shielding Emma?"
Emma was speechless upon hearing that. How dare Trevor speak to an elder like that? she thought.
"Age wouldn't be an issue since I'm sure President Bateson is familiar with my means." Wilson laughed. His hatred toward Steven and Simon was deep enough for him to want to protect Emma.
Meanwhile, the woman couldn't fathom why both men started bickering right after they started their conversation, so she asked puzzledly, "Uncle Young, Trevor, why are both of you attending the gala together?"
They were lost for words upon hearing Emma's question.
Finally, Trevor answered her gently, "We are promoting the new drama."
Hearing that, she nodded and answered, "In that case, I shall not disturb you both since you must be busy."
When she raised her gaze, she saw Susanna walking toward her. "I can see Susanna coming over. I shall take a leave," she said before turning around to leave. Wilson and Trevor then looked at each other and walked away together.
As Emma went up to Susanna, she complained to her about how Wilson and Trevor were being disagreeable with each other. Hearing that, Susanna gloated and said, "Mr. Wilson's presence has hindered Trevor's endeavor to court you."
In fact, not only Wilson but anyone fond of Emma wouldn't be pleased with Trevor after they found out about his mistreatment toward her back then. They might not even approve of them getting back
together.
As Susanna glanced at Crystal and Zola, she couldn't help but whisper, "Have you noticed that Zola looks like a servant girl while standing beside Crystal?"
Susana's words almost made Emma laugh out loud. It was undeniable that Susanna's comparison was apt. Although Crystal had a problematic personality, she was born with a golden spoon and had the disposition of a lady from a wealthy family. On the other hand, Zola was from an ordinary family and only started buying branded goods after she earned some money from writing novels.
Her outfit and bags were from luxury brands, but she couldn't seem to carry the whole look, making her look like a nouveau riche. The dress she wore tonight was of a well-known luxury brand, but she didn't look good in it at all. Her tacky look was apparent when she stood next to Crystal, who was as proud as a peacock. As such, Susanna couldn't be blamed for describing her as a servant girl.
Meanwhile, two other beautifully dressed actresses were chatting away with Crystal and Zola. They looked in Emma's direction from time to time as they chatted.
Susanna scoffed upon noticing that. "I'm sure that they are up to no good."
"Why is that so?" Emma asked confusedly as she glanced over in Crystal and Zola's direction.
"The other two women are bimbos within the industry who are known for stirring the pot. They have zero acting skills, but they are good at seducing men. No good can come from them getting together."
As Emma looked toward them, one of the women seemed familiar, but her face seemed different from when she last saw her. Although Emma was a nobody in the industry when she was under Eleanor,
she knew some of the actresses since she had heard Susanna complaining about them before.
"Isn't the one in the blue dress that actress that you mentioned before? Why does she look different now?" Emma couldn't recall her name.
"She must have undergone plastic surgery," Susanna replied contemptuously.
"She was previously praised for her resemblance to one of the actresses, so she underwent multiple procedures just to look like her. What good is it bringing her now that she looks almost like that actress? She's still clueless."
Hearing that, Emma agreed that the actress' actions were beyond belief. "The most important thing for a person is the character and soul, not the appearance. Even if she looks exactly like someone else, she's still not the person."
"Exactly!" Susanna agreed.
Just as their conversation ended, the actress in the blue dress and her companions walked toward Emma and Susanna.
Seeing that, Susanna got excited and said, "Here they come. They are here to embarrass themselves."
Emma couldn't help but giggle upon hearing Susanna's words as her best friend seemed to look forward to starting an argument.
"Remember to be calm and don't laugh. It's best if you can make yourself look pitiful." Susanna nudged Emma's arm and reminded her.
"I got it. It's just like when I'm writing a script where the characters hold it in at first so that the opponent would think that they're an easy target. It would be more satisfying when we give them a big blow in the end, am I right?"
"Sure enough, you know me the best. You know what I'm hinting at," said Susanna while giving her a thumbs-up in secret.
Shortly after, both actresses were standing in front of Emma and Susanna. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"Hi, Susanna," the actress in a blue dress greeted her with a smile.
"Hi," Susanna replied politely.
The actress was rather surprised by Susanna's reply since the latter was usually known to be cold and distant within the entertainment industry. She was never close to any female celebrities and was flagged as a lone ranger.
Susanna had been a maverick throughout all those years she was in the industry and would solve her issues by herself, giving her a unique reputation. Once, a competitor tried to give her bad press about her poor attitude, attributing it to the reason why she had been friendless within the industry.
Because of that, Susanna openly replied in response to the news on Twitter, stating, 'Having one good friend is enough, and I already have it. I don't need more friends, especially those who would stab me in the back.'
