Chapter 64
The following agenda of the meeting was to discuss the two female candidates for the role of the king‘s first love.
Susanna, who had been enjoying the underlying rivalry between Trevor and Wesley. finally spoke up.
She turned to look at Trevor and said, “Oh, what a pity that Crystal is almost out of the picture. Otherwise, she would‘ve been the best candidate for that role.”
Susanna‘s words were provoking, and several people who knew about what Crystal had done to Emma understood what Susanna was talking about.
Others who were at the meeting echoed her words, “That‘s right. With Ms. Sanders‘ temperament and charm of being natural and poised, she would fit the role perfectly as someone the king‘s heart would yearn for.”
They were all singing praises for Crystal. After all, everyone knew that she would marry into the Bateson Family.
However, this compliment sounded highly mocking in the ears of people who knew the backstory, especially Trevor, who found this praise to be ear–piercing.
Then, he turned to look at Emma again and said, “Let‘s get your opinion on whether Crystal is a suitable candidate.”
Trevor must have lost his mind. How can he ask me to comment on Crystal?Is he doing this on purpose? Is he deliberately trying to use Crystals affairs to discourage her?
With thoughts running in her head, she still smiled politely. “I don‘t know Ms. Sanders at all. She is your bedmate. You should know her better.”
Initially, she thought that by saying that, Trevor would stop and back off.
Unexpectedly, he looked at her and slowly said, “That‘s not necessarily true. I didn‘t know much about my ex–bedmate before this.”
Although everyone was aware that he had been married before, no one knew that the person he was married to was Emma.
This caught her off guard as she did not expect him to mention their marriage in public like that. But, even if no one knew about it, she still suddenly felt a rush of nerves.
Moreover, Trevor‘s words were sarcastic, and this made her extremely annoyed and anxious at the same time.
As anger pumped through her veins, she met his gaze and smiled lightly. “If you paid attention, there is no way you wouldn‘t know her after three years of marriage.”
“Mr. Bateson must have someone in mind to dismiss the woman next to him.”
Emma did not want to be outdone, so she took a jab at Trevor for being unfaithful to his marriage.
Right then, Wesley stepped in and broke the deadlock between the two. “Okay, enough. Aren‘t we discussing our potential candidates? Why are we talking about Mr. Bateson‘s bedmate?”
“Let’s forget about Crystal. After all, she will be happily married to Mr. Bateson. Soon, she will be pregnant and have a child. Therefore, she won‘t be suitable to act in our show. Tv
The words ‘pregnant‘ and ‘child‘ somewhat stung Emma.
She could never forget what Trevor said to her aloofly. He said that she was not worthy of having his child.
Although it had been a year since that incident, those hurtful words still pulled at her heartstrings when she thought about it.
So, she pursed her lips and lowered her gaze without saying a word; her fingers turned white as she clenched the pen in her hand tightly and tried to ignore the pang in her heart.
When Trevor noticed the change in Emma‘s emotions, he couldn‘t help but think of what he had done to her back then, and an indescribable feeling flooded his heart.
The meeting continued for another half an hour, and he remained silent the whole time.
After the meeting, he and Cerys immediately got up and left. As Wesley, Emma, and Susanna walked out, he extended an invite, “Let‘s go grab lunch together later.”
Before Emma could reply, Susanna answered, “I can‘t make it. I have other things to do. You two can go ahead.
Then, she patted Emma on the shoulder and said, “You‘re dressed so beautifully today. It‘s a pity if you‘re not going to eat with such a handsome guy.”
After Susana said those words, she instantly left. She was obviously trying to set them up to eat together.
Wesley glanced at Trevor before turning to Emma and saying, “Let‘s just have a simple lunch as colleagues in the restaurant downstairs. I just happen to have
something that I need to ask you about the script.”
Since Wesley said this, she clearly couldn‘t refuse and immediately agreed, “Okay.”
When they headed into the elevator, four were in there together. As Trevor and Cerys left first, they were already inside.
Emma and Wesley stood near the door, and the four did not speak, and they arrived at the first floor in stony silence. |
Wesley took the iniliative by saying goodbye when they reached the first floor‘s lobby. “Mr. Bateson, we‘ll get going first.”
Emma nodded at Trevor and Cerys after Wesley before leaving with him.
Trevor was glued to his spot with his hands in his pocket as he pursed his lips, looking at the slim figure walking away.
At the end of the day, is she going to lunch with another man? And it so happens that it is with the man who has feelings for her?
Cerys noticed that he was staring motionlessly in the direction Emma had left. After she gave it a little thought, she suggested, “Mr. Bateson, it‘s getting late. The food at the restaurant here is prelty good. Why not eat there before going back to the company?”
His face relaxed at the suggestion, so he replied agreeably, “Okay.”
After that, he followed her into the restaurant.
Emma and Wesley had just sat down across from each other. As soon as they looked up, they saw Trevor and Cerys walking in. Immediately, Emma lowered her head and looked at the menu.
It was like Trevor was haunting her; they were eating at the same place.”
It didn‘t take long for Wesley to notice the two coming in, and he couldn‘t help but laugh.
“Mr. Bateson, come join us.” So, he decided to extend an invitation to the two.
Emma almost fainted; if she ate at the same table with Trevor, she would most definitely have indigestion.
“It‘s alright, thanks.” Unexpectedly, he rejected him arrogantly and brought Cerys to an empty table nearby.
Wesley shrugged, and he couldn‘t help but think that with his pompous personality,
it was no wonder he had lost Emma.
Initially, Trevor wanted to accept the invitation and eat with them. Nevertheless, he changed his mind when he saw how Emma‘s face was filled with unwillingness and disdain, as if he was a scourge.
After all, he was a renowned young masterlof Jonestown. Women were lining up after him.
It hurt his pride that he so repelled his ex–wife.,
Even after he sat at another table with Cerys, his blood was still boiling.
This whole situation had Cerys perplexed as she asked again, “Mr. Bateson, are we really not going to join them?”
All this while, she had speculated that Trevor wanted to have lunch with Emma. Otherwise, Cerys wouldn‘t have proposed to eat in this restaurant. Plus, Trevor agreed to her suggestion as well.
Yet, just now, when Wesley invited them over, Trevor rejected him.
Cerys was confused. What was this man thinking?
“Just order your food,” he grumbled.
Ultimately, she had no choice but to give up and resignedly took the menu to order.
At the other table, Emma and Wesley were happily chatting away. Although what they said was incomprehensible, anyone could tell that the two were enjoying each other‘s company.
Cerys quietly glanced at the man across from her and found his face had twisted into a nasty expression.
Once the dishes came, Trevor stopped eating after a few mouthfuls. Then, he immediately brought Cerys along and left. The whole meal took less than half an hour.
When Wesley saw them leave, he called out and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Bateson, is the food here not to your liking?”
Trevor didn‘t deign to give Wesley a reply as he merely shot him a cold look and strode away without giving Emma a second glance.
