Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 43

Emelia changed into comfortable clothes, intending to go on a shopping spree at the supermarket to prepare to write her script.

But as she was just about to leave the house, she received a phone call from a man named Maisie Brennan.

Maisie Brennan was another special assistant of Julian, and together with David Brennan, they were Julian's right arms.

Maisie and David were twins, whom were said to have come from a poor family. And it was the charity foundation under the Hughes Group supported them to study aboard and cultivate them into elites.

Both of them joined the Hughes Group after graduation and worked diligently for the corporation together.

Maisie's temperament was calm and introverted, and she was an uncompromising workaholic. So Julian would leave many important matters to her.

Maisie invited Emelia on the phone in a businesslike manner, "Ms. Jones, let's meet and discuss this project together. I just took it over today and there are many things I don't quite understand."

Emelia happily agreed, "Okay."

She used to deal with Maisie a lot when she was still Mrs. Hughes, and her terms with Maisie was quite good.

Maisie added, "You could decide the time and place."

Emelia happened to be going to the mall, so she picked the cafe in that mall and the two of them was going to meet there in twenty minutes.

Maisie was as competent and sharp as ever, and Emelia greeted her with a soft smile as she took her seat, "It's been a long time. You've gotten prettier."

Maisie, on the other hand, looked deeply at her before she said rather emotionally, "You are becoming more and more confident."

At this, Emelia was surprised. Had she changed that much?

She could imagine how wretched and inferior she used to be living under Julian's contempt.

Thinking about it she couldn't help but say, "Walking away from the wrong person and putting an end to a wrong relationship are like being born again."

Maisie's brows slightly furrowed. Her boss had demanded that she had to report every word of their conversation to him.

She wasn't sure whether to report what Emelia had just said.

After small talks, they got down to work and it was clear that Maisie was indeed going to take over the project from now on, so Emelia was completely relieved.

As long as she didn’t need to see Julian, she could stay away from troubles.

After talking about the business, Maisie took out two boxes of ointments from her bag and handed them to Emelia, "I heard that your arm was injured. I have ointments here that are quite useful for skin healing."

Emelia didn't expect Maisie to be so thoughtful to give her medicine. Although Harry had also left two boxes for her, she didn't want to brush off Maisie's kindness, so she took them, "Thank you."

Maisie shook her head, "Never mind."

Emelia added, "We are working partners now, so you should stop calling me Ms. Jones, just call me Emelia."

In the past, she was the wife of Julian so Maisie always addressed her in a formal way, but now they were simply working together and it would be better to call her by her name.

Maisie thought for a moment, but nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Emelia got up and said goodbye first because she had to go shopping.

After Emelia left, Maisie took her phone out and sent a message, "Mr. Hughes, the ointment has been sent out."
