Chapter 31: Knew Nothing About His Ex-Wife
After receiving the phone number, Theo did not leave right away.
"I didn't expect you to be such a talent spotter, Mr.Shaw.You spared no effort in training new members of the company; he told Manuel.Manuel immediately understood the hidden meaning in Theo's words.
Theo found out his plan and hidden thoughts about Danica.
He mocked him for sending Danica overseas, and for training and giving her a chance as an independent scriptwriter.
Theo intentionally said these words to him.
Manuel smiled and shook his head.
"Mr.Dalton, I think you really don't know your ex-wife that much.It's not that I'm good in convincing people, but we can see that she is good enough to make us willing to give her a chance that she deserves," Manuel said.
"Back then, when Celestie introduced Danica to be a part-time scriptwriter, I casually give her a script that she wanted to make and let her write the outline as a test.As a result, the outline that Danica wrote was the most appealing among the new scriptwriters, and even Mr.Frost was amazed at what he read.He directly came to me and said that he wanted to train Danica and be part of his team" Manuel said.
Theo's eyes widened as he realized what Manuel had said.
Everyone knew how picky Edmund was.He didn't just hire any newbie scriptwriters to be part of his team.
Theo was surprised that it was Edmund who asked for Danica.
Manuel saw the surprise in Theo's eyes.
To make him feel more embarrassed, he continued, "Danica has been fond of literature since she was a child.She has also won all kinds of essay competitions since primary school.At the college entrance examination, she was the top scholar of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.When she graduated, her GPA was the highest among all students in her major"
"Even if Mr.Frost and I didn't guide her, she would still be a dazzling star in the Entertainment industry."
"Of course, she might have become famous now if she hadn't married to you for almost three years"
Manuel added.
Danica could only work part-time as a scriptwriter because she had to be a responsible wife to Theo.She couldn't commit all of her effort and time to writing scripts.
Theo was angry because Manuel blamed him for delaying Danica's career.
Before Theo turned around and left with the phone number, he coldly looked at Manuel first.
Danica was the top scholar and professional in the liberal arts field, and her talent was so excellent.
Edmund took this opportunity to bring her into the industry.
Such a glorious start for Danica made Theo feel as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
Theo had no idea that Danica was extraordinary.He thought that she was just a simple wife.He had never taken her seriously.
Theo had always been angry at Danica and her father for conspiring against him.
From the start of their marriage, he had already hated her and felt disgusted with her.
Not long after, he eventually calmed down.
Since he was used to being high and mighty in front of Danica, he couldn't force himself to be nice to her and get along with her naturally.
He thought that Danica wouldn't understand that.
Theo left Manuel's office in a state of confusion.
When Venice saw Theo walking over, she approached him and intimately held his arm.
"Are you done discussing the script with Mr.Shaw?" Venice asked.
"Let's go, I'll send you back first"
Theo responded and didn't mind her question.
Venice leaned on his arm, acting like a spoiled brat.
"I don't want to go back yet.I want to spend the entire day with you" she said.
Theo lowered his gaze and replied, "I can't be with you.I'm very busy every day.You already know that’ Venice knew when to stop, so she turned around and said, "Then, let's have dinner together tonight? You haven't eaten with me for along time"
Theo agreed.
"All right.I'll ask Oliver to book a restaurant for us later."
Venice clung to him and said, "I think I want to eat steak.
=Can we go to the Italian restaurant we frequently visit?"
For some reason, Theo's steps stopped.
A memory flashed back on his mind.
He remembered that Danica was allergic to beef and mutton.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that his favorite steak was no longer pleasant anymore.
