Ex-husband Loves Me Again (Miral) Chapter 29: She Didn't Show up in the Meeting

The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, everyone who was part of the meeting began to arrive one
by one in the Shaw Stewarts Films’ conference room.

This was the day that the first official meeting for the discussion of the drama entitled, "The Legend of
the Princess".

Aside from the investors, lead actor, and actress, the presence of the director as well as the scriptwriter
was very needed.

But for this meeting, the most important was the presence of the scriptwriter because she needed to
present the outline of the script and the overall direction of the drama to make it a big hit.

If it would be a show, she was like the star of the night.

When Manuel saw Theo and Venice arrive together, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he still
stood up to welcome them.

He had already heard the rumors about the two, but it was still strange to see them together, especially
in this meeting.

When his eyes landed on Venice, Manuel just smiled faintly.

"Miss Venice, are you also interested in this drama?" he asked casually, but his words implied
something.

It was like he was questioning her sudden presence at the meeting.

Venice held Theo's arms and smiled gently.



"No, I'm not.Besides, I already stopped acting, and I don't have plans on going back.I just actually
came here to accompany Theo, she said as if she was a very supportive woman for the man she loved.

While Venice spoke, her eyes moved around the conference room, silently searching for one certain
person, Danica.

Manuel, on the other hand, just glanced at Venice and didn't say anything else.

After that, he turned around and gestured for the two to take a seat.

As soon as Theo sat down, he lowered his eyes and looked at his wristwatch.

He couldn't help but wrinkle his forehead when he saw the time.

There were only a few minutes left for the meeting would finally begin, but the scriptwriter was still
nowhere to be seen.

Ten minutes later, the meeting officially began, and Danica still had not arrived.

Manuel stood up and announced apologetically to them, "Everyone, I'm sorry to say this, but our
scriptwriter can't make it today, so I'll be the one to present the script to all of you."

Theo's face automatically darkened when he heard this.

It was their first meeting, and he couldn't believe Danica would dare to ditch everyone.

‘What an irresponsible woman! Did she think she was the boss here that if she didn't want to work, she
wouldn't come?’ Theo thought angrily.

Theo didn't hide his displeasure, and the others also protested a little.



Venice, who was sitting next to him, also couldn't help but interrupt, "No way, Director Shaw.This is the
first meeting for the discussion of the story.I think it's inappropriate for the scriptwriter to ditch everyone
who was expecting her to come"

Venice was smiling slightly when she said this, but she was obviously trying to humiliate Danica in front
of everyone.

However, Manuel just smiled at her.

"She actually didn't ditch us.In fact, she did everything to come here.It's just that something happened
to her.She had an accident when she was on the way here" Manuel explained.

As soon as Manuel said the words "something happened", he saw Theo frown slightly.

‘Accident?’ A lot of thoughts started to pop into Theo's mind.

‘Wasn't her burnt arm already fine yesterday?’

“What happened to her again?’ Theo's eyebrows furrowed as his thoughts continued.

The moment Manuel said that Danica had an accident, Venice instantly felt embarrassed in front of
everyone.

What she did a while ago was a wrong move.

She wasn't even part of the meeting, yet she had the guts to interrupt.

In the end, instead of humiliating Danica, she humiliated herself.

‘Did Theo notice I was deliberately trying to ruin Danica's image?’ she asked herself as she looked at
the man beside her.



She had always been kind, reasonable, and understanding in front of Theo because she didn't want
him to think that she was mean and selfish.

But what she did a while ago was far from the image she showed to Theo, and she couldn't help but
get worried.

After Manuel explained, he walked in front and prepared the PowerPoint presentation that Danica sent
to him.

When Danica realized that she couldn't make it in time, she immediately contacted him and sent the
presentation that she made through email.

"An accident, you say? What exactly happened to her then?" Theo suddenly asked.

Venice automatically clenched her hands under the table upon hearing this.

Although Theo's question was business-like, she inexplicably felt that Theo was worried about Danica.

She felt that he wasn't only asking for the purpose of work, but he was asking because he wanted to
know if Danica was okay.

Venice didn't know why she felt this way.She knew that Theo didn't care about Danica back then, but
her instinct as a woman was telling her that she was right.

Manuel, on the other hand, stood in front and replied calmly, "I didn't ask her because it would be an
invasion of privacy.As an employer, I respect her privacy"

Manuel actually knew what really happened to Danica, but he chose to keep it to himself.

Today was the death anniversary of Danica’s mother.



Since her mother was buried in the countryside, she rushed to go there last night and thought that she
could come back for a meeting after visiting her mother this morning.

However, Danica didn't expect that it would suddenly rain hard since it was already summer.

When she was on her way back to the city, the bus that she took slipped and flipped, resulting in a car
accident.

Although Danica wasn't injured, the ambulance still sent all the passengers on the bus to the hospital
for a check-up, which made her unable to rush back and miss the meeting.
