Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

Salvation

Eugene and Emily walked past the bustling party hub to one side of the garden overlooking LA.

“Then why isn’t it awkward to talk to you at all?”

Emily asked as if it was interesting.

“Isn’t it because we have something in common? If you look, you will find quite a lot in common.”

“You’re the world’s richest man, and I’m just an unknown actor, do you have anything in common?”

Emily said it was fun.

She would be right.

Emily is an unknown actress who only participated in the film as one of the hundreds of dancers.

You can’t build a great career with this movie because your face is only shown three times in the movie, and, to say the least, you don’t even have to pay for a month’s living expenses in terms of a guarantee.

Emily’s current occupation is an unknown actress and a lady in a cafeteria.

In reality, he is more like an aspirant who works in a cafeteria and dreams that one day he will be able to take on a proper role.

There are countless talented and attractive young people like her in Hollywood.

“Let’s see if we have something in common.”

Eugene looked at Emily and said.

“really? What is it?”

“I like Scott Fitzgerald the most.”

I tried again the conversation I had with her one day.

“Well. I am William Faulkner.”

“I enjoy lunch with tacos topped with salsa.”

“I’m Quiznos’ Tofu Sandwich.”

“Coca Cola.”

“Mineral water.”

“Adel.”

“Taylor Swift.”

“Marron Five.”

“Bruno Mars.”

she was still No, in terms of time, it will be about 6 or 7 years later, so I have to express it a little differently.

“what. We have nothing in common.”

Emily said with a smile.

“Initially, people who have nothing in common seem to get along well.”

Eugene gets a little strange feeling when he says that.

That’s what Emily had originally said to him.

“Really?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to think that way?”

It’s ironic that the words he remembered are opposite to each other, but on the other hand, it’s very enjoyable.

He meets Emily after he ends his unhappy marriage in Korea and leaves fame to arrive in New York.

At that time, Eugene was like a sharpened sword with a sense of continuous misery and betrayal.

At work, he tried to maintain himself as much as possible, but in private, he was depressing and even violent.

It felt like I was standing at the center of all the misery in the world.

And then I met Emily.

She came to New York in search of a new opportunity after a long unknown actress career in Hollywood.

I took on a small but meaningful role in a sitcom and flew across the continent with a big decision.

But the sitcom was canceled after one season, and she was again working on a new challenge.

So, in a way, Emily wasn’t at a very happy time either.

Moreover, considering that his boyfriend, whom he had been dating before leaving LA, had an affair and ended in a bad way, he was no different from Eugene.

But she was not as sharp as Eugene. Rather, I always tried to find the bright side of the world.

The two met at a theater off Broadway. It was a very avant-garde, minor musical performance full of loud music.

Eugene just wanted to silence his anger in the music that seemed to tear his ears.

But unexpectedly, the musical was great, and when the performance was over, Eugene was applauding sincerely.

“It was a great show, wasn’t it?”

The cute woman sitting next to me said with a smile.

“It was a fun time. It’s fun, it’s serious.”

“It’s Emily.”

She reached out her hand first. And Eugene was saved by holding her hand.

With Emily, Eugene’s exhausted spirit gradually recovered.

After their marriage in Korea ended in disastrous failure, Eugene never married again. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t met another person.

After moving to the United States, Eugene met several people again and fell in love many times.

Emily’s influence was probably the biggest factor in his being able to love someone like that again.

Even now, if it weren’t for Emily, Eugene thinks that she might be living with hatred and fear for women forever.

In that sense, Emily gave Eugene a ray of salvation.

Now, Eugene wanted to repay her for the salvation she had received, even a little.

“Why did you talk to me?”

One day, Eugene asked her.

“Because he seemed like someone like me.”

“Is it similar? Where?”

Where was the resemblance between herself, who was very angry, and Emily, who was always cheerful?

“We are both strangers.”

Emily said with a smile.

* * *

“There is nothing similar.”

said Emily.

“We are both strangers.”

Eugene answered.

“uh? How did you know?”

Emily asked curiously.

“Anyone who listens to you will know.”

Emily didn’t change her English accent in the slightest.

“It is seldom fixed. No matter how hard you try.”

Speaking of other languages, the British accent is not bad at all.

“And anyone in Hollywood is a stranger.”

Eugene added.

“Well, yes. So I guess everyone here has something in common.”

“Are you satisfied with your Hollywood life?”

“It’s okay.”

A little bit of anxiety crossed Emily’s face as she said that.

“Actually, I was a little scared while filming this time.”

“For what reason?”

“What? Emma’s role. The truth is that we are here as we are. I think I’ll be in the spotlight someday, but as time goes on, I lose my confidence. There are so many attractive people out there, can I be one of them? That’s it. In the drama, Emma finally achieves her dream, but… … Probably not one of us will ever be.”

“Everyone lives that way. It’s like wandering around Hollywood chasing your dreams.”

“yes. That’s it. Actually, I don’t know. Is the movie right for me? That song is also very good. He dances well too.”

Emily lightly teased her feet to the music coming from the other side.

“If not a movie, what would it be? musical?”

“yes. This time I felt it again. Acting is good, singing is good, and dancing is fun.”

“Miss Emily would be a good fit for a musical.”

“I have a lot of trouble. May I try that way? After coming all the way here, wouldn’t it be foolish to go back to New York and try a musical? I do.”

“If it’s not rude, can I help you a little?”

“What help?”

“I know Lynn Manuel Miranda personally. If you want, I can recommend it for an audition.”

What if Eugene had one day when Emily came to New York when she was younger and tried a musical once? I remembered what you said.

Eugene himself was curious. Obviously, Emily suits the musical better than the movie. I liked her explosive voice, and the way she shook her elongated limbs beautifully.

“really?”

Emily asked with a broad smile.

“Well. I would like to subsidize the plane ticket to New York and travel expenses for a while.”

“What are the conditions? Of course you are an attractive man… … If there are any conditions… … .”

Emily asked, slightly nervous.

“I wish I could be a good friend. There’s no such thing as any other sinister idea. never.”

“really? No strange requests?”

“To be honest, I have come this far with a lot of luck and the help of many people. So it would be great if I could share a little bit of luck with someone else. So, take this opportunity too. I just think of it as a little luck and opportunity that came at some point in my life.”

“You look like a long-legged uncle.”

Emily said with a little relief.

“That is very good. long-legged uncle I didn’t know there were girls who read such classics even today.”

“I still read these days. How much do girls like it?”

“ah! There is one condition. Please refrain from telling anyone about the opportunities I am offering.”

“I see. Then I will gladly accept your favor. I’m not stupid enough to kick an opportunity that comes to me.”

“I’m happy. Our staff will contact you within tomorrow. Then I look forward to having a great time in New York.”

Eugene decided to end it here. If I kept looking at her, the feelings of that time would come back and I thought I would not want to let her go.

“by the way… … It’s really weird.”

“Are you in my favor?”

“no. I know you have no reason to, nor should you be, to have strange thoughts about a woman like me. But I can’t understand why we feel so comfortable with each other so quickly. You just saw it. We have nothing in common.”

“It will definitely be there. something Next time we meet, we’ll think about it again.”

“I do that. I really hope to see you again. I should also thank you for today’s favor.”

Emily said with a twinkle in her eyes.

And at that moment, Eugene unknowingly grabbed her hand and pulled her. Emily’s body was dragged as light as a feather and hugged by Eugene.

The two looked at each other for a moment. And they kissed each other like irresistible magic.

“ah!”

Emily’s face turned red when she opened her mouth after a while.

“If that’s the case… … .”

“Sorry. I really didn’t mean to do this.”

Eugene sincerely apologized. I was only really trying to do her a favor. At least this time.

“It’s not… … no. This is for Sarah… … .”

Emily looks very confused.

Eugene and Sarah Delvian are like a recognized relationship. And as Eugene knows, Emily is never one to reach out to another woman’s man.

“This is a secret.”

Eugene whispered into Emily’s ear.

“It has nothing to do with Sarah.”

“Liar.”

Emily, embarrassed, said with a slight smile.

“Anyway, this is… … I think it’s an accident. You think so too.”

Emily said hurriedly.

“yes. It was an accident.”

It was really an accident.

It was a relief that made my heart pound.

“I can’t. I will go see you.”

Emily said as she moved away from Eugene’s arms.

“really… … .”

She tried to say something with her face redder than before, but she swallowed and stepped back.

“I wish you all the best when you go to New York.”

Eugene said to her as she walked away.

“Today is… … Thank you.”

Emily smiled again and turned around.

Eugene stood there until she moved away, then walked towards the party hall.

“You’re a cute girl.”

Suddenly, someone’s voice came from the side.

“Do you think so?”

Eugene answered without turning his head.

“If it wasn’t for Gina… … .”

Sarah stopped talking.

“Good luck. Because I can’t compete with you.”

“just joke. really. Never say that in front of Gina.”

Sarah said with a slightly frightened expression.

“I have something to report on the wife of the Chairman of the Daeyang Group.”

The next morning, I got a call from David.

David asked the Plaza Hotel to hire a detective’s office inspector as a temporary employee, and said that the inspector was going in and out as a cleaner in the President’s Suite, monitoring the surroundings of the wife of the president of the Daeyang Group.

“It seems that the president’s son-in-law often visits her hotel room.”

It’s a report that’s nothing special.

The third son-in-law of the chairman of the Daeyang Group, who is in charge of the American branch of Daeyang Corporation, lives in New York.

Since the mother-in-law has visited New York, it is not unusual for the son-in-law to visit.

It was just that the age difference between the mother-in-law and the son-in-law was not that much, rather, the fact that the son-in-law was about three years older than the mother-in-law was a peculiar part.

And it feels a little special that the son-in-law does not spend a lot of time in his mother-in-law’s hotel room.

“I think there must be something. Is there any way to check?”

Eugene, who knew that the wife of the Daeyang Group chairman had been working for the same company as her third son-in-law before marriage, instinctively felt that something was wrong.

“Even if not, we are looking for a way.”

David also seemed to feel something strange. Otherwise, there is no reason to call to tell you this.
