    Chapter: 14


    “What? A handsome young man?” Edmund raised his voice. His curiosity was getting the best of him now.


    “Yes, they are having a good time. The man in question is an uing actor. You may not have heard of him before. His name


    is Ondo Curtis. He’s in his early twenties. | must say that he’s so handsome,” Yusuf said, dragging hisst words intentionally.


    “Where are you now?” Edmund asked coldly.


    Yusuf blurted out the address of the restaurant before he came to his senses. He asked curiously, “Are youing over?”This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    The only response he got was the disconnect tone. Unbeknown to him, Edmund had hung up before he finished asking his


    question. He stared at his phone screen and was lost in thought. Edmund sounded as if he was in a haste. Was he rushing down


    to the restaurant because his ex-wife was having dinner with another man? What was his deal, anyway?


    Chelsea was indeed having dinner with a young man named Ondo. However, it wasn’t a date. They actually met for another


    reason.


    Zuri had starred in an urban rom. The drama was about the love life of a career-driven woman. This woman was supposed


    to fall in love with a young handsome man. An actor for the hero role hadn’t been cast early.


    There was a sea of young male stars in the industry, so it was hard for Zuri and the crew to choose. She had asked Chelsea,


    who was still abroad at that time, to help her choose one.


    Picking the right actor for a role was one of Chelsea’s fortes as a scriptwriter.


    In the end, Chelsea chose Ondo for the role. His acting was nothing short of perfect. Hepletely owned the role. The


    drama was a sess as soon as it hit the screens. The viewers rated it highly online and spoke well of it offline. It was also


    nominated for many awards.


    Ondo’s career shot to the roof because he got many acting gigs afterward. To express his gratitude to Chelsea, he decided to


    treat her to dinner as soon as she arrived in Vertoak.


    Oblivious to the fact that her ex-husband’s best friend had seen her when she went upstairs, Chelsea enjoyed her meal and


    chatted with Ondo happily. In the middle of the meal, a waiter knocked on the door of the private dining room and walked in


    carrying a tter of steak in his hand.


    Ondo Looked at the waiter in confusion. “All the dishes we ordered have been served, haven''t they?”


    “Yes. This steak is our signature dish. Mr. Nelson ordered it specially for thisdy,” the waiter exined with a smile.


    “Mr. Nelson?” Chelsea’s face darkened once she heard that name. She pursed her lips and nced at the steak. Was it from


    Edmund? Why was he here?


    What a small world! Their paths never crossed for the entire year that she was abroad. But on the day that she returned, they


    met twice.


    This seemingly harmless gesture didn’t sit right with Chelsea. They had ended things on a bad note. Why did he send her this


    steak as if all Was well between them?


    Chelsea didn’t want to have anything to do with Edmund asides from work. As a result, she decided not to ept the steak.


    With a faint smile, she said to the waiter apologetically, “I’m sorry,


    | can’t ept it. First, | don’t know the Mr. Nelson you speak of Second, I’m allergic to beef and mutton. Please take it back.


    Thanks


    [0) The waiter had no choice but to leave with the steak when he heard her reasons.


    In this Line of work, he had met people with severe food allergies. The workers here were obligated to Listen to the diners


    whenever they said that they were allergic to some foods.


    Sadness glistened in Chelsea’s eyes as soon as the waiter left. She lowered her head and continued to eat just to hide her


    emotions.


    Since she was a child, she was allergic to beef and mutton. She avoided them Like a gue. If she mistakenly had them, red


    rashes would appear all over her body.
