Capítulo 55


    Chapter: 55


    Men are usually drawn by what they see. It wasmon for them to overlook a woman’s bad behavior if she was gorgeous.


    Yusuf stared at Edmund''s unhappy face without saying anything.


    Chelsea had drunk a lot in Zuri’s home. A lot of strange things had happened to her tonight. First, Ondo, the heartthrob of


    many drama fans, paid her a visit. Second, Luka protected her secretly. As she drank herself to a stupor, she wondered what


    Edmund thought of her now. His actions were unfathomable to her.


    Chelsea and Zuri had ate-night chat. It wasn’t until three o’clock in the morning that they finally fell asleep. Despite sleeping so


    late, Chelsea woke up at the crack of dawn to make a delicious breakfast for her friend.


    Zuri was pleased to see the table set when she woke up. As she munched on a mouthful of toast, she blew Chelsea’s trumpet.


    “Hmm! This is so delicious. As much as | hate to say this, | need to thank Edmund for giving me the opportunity to taste your


    cooking. Well, you know, you used to cook for him only.”


    Chelsea smiled without saying anything. Recalling how she used to tend to Edmund, she felt pity for herself, so she didn’t want


    to talk about it.


    “Are you serious about quitting the new project?” Zuri asked, taking a sip of steaming hot coffee.


    In asad tone, Chelsea responded, “It took me a full year to recover from the heartbreak that Edmund caused me. | still have


    nightmares of those three perilous years. Edmund and Diane are from my ugly past. The sight of them reminds me of the pain. |


    always regret not standing up for myself when they made my Life a living hell. Now that | am in a better ce, | don’t want


    history to repeat itself. And that’s why | have decided to quit. My mental health would continue to improve if they are out of my


    sight.”


    Chelsea had thought that she could put up with Edmund being the funder of the y. She wanted to do it to better her chances


    in the industry.


    But it turned out to be a wrong move. She was already experiencing so much trouble even though they were only at the first


    stage of the project. Her efforts to draw a line between Edmund and Diane were all in vain. She didn’t want to have anything to


    do with them, especially Diane, who was a pain in the ass.


    Zuri reached out and held Chelsea’s hand tightly.


    “I''m with you, dearie.”


    Chelsea had just finished having breakfast when she received a text message from Luka. It read, “I have just been informed by


    the Nelson Group that you don’t need to revise the script. We can proceed to the next step now. By the way, they also assigned


    someone to oversee this project in Mr. Nelson’s stead. His representative is Fay, who also happens to be his assistant. She will


    report to him during the production. You don’t have to quit now. Just continue working on the script.”


    Chelsea’s mind went nk once she finished reading the message. It came as a shocker to her that the script would no longer


    be revised.


    Given that Diane had created a scene at his officest night, Chelsea had thought Edmund would make the work harder for her


    or worse still, pull the plug on the investment. She thought he would go to any lengths to please his fiancée.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    The fact that the Nelson Group assigned someone to oversee the project in his stead was even more shocking.


    It was true that she didn’t want to see him. But it seemed Like someone had read her mind before she could opt out. Her biggest


    wish had been granted.


    Chelsea wanted to know who made these decisions, so she called Luka immediately.


    “Hello, Mr. Pierce. | just got your message. Why did Nelson Group assign someone else to oversee the project?”


    “Oh, about that. | figured that you were serious about quitting because of Edmund, so | made it clear to himst night. | also


    made a proposition to him. It was either he picked a representative or | pulled the plug on our deal after you quit,” Luka


    exined.


    Chelsea was short of words.


    The fact that Luka put her career first and went against a big investor touched her heart. She was grateful to have such a boss.


    “Thank you so much, Mr. Pierce.” Despite hearing Luka‘s exnation, she was still confused as to why Edmund had danced to


    their tune. He was an arrogant man who never took orders from anyone, let alone from business partners who needed his


    money.


    “You don’t need to thank me, Chelsea. | only went the extra mile because | believe in you. Even if Edmund decided not to invest


    in the y again, | could have gotten another investor easily. It’s no big deal.”
