Capítulo 102


    He reasoned that it was good that Edmund was drinking water instead of alcohol. At Least, he didn’t have to worry about his


    friend Landing in the hospital again.


    Yusuf sat opposite Edmund. Shaking the ss of wine in his hand, he said, “I heard about what your superstar Diane did today.”


    Edmund''s face darkened as soon as he heard that statement.


    Ignoring the frown on his friend’s face, Yusuf continued, “If you ask me, she didn’t overreact. It’s normal for her to get jealous


    since you have been pestering Chelsea recently. | would have done worse if | were in her shoes.”


    “What the fuck are you talking about? | never pestered Chelsea!” Edmund’s eyes zed with fury.


    Raising his free hand, Yusuf uttered, “Calm down, man. | didn’t mean it that way. Anyway, you are the only one that can tell if you


    pestered her or not.”


    Edmund rolled his eyes at him and continued to drink water.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Silence filled the Lounge before Yusuf finally broke it. “It might interest you to know that there’s an opportunity for you to prove


    that you haven''t been pestering Chelsea.”


    “What opportunity?” Edmund asked, feeling depressed.


    After taking a sip of wine, Yusuf answered, “Well, your grandfather asked me to reserve a VIP private dining room at one of my


    restaurants for him tomorrow noon. He’s setting Chelsea up on a blind date with a guy.”


    Yusuf had a chain of businesses in the hospitality industry. It included a few high-end restaurants. So, it wasn’t very surprising


    that Ethan asked him for help.


    “What!” Edmund spat out a mouthful of water after hearing that statement. He set down the ss and wiped his mouth with the


    back of his hand.


    What was wrong with his grandfather? Was he being serious about matchmaking Chelsea with someone else?


    “Your grandfather asked me to keep it a secret, but now I’m telling you. If you really don’t intend to pester Chelsea, then don’t


    show up tomorrow. But if you still like her, then you’re more than wee to get involved,” Yusuf said seriously.


    Edmund replied in disgust, “Why are you being ridiculous?”


    “Oh, am | being ridiculous? | don’t think so, Edmund. Look at me. | don’t have any feelings for Chelsea, so | sincerely hope that


    she has a great time on her date tomorrow,” Yusuf retorted and shrugged.


    “Can''t you be happy for her like | am?” he then asked. Edmund answered disdainfully, “Of course | can.” Yusuf gave him a


    thumbs up and raised his ss


    He toasted to Edmund, a stubborn man. If Edmund could just own up to his feelings, things would be a lot easier.


    Early morning the next day, Chelsea received a call from Ethan. The ringing of her phone woke her up.


    He called to remind her of the blind date that he had arranged for her this noon.


    Chelsea couldn’t bear to disappoint Ethan, so she had no choice but to agree.


    She figured that when she finally met the guy Ethan set her up with, she would just be honest with him and tell him that she


    wasn''t looking to date men at the moment.


    At ten o’clock, Zuri knocked on Chelsea’s door with her personal makeup artist. Chelsea was absorbed in writing when Zuri


    arrived, and she was still in her pajamas when she opened the door


    Yesterday, Zuri told Ethan that she would dress Chelsea up for the date. Chelsea thought Zuri was just kidding, so she was


    startled when she saw Zuri standing outside her door with her makeup artist.
