Capítulo 193


    The director was speechless for a moment.


    Edmund shed him a cold look and then moved on to the next item on the agenda.


    After the meeting, Diane’s agent, Katharine Acosta, stayed.


    Katharine said to Edmund, “Mr. Nelson, Miss Stevenson called me and said that she wanted to continue with her work.”


    After Diane stopped acting, Katharine kept working for the Nelson Group and handled two other talents.


    Perhaps it was because Edmund didn’t have a good impression of Diane that he also disliked her agent.


    So he replied in an indifferent tone, “Fine. You can make the arrangements for her.”


    Katharine continued, “I heard that the female supporting role in The Crown hasn’t been filled yet. | wonder if she can have that


    part in the y.”


    Edmund felt even more disgusted. He said impatiently, “I don’t do casting, Katharine. If Diane is interested in the role, then you


    two should get in touch with Luka and find out when he’s holding auditions.”


    Katharine didn’t know how to respond for a moment. In the past, whenever Edmund invested in a y, he always green-lit


    whatever role Diane fancied.


    But now, he was going to make Diane audition. But he was the main investor. Couldn''t he just let Diane have the role without


    making her jump through hoops?


    Obviously, Edmund was distancing himself from Diane. As much as possible, he didn’t want her to act in The Crown.


    Katharine had no choice but to agree.


    “Very well.” She was just passing on a message anyway. As for what Diane wanted to do, it had nothing to do with her.


    After Katharine left, Edmund turned to Fay and said, “Contact Chelsea and ask her to see Keith with meter.”


    Last time, Chelsea said that Keith was the best candidate for the role of the hero, so Edmund invited Keith.


    As the scriptwriter, Chelsea should help him persuade Keith to act in the y.


    Fay replied, “Yes, sir.”


    Ten minutester, Fay trotted over and reported to Edmund, “Mr. Nelson, Miss Williams isn’t feeling well. She has a _ terrible


    stomachache today and can’t get out of bed. I’m afraid she can’te with you to meet with Keith, sir.”


    ““Stomachache?” Edmund asked with a sneer. Her excuse was miserable, really.


    Fay exined on Chelsea’s behalf.


    “| don’t think she’s lying. A woman’s period can get really ufortable.” Chelsea’s voice sounded very weak on the phone. And


    Fay was aware that some women suffered from dysmenorrhea, being a woman herself. Chelsea’s was a stomachache, hers was


    a headache. Always, when her period came, Fay would have a headache and would be unable to get through without taking


    painkillers.


    A frown formed on Edmund''s face. Why hadn''t he been aware that Chelsea used to feel ufortable during her period? He


    had never heard of any physical difort from Chelsea in the past three years, besides an asional cold. He realized that he


    hadn''t gotten to know Chelsea properly before. He then said, “Ask Luka toe with me.”


    Fay nodded, thinking of what urredst night. She added, “During dinner togetherst night, Chelsea said that Mr. Pierce


    confessed his love to her.”N?velDrama.Org content rights.
