Chapter: 11
The reporters were taken aback by this response. They staggered backward in
fear. Edmund walked to his car and left.
A year later in Peak Entertainment.
Chelsea and Zuri chatted jovially in the elevator. When they arrived at the
administrative floor, the doors of the elevator swooshed open and they walked
out. At the same time, Edmund came out of Luka’s office with his assistant. Time
stopped when the two groups met each other in the corridor.
Zuri had just taken a sip of the coffee in her hand. At the sight of Edmund, she
almost spat out the coffee. She swallowed hard and whispered to Chelsea,
“Gosh! This is a bad omen!”
Chelsea had completed her study abroad and just returned to Vertoak today. She
came to the company to go through the new employment formalities.
Unexpectedly, she bumped into her ex-husband who she hadn’t seen for over
twelve months.
Zuri looked at Chelsea with concern. To her pleasant surprise, Chelsea looked as
calm as ever. It was as if the handsome man in front was just a total stranger in
her eyes.
The exes locked eyes for a few seconds, but Chelsea pretended as if she didn’t
see him. She had promised herself a year ago that she would treat him like a
stranger when they met again in the future. And she intended to do just that.
“You can get back to work. I’ll go in to see Mr. Pierce first.”
Chelsea waved at Zuri, who nodded. She Lowered her head, walked past
Edmund, and entered Luka’s office.
On the other hand, Edmund couldn’t pretend like he didn’t see her. His eyes were
glued to her all along.
It had been a year since he last saw her. Chelsea had changed a lot. She was
more gorgeous than ever.
Her black hair wasn’t long and straight anymore. It was now short and curly. This
new hairstyle brought out the good shape of her face, making her Look prettier.
She had delicate makeup on. Her Lips were plump and painted with red lipstick.
They were more appealing than ever. Everything about Chelsea was different.
Her beauty wasn’t inferior even when she stood beside Zuri, who was a top
actress in the country.
Edmund was so lost in her ambiance that he couldn’t help inhaling her fresh
fragrance when she walked past him.
His mind transported him back to the passionate night they shared before they
divorced. It was the best night in Edmund’s book.
“Hello, Mr. Nelson. Long time no see!” Zuri came over and greeted him Ignoring
her greeting, Edmund blurted out, “When did she get back?” “Huh? What do you
mean?” Like the actress that she was, Zuri put on a confused Look.
Edmund didn’t have the patience for her games. He pointed towards the door of
Luka’s office. “You know exactly what I’m talking about. When did she get back?”
Zuri flipped the switch of her pretense. With an enlightened look, she replied,
“Oh, you mean Chelsea. She just arrived today. It’s so sad that she encountered
bad luck on her first day!”
It was pretty obvious that meeting Edmund here was the bad luck Zuri was
talking about. After all, he had hurt her best friend.

Bold of him to have called this bad luck fate. He hurt Chelsea so much that she
never wanted to have anything to do with him ever again.
