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 upcoming actor.
“You may not have heard of him before. His name is Orlando Curtis. He’s in his
early twenties. I must say that he’s so handsome,” Yusuf said, dragging his last
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 you coming over?”
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 Orlando. However,
it wasn’t a date. They actually met for another reason.
Zuri had starred in an urban rom-com. 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 Orlando for the role. His acting was nothing short of
perfect. He completely owned the role. The drama was a success 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.
Orlando’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 Orlando happily. In the
middle of the meal, a waiter knocked on the door of the private dining room and
walked in carrying a platter of steak in his hand.
Orlando 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 this
lady,” the waiter explained with a smile.
“Mr. Nelson?” Chelsea’s face darkened once she heard that name. She pursed
her lips and glanced 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 accept the steak.
With a faint smile, she said to the waiter apologetically, “I’m sorry,
