Chapter: 35
Having worked with Edmund for so many years, Leo was aware of how much he
hated Chelsea.
He never understood why his boss preferred the troublesome Diane to Chelsea,
who was calm and collected. But he never dared to say anything.
“No, there will be no need for that.” Edmund stopped him, much to his surprise.
“Mr. Nelson, I don’t understand.” Leo looked at his boss with confusion written all
over his face. Judging by how much Edmund used to express his hatred for
Chelsea, he had reasoned that he wouldn’t want to set eyes on her or even allow
her to work on the project he was funding
Edmund leaned his back against his seat. He then explained, “Now that Luka
recommended her, we have to believe that she’s up to the task. There will be no
need to take her off the production team. More so, I don’t want to mix our
personal issues with business.”
The hidden meaning of his words was that he wouldn’t kick Chelsea out of the
project just because he had a prejudice against her.
Leo nodded.
“Okay, I understand now. Tomorrow is the first general meeting for the project.
Everyone involved in the play will be present. Will you attend it?”
“Yes.” Edmund was now skimming through some work files, so he replied without
raising his head. Leo nodded and left to make the necessary arrangement .
Once the door was shut, Edmund raised his head. There was an indescribable
sparkle in his eyes. He looked forward to seeing the draft of the script Chelsea
would show them tomorrow.
Not long after he concentrated on his work again, a call from Diane came
through.
“Baby, I miss you so much. We haven’t spent time together for a Long time. I’m
so lonely,” Diane said in a sobbing tone as soon as he answered the call.
Edmund rubbed between his eyebrows and responded, “Work has been hectic. I
currently have my hands full.”
“Oh, sorry about that. Make sure you don’t stress yourself too much. Anyway, do
you have any plans tomorrow?” Diane put on the mask of a caring girlfriend.
Edmund didn’t try to hide the truth. He replied indifferently, “I have a meeting to
attend about a new play tomorrow.”
“Anew play?” Diane exclaimed with joy.
“That’s great. I’LL accompany you there. It has been a long time since I went to
such meetings. I’d like to attend this one since I’m still interested in acting. Let’s
go together, okay?”
A few seconds passed before Edmund finally said seriously, “Diane, you
shouldn’t have stopped acting. Why did you quit when you are still interested in
it?”
He never told Diane to stop acting. It was she who decided out of the blue to quit
on the basis that it was stressful. He couldn’t understand why she did that when
she was still interested in it.
