Chapter: 48
“Isn’t Edmund older than you by the same margin? Or tell me, is it alright for men
to rob the cradle but not women? If you ask me, I don’t think so.”
Zuri had always been an open-minded person. She was also very free with
Chelsea. As a result, both women could hold unpretentious conversations with
each other.
It didn’t really matter to Chelsea whether or not some people chose to be cradle-
snatchers. But she couldn’t accept any man that was much younger than her as
her boyfriend.
She was still trying to proffer a solution to the problem at hand when her phone
began to ring. It was Luka who called.
At that moment, Chelsea felt like she was clutching at straws. So she didn’t mind
asking him for help. After all, desperate situations call for desperate measures.
Luka had also been a celebrity for many years. She thought that he must know
how to deal with things Like this.
After taking the call, Chelsea was yet to speak when Luka said, “Edmund just
called me.”
“Did he talk about the script?” she asked nervously. For a split second, her mind
veered off the fact that Orlando’s fans were downstairs.
“What did he say?”
“He said you should hurry to the Nelson Group in order to meet with him,” Luka
replied.
“There is a lot to discuss with you about the details of the plot. He wants to make
an informed decision about the feasibility of the script.”
“Do I have to see him right away?” Chelsea had a confused Look on her face.
“I’m off duty.”
“Maybe Mr. Nelson is a workaholic,” Luka replied smilingly. “He is still at the
company working overtime.”
At this juncture, Chelsea was stuck in a dilemma. It was awkward to stay in the
same room with Orlando. But it was more terrifying for her to discuss the script
with Edmund. She didn’t want to meet with him at all!
Chelsea arrived at Nelson Group thirty minutes later. She only came here
because investors were considered gods in the film industry. If not, she wouldn’t
have bothered to go the extra mile.
She took the elevator upstairs to the floor where Edmund’s office was. Having
brought lunch for him every weekday for three years, she was quite familiar with
the building.
Edmund had suffered a severe stomachache and was hospitalized not long after
their wedding. The doctor said it was food poisoning and that he needed to stop
eating just any food cooked outside. To nurse him back to health and monitor his
diet, Chelsea took it upon herself to cook three full-course meals for him every
day
Memories of her past visits to this place flooded her mind as she walked in the
corridor. A slight pang of pain tugged at her heart.
When Chelsea got to Edmund’s office, she took a deep breath and knocked on
the door.
“Come in,” Edmund answered, sitting at his desk. Chelsea met with a shocker
once she stepped in.
Edmund was wearing a light gray shirt and a black tie around his neck. His outfit
was the same as hers. They were dressed Like Lovers!
