Chapter 213

"Yeah, I know," Chelsea said. It was impossible not to be informed about it when the news waseverywhere.

A few days ago, it was exposed that Diane had been hyping her relationship with Edmund. After that,she announced that she was going to terminate the contract with the Nelson Group. She also wentahead and announced the establishment of her own film and television company, called FairylandCulture.

Coming from Diane, it wasn't much of a surprise. Besides, she had nothing to worry about financiallysince she had a strong capital from Philip.

Instead of staying in the spotlight as a star and receiving insults from the public, she preferred to set upher own company where she was going to be boss.

"I heard that she had been poaching people like directors, scriptwriters and stars. If an evil person likeher led a company, it will definitely become a bad one in the entertainment circle, and will cause troublefor everyone," Zuri said with a frown.

Chelsea nodded in agreement. "You're right. If she doesn't do things right, then her company won't holdout for long."

Zuri nodded and added, "I heard that Diane also wants to buy the copyright of Roy's new book. She'sgoing to make the scriptwriters of her company participate in the competition for the right of adapting."

Chelsea frowned slightly when she heard this. She hadn't heard about this particular fact, but she hada bad feeling about it.

She wasn't sure why she was feeling this way about it, but it was making her anxious. She sipped ather coffee, hoping it would help with her uneasiness.

Since it was a trial test and Roy only wanted the best, he chose the most complicated part of his bookand sent to film and television companies for the scriptwriters to adapt.

It only took Chelsea one day to finish adapting the extract that Roy sent. When she was done, she e-mailed it to Luka and Edmund.

After reading it, Luka called Chelsea. When she came in, he said with a smile, "This is great work! Boththe plot and the language are excellent. I'm sure you'll win."

"Thank you," she answered shyly.

Edmund just replied, "Good work."

"Thank you," she texted him.

After that, they didn't exchange any other words.

Two days later, Chelsea received a call from Fay. Roy had chosen several companies after the workthey handed in, and wanted them to go to Norrmalm where he was going to take his final decision. Fayjust wanted to inform Chelsea that she would be going with Edmund.

As expected, Chelsea wasn't pleased to be going on a trip alone with Edmund. As a matter of fact, itunsettled and upset her.

Their relationship was in a very complicated and embarrassing state. Going on a business trip togetherwasn't going to help the situation in any way. She didn't even want to be in the same room with him,what more of being alone on a long trip with him? "Why don't you go? Why does it have to be him?"Chelsea pouted although Fay couldn't see her.

Fay chuckled and said, "Who exactly do you think I am in this company? I'm not qualified to negotiatesuch a big project. Mr. Nelson has to be there personally to take care of it."

"Okay then. When are we going?" she asked with a helpless sigh.

Fay couldn't help but laugh at Chelsea's reaction. "You know, Mr. Nelson has changed a lot. You haveno reason to be nervous."

Chelsea just sighed. She wasn't nervous or scared. She just felt embarrassed, but there was no needcorrecting Fay.

If only Edmund had kept his mouth shut and kept his thoughts to himself that day in the warehouse,then she wouldn't have had any problem being in his presence. Why did he have to tell her that he stillloved her?

Fay just shook her head and continued, "Mr. Nelson has booked flight tickets for Norrmalm and theplane takes off this afternoon. You will be able to rest after you arrive, since you'll be meeting Roytomorrow morning. So, pack your things now. The driver will come to pick you up soon and take you to

the airport."

"Okay." They hung up, and Chelsea started packing.

Forty minutes later, the car Edmund had arranged came to pick Chelsea up. During the whole ride tothe airport, she didn't see any sign of Edmund, and he didn't contact her either.

Since he didn't show up throughout the ride, she sincerely hoped that he would be late, and then missthe flight. That way, she wouldn't have to go with him.

However, Chelsea's hope was shattered when she got into the VIP lounge and saw Edmund.

He stood there looking elegant in a black suit and talking on the phone. He didn't even realize thatalmost everyone was looking at him with admiration.

With a dejected sigh, she pushed her suitcase and went in.

Edmund glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and continued talking on the phone as if he hadn'tseen her.

Deciding to ignore him, Chelsea went in and chose the farthest seat from Edmund.

Settled in her seat, Chelsea took out her phone and was about to put it on when she saw a shadowcover the light above her.

She closed her eyes as if praying for courage, and then looked up to replace Edmund arrogantly sitting onthe sofa beside her.

"Mr. Nelson," she greeted with a forced smile.

Edmund nodded, and then made a barely audible sound in his throat in reply.

Chelsea was relieved that he wasn't going to talk to her, but a few seconds later, he said, "Why are yousitting so far away from me? Are you scared of me?"

"Of course not! I just didn't want to interrupt your call!"

Edmund snorted and said, "You know, you are really good at lying."

Chelsea rolled her eyes and tried to keep her calm.

Why did he have to expose her like that?

Couldn't he be well-mannered and try maintaining a respectable relationship with her?
