Chapter 221

Edmund opened a bottle of water and handed it to Chelsea. He said casually, "You need to get overwhat happened. Brooding over it won't turn back the hands of time. Look on the bright side. You finallyproved to Roy that you are the best for the job."

Chelsea sharply turned to look at him with a look of surprise. How did he know what was on her mind?

Edmund smiled at her and continued, "You need to focus on the future, Chelsea. I'll ask Chris to repairyour computer and upgrade its security to the highest level."

"What? Chris knows how to fix computers?" Chris was a medical doctor to the best of Chelsea'sknowledge. It was surprising to hear that he could fix computers.

Chelsea didn't really know much about computers. She only used hers for work. Anytime she wanted towatch movies or dramas, she used the television. In her opinion, it was more interesting that way.

This was a habit she picked up during her marriage to Edmund. There was a huge video room in hisvilla that was well-equipped. It was extremely comfortable to watch television there.

Although she no longer had such a video room, she was still addicted to watching television.

Edmund replied, "Yes. He has two degrees. One in medicine, and the other in computer engineering."

"Wow! Chris is a genius!" Chelsea remarked.

Medicine was a difficult field of study on its own. Medical students always had a hard time in college, so

it was surprising that Chris could carve out time to study computer engineering without forgoing one forthe other. Only a genius could do that!

Edmund gazed at Chelsea. When she noticed it, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," he replied awkwardly, looking away.

Edmund was a little jealous after she praised his friend. He wanted to say he was also a genius. Hebadly wanted to brag that he was also a double degree holder, who majored in finance and mediacommunications.

Despite Chelsea's earlier refusal to have lunch, Edmund took her to a fancy restaurant in Norrmalm.They had lunch together.

Between mouthfuls, Edmund suddenly commented, "They must be waiting for you at the hotel to laughat you. Just let them wait a little longer."

It was the intention of Diane and Gerry to see Chelsea and Edmund fail. There was a high chance thatthey were anxiously waiting at the hotel lobby, intending to make a mockery of them once theyreturned.

It was fun to make them wait for a longer time.

When they were about to finish lunch, Chelsea received a call from Luka. He inquired about the

outcome of the meeting with Roy. She responded softly, "Everything went well. He loved my piece. Wealso got the right to adapt the book."

Luka had been very troubled lately. Chelsea didn't intend to tell him about what Diane and Gerry did atthis moment.

He was overjoyed to hear the good news. "That's great! You are the best, Chelsea! I knew you wouldsucceed. This calls for celebration. We will hold a party after I come back."

"Okay, that will be great," Chelsea replied softly.

Luka continued, "Actually, there's another reason I called. I want to ask you for a favor."

"What favor?" Chelsea inquired, her eyebrows knitting.

Luka took a deep breath and uttered with embarrassment, "Please can you take care of my cat forme?"

Chelsea was a little surprised. "Your cat?"

Luka explained, "Well, I dropped it off at a pet care store on the basis that I will go back for it after a fewdays. But the grace is about to expire. Since I am not yet back, I was wondering if you could help meby discharging it and taking care of it."

"No problem. I can do that," Chelsea said with a smile.

Luka said apologetically, "Really? I hope it won't be a bother. If you don't like pets, I can ask my other

friends to take care of it instead."

Chelsea quickly said, "No, it won't be a bother. I actually love pets. Cats and dogs are so lovely, and Ihave always wanted to have one—"

Chelsea suddenly paused. The man who prevented her from having a pet was right in front of her.

She was an animal lover, so she wanted to get a pet after she got married. She mentioned it toEdmund. But how did he react?

He gave her a blatant NO. For this reason, she had to give up the idea of owning a pet.

Chelsea could do whatever she wanted now that she was single. However, she was yet to buy a petbecause she had been preoccupied with work lately.

She loved both cats and dogs.

Now that the opportunity to take care of one came, she grabbed it without thinking twice.

"Great! Thank you." Luka was relieved.

He went on to fill her in on the cat's likes and dislikes. Chelsea also asked him a few questions about it.She smiled from ear to ear as she thought of playing with the fluffy cat soon. Her joy was so much thatshe forgot that Edmund was still sitting opposite her. She was in a world of her own.
