Chapter 44 Chelsea's Decision

The fact that Edmund threw his phone away in anger only meant one thing; he didn't agree with Luka'sproposal.

Luka didn't bother calling him again.

After watching the way his friend reacted, Yusuf rubbed his chin and put two and two together.He thensaid, "I think Luka has a crush on Chelsea."

Edmund's face darkened.His chest heaved up and down as he kept mute.

"Come to think of it.An investor is a god in the film industry.Everyone is expected to do their best toplease him.In this case, it makes no sense that he wants you not to be directly involved in theproduction process.You have the right to lay off and bring on anyone at any point in time.Since Chelseadoesn't want to work with you, she should be the one to take a walk.How dare Luka ask you to appointa representative?"

Since Luka was taking Edmund out instead of Chelsea, Yusuf came to the conclusion that he kept hernot only because she was talented, but also because he had a crush on her.He felt that Luka didn'twant Edmund anywhere near Chelsea because he wanted to have the opportunity to woo her in thefuture.

Edmund knew exactly what his friend was thinking.He felt that it was reasonable.However, he justglanced at him coldly, grabbed the bottle of wine, and gulped down most of its content in the blink of aneye.

Since the meeting, Edmund had figured that Luka had feelings for Chelsea.But he never thought Lukacould go as far as telling him off just to protect her.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм After all, alot was at stake for him if

Edmund pulled the plug on the deal.

Yusuf stood up and grabbed the bottle of wine from Edmund's hand.He gave it to the waiter and askedhim to leave for fear that his friend would grab it again.He didn't want Edmund to have a stomachache.

After all, only Chelsea could take good care of him.But that couldn't happen now.

Diane, a self-proclaimed princess, was the one by his side now.She was so lazy that she made otherpeople do almost everything for her.

How could she take good care of Edmund? In public, she behaved like a caring and good wife-to-be.But it was all fake.She couldn't do any serious chore for him.

Yusuf had met Diane a few times.She accompanied Edmund to parties occasionally.

Judging by the way she behaved, he could tell that she was a wolf in sheep's clothing.She pretendedthat she loved Edmund, but he could see through her lies.

Chelsea didn't know how to cook when she got married to Edmund.But after he was hospitalized forfood poisoning, she started to spend hours in the kitchen.She became a good cook in no time.She haddone all that for Edmund out of love.

But what did Diane do despite declaring her undying love at every given opportunity? Nothing! © Shewas always posting pictures of her cooking on social media.

Only god knows if her food was edible.

Yusuf couldn't fully understand why his friend settled for such a silly woman, and why he still hadn'tseen her for who she truly was.

Did he overlook her shortcomings because he was mesmerized by her physical beauty? Diane stoodout among her peers because of her facial beauty and her breathtaking figure.It was expected thatEdmund loved her appearance.

Men are usually drawn by what they see.It was common for them to overlook a woman's bad behaviorif she was gorgeous.

Yusuf stared at Edmund's unhappy face without saying anything.

Chelsea had drunk a lot in Zuri's home.

A lot of strange things had happened to her tonight.

First, Orlando, the heartthrob of many drama fans, paid her a visit.

Second, Luka protected her secretly.

As she drank herself to a stupor, she wondered what Edmund thought of her now.His actions wereunfathomable to her.

Chelsea and Zuri had a late-night chat.It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that they finally fellasleep.

Despite sleeping so late, Chelsea woke up at the crack of dawn to make a delicious breakfast for herfriend.

Zuri was pleased to see the table set when she woke up.

As she munched on a mouthful of toast, she blew Chelsea's trumpet.

"Hmm! This is so delicious.As much as I hate to say this, I need to thank Edmund for giving me theopportunity to taste your cooking.Well, you know, you used to cook for him only."

Chelsea smiled without saying anything.

Recalling how she used to tend to Edmund, she felt pity for herself, so she didn't want to talk about it.

"Are you serious about quitting the new project?" Zuri asked, taking a sip of steaming hot coffee.

In a sad tone, Chelsea responded, "It took me a full year to recover from the heartbreak that Edmundcaused me.I still have nightmares of those three perilous years.Edmund and Diane are from my uglypast.The sight of them reminds me of the pain.I always regret not standing up for myself when theymade my life a living hell.Now that I am in a better place, I don't want history to repeat itself.And that'swhy I have decided to quit.My mental health would continue to improve if they are out of my sight."

Chelsea had thought that she could put up with Edmund being the funder of the play.She wanted to doit to better her chances in the industry.But it turned out to be a wrong move.She was alreadyexperiencing so much trouble even though they were only at the first stage of the project.Her efforts todraw a line between Edmund and Diane were all in vain.She didn't want to have anything to do withthem, especially Diane, who was a pain in the ass.

Zuri reached out and held Chelsea's hand tightly.

"I'm with you, dearie."
