Chapter 45 Problem Solved

Chelsea had just finished having breakfast when she received a text message from Luka.

It read, "I have just been informed by the Nelson Group that you don't need to revise the script.We canproceed to the next step now.By the way, they also assigned someone to oversee this project inMr.Nelson's stead.His representative is Fay, who also happens to be his assistant.She will report to himduring the production.You don't have to quit now.Just continue working on the script."

Chelsea's mind went blank once she finished reading the message.It came as a shocker to her that thescript would no longer be revised.

Given that Diane had created a scene at his office last night, Chelsea had thought Edmund wouldmake the work harder for her or worse still, pull the plug on the investment.She thought he would go toany lengths to please his fiancée.

The fact that the Nelson Group assigned someone to oversee the project in his stead was even moreshocking.It was true that she didn't want to see him.

But it seemed like someone had read her mind before she could opt out.Her biggest wish had beengranted.

Chelsea wanted to know who made these decisions, so she called Luka immediately.

"Hello, Mr.Pierce.I just got your message.Why did Nelson Group assign someone else to oversee theproject?"

"Oh, about that.I figured that you were serious about quitting because of Edmund, so I made it clear tohim last night.I also made a proposition to him.It was either he picked a representative or I pulled theplug on our deal after you quit," Luka explained.

Chelsea was short of words.

The fact that Luka put her career first and went against a big investor touched her heart.She wasgrateful to have such a boss.

"Thank you so much, Mr.Pierce."

Despite hearing Luka's explanation, she was still confused as to why Edmund had danced to their tune.

He was an arrogant man who never took orders from anyone, let alone from business partners whoneeded his money.

"You don't need to thank me, Chelsea.I only went the extra mile because I believe in you.Even ifEdmund decided not to invest in the play again, I could have gotten another investor easily.It's no bigdeal."

"I promise not to let you down, Mr.Pierce.I'll put in my all for this project."

Chelsea couldn't help declaring her steadfastness in making the play a success.

Performing excellently was the best reward she could give Luka for banking on her.And she intended todo just that.

Luka didn't say much.He just acknowledged her appreciation and reminded her to finalize the script assoon as possible before hanging up.

"Woo-hoo! All the problems I was facing regarding the project have been solved.I don't have to quit,Zuri!"

Chelsea's joy knew no bounds.She jumped up and went to hug Zuri tightly.She was so happy that shedidn't need to revise the script or meet with Edmund concerning the project again.

Zuri, who was being crushed in her friend's embrace, murmured, "Wow! Why did Edmundcompromise? This is incredible."

To some extent, Zuri knew Edmund because she was also a part of the film industry.She knew thatEdmund wanted Nelson Entertainment to become a household name even though it wasn't anythingimportant for the powerful Nelson Group.He had been investing a lot of money in different movies andTV plays over the past few years.

For every film he invested in, the production team had to satisfy his every whim.

This was the first time Edmund wasn't treated like a god.

Thus, Zuri was shocked that he compromised.

Was it because he wanted to please Chelsea? It was hard to fathom the reasons for his actions.

Zuri had to shoot today, so Chelsea bade her farewell and took a taxi to her apartment.

She quickly checked everywhere in the apartment for Orlando.

It wasn't until she discovered that he was not here that she finally let out a sigh.

Just when Chelsea plopped down on her sofa, she got a text message from Orlando.He revealed thathe left not long after she left last night.

His company had distracted the attention of the fans and he was able to sneak out without theirknowledge.

"Thank goodness.Please don't show up at my doorstep again,"

Chelsea muttered a prayer.She didn't want to get into trouble because of Orlando.Her time wasprecious and she intended to use it for work.

Orlando left behind the large bag of snacks that he brought last night.

There were also some bottles of ointment for bruises and scalds in the bag.

"Aww! This is so thoughtful of him!"

Chelsea's lips curled up in a smile as she looked at the wound on her arm.She had to admit thatOrlando was such a caring young man.
