Chapter 856

Through the phone, Orlando said excitedly, “Chelsea, my agent told me you recommended me to bethe leading actor in Mr. Roy’s new TV show. Is that so?”

Edmund recognized it was Orlando on the other side of the phone and suddenly felt uneasy. He hadplanned to remind Trevor not to let Orlando act in this new show but it had come to nothing sinceTrevor hadn’t felt well then, and after that he had been busy dealing with the McBrides in Grafstin, thusforgetting about all about it. Everything seemed too late since Trevor had already contacted Orlando.

Chelsea had no ideas about Edmund’s little plan, she answered Orlando in a businesslike manner,“Yes, it was me. I think you’re suitable for the character.”

“Thanks a lot,” Orlando said gratefully and joyfully, “I’ve finished my filming and I’ll be back in Vertoaktoday. Why don’t we have dinner together? It’s on me.”

Chelsea refused politely, “Thanks for your invitation but what I did was not a big deal. It was just arecommendation and it’s the audition that decides whether you can act in this show or not.”

“It doesn’t matter if I can get this job. I just want to thank you for your recommendation andappreciation.” Orlando insisted.

Sitting by Chelsea, Edmund heard this clearly. Discontent, he grunted heavily and talked into her earon purpose, “Haven’t you promised me to visit our grandpa tonight?”

Chelsea turned to look at him in surprise. When on earth did he mention visiting grandpa tonight? Whathe had said was that he would stay in the office tonight to finish the work left several days before.

While Chelsea was still bewildered, Orlando asked disbelievingly from the phone, “Chelsea, is thatEdmund by your side? No way! I thought you two would never get along well with each other!”

Orlando’s voice was loud out of shock. Hearing what he said clearly, Edmund was as mad as hell andthought to himself furiously. What the hell did he mean that they would never get along well with eachother? He was a good-for-nothing! God knew how he could be successful in the show business if hehadn’t had that pretty face.

However, Edmund was too angry to realize that being an idol, there was only one thing that Orlandoneeded to do, that is, to stay pretty.

As for Chelsea, what Orlando said snapped her back and she said hastily, “We two are..This is a longstory. Anyway, you don’t need to treat me to dinner. Maybe we can save that after the audition. I amquite busy now, so bye.” Chelsea hung up before Orlando could answer. She was afraid he would saysomething that annoyed Edmund.

Putting her phone back, Chelsea talked to Edmund seriously, “Edmund, you know it’s inevitable to dealwith different kinds of men because of my job. Don’t tell me you never interact with women in yourcareer.”

She was fed up with his discontent when every time she worked with men.

But Edmund retorted confidently, “If you mind, I can stop doing business with every woman client.”

Speechless, Chelsea thought, “Stop doing business with every woman client, seriously? Just in orderto retort me?”

Edmund then continued, “So can you stop working with men?”

“Of course not,” Chelsea answered without any hesitations. Even office workers have to work with theopposite sex, let alone those Like her working in show business. He could say whatever he wanted ormet whoever he wanted, but she was not a big shot like him.

Edmund let out a grunt and stared at her in displeasure. Who gave her the courage to treat him likethis? But on his second thought, he found out it was he himself that gave her the privilege. He Lovedher so much that he was willing to spoil her.

Clenching his teeth, he pointed out, “You set Orlando’s contact name as Haz?” When Orlando calledher, he glanced at her phone and saw it was a call from “Haz”. At first, he wondered who was “Haz”and it turned out to be Orlando.

Filled with jealousy, Edmund thought the nickname Haz was too intimate and as if there had beensomething affectionate in this contact name.

But from the perspective of Chelsea, Haz was just a name to avoid unnecessary troubles. She couldn’tset the contact name as Orlando Curtis because it would get her into trouble if others saw her callingthe superstar Orlando. It would be better to give him a nickname since he was so famous. Besides, itwas fine to call your colleague by nickname.

Therefore, Chelsea answered calmly, “Is there anything wrong?”

Chelsea didn’t get the point, so Edmund tried to be straightforward, “I think this nickname isunsuitable.”

“How come? Why I use this nickname is to avoid troubles” For God’s sake, she didn’t think it improperat all.
