“| said that today is the anniversary of her mother’s death. She went to the suburb yesterday evening. After visiting her mother’s tomb, she took the first bus coming to Vertoak. Unfortunately, the bus had an accident on the way. She was then sent to the hospital.”
Her mother’s death anniversary was today? What the hell! Edmund suffered a banging headache in a split second. His hand that was holding the phone became sweaty.
Although he knew that Chelsea had lost her mother many years ago, he didn’t know the location of her tomb or the date of her death anniversary.
There was a high possibility that Chelsea mentioned it to him before and he never bore it in mind. It was also possible that she never told him because he always treated her badly.
Despite Chelsea’s grieving state, she had made a concerted effort to come back in time for the meeting. She obviously had the right attitude to work. But he had accused her of being unserious without Listening to her first. Edmund almost pulled his hair out at this moment.
Meanwhile, Chelsea was sitting in the front passenger seat of Luka’s car. Her eyes were slightly red. She wasn’t sad because Edmund scolded her. On the contrary, she was angry with him.
Edmund's behavior was getting on her nerves. He was giving her a hard time even though she was out of his life. On second thought, Chelsea realized that she wasn’t completely out of his life. He was the investor for the new play, so she was his employee in a way.
Investors were regarded as gods in the entertainment industry. They could hire and fire anyone at any point in time. As a result, Edmund had the right to question her for being absent today.
Now that Chelsea realized that her anger was unwarranted, she became remorseful. She Looked at Luka, who was driving beside her, and asked worriedly, “Mr. Pierce, do you think Edmund will be mad at me for what | did today? | was wrong, right?”
Atrace of disappointment flickered in Luka. Trying to sound as casual as he could, he asked, “Why are you so worried that he will be mad? Do you still care about him?”
“No, | don’t care about him! I’m just worried that he might decide not to invest in this play anymore because | told him off today. If that happens, I’d never forgive myself. | just hope he doesn’t.”
Chelsea had a worried expression as she denied Luka’s guess
The disappointment Luka felt disappeared immediately. He sighed once Chelsea made it clear that she no longer had feelings for her ex-husband.
Smiling brightly, he said, “So you are worried about the funding? Don’t worry. Edmund is not that petty and he’s a good businessman. Investing in the play will bring him great profit. I’m sure he wouldn’t give up such an opportunity because you were rude to him.”
Chelsea held her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She muttered, “Thank God.”
Luka and the other members of the production team were looking forward to shooting the play and releasing it. If they lost Edmund's investment, it would shatter them all. Chelsea couldn't bear to see them go through that.
She didn’t plan to speak to Edmund in that manner. However, when his call came through, she still hadn’t gotten over the shock of the accident. She cursed at him and even sent a rude message to him via his assistant in a fit of pique.
It wasn’t until she calmed down and thought it through that she realized she had overreacted.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“What if... What if he’s actually angry?” Luka teased her, keeping his eyes on the road.
“If he’s really angry, I'll go and apologize to him,” Chelsea answered without hesitation.
“Really?”
Nodding her head, Chelsea replied, “Of course | have t anyway to offend him and | have to bear the consequences
