Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Chapter 36

Chapter: 36 Having known her to be an insecure woman, he suspected that she wanted to find out if Chelsea still had feelings for him. “Yes, we can go together,” he finally agreed

Edmund had a plan in mind. Since Chelsea had been acting as if she didn’t give a damn about him, he wanted to see what her reaction would be if he showed up with Diane.

In the conference room of Peak Entertainment at nine o’clock the next morning.

Everything was already set for the first meeting of the play titled, The Crown. It was expected of the important players, Like the investor, director, and scriptwriter, to be present.

Chelsea was the keynote speaker in this meeting. As the scriptwriter, she needed to introduce the plot of the play and show the others the draft she made for the script.

Edmund and Diane showed up hand in hand. Luka was surprised, but he stood up to welcome them.

With a polite smile on his face, he asked meaningfully, “Long time no see, Miss Stevenson. Why are you here? Are you by chance interested in this play?”

Diane held onto Edmund’s arm. Her face was heavily made up, so her smile was rather frozen. She replied, “It has been ages since | got myself involved in one of these. I’m not interested in the play at all. | only accompanied Edmund here. Do you have any problem with that?”

Like a vigilant meerkat, Diane’s eyes looked around the room for any trace of her enemy, Chelsea. Luka raised his hands and shrugged innocently. Without saying anything more, he ushered them to their seats.

Edmund was rather impatient this morning. He looked at his wristwatch and then at the door. It was almost time for the meeting to begin, but Chelsea was nowhere in sight.

The meeting started ten minutes Later without Chelsea.

Holding a tablet, Luka stood up and said apologetically, “Good day, ladies and gentlemen. I’m sorry that our scriptwriter can’t come today. In her absence, | will brief you on the script. Please lend me your ears.”

Edmund's face darkened. Why didn’t she show up for such an important meeting? Did she think this play was something to joke with? How dare she act so wilfully?Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Just like Edmund, the others were also displeased. They began to murmur.

Diane raised her voice, seizing the opportunity to smear Chelsea’s name. “Mr. Pierce, this is the first meeting of this project. | think it’s rather irresponsible for your scriptwriter to stand us up. If she does this on the first day, how do you expect her to take the production seriously?”

Luka explained with a smile, “It wasn’t her intention to stand us up. She actually had an accident so she’s indisposed.”

An accident? Faint worry lines appeared on Edmund’s forehead when he heard this. His mind was going a zillion miles per minute.

What sort of accident? Her arm was scalded yesterday. But Chris prescribed some ointment for her. Didn’t she apply them? Was the wound infected?

Or did something else happen to her? Was it serious?

Luka’s defensive response made Diane feel embarrassed. She had spoken in an unfriendly tone.

Now that it seemed that Chelsea was away for a good reason, she feared that Edmund would think that she was deliberately taking a swipe at Chelsea.

Diane had two sides to herself. The only side she showed Edmund was her sweet, generous and tolerant side. She didn’t want him to think that she was a mean and inconsiderate woman.
