“Chelsea wants to quit the project. She’s an asset to the production team. If you want us to continue cooperating, you need to appoint someone to represent you during the project.”
Luka expressed that Edmund wasn’t welcwithout mincing words. Edmund was furious.
“Chelsea said she wants to quit?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes, she did,” Luka answered truthfully.
Edmund lost it. He grunted and threw his phone to the wall.
What the hell was wrong with Chelsea? How could she quit wilfully just because she experienced something unpleasant? Why was she so quick-tempered now? And when did she becsuch an early quitter?
The fact that Edmund threw his phone away in anger only meant one thing; he didn’t agree with Luka’s proposal.
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 then said, “I think Luka has a crush on Chelsea.”
Edmund's face darkened. His chest heaved up and down as he kept mute.
“Cto think of it. An investor is a god in the film industry. Everyone is expected to do their best to please him. In this case, it makes no sense that he wants you not to be directly involved in the production process. You have the right to lay off and bring on anyone at any point in time. Since Chelsea doesn’t want to work with you, she should be the one to take a walk. How dare Luka ask you to appoint a representative?”
Since Luka was taking Edmund out instead of Chelsea, Yusuf cto the conclusion that he kept her not only because she was talented, but also because he had a crush on her.
He felt that Luka didn’t want Edmund anywhere near Chelsea because he wanted to have the opportunity to woo her in the future.
Edmund knew exactly what his friend was thinking. He felt that it was reasonable. However, he just glanced at him coldly, grabbed the bottle of wine, and gulped down most of its content in the blink of an eye.

Yusuf stood up and grabbed the bottle of wine from Edmund's hand. He gave it to the waiter and asked him 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 other people 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 pretended that 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 for food poisoning, she started to spend hours in the kitchen. She beca good cook in no time. She had done all that for Edmund out of love.
But what did Diane do despite declaring her undying love at every given opportunity? Nothing! She was 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’t seen her for who she truly was. Did he overlook her shortcomings because he was mesmerized by her physical beauty?
Diane stood out among her peers because of her facial beauty and her breathtaking figure. It was expected that Edmund loved her appearance.
