Chapter 30 Suspected Rivals
Today was the anniversary of Chelsea's mother's death.It was her practice to go to her mother's tomb every morning on her death anniversary.
The cemetery was in the suburbs.
Chelsea had rushed to the suburbs last night in hopes that she would be able to make it back in time for the meeting after visiting her mother.However, it rained so much.
On the way back to Vertoak, the bus she took somersaulted after entering a small pothole.
Chelsea survived the accident with a mere scratch, but the paramedic in the ambulance insisted on taking all the passengers to the hospital.
The checkup was taking time, so Chelsea knew she couldn't make it to the meeting.
Luka deliberately refused to tell Edmund what exactly happened to ChelseaHis instincts told him that Edmund had feelings for Chelsea, so he wanted to confirm if it was true. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Edmund squinted at Luka when he heard that simple excuse.He wasn't a man to be fooled that easily.
As an employer, he knew that every employee ought to give full explanations for their absence.And this was why he didn't believe that Chelsea didn't tell Luka what type of accident she had.He couldn't help but wonder why Luka was keeping him in the dark.
Edmund could smell a rat.
Several possibilities swirled in his head for a while.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that Luka had a crush on Chelsea.
Luka was a top player in the entertainment industry.
In his early years, he was a singer before he changed to an actor.He starred in many movies and plays.
Due to his great talent and good looks, he became a household name in no time.He also won several awards during his peak.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмIt wasn't until a few years ago that he decided to take the backseat and start his own production company—Peak Entertainment with his good friend.
Luka had a long-time girlfriend when he was young.
They were always used as the perfect example of a good couple.
Sadly, they broke up after so many years due to personality differences.
There had been tons of rumors linking Luka to many celebrities, like actresses, models, and media personalities.However, he was still single.
Faced with young Orlando and forty-year-old Luka, Edmund's self-esteem deflated.He felt like his thirty-two-year-old self was no match for these men.
Chelsea had eyes for good things.
Edmund became gloomy at the thought of them being together.
Luka had gone halfway through the presentation when it finally drew Edmund's attention.He had looked forward to seeing the outline that Chelsea would put together because he felt she would perform woefully.But he turned out to be wrong.
As he listened to Luka's narration, he was immersed in the plot.He was so excited that he wished the production team could begin filming at once.
Edmund had come across many outlines since he started investing in films and plays.
This outline was arguably the best.He was certain that this play would be a blockbuster.
Luka's praise for Chelsea turned out to be deserving.
Indeed, she was a good script writer whose writing could captivate the hearts of people.Her design pattern was broad and interesting.
This talented side of Chelsea wasn't the one he knew at home all those years.
Once the meeting ended, Edmund went straight to Luka's office, forgetting that he came with Diane.
Diane's good acting skills came in handy for her this morning.
A smile was plastered on her face even though she was being ignored.
However, her heart ached and she inwardly cursed non-stop.
Aargh! Why did Edmund no longer pay attention to her now that Chelsea was back? Diane gritted her teeth, wishing she could just get rid of Chelsea once and for all.
She decided to do anything within her power to stop them from getting back together.
Edmund went straight to the point as soon as he entered Luka's office.
"You know exactly what happened to Chelsea.So, tell me."
Luka poured himself a glass of water slowly and avoided answering Edmund's question.
"Mr.Nelson, please have a seat.I thought you came to talk about the script.Tell me, what do you think about it?"
Edmund remained standing.
He pointed at him and asked impatiently, "What's your deal, Luka? Why are you keeping me in the dark?"
Both men locked eyes for a few seconds that seemed like a thousand years.
Luka finally broke his gaze and wrote down a series of numbers on a sheet of paper.He then handed it to Edmund.
"Here you go.That's her phone number.You can call to ask her yourself."
Judging by Edmund's attitude, Luka deduced that he didn't know today was the anniversary of Chelsea's mother's death.He found this ridiculous owing to the fact that Edmund had been married to Chelsea for three years.
This proved to Luka that what he heard in the past was true.
Edmund had been an uncaring husband.Luka sneered inwardly.Why was he so concerned about Chelsea now that they were divorced? Could it be that he realized his mistakes? Was he trying to get back with her? Or did he just think that Chelsea still cared about him? What a delusional man!
