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 I got myself involved in one of
these. I'm not interested in the play at all. I 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, I 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?
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. I 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.

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. The content is on
