Chapter 35 Willingness To Apologize
"No, I don't care about him! I'm just worried that he might decide not to invest in this play anymore because I told him off today.If that happens, I'd never forgive myself.I 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. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
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.
"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 I have to! I was wrong anyway to offend him and I have to bear the consequences."
Judging by the way Chelsea spoke about apologizing with ease, Luka sensed that perhaps it wasn't a big deal to her.
All of a sudden, Chelsea remembered something.She asked, "That reminds me.You mentioned that he was satisfied with the script."
"Yes, he was.During the meeting, he listened attentively as I read out the outline that you sent to me.You needed to see the look on his face.Not only did he look satisfied, but he also looked utterly surprised!" Luka replied excitedly.
"Are you kidding me? That's a first! I actually thought he wouldn't like it."
Chelsea lowered her eyes as soon as she said that.She knew Edmund to be a man who was hard to please.
His employees had a hard time working with him.
Countless times, she heard him lose his temper in the study because of what his subordinates at work did.
Sensing the change in her mood, Luka said gently, "As I said some days ago, you need to believe in yourself, Chelsea.You have studied abroad and got your skills horned.Stop belittling yourself because of Edmund or anyone else."
"I'm sorry, Mr.Pierce."
Chelsea came back to earth after hearing those encouraging words.
Being married to Edmund had shattered her self-esteem.
People often commended her, but she sometimes found herself feeling inferior.Her past experience with Edmund was why she feared that he would hate her work.
"By the way, Diane wasn't satisfied with the script" Luka suddenly added.
"Diane?"
Chelsea's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Luka glanced at her and explained, "Well, she accompanied Edmund to the meeting today."
Chelsea rolled her eyes in disgust.
After a short silence, she said, "I know exactly why she wasn't satisfied with it."
She had put two and two together.
Since the play was about a prince who lived happily ever after with someone he didn't love after his first love died, it wasn't surprising that Diane felt that Chelsea had written it according to their love triangle.
But that was far from the truth.
Chelsea had written the ending according to the suggestions Luka and Eugene made when they had a discussion.They had thoroughly examined the climax and anti-climax of the plot.
Chelsea felt that the ending was perfect and she didn't want to change it.
Staring at Luka's side profile, she asked curiously, "Do you think Edmund would ask me to rewrite the script just to please Diane?"
