Chapter 39 Alleged Seduction
Chelsea arrived at Nelson Group thirty minutes later.She only came here because investors were considered gods in the film industry.
If not, she wouldn't have bothered to go the extra mile.She took the elevator upstairs to the floor where Edmund's office was.
Having brought lunch for him every weekday for three years, she was quite familiar with the building.
Edmund had suffered a severe stomachache and was hospitalized not long after their wedding.
The doctor said it was food poisoning and that he needed to stop eating just any food cooked outside.
To nurse him back to health and monitor his diet, Chelsea took it upon herself to cook three full- course meals for him every day.
Memories of her past visits to this place flooded her mind as she walked in the corridor.
A slight pang of pain tugged at her heart.
When Chelsea got to Edmund's office, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in," Edmund answered, sitting at his desk.
Chelsea met with a shocker once she stepped in.
Edmund was wearing a light gray shirt and a black tie around his neck.His outfit was the same as hers.
They were dressed like lovers! Since the meeting was an official one, Chelsea had deliberately put on formal clothes.She had on a light gray linen suit and a black vest.She was also wearing light make-up
today.
Edmund was fond of finding fault with her, so she deliberately looked her best.
Otherwise, he would point out that she wasn't dressed appropriately.
Never had Chelsea imagined that they would be dressed the same way today.She continued to look at Edmund with wide eyes.He also noticed the similarity in their outfits.
Staring at her with a smile, he commented, "You look so pretty today."
A deep frown clouded Chelsea's face instantly.She gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes.She knew that he meant to say something else.
Quarrelling with him was not in her agenda at all.
So, she ignored his tease and greeted politely, "Good day, Mr.Nelson."
Taking the hint, Edmund withdrew his gaze from her face and motioned at the seat in front of him.
"Have a seat."
Chelsea sat down.
Wasting no time, she took out her laptop and turned it on.
Edmund stood up and fetched two cups of coffee.He stretched out one to her.
Chelsea thanked him and was about to take it.But his hand suddenly tilted.The coffee spilled on her chest.
"Oh my!"
Chelsea exclaimed and sprang to her feet.She looked down at her stained clothes in horror while cursing in her mind.
Since she returned, she had been unfortunate to have two cups of coffee spilled on her.
And they were both done by siblings.
What bad luck!
"Oops! I'm so sorry."
Edmund hadn't intended for that to happen.He had been gazing at Chelsea's face, so he was absentminded as he handed her the cup of coffee. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
In a haste, he put down the cup in his hand and pulled out some pieces of tissue to wipe the mess on her clothes.
Chelsea's face instantly flushed as his hand came closer.
"Why are you blushing? It's no big deal.I have seen your nakedness before, so there's no point being shy," Edmund uttered when he saw her flushed face.
Chelsea was speechless.She could only look up at him with embarrassment.
Just when Edmund handed her the pieces of tissue and was about to withdraw his hand, the door of his office flung open.
Diane stormed in like a ferocious lioness.She had secretly followed Edmund after he left.It wasn't until when she saw him entering the company that she was relieved.She finally believed that he indeed had some work to do.
However, her relief was short-lived.She was about to go back home when she saw Chelsea arrive in a taxi.Her suspicion got the best of her again.She quickly parked the car and went upstairs.
"What are you doing?" Diane was delusional.
Just because Edmund's hand was close to Chelsea's chest, she concluded that he was about to take off her suit jacket.
Rage burned red rashes on her cheeks and forehead.Her thin eyebrows were also knitted.
Setting aside the gentle mask she always put on in Edmund's presence, she pointed at Chelsea and spat furiously, "You shameless bitch, what brings you here? You snatched Edmund from me by climbing into his bed four years ago.Now, you want to seduce him in his office.Who the hell do you think you are? Gosh, you are a pathetic excuse for a woman!"
Diane had the urge to pounce on Chelsea for seducing her man yet again.
For starters, she decided to slap her.She rushed over in high heels with her hand raised.
