Chapter 29

Unexpected Absence

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.

What sort of accident? Her arm was scalded yesterday.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмBut Chris prescribed some
ointment for her.Didn't she apply them? Was the wound infected? Or did something else happen to
her? Was it serious? Luka's defensive response made Diane feel embarrassed.She had spoken in an
unfriendly tone.

Now that it seemed that Chelsea was away for a good reason, she feared that Edmund would think that
she was deliberately taking a swipe at Chelsea.



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.

Seeing that everyone was calm again, Luka walked to the podium to begin the briefing.

Earlier this morning, Chelsea had sent him a soft copy of the outline when she realized that she
couldn't make it.

"Didn't she tell you what kind of accident she had?" Edmund asked, just when Luka mounted the
podium.

Diane clenched her fists under the table.Her jealousy spiked up.

Edmund's tone was formal, but she felt that he was genuinely worried about Chelsea.She was
surprised at herself for feeling that way.

After all, it was no secret that Edmund loathed Chelsea.She tried to banish the jealous thoughts from
her mind.But a voice continued to tell her that Edmund actually cared about Chelsea.

Fixing the microphone close to his mouth, Luka replied slowly, "Well, I didn't ask her.Since she didn't
mention it, I didn't want to pry.I think it's best to respect her privacy."

This was actually a lie.Luka knew exactly why Chelsea didn't show up.
