Chapter 38 Edmund Asked Her To Report To Work!
Chelsea was yet to come to terms with what Orlando said.But she was aware of how famous he was.
If one of his fans happened to post the news about his whereabouts on social media, then there was a high chance that a crowd had formed downstairs.
The mere thought of that left her on the verge of breaking down.She rushed to the window and opened the curtain cautiously.
As expected, she could see bevies of beauties already gathered.
As soon as Chelsea saw them, she became overwhelmed with a feeling of helplessness.She closed the curtain and turned to Orlando.
"What should we do now?"
He lay lazily on the sofa and crossed his long legs.His calm demeanor showed that he wasn't anxious.
"I'll just stay here," Orlando replied with a smile on his face.
"But it's inappropriate for both of us to stay in a room just by ourselves." Chelsea pulled her hair with bated breath. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"We are single!"
Despite being touched by his heartfelt concern for her well-being, Chelsea was skeptical about letting him stay overnight.She hoped that they could come up with an idea to sneak him out without his followers finding out.
Else, she would be in serious trouble.
"There are many people living in this building aren't there? No one will know that I'm here," Orlando said reassuringly.
"You know what? Contact your agency.Tell them to send some members of their staff to come and ask the crowd to leave." Chelsea suggested.
"After they are all gone, you'll follow suit!"
Instead of doing as he was told, Orlando grabbed a pillow and held it in his arms.
Then he said pitifully, "I came to see you from a long distance.I'm tired and sleepy.Do you think driving me out is the right thing to do?"
When Chelsea heard his question, she heaved a sigh and cast a stern gaze at him.
"You have to go.Otherwise, you will be ruined if rumors start to spread."
She had a point.
Talks about a young actor being involved with a divorced woman who was six years older than him would have a big impact on Orlando.
While Chelsea was abroad, she and Orlando met several times.They also had dinner together on multiple occasions.So she treated him as a friend.
Once, Zuri gave her a hint pertaining to Orlando having a crush on her.
But she didn't think that was possible.How could that be when she hadn't known him for a long time? That wasn't all.What about the age difference between them?
"What's wrong with the six year gap between you and him?" Zuri asked her casually.
"Isn't Edmund older than you by the same margin? Or tell me, is it alright for men to rob the cradle but not women? If you ask me, I don't think so."
Zuri had always been an open-minded person.She was also very free with Chelsea.
As a result, both women could hold unpretentious conversations with each other.It didn't really matter to Chelsea whether or not some people chose to be cradle-snatchers.
But she couldn't accept any man that was much younger than her as her boyfriend.
She was still trying to proffer a solution to the problem at hand when her phone began to ring.It was Luka who called.
At that moment, Chelsea felt like she was clutching at straws.So she didn't mind asking him for help.
After all, desperate situations call for desperate measures.
Luka had also been a celebrity for many years.She thought that he must know how to deal with things like this.
After taking the call, Chelsea was yet to speak when Luka said, "Edmund just called me."
"Did he talk about the script?" she asked nervously.
For a split second, her mind veered off the fact that Orlando's fans were downstairs.
"What did he say?"
"He said you should hurry to the Nelson Group in order to meet with him," Luka replied.
"There is a lot to discuss with you about the details of the plot.He wants to make an informed decision about the feasibility of the script."
"Do I have to see him right away?"
Chelsea had a confused look on her face.
"I'm off duty."
"Maybe Mr.Nelson is a workaholic," Luka replied smilingly.
"He is still at the company working overtime."
At this juncture, Chelsea was stuck in a dilemma.It was awkward to stay in the same room with Orlando.
But it was more terrifying for her to discuss the script with Edmund.She didn't want to meet with him at all!
