But it wasn't too late for her to correct her mistakes.
Luka raised his head and looked at Chelsea with wide eyes. Then, he smiled and said, “Wow. You look so beautiful today.” “Thank you,” Chelsea replied shyly.
She sat down next to Luka and asked, “Mr. Pierce, why did you suddenly decide to be the director of this play?”
With a grin on his face, Luka answered, “I’d rather direct than let the task fall on someone else. If I’m in charge, | can make sure that there will be no troubles or delays.”

If it weren’t for her, Luka wouldn’t have assumed the directorship. ALL he would’ve needed to do was to be the overall person-in- charge of the whole thing. He didn’t need to do all the tedious work.
Luka understood the real meaning behind Chelsea’s question. He said gently, “It doesn’t matter. I’ve always wanted to try directing a play anyway. Who knows? Maybe I'll succeed as a director as well.”
Another reason was that his partner would cback soon. He could leave the company’s affairs to his partner to deal with. Chelsea still apologized in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Mr. Pierce. It’s all my fault.”
Luka comforted her, “No, it’s not. My decision has nothing to do with you. Don’t think too much. Besides, you shouldn’t take the blfor other people’s disrespect to you.”
When Edmund walked into the meeting room, he happened to see Luka looking so intently at Chelsea. He seemed to be comforting her.
Edmund glanced at Luka unhappily. Gerry and the assistant director weren't good people, but Luka wasn’t much better than them in Edmund's eyes.
Edmund regretted agreeing to let Luka be the director. Being the director of the play only created an excellent opportunity for Luka to get close to Chelsea.
The meeting finally began. Edmund was seated at the head of the table. His mind wasn’t on what the first person to speak was saying. After staring blankly at the table for a while, he Looked up. His eyes fell on Chelsea’s beautiful neck.
An image of him kissing her neck popped up in his head. He suddenly felt thirsty. He cleared his throat, grabbed the bottle of water in front of him, and gulped down half of its content.

The message contained only three wink emojis.
It was obvious that Yusuf was teasing him for preventing Chelsea from going on the blind date. Edmund scoffed and rolled his eyes. He didn’t respond to the message. Why was Yusuf such a gossip? How did he spoil Chelsea’s plan? What was more important? Her work, or the blind date? Humph!
The meeting was in full swing at this time. They discussed the change of the director before going on to deliberate on the perfect actor to play the male protagonist role.
The others mentioned a ton of great actors, but Chelsea had a different actor in mind. She couldn't think of any other actor to play the role well.
Edmund's eyes were on Chelsea as she watched everyone contribute without uttering a word. He sensed that she had a suggestion to make. So, he tapped his fingers on the table and asked, “You haven’t said a word, Chelsea. Which actor do you think is the most suitable for the role?”
