NovelEnglishThrough the phone, Orlando said excitedly, “Chelsea, my agent toldyou recommendedto be the leading actor in Mr. Roy’s new TV show. Is that so?”
Edmund recognized it was Orlando on the other side of the phone and suddenly felt uneasy. He had planned to remind Trevor not to let Orlando act in this new show but it had cto nothing since Trevor hadn’t felt well then, and after that he had been busy dealing with the McBrides in Grafstin, thus forgetting about all about it. Everything seemed too late since Trevor had already contacted Orlando.
Chelsea had no ideas about Edmund’s little plan, she answered Orlando in a businesslike manner, “Yes, it was me. I think you’re suitable for the character.”
“Thanks a lot,” Orlando said gratefully and joyfully, “I’ve finished my filming and I’ll be back in Vertoak today. Why don’t we have dinner together? It’s on me.”
Chelsea refused politely, “Thanks for your invitation but what I did was not a big deal. It was just a recommendation and it’s the audition that decides whether you can act in this show or not.”

“It doesn’t matter if I can get this job. I just want to thank you for your recommendation and appreciation.” Orlando insisted.
Sitting by Chelsea, Edmund heard this clearly. Discontent, he grunted heavily and talked into her ear on purpose, “Haven’t you promisedto visit our grandpa tonight?”
Chelsea turned to look at him in surprise. When on earth did he mention visiting grandpa tonight? What he had said was that he would stay in the office tonight to finish the work left several days before.
While Chelsea was still bewildered, Orlando asked disbelievingly from the phone, “Chelsea, is that Edmund by your side? No way! I thought you two would never get along well with each other!”
Orlando’s voice was loud out of shock. Hearing what he said clearly, Edmund was as mad as hell and thought to himself furiously. What the hell did he mean that they would never get along well with each other? He was a good-for-nothing! God knew how he could be successful in the show business if he hadn’t had that pretty face.
However, Edmund was too angry to realize that being an idol, there was only one thing that Orlando needed to do, that is, to stay pretty.
As for Chelsea, what Orlando said snapped her back and she said hastily, “We two are..This is a long story. Anyway, you don’t need to treatto dinner. Maybe we can save that after the audition. I am quite busy now, so bye.” Chelsea hung up before Orlando could answer. She was afraid he would say something that annoyed Edmund.
Putting her phone back, Chelsea talked to Edmund seriously, “Edmund, you know it’s inevitable to deal with different kinds of men because of my job. Don’t tellyou never interact with women in your career.”
She was fed up with his discontent when every tshe worked with men.
But Edmund retorted confidently, “If you mind, I can stop doing business with every woman client.”
Speechless, Chelsea thought, “Stop doing business with every woman client, seriously? Just in order to retort me?”

“Of course not,” Chelsea answered without any hesitations. Even office workers have to work with the opposite sex, let alone those Like her working in show business. He could say whatever he wanted or met whoever he wanted, but she was not a big shot like him.
Edmund let out a grunt and stared at her in displeasure. Who gave her the courage to treat him like this? But on his second thought, he found out it was he himself that gave her the privilege. He Loved her so much that he was willing to spoil her.
Clenching his teeth, he pointed out, “You set Orlando’s contact nas Haz?” When Orlando called her, he glanced at her phone and saw it was a call from “Haz”. At first, he wondered who was “Haz” and it turned out to be Orlando.
Filled with jealousy, Edmund thought the nicknHaz was too intimate and as if there had been something affectionate in this contact name.
But from the perspective of Chelsea, Haz was just a nto avoid unnecessary troubles. She couldn’t set the contact nas Orlando Curtis because it would get her into trouble if others saw her calling the superstar Orlando. It would be better to give him a nicknsince he was so famous. Besides, it was fine to call your colleague by nickname.
Therefore, Chelsea answered calmly, “Is there anything wrong?”
Chelsea didn’t get the point, so Edmund tried to be straightforward, “I think this nicknis unsuitable.”
“How come? Why I use this nicknis to avoid troubles” For God’s sake, she didn’t think it improper at all.
