Chapter: 162 That being said, Fay believed that she had done everything she could for her boss.
When Fay was gone, Chelsea stared at the document in her hand for a long time, before she finally made her decision. She took in a deep breath, let it out slowly, and dialled Edmund’s number.
“Mr. Nelson, I’ve seen the document you sent through Fay. Thank you,” Chelsea said in her soft voice. She was sincerely grateful, and she wanted him to know it.
However, it was as if he hadn’t heard her, because Edmund didn’t make any sound.
Chelsea waited for a long tfor him to say something, but when he didn’t, she quickly took her phone away from her right ear and looked at the screen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was surprised to see that the call was still going through. Why then was Edmund not saying anything if he hadn’t hung up?
Getting impatient with whatever ghe was playing, Chelsea was about to say something when Edmund finally said in a clearly dissatisfied voice, “Is that all you can say? Thank you?”
Chelsea paused for a moment, sincerely confused. After a while, Edmund said again, “Chris only did a paternity test for you, but you decided that he deserved to be treated to dinner. | on the other hand, have helped you so much and all | get is a Lame ‘thank you’ through the phone?”
Chelsea’s mouth almost dropped open. She hadn't expected this. But now, she finally understood why he sounded so displeased earlier.
He wanted her to thank him materially.
The only issue was that he couldn’t compare himself to Chris. She had no problem treating Chris to dinner since he was single. Dinner with him wouldn’t cause her any trouble.
Edmund was a whole different story, and he had to know it. If Diane found out that Chelsea had taken her man out for dinner, she would put Chelsea through hell, and she wanted to avoid this at all costs.
So Chelsea thought of another way she could thank him and said, “I get your point. I'll make it up to you.”
She was going to buy him something and send to him to express her gratitude. In this way, she wouldn’t have to meet him. Maybe she could get him a pen. It was formal, respectful and not intimate.
When she said this, Edmund smiled and said in a much lighter tone, “I like the sound of that. That’s more Like it.”
In Edmund's opinion, Chris didn’t really have the right to ask Chelsea to cook for him. Instead, he felt like it was more reasonable for him, Edmund to make that type of request. He definitely didn’t see things from Chelsea’s point of view.
The former couple was oblivious to the fact that they had completely different thoughts from each other.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn one hand, Edmund felt that Chelsea’s so-called arrangement meant that she agreed to treat him to dinner. He even imagined that she would personally cook for him to show her sincerity.
Unbeknown to him, Chelsea actually didn’t have cooking him dinner in mind. She felt that he wanted her to express her gratitude materially.
Now that they supposedly reached an agreement, they stopped talking about it and went on to the main subject matter.
“| heard Luka is going to defend you by putting out an official statement stating the company’s standpoint on the matter,” Edmund suddenly said.
While Chelsea was wondering how he heard about that, he added, “Well, | have a suggestion for you. Don’t leave everything to Luka to handle. You can defend yourself on Twitter.”
Chelsea was skeptical. “| should defend myself on Twitter? Will it work?”
Edmund explained with certainty, “Trust me, it will. There’s only a little that Luka can do to help you. After all, you aren’t the only employee in his company. If he puts out a statement and fights tooth and nail with the public, it may tarnish the image of the company. This would affect the interests of other employees. In the long run, your haters would increase. Do you get me?”
