The director was speechless for a moment.
Edmund flashed him a cold look and then moved on to the next item on the agenda.
After the meeting, Diane’s agent, Katharine Acosta, stayed.
Katharine said to Edmund, “Mr. Nelson, Miss Stevenson calledand said that she wanted to continue with her work.” After Diane stopped acting, Katharine kept working for the Nelson Group and handled two other talents.

So he replied in an indifferent tone, “Fine. You can make the arrangements for her.”
Katharine continued, “I heard that the female supporting role in The Crown hasn’t been filled yet. | wonder if she can have that part in the play.”
Edmund felt even more disgusted. He said impatiently, “I don’t do casting, Katharine. If Diane is interested in the role, then you two should get in touch with Luka and find out when he’s holding auditions.”
Katharine didn’t know how to respond for a moment. In the past, whenever Edmund invested in a play, he always green-lit whatever role Diane fancied.
But now, he was going to make Diane audition. But he was the main investor. Couldn't he just let Diane have the role without making her jump through hoops?
Obviously, Edmund was distancing himself from Diane. As much as possible, he didn’t want her to act in The Crown. Katharine had no choice but to agree.
“Very well.” She was just passing on a message anyway. As for what Diane wanted to do, it had nothing to do with her. After Katharine left, Edmund turned to Fay and said, “Contact Chelsea and ask her to see Keith withlater.”
Last time, Chelsea said that Keith was the best candidate for the role of the hero, so Edmund invited Keith.
As the scriptwriter, Chelsea should help him persuade Keith to act in the play.

Ten minutes later, Fay trotted over and reported to Edmund, “Mr. Nelson, Miss Williams isn’t feeling well. She has a _ terrible stomachache today and can’t get out of bed. I’m afraid she can’t cwith you to meet with Keith, sir.”
““Stomachache?” Edmund asked with a sneer. Her excuse was miserable, really.
Fay explained on Chelsea’s behalf.
“| don’t think she’s lying. A woman’s period can get really uncomfortable.” Chelsea’s voice sounded very weak on the phone. And Fay was aware that swomen suffered from dysmenorrhea, being a woman herself. Chelsea’s was a stomachache, hers was a headache. Always, when her period came, Fay would have a headache and would be unable to get through without taking painkillers.
A frown formed on Edmund's face. Why hadn't he been aware that Chelsea used to feel uncomfortable during her period? He had never heard of any physical discomfort from Chelsea in the past three years, besides an occasional cold. He realized that he hadn't gotten to know Chelsea properly before. He then said, “Ask Luka to cwith me.”
Fay nodded, thinking of what occurred last night. She added, “During dinner together last night, Chelsea said that Mr. Pierce confessed his love to her.”
Edmund felt he heard wrong.
