Chapter 83 Sudden Change Of Plans
It was already ten minutes past eleven when Chelsea finished dressing up. Ethan's driver was supposed to be here to pick her up at half-past eleven. She was about to sit down to wait for him when she got a call from Fay.
"Hello, Chelsea. You need to attend an urgent meeting now. Mr. Nelson fired Gerry and his cohorts. A change has been made to the production crew. Mr. Pierce is the new director, so the entire crew needs to meet urgently," Fay said without beating about the bush.
"What? Gerry and his men were fired?" Chelsea was stunned to hear this news. Her mind was filled with unanswered questions.
Why did Edmund suddenly fire Gerry? Was it because of what happened? Did he blame Diane?
"Yes, you heard me right." Fay reiterated seriously.
"And Mr. Pierce is the new director?" Chelsea continued to ask as if she hadn't heard correctly.
"Yes, Mr. Nelson just informed me of the latest development. That's why I'm reaching out to everyone concerned about the impromptu meeting."
In the film industry, changing the director for a project was a big deal. It could affect any project positively or negatively, so Chelsea figured that the meeting was imperative.
She quickly inquired, "Where is the meeting going to hold? And when will it start? I'll be right there."
Zuri, who had been listening to her friend's words, sprang up to her feet at this moment. She reckonedContent rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
that Chelsea had completely forgotten that she was going on a date.
"The meeting will hold at Peak Entertainment. And it starts at half-past eleven," Fay responded with a tone of urgency.
"Okay, I'll be there in a jiffy!" Chelsea assured her after taking a look at the clock. As soon as she hung up the phone, Zuri walked to her and bombarded her with questions. "Why did they suddenly call for a meeting? And why did you agree so easily? Have you forgotten that you are going on a date? Why give that up for this impromptu meeting?"
"I have to be there, Zuri. Fay just said that Edmund fired Gerry and his men. Mr. Pierce is the new director, so we have to hold another general meeting. I can't afford to be absent!" Chelsea briefed Zuri about the phone call she just received as she walked into the bedroom to take her laptop.
Zuri exclaimed, "What! Why the sudden change? And why did Mr. Pierce decide to direct the play himself?"
Suspicion and confusion arouse in her mind.
Alone in the living room, she thought out loud, "Edmund still has feelings for Chelsea so he fired Gerry and his men once he found out that they were harassing her.
But why did Mr. Pierce decide to fill in the director position immediately? Oh my! Could it be that he wants to be close to Chelsea and protect her because he also has feelings for her? My friend has two men fighting for her and she doesn't even know. Or am I just thinking nonsense?"
Zuri rubbed her temples. She couldn't get her thoughts straight. It was hard to figure out why Edmund
and Luka were behaving this way.
At this moment, Chelsea rushed out of the bedroom carrying her laptop bag and a handbag. She put on her shoes and glanced at Zuri. "Aren't you going for the meeting too? Let's go together."
Zuri took a look at her phone. Sunny had sent her a message, asking her to rush down to the company for a meeting.
Pouting her lips, Zuri said, "After all the efforts I and the make-up artist put in to make you look breathtaking today, you aren't going for the date. What a waste!"
Zuri had been overjoyed that her friend was now back in the dating world. She had wanted Chelsea to make a good impression on her date today. But the impromptu meeting ruined everything.
It was at this moment that Chelsea realized that she wasn't dressed professionally. She had full makeup on, and her dress was stunning. She tried to change her hairstyle and turned to walk back into the bedroom. "Now that I'm attending a meeting, I shouldn't look like this. I need to take the makeup off and change into something more appropriate."
In a flash, Zuri blocked her way and ordered, "Don't even dare change or take this beautiful makeup off! There's nothing inappropriate about your appearance now. Remember that the stylist put in great effort to make you look extra beautiful. How about you just show off your beauty today? Besides, there's no time. You are already late!"
Zuri grabbed her hand and dragged her out like a little child.
Chelsea was wearing a simple white dress. She looked rather elegant on it.
The dress had a circle of hollowed-out lace design that gripped Chelsea's slender waist. It accentuated her curvy figure. It was as if the dress was custom-made for her.
The stylist had braided her hair, so the braids fell over her collarbone. She had on a piece of silver necklace and matching earrings.
Once they got into the car, Zuri looked at Chelsea's side profile and couldn't help but comment excitedly, "Girl, you are so pretty! I really want to give you a thousand kisses right now!"
Chelsea was speechless.
What a strange idea!
