Chapter 46 Indirect Gift
Chelsea washed up and changed into a pair of shorts and a T-shirt.She decided to go to the supermarket to buy groceries to be used while she locked up herself at home to work on the script for a few days.
But when she grabbed her keys to the apartment and was about to step out, she received a call from Fay.
Fay was Edmund's personal assistant, like Leo.
Both of them were good at their jobs.
And Edmund trusted them with most of the work affairs.
Fay and Leo were twins.It was said that they were from a poor family and they grew up in a remote village on the mountainside.
The Nelson Group'‘s charity foundation funded their education right from elementary school.
They were also sent abroad for further studies.
This good education saw to it that their talents were outstanding amongst their peers.
The twins had been employed in Nelson Group immediately after their graduation.
Fay was a calm and introverted young lady.She spent most of her time working.
Since she started working for Edmund, she had never been found wanting.
Thus, he trusted her with many important tasks.
"Hello, Miss Williams.Are you free to meet today so we can discuss the project? Since I just took over, I have very little knowledge about the project.I'd like you to fill me in.ls that possible?" Fay asked in a professional tone.
"Sure!"Chelsea replied without hesitation.She had taken quite a liking to Fay when she was still Edmund's wife.
They both got along well.
"Okay, that's great.When and where would be convenient for you?"
Fay inquired politely.
Since Chelsea was about to go shopping before the call came in, she told Fay to meet her in twenty minutes at a café located in the same shopping mall she was headed to.
Fay arrived there first and took her seat.
When Chelsea walked into the café a few minutes later, she recognized her at first glance.
As always, Fay was dressed formally.Her dress made her look experienced and professional.
"Long time no see.You are more beautiful than I can remember.It's so good to see you," Chelsea said cheerfully as soon as she sat down.
Fay looked at her without uttering a word for a few seconds.
She sighed and finally commented, "You are more confident than I can remember."
This comment took Chelsea aback.She looked at Fay with a question mark on her face.
Was it so obvious that she had changed? Anyway, this was a pointer to the fact that she used to be miserable while she was married to Edmund who spared no chance to crush her self-esteem in the past.
Shrugging with a proud smile, Chelsea murmured, "Well, I guess I was reborn after breaking free from a toxic oppressor and living life for myself.And I'm happy that I have come this far."
Fay frowned slightly.
Edmund had sternly instructed her to keep in mind everything Chelsea was going to say and report it to him after the meeting.
She was all for obeying instructions, but she didn't know if she could report to him that Chelsea described him as a toxic oppressor.
After exchanging pleasantries, both women cut to the chase.
Chelsea filled her in on everything about the project.
From the get-go, she was able to tell that Fay was fully ready to represent Edmund.She felt relieved to be working with such a serious and unproblematic young woman.She had high hopes that everything would go on smoothly now that Edmund was out of her way.
At the end of their discussion, Fay took out two boxes of ointments from her bag and handed them to Chelsea.
"I heard that you got injured.These ointments can help to heal your wound."
Chelsea's eyes widened as she looked at the boxes.She felt so touched that Fay got her these.
Although she already had more than enough ointments to apply to her wound, she didn't want to make Fay sad.
She took them and said gratefully, "Thank you, Fay."
"Don't mention it, Mrs...No, Miss Williams." Fay stuttered.
Chelsea uttered, "That reminds me.Please don't address me as Miss Williams.Since we are working together, you should call me Chelsea."
She had noticed that Fay was having trouble regarding what to call her.
Fay used to call her Mrs.Nelson in the past.
But now that she was divorced and they were working together, she seemed not to have adapted to how things had changed.She was a little reserved and confused, so Chelsea decided to make it clear to her.
Fay nodded with relief.
"Okay then, Chelsea."
"I have to go now.I look forward to working with you.Bye!" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Chelsea still had to shop for supplies, so she bade her goodbye and left hurriedly.
After watching her leave, Fay took out her phone and sent Edmund a text message.
It read, "Mr.Nelson, she accepted the ointments."
