Chapter 43 Early Quitter

A call from Luka came through.He asked Chelsea about the outcome of her meeting with Edmund.

"Mr.Pierce, due to some unavoidable reasons, I wasn't able to discuss anything with Mr.Nelson tonight," Chelsea said without mincing words.

"What happened?" Luka asked with concern.

Although Chelsea was obligated to report what happened during the meeting, she couldn't tell Luka what happened in detail.She was ashamed to say that Diane showed up out of nowhere just when Edmund reached out to give her pieces of tissue to wipe off the coffee stain on her clothes.

Such a scenario would make it seem like she was in a love triangle with Edmund and Diane.It would also seem like she was coming between the couple yet again.

After pondering about it for a while, Chelsea finally said, "Oh, it's nothing.I have just been thinking, Mr.Pierce.Considering that I have a past with Mr.Nelson, I shouldn't have gotten involved in the project.Please I would like you to replace me with someone else.I'm more than willing to hand over my work to the replacement once you find one."

Luka hazarded a guess immediately.He asked, "Let me get this straight.Are you saying you want to quit?"

"Sort of." Chelsea readily admitted.She had been willing to work on the project even though Edmund was involved.
