The hearts of everyone sank when they heard Fay's response. They dreaded being at the receiving end of Edmund's anger.

Although Fay really wished she could do something to calm everyone down, she was helpless in this situation.

The recent development also made her sad. She feared that Edmund would become even more ruthless if Chelsea and Luka took their relationship to the next level. Perhaps the employees would not only have to walk on eggshells, but also avoid him as much as possible.

With a depressed heart, Fay urged everyone, "Let's hold out hope that things will change. It's the closing hour, so round up whatever you are doing and go home."

The inquisitive female employee didn't want to let the topic go. "How about you tell us what is making Mr. Nelson so angry? We might just be able to help."

"I hate to say this, but none of us can help him. It's not something we can handle." Fay tried to shut down the topic once again.

The only person that could get Edmund out of this was Chelsea. And she was with another man now.

The female employee tapped her chin for a while and muttered, "Oh, I get it now. Something tells me that Mr. Nelson's grumpiness is due to problems in his love life."

"If that's the case, it's not a big deal. Love might hurt sometimes, but what's the point of wallowing in despair instead taking the bull by the horns? Mr. Nelson needs to pursue the woman he is in love with. Even if he fails to win her heart in the end, he would have no regrets because he tried his best. He needs to chin up!" one of the male employees suddenly uttered, gesticulating with his hands.

The next second, he scratched his head in confusion and added, "Come to think of it. Why is a powerful man like Mr. Nelson having a hard time with love? I'm dead sure thousands of women are dying to be with him. Why is a woman stressing him emotionally?"

The others nodded in agreement. "It's rather odd that Mr. Nelson is distressed about love. How come?"

Fay didn't quite know the exact answer to this question.

Although she knew that he was upset because of Chelsea, she couldn't wrap her head around why it affected him so badly. After all, he always loathed her so much to the extent that he agreed to let her go over a year ago.

The inquisitive female employee was about to say something, but she paused when she saw Edmund at the door.

Her eyes bulged out of the sockets. Her face turned deathly pale. She quickly let go of Fay's hand and bowed her head respectfully. "Mr. Nelson!"

The female employee bit her lower lip in regret. She had just been gossiping about Edmund. She feared that he would punish her for speaking about his love life.

Her heart was in her mouth as she waited for him to roar at all of them. To her surprise, Edmund didn't utter a word. He just glanced at everyone and walked away. The employees let out deep sighs as soon as he left.

Fay was also shaken up by Edmund's sudden appearance and strange silence. She quickly said goodbye to her colleagues and ran after him.

He was waiting for the elevator at this time. Standing next to him, Fay cleared her throat and uttered in a low voice, "Mr. Nelson..."
