Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Chapter 5

Chapter: 5 Zuri was a glamorous star, who had made it big in the entertainment industry.

When Chelsea told Zuri that she was getting a divorce, she cried out for joy and hugged her. “Congratulations, you have finally seen the light. You’ll be free from that crazy monster soon. I’m so happy for youl”

Chelsea had expected Zuri to be pleased with her decision, but not this happy. It finally dawned on her that Zuri didn’t like the fact that she had stayed married to Edmund for this long.

“This calls for a celebration!” Zuri went to her cabinet to grab a bottle of wine and two glasses. As she poured Chelsea a glass, she said earnestly, “I wish you had listened to me when | persuaded you to Leave that man. You’d have been able to start a new life long ago.”

Zuri took a sip of the wine and added, “Anyway, it’s all good. Once your divorce is finalized, I'll introduce you to many handsome men in the entertainment circle. You'll find true love soon.”

“Please don't, Zuri. | don’t want to date a star. In fact, | don’t want to have anything to do with men again.“ Chelsea shook her head vigorously.

Aglint of hurt leaped into her eyes once she finished speaking. She looked a little dejected. Edmund had broken her heart, so she wasn’t ready to love again.

Zuri exclaimed in surprise, “Nah! I’m not going to let that happen. You are such a beautiful and talented woman. It would be a pity if you don’t find love in your lifetime.”

Chelsea looked down at the red wine in her glass and muttered, “I’m done with men, Zuri. Dating is not on my agenda now. | want to focus on my career.”

Edmund had made it seem like she couldn't survive without him. Therefore, she wanted to prove him wrong.

Zurits eyes lit up when she heard Chelsea say that she wanted to concentrate on her career. She set down her glass and said, “That reminds me, there is an opening for an all-expense-paid course abroad as a scriptwriter in our company. Since you are so hell-bent on concentrating on your career, you can seize this opportunity. | can tell Luka that I’ve got the perfect candidate for the post.”

Chelsea majored in drama and film at the university. When she got married soon after graduation, Zuri didn’t want Chelsea’s talent to go to waste. This was why she had recommended her to be a part-time scriptwriter in the past.

Edmund didn’t know that Chelsea worked part-time. No one else knew because she wrote under the pen name, Winter. Chelsea couldn’t believe her ears. She sat up and asked, “Really?” “Of course!” Zuri nodded firmly.

“The vacancy has been open for a while now. Luka has always appreciated your talent. Although you are just a part-time scriptwriter for now, he’ll be glad to provide the resources for you to be trained as a full-time scriptwriter. Just give me your approval and I’LL speak to him about it.”

Zuri was signed to Peak Entertainment which was founded by a former award-winning actor, Luka Pierce, and his good friend. After a successful acting career, he started to work backstage with film production a few years ago. The most successful actors, directors, and scriptwriters worked with the company. It had taken the industry by storm. Within a few years, it produced many blockbuster movies and TV plays.

“Okay, I'll give it a try!” Chelsea agreed without hesitation.

Taking a break from the city was a wise thing to do after getting a divorce.

Chelsea knew that the news of the divorce would be the talk of the town. She didn’t want her heartbreak to get worse than this, so she felt that it was best to leave the country.

Two days later, Zuri accompanied Chelsea to Peak Entertainment to sign the employment contract. From there, she went to visit Ethan, the only person who had been kind to her in the family. As a result, she felt that it was pertinent to tell him about her decision

Thirty minutes after a heart-to-heart talk with Ethan in his study, Chelsea was about to leave with teary eyes. But she unexpectedly bumped into Edmund, who had just come back from his business trip.

The grey suit he had on made him look nobler. As a thirty-year-old man he looked mature and sturdy. His aura was dignified and intimidating. However, he still had a way of drawing people to him Like steel to a magnet. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
