Chapter 160
Luka was right. During the three years when Chelsea was with Edmund, she had been a housewife and had not kept up with the happenings in society.
Then she went abroad to study. Now that she had joined the industry, she was a complete newcomer, and what a newcomer needed was to be skilled in how to get social engagement and how to accumulate connections.
Even though she wasn't good at them, she had to force herself to adapt.
Noticing how nervous she looked, Luka reassured her gently, "Don't be nervous. Just come with me. You need to know people in the circle first."
"Okay." Chelsea nodded as she silently swore to herself that she would try not to embarrass Luka.
Luka couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Chelsea had been married to Nelson for three years. If Edmund had attended social events with her, she wouldn't have been so nervous and awkward.
Luka left after the dinner. After Chelsea had sent him on his way, she cleaned up and continued to work on the script.
Edmund, who had just left angrily, made a phone call to Yusuf, asking that they go somewhere for a bite.
Yusuf happened to be having dinner with Chris, so the three of them met at a restaurant run by Yusuf.
When ordering, Edmund's mind replayed the scene of Luka coming out of the kitchen wearing
Chelsea's apron. This thought soured his mood and he pushed the menu aside.
Yusuf remarked casually, "I think you have been emotionally unstable recently. Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"
Edmund rolled his eyes at him. Yusuf shouldn't speak if all he said was going to be annoying.
Ignoring his bad mood, Yusuf and Chris began to place their order enthusiastically.
Edmund lit a cigarette and resentfully asked, "What goes through the minds of men who cook?"
Without even raising his eyes, Yusuf replied, "Some people like me are picky about their food, and they don't like what others cook, so they choose to cook by themselves."
Chris smiled and said, "Some people like me regard cooking as a pleasure or a way to unwind."
Edmund gave them a cold look. They echoed each other, exposing Edmund's incompetence in cooking.
"Why do you ask this question all of a sudden?" Chris asked.
Edmund then told them that he had run into Luka cooking at Chelsea's apartment tonight. Yusuf burst into laughter on hearing this.
Chris held back his laughter and asked, "You just slammed the door and left? Isn't that impolite?"
Edmund snorted. He was so angry at that time that he didn't care about being polite.
When Yusuf finally stopped laughing, he asked, "Then why don't you like to cook? If you can't cook, you will lose to Luka."
Edmund exhaled a smoke ring and said, disgust clear in his voice, "My time is precious. I'd rather spend my spare time working. Besides, the smell of oil and smoke on my body makes me uncomfortable."
Edmund was an obsessive germaphobe and a workaholic and believed the kitchen to be no place for him.
Since he was a child, Alena had been in full charge of his daily life at home. When he studied abroad, he had a specialized chef and housemaid who cooked his meals.
Then he married Chelsea, and she dealt with those trifles.
He didn't even know the position of things in the house.
As a result, his life had been a mess when he had just divorced Chelsea.
