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 | 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 | 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, | guess | was reborn after breaking free from a toxic oppressor and living Life for myself. And I’m happy that | 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. “| 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. | look forward to working with you. Bye!” 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.”
Fay gave Edmund a report pertaining to the results of her talk with Chelsea. She informed him that everything went well.
She didn’t tell him that Chelsea said he was the toxic oppressor though. Leo told her that he felt Edmund was still in love with his ex-wife. But she kept it to herself.
Not long after that, Fay was on her way to meet with Chelsea when something happened that made her give credence to Leo’s words.
Edmund walked up to her and said, “Give these ointments to Chelsea. But make sure you do so in your name, not mine.”
Having been quite convinced that he still cared about his ex-wife, Fay couldn’t bring herself to tell him what Chelsea said.
