Skimming around chimney breast

Hi spreads….
Been skimming awhile now but never had to do type of job before. So it’s 2 alcoves next to a chimney breast to be skimmed. But customer don’t want the face of the breast to be skimmed just the returns. So if I put corner beads obviously it will be visible at the front as it won’t be skimmed. Do I just skim the corner? Or should I stop bead it? Really sorry if it sounds stupid

Thought it was a typo and you was skimming a round chimney breast. That would of been interesting. You need to put pictures up.
