"That's because you purposely gave way to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have become the best." Daisy sneered with self-mockery. She knew there were a lot of people in the military who felt jealous of her. If she didn't have so many achievements, she would have lost this position a long time ago.
"Don't try to deceive me. I know you like I know myself. Let's go! The meeting is about to start." Kevin said and stood up. He waited while Daisy was gathering the files.
"Okay. Let's go! There will be a lot of arguments during the meeting." Daisy shrugged and smiled. She straightened her clothes and nodded at Kevin, indicating that she was ready.
"Colonel, I'm back!" As soon as they walked to the door, they bumped into Mark. Kevin swiftly pulled Daisy into his arms and protected her from being hurt. If it weren't for Kevin's quick action, her beautiful nose would be broken.
"Mark, what are you doing? You're always in such a rush!" Daisy said with a blushing face. She released herself from Kevin's arms and looked at Mark who made her feel humiliated.
"Colonel, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose." Mark mumbled. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Daisy. Ah! He felt that he was innocent. He didn't expect that they would step out at the same moment. Kevin looked at his empty arms in a state of trance. The moments ago Daisy was in his arms. And the next second, she was gone, leaving a memory of the warmth of her body there.
"Next time, if you forget to knock the door before entering, I will punish you to practice on sandbags. Then you won't forget this ever." Daisy said in a cold voice. It was not a big deal in her office. But Daisy worried that Mark would also behave like this in the leaders' office. So to prevent him from making more significant mistakes, Daisy decided to help him change this bad habit. If he didn't change, he would suffer for his mistakes.
"I know, Colonel. I won't make the same mistake next time." Mark assured and saluted her.
"Don't just say it. Or I will punish you hard by training." Daisy wouldn't be partial to Mark just because he was her accompanying officer. If he made a mistake, she punished him. That was her basic principle.
"Let's go! Or we'll be late." Kevin blinked his eyes at Mark and helped him out. He worried that Daisy would act on her words. He knew she would do it if she got furious.
"Okay. Let's go! Daisy looked at Mark's sad expression and said. She didn't want to rebuke him too brutally. Then she moved forward with Kevin towards the meeting room.
Mark patted his chest and sighed with relief. He had gotten away with it this time. If colonel Daisy had punished him, his hand would be incapable of raising up, let alone knocking the door.
At FX International Group
"Mr. Edward, C Financial Group will arrive at S City tomorrow afternoon. Who would be responsible for their pick up?" Anna looked at the schedule and asked for Edward's opinion.
"They will arrive tomorrow afternoon?" Edward Mu stopped the work in his hands. He thought for a while and asked, "Is Mr. Rain in his office?" Why did they arrive ahead of the schedule? Edward wondered.
"He's not in the office now. He has gone with Aaron to inspect the recently developed housing project. They are expected to come back in the afternoon." Anna wasn't aware of the relationship between C Financial Group and Rain, so she was surprised when Edward asked her about Rain.
"Okay. I know. I will arrange the pick up myself. Anything else?" Edward knocked lightly on the desk and wondered how to mention the early arrival of C Financial Group to Rain. He didn't know whether Rain was ready to meet Annie.
"Nothing else. And yes, Miss Mary came here again." Anna was curious about the connection between Miss Mary and Mrs. Mu. therefore she mentioned this to Edward.
"Oh! She's very persistent." Edward sneered. He was wondering what Mary and her father were up to this time.
"Sir, is there any relationship between Miss Mary and Mrs. Mu? Anna couldn't help blurting out this question. She didn't care about Mary. But she didn't want to offend Mrs. Mu. Anna was quite fond of the aloof beauty.
"Yes. Mrs. Mu is her sister. Edward didn't try to hide it. Anna was the chief secretary of FX International Group. If she didn't know about this relationship, it would be difficult for her to manage things in the future. Edward's words had Anna surprised. The fact that Mary came here with a clear purpose to meet Edward was fine. But if she was Mrs. Mu's sister, it would be quite awkward. Mary liked her sister's husband and brazenly came here to see Edward. It was absurd.
"Are you startled?" Edward looked at her surprised look and asked. He knew what was on her mind. He was also baffled by Mary's behavior.
"Oh, no. I was just a little surprised." Anna quickly came to her senses. She had known about such cases, but it was a little difficult for her to accept when it happened to her.
"Okay. You can get back to your work now." Edward didn't plan to say too much about it. He had noticed Mary's admiration for him. But even if she was not Daisy's sister, he would not consider her. He was very experienced in reading people, and he could see the strong desire of materialistic things in Mary's eyes.
"This is the agenda for you today. I have marked some important things for you." Anna said and kept the schedule in front of him. Then she nodded and walked out. Edward took out his phone and dialed a call.
"Mr. Mu, what's the matter?" Luke's cold voice clearly came from the other end of the line.
"Luke, I want you to look into Mrs. Mu and gather all the information about her past." As nobody answered his questions, he thought he would find the answers himself.
"Mr. Mu, are you going to investigate Mrs. Mu? What if she finds out? She will be displeased." Luke asked doubtfully. He wondered why his boss would suddenly become so interested in Mrs. Mu's past.
I didn't asked you to let her know. You must do it covertly. Edward stared at the phone, speechless. Although he could not see Luke's expression, he wondered why the smart Luke would ask such a silly question.
Okay, I get it Mr. Mu. I will do it right away. Luke said. He shook his head and felt confused. This morning, Mrs. Mu had asked him about his boss. But now his boss asking him to investigate Mrs. Mu. What was happening between them? Luke wondered. As an outsider, he was very perplexed.
