"Yes, it's me. I hope I am not interrupting your work!" Daisy was accustomed to the surprised look people gave her when they saw her in uniform. Rain's exaggerated expression was normal for her now. "Wow! I didn't know that you are a female officer!" said Rain. He momentarily forgot about the disturbance that Annie had caused. He gazed at Daisy with admiration. She looked magnanimous in her uniform, he thought.
When Edward saw Daisy appear in his office, he was very excited. But he stopped smiling and pretended to be busy with his work when he thought of her attitude towards him this afternoon. Still, he carefully listened to what she and Rain were talking about.
"Sorry, I never mentioned my profession to you." Daisy apologized. She noticed that she had made many apologies for her identity recently.
"That's all right. I am curious, can I know your military rank?" When Rain met Daisy and Kevin in the bar last time, they were wearing casual clothes. So no wonder Rain was very surprised when he realized that she was a female officer.
"I am a Colonel." Daisy replied while secretly glancing at Edward, who wore a sullen look. 'Is he still angry with me? I have been in his office for a while now, but he hasn't even looked at me.' Daisy thought.
"Miss Daisy, I heard there is a enigmatic young female officer in S City. Is that you? It is said that she is the only one who graduated from JC Military School overseas and she received many international medals. She was the kind of talent that JC Military School wanted to retain. But for some reason, she gave up the privilege and resolved to come back to S City. She worked hard all the way from a common soldier in S City to her current rank as a colonel. She has never accepted any interviews, so she has remained a legendary persona in many hearts. Are you the female officer admired by countless women in S City?"
As soon as Daisy told him her military rank, Rain became more curious about her. His words also attracted Edward's attention. He raised his head and shifted his eyes from the files to Daisy.
The most enigmatic young female officer? Why did he never hear about it? He had thought that after being with her for the past few months, he knew her well. It appeared that he still didn't know a lot about her.
"Yes! I graduated from JC Military School. But I am not sure if I am the person you mentioned just now." Daisy didn't expect that so many people were curious about her, though she had tried to keep a low profile. It seemed that sometimes, it was difficult to hide.
"Miss Daisy, you are too modest. You don't know how many people admire you. I want to shake hands with you. It's such a rare opportunity." While saying this, Rain quickly walked towards Daisy. At first, he was oblivious to such stories; he thought they were just rumors. But later when he constantly heard the female colleagues talking about the news, he began to take an interest in the female officer's story and kept an eye on the follow-ups. That was why he knew so much about it.
"Rain, dare you touch her!" Edward looked at Rain and said coldly. Why did he always want to shake hands with Daisy? Edward wondered.
Rain touched his nose and stopped in embarrassment. He regretted that he had forgotten about vicious Edward's presence in the office. He remembered that last time Edward also didn't let him shake hands with Daisy. And this time he also lost the chance because of Edward. Oh, was it such a big deal? He just wanted to shake hands with Daisy. Was it necessary for Edward to be so insecure? Rain thought.
"Edward, it is just a handshake! Would that be okay?" Rain complained with a dejected expression on his face. 'He was so possessive about Daisy, but he still denied that he loves her. Will anyone believe him?' Rain would be the first one to disbelieve him.
Daisy smiled gently. The mean Edward had finally opened his mouth. She had felt that he would continue to ignore her completely. "Rain, aren't you concerned about finding Annie anymore?" Edward didn't answer Rain's question directly. To tease him, Edward chose a matter that Rain was really concerned about. And about Daisy's sneer at him, he had noticed it. But he decided to ignore it.
"You said it yourself she is not a little girl. If she wants to show up, she will. If she doesn't want to show up, it's useless for me to get worried. I am not inclined to ask for troubles." Rain raised his eyebrows and said. He set his heart at rest after Edward analyzed the situation for him. There was no news from Luke; maybe that was the best news.
"If you're fine with it, why don't you go back to work?" Edward stared hard at Rain, indicating him to leave them alone. "Working hours are over now. Are you going to continue toiling me?" Rain knew what Edward said was a cue for him to leave. But he didn't want to follow his instructions. He intentionally became oblivious to Edward's hint, and this made him angry. He still bore the grudge against Edward for not giving him the opportunity to shake hands with Daisy.
"Didn't you have plans to entertain the clients from C Financial Group? Or perhaps you don't want to have any relationship with Annie now?" Edward said with a cunning smile. 'Rain, you're too naive to act against me. We are not on the same level.' Edward thought.
"Aaron is there. Besides, Annie is not with them now. It's meaningless for me to be there." Rain replied. He seemed determined to stay. 'I won't go! I will stay here no matter what you say. I want to piss you off!" Rain thought.
"What if Annie has contacted them? Are you sure you still want to stay here?" Edward said. He was so confident that he could win this time and Rain would back off. "Really?" Rain began to?waver in his decision on Edward's words. But he was not sure whether he could believe what Edward had said. He was a little resistant when he heard that Annie was coming. Rain had forced himself to forget about this matter. Now that he was sure Annie was here, he expected to see her as soon as possible. He was caught in complex emotions. He hesitated about Edward's suggestion. He was really perplexed.
