Edward burst into laughter to see Rain bolt from his office. 'Was that necessary? All he need to do is call a press conference, and ask representatives of the entertainment company to make a statement. All I asked was to find out the facts, but he just bolted like that.'
Edward noticed the file on the table again. His brows knitted more tightly. Rain had left it there.
"Anna, can you come in, please." Edward had to ask the secretary to handle it.
"Yes, Mr. Edward." Anna knocked on the door before coming in and waited for his instructions respectfully.
"Take this to Mr. Rain and tell him to work on it as soon as possible." Edward handed her the file. It had to be done fast because the war game was just a few days away. The commander had mentioned this was Daisy's best opportunity, so she couldn't afford to miss it. He didn't know that she had lost many such opportunities before, but now that he knew, he wouldn't let it happen again.
"Mr. Edward. The CEO of Ouyang Foreign Trade called to invite you to dinner. What should I convey in reply?" Anna thought, 'Mary and Mrs. Mu are sisters, which means the CEO of Ouyang Foreign Trade is Mr. Edward's father-in-law. This implies that he is supposed to go.'
"No, I won't go. Take a rain check. I'm busy today." Edward turned down the invitation decisively, which was unexpected for Anna. She was curious why he had decided so. "OK, Mr. Edward. Consider it done. Is there anything else that you'd like me to do?" She didn't pry into it and chose to mind her own business.
"Well, that'll be all." Edward waved his hand, gesturing that she could leave.
Anna nodded and left.
Edward was busy writing. He already had some ideas about the phone call last night. The one thing that concerned him most was what would happen when Daisy found out about it. Would she let him give an explanation as she had promised him instead of running away without clearing things up? 'Jessica, during the years we spent together, how could I not perceive that you are extremely adept at scheming? Wait and watch. I'll make you give up. That's what happens when you mess with me.' Edward gave a devilish laugh.
Daisy had been too busy to think about Jessica's phone call all morning. She had to plan everything for the war game, including the strategy, the deployment, the equipment, and the emergency measures. Every day she worked passionately to make improvements to the game plan. That's just who she was. "Excuse me, Colonel." A loud voice came from the other side of the door. Daisy stopped her work and said, "Come in, please." She frowned. It couldn't be her accompanying official. He wouldn't be so polite. Then who could it be?
"Colonel, the Chief of Staff wants to see you." It was Kevin's accompanying official.
"Oh, hello Lee. Did he mention what it was about?" Daisy asked. Ordinarily, whenever Kevin needed to talk to her, he came to her office himself. She couldn't help wondering what he was up to this time.
"He didn't say, Colonel." Lee had a totally different personality from Mark. He was dignified while Mark was perky and got along well with Daisy.
"OK. You tell him I'm coming over." Daisy pinched between her eyebrows. She was tired.
"Yes, Colonel!" Lee saluted her and left.
Daisy felt uncomfortable with his formal attitude. Fortunately, Mark wasn't like him. Otherwise, she would have gone insane. Except for his occasional recklessness, she thought Mark had done a good job so far. Daisy raised her wrist to check the time. She was surprised to find it was almost lunchtime. There was a lot of work to do, But she had to go to Kevin's office first. Before she left, she arranged the files on her desk.
She came from an affluent family and was quite refined.
She knocked on Kevin's office door lightly, and heard the sturdy voice from inside.
"Please come in." Hearing the polite knock, Kevin knew it was Daisy. He stopped his work, leaned against the back of the chair and waited for her to come in.
"Mr. Kevin, you wanted to see me?" Daisy had asked even before she walked in. She was anxious to know why she was summoned. "Am I only allowed to call you in when something's up?" Kevin smiled wryly and admiringly looked at her beautiful face.
"Of course not. You're my superior. I have to follow your orders." Daisy sat in front of him and scoffed at him.
"Great! Now I'm under the accusation of power abuse. Any other charges? Bring it on!" He laughed abjectly and passed her the file he had been preparing all morning.
"What's this?" she asked, looking at the big file in her hands.
"I know you haven't set the plan for the war game yet, so I did it for you. I hope it helps." He stood up and poured some water for her. "Mr. Kevin, what's the catch?" Daisy suddenly lowered her voice and doubted.
"What? What catch are you talking about?" Kevin didn't mind her skepticism. If there were a catch, it would be that he wanted to be her only love, which seemed impossible already.
