"Mrs. Mu, did you just arrive, or are you about to leave?" Anna asked as she carried a pile of files in her hands. She almost bumped into Daisy, who had come from the direction of Edward's office.
"Yes, I'm leaving. I have some urgent matters to deal with." Daisy helped Anna gather the files to stop them from falling out of Anna's grasp. She forced a gentle smile that disappeared in an instant.
"Okay. Thank you, Mrs. Mu. Goodbye." Anna always felt excited every time she saw Daisy. She wondered why Daisy was leaving in such a hurry.
Daisy waved goodbye and rushed into the elevator. As soon as the door of the elevator closed, her face became pale. She bit her bottom lip hard, her eyes turning red and filling with tears. She closed her eyes in agony. When she opened them again, she resumed her cold demeanor. She was back to the intimidating ice-cold Colonel once again.
Jessica Lin, do you want me to kill you?" Edward growled, shoving her away. He hurriedly took a tissue from his desk and wiped his lips. He reserved his lips for Daisy only to kiss. No woman besides Daisy had tasted his lips. He didn't expect Jessica to take advantage of him by forcing a kiss on him.
"Sorry, Edward. I didn't know what I was doing, it was a spur of the moment! I didn't plan to kiss you, " Jessica said hurriedly as she tried to keep her balance. She looked at Edward with grievance. He was madly wiping his lips like she had caught a contagious disease. She didn't want to irritate him, but she got so emotional that she unconsciously kissed his lips and offended him. Kissing was taboo for Edward. She was very curious who had the privilege to kiss his lips. When she used to have sex with him, no matter how passionate they were, she was never able to kiss his lips. It was forbidden. She was free to kiss anywhere else on his body. But for his lips, she didn't dare intrude into the forbidden zone.
"Get out! Don't ever let me see you again!" Edward howled with fury. He looked fiercely at her, as if he were about to kill her. His thin lips were a little red from the hard rubbing.
Edward, don't be angry. I'll go now. I'll talk about this another day, " Jessica said. When she hurriedly turned around to leave, she bumped into Anna who entered after knocking on the door.
"Miss Jessica, be careful." Anna said with a frown. She thought that Jessica had already left. She didn't expect Jessica to still be in the office. What did Mrs. Mu see just now?
Hmph!" Jessica glared at Anna and stomped away irritably. She pretended to look like she wasn't rushing to leave just now.
"Sir, these are the files for you to check today." Anna placed the documents on the desk. She raised her head and looked at Edward hesitantly.
"Anything else?" Edward calmed himself down. He looked at Anna with a frown.
"Sir, I just saw Mrs. Mu leave in a hurry. I was going to ask for her signature." Anna felt it was necessary to inform him of this matter, so she found an excuse.
"Mrs. Mu? Which Mrs. Mu?" Edward asked doubtfully. He tried to figure out what Anna meant.
"Oh, I mean Daisy. She just left. Didn't you see her?" Anna asked worriedly. As she suspected, Edward was unaware. His bewildered expression made it clear. Didn't Edward just say earlier that Mrs. Mu wouldn't come to the company? She was surprised to see Mrs. Mu come so soon. Speak of the devil, and he will appear. What bad luck!
"What? Mrs. Mu came here? Damn it!" Edward cursed. The scene of Jessica kissing him flashed in his mind. His face turned pale with regret. He took the keys of his car and rushed out. When he walked out of the office, he shot a hard glare at Jessica. Daisy must've seen them in the office and misunderstood.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Daisy waited silently for the door to open. She wished she hadn't come here. Then, she wouldn't have seen Edward and that woman hugging and kissing each other. She felt completely heartbroken.
"Daisy, what a coincidence to meet you here!" Rain exclaimed with a smile. His loud greeting attracted attention from many colleagues nearby.
"Oh! Hello, Rain! Are you off work now?" Daisy asked, pulling down her army cap slightly to cover her pale face.
"Not yet. I just came back from outside. Are you leaving already? Where's Edward? Why isn't he with you?" Rain asked curiously. He didn't notice Daisy's strange behavior. He had gotten used to her indifference.
"Um... I have some urgent things to do, so I left first. See you!" Daisy replied, walking out of the elevator quickly. She then left the building in a rush.
"See you, Daisy!" Rain said with a frown. Daisy left so quickly, that he'd forgotten to shake hands with her. What happened to her? Why was she in a rush to leave? Rain shook his head with a sigh and walked into the elevator.
The elevator stopped at the top floor. When the door opened, Edward hurriedly whirled in and bumped into Rain who was about to exit. He shove Rain away and madly pressed on the button. He even didn't look at Rain whom he had pushed aside.
"Edward, are you mad? Where are you going? Why are you in such a rush? Don't you see that I'm still in the elevator?" Rain grumbled, rubbing his sore shoulder. Edward's actions caught him completely off guard.
"Shut up!" Edward said. He took out his phone to make a call. He grew more restless when he heard the automated voice say, "The number you have dialed is currently switched off."
"Okay. But why did Daisy also leave in such a hurry? Are you two playing some sort of game?" Rain asked with a playful smile. He looked at Edward's sullen face. He always enjoyed challenging Edward, who looked like a furious lion when he got angry.
At Rain's words, Edward turned around and seized Rain's shoulder tightly. "Did you see Daisy? Did you notice anything strange about her?" Rain felt a sharp pain on his already sore shoulder. Now, Edward's grip made it even worse.
"Ugh, are you trying to kill me? I didn't notice anything wrong with Daisy. She looked cool in her uniform!" Rain replied. He gritted his teeth and broke free from Edward's grasp, keeping a safe distance from Edward warily.
"Did she say anything?" Edward asked. He felt at a loss with what to do next. Since he didn't expect Jessica to suddenly kiss him, he was shocked into silence for several seconds before he pushed her away. Daisy must've seen this and misunderstood the situation.
"She said that she had some urgent things to deal with. Did anything happen between you two?" His urge to gossip surfaced. He looked at Edward eagerly. It looked like an interesting story.
Yes! She might haveseen Jessica kissing me! Edward replied. He stared anxiously at the flashing numbers on the elevator panel. Not wanting to hide it fro Rain this time, Edward satisfied his curious nature.
