"Luke, don't you think it strange for you to keep addressing me as Mr. Mu?" asked Edward. After so many years, he once again had heard Luke call his parents Mom and Dad the night before. In the past few years, Edward had told him many times not to call him Mr. Mu, but he got disappointed every time. Thus he knew how stubborn Luke was. Edward thought his father must have intimated him to call him Dad. But he was curious what he had said to Luke. He would like to try it too. Having heard Luke calling him Mr. Mu so many times, he was on the edge of cursing.
"No, I don't. I'm used to it. Hard to change." Luke knew what Edward wanted. But it was a different case from the master and the lady. He had called the master and the lady Dad and Mom when he was little. As he grew up, he had found it inappropriate to address them like that, so he had stopped calling them that. Since they had seldom contacted each other, it was easy to change it back. However, for so many years, he had spent almost every day with Edward. It was too difficult for him to change.
"Okay, suit yourself. It's just a form of addressing. Doesn't matter to me. But remember, no matter how you address me, you're a member of the family. That will never change." Edward had always treated Luke as a brother. But Luke thought they belonged to different social classes.
"I see. I'm going to look into the matter. Mr. Mu, to get the result sooner, maybe you can use the master's help, " Luke said hesitantly, unsure whether Edward would ask for his Dad's help. Luke also knew about Jonathan Mu's the other identity, but like Edward, he had chosen not to look into it either.
"Forget it. I won't ask him for help. He would have chopped you into pieces if he heard you call him master." Although Edward hadn't spent much time with his Dad, he knew well that his Dad hated others to disobey him, which was what Luke was doing. ...
Luke's mouth twitched violently. It was a mere slip. And the master wasn't even there. Luke didn't believe Edward would sell him out.
Mr. Mu, I'll leave you alone." Knowing Edward was just jesting, Luke calmed down quickly. "Okay, you may go." Edward laughed. He had thought Luke was fearless. It turned out Jonathan Mu was the one he feared. He thought it fun to tease Luke.
'Hah! Poor Luke! I wonder how angry he'd look if he knew I was using him to amuse myself? I'm sick of seeing his icy face every day. It will be good to see a new expression on his face." Edward kept thinking about Leena's marriage, so his mind was not on his work that afternoon. He couldn't seem to complete anything. He thought, 'The old man's back. Maybe I should go on a vacation. Take my mind off everything. I wonder if Daisy can get some time off? We've never traveled together. It's my turn to run away from home this time, and the old man's turn to do something for the company, since he has been on vacation for so many years.'
The knock on the door disturbed his thoughts. He knew it was Anna. Rain and Aaron would have barged in. He pretended to be asleep, frowned, and made no noise.
"Mr. Edward, this is the dinner party plan for our company's anniversary ceremony in half a month. If there is anything that needs to be changed, please let me know." Anna carefully put the file in front of him, wondering whether he was relaxing or sleeping.
"OK. I'll have a look at it." Upon hearing anniversary ceremony, Edward opened his eyes. He intended to tell everyone on that day that Daisy was his wife.
"Anna, there should be a model employee award presentation. The award will be given by a special guest, the most beautiful and the youngest colonel of our city." Edward smiled. When people found that the mysterious colonel turned out to be the hostess of FX International Group, it would be sensational and would become a major headline of all the papers. Their circulation numbers and subscriptions would surge.
"Will Mrs. Mu agree to do it?" Daisy had never been in a newspaper. Anna thought she must have been avoiding it so that no one could recognize her. So Anna didn't think Daisy would be OK with Edward's plan.
"Don't worry. I will talk her into it. That'll be all." Edward returned the file to Anna. Daisy liked being quiet. Edward knew she wouldn't agree to it, so he went for an ambush. She might be angry, but she wouldn't embarrass him in public, because she loved him. That was what he could count on.
"Yes, Mr. Edward." Anna would be happy to see Daisy at the ceremony. This would be the first time for his wife to show up at any ceremony since Edward became the CEO. It would be rather a sensation. Anna couldn't wait.
"OK. Thanks." Edward was excited about his plan. Finally, he could tell the world Daisy was bis wife, the woman he loved. As for the officers on the military base, they could see that FX International Group was behind her. She'd have the assessment locked in. He would like to see who dared fail her again.
He asked Rain to handle the sponsorship involving the military base, because he know Daisy didn't liked him interfering with her work. She was too honest and hoped all her honor was gained by hard work only. He understood her, so he wouldn't mention anything about it to her. At the ceremony, he just wanted to let people know we're FX International Group stood.
Each second Edward thought of Daisy was sweet. In the evening, lying on the bed with her lingering scent, he wouldn't fall asleep until he gaze lovingly at the picture on his phone for a long time, which had never happened before. Love made him soft.
