"Let's go inside." Daisy darted a look at Mary and brushed past her. She knew Edward was angry. The reason was simple; he didn't want to talk to a petty person. However, he had to compromise on his standards today.
Mary bit her lip and gave Daisy a fierce stare. 'Daisy, all your arrogance will disappear once I get a chance to sleep with Edward. When that happens, you can't be rude to me, can you?'
Edward, you misunderstood me. This time I came here just for my studies. For the sake of the friendship between our families, can you please make an exception?"
With dejected eyes, Mary wore a fascinating and charming look. However, Edward didn't show any sympathy for her. Instead, he felt sick.
Friendship? Ha-ha!" Edward squinted at Mary, "Miss Ouyang, are we on good terms with each other?"
Without question. Isn't your wife a member of the Ouyang family?"
Edward's cold look scared Mary, but to achieve her ultimate goal, she couldn't retreat.
Mary, how does your conscience allow you to say such words? Don't you feel ashamed?" Daisy sneered. When did she become a valued member of the Ouyang family? Why was she unaware of such great news?
"Sis, what are you talking about? You have always been the little princess of our family. Why did you start treating us as outsiders after you got married?" No matter how much Daisy ridiculed Mary, she had to swallow humiliation and put on a smiling face to please Daisy. That was the only way to get what she wanted. At this moment, ridicule and sarcasm meant nothing to her.
"Save your breath. Don't cotton up to me with your sweet-talk. Just tell me what you want. You are the little princess of the Ouyang family, not me. I'm not eligible to have such a privilege."
What do I want? I want to continue to learn management in the FX International Group. Can't you fulfill this small request?" Mary raised her eyebrow and looked at Daisy and Edward with a smile.
Edward laughed sneeringly and refused,
Sorry, I can't. I'm not obligated to do that. If there is nothing else, please leave."
Mary was shameless. Edward had ridiculed her many times, but she still tried to invite humiliation.
"Why?" Mary was disappointed. Edward's decision prompted her resentment. Was he behaving like this because of the bitch Daisy?
The reason is very simple. My wife doesn't want to see you here. I think it would be best if you just give up now." Edward didn't care about any other women but Daisy, so he snubbed Mary.
Mary bit her lip and looked back at the abominable, arrogant bitch, "Daisy, you must be feeling proud. Watching me make a fool of myself must please you very much. Don't pretend to be innocent and noble."
Sure enough, Edward declined Mary's request for Daisy's sake. She didn't understand what this woman had. Edward loved her, and even Brian spoiled her. Edward treated Mary as a passerby on the street and always insulted her.
"Do you think I still care about what others think of me? I think we are done here; you should leave." Daisy's frigid tone had contempt written all over it.
"Humph! I bet you will be abandoned like Jessica." Chin up, Mary turned away proudly, but this didn't mean that she was giving up on Edward. No conclusion could be drawn until the last minute.
'I'll be abandoned like Jessica?' Daisy laughed at this thought. She had experienced something more unbearable than Jessica had, so Mary's threat didn't affect her.
Why are you laughing? I hope you are not taking her words seriously." There was a menace in Edward's eyes. It was a bad sign. If Daisy dared to say 'yes' to him, he would make her suffer.
"Is it necessary? Are you planning to abandon me?" Daisy stopped laughing, raised her eyebrow and responded with a question.
"As you said, is it necessary?" Edward walked up to Daisy and pulled her into his arms.
Then what are you mad at? Go on with your work. I don't want to be your scapegoat again." Daisy turned around and gently pushed herself out of Edward's arms. She elegantly sat on the couch.
Edward shook his head and grinned. This was what made Daisy special. Other women would take this opportunity to seduce him, but Daisy had her own unique style and sophistication. She didn't make a fuss over Mary's provocation. This was very similar to her impressive style when she wore her military uniform.
Edward reluctantly sat back in his chair. He heard a knock at the door before he could pick up the documents on his desk. Anna came in with a large stack of papers in her hands.
Mr. Mu, you need to review these documents today." Anna carefully placed the documents on his desk. She was shocked to see Daisy in the office. With a bright smile, she quickly gave a friendly nod to Daisy and turned around to wait for Edward's answer. She secretly abused the people outside because they didn't tell her Daisy was here. She shouldn't have come in so recklessly. What if Edward and Daisy were in the middle of something?
"All of them? How come there are so many documents?" With knitted brows, Edward looked at the large stack of documents in front of him.
"Some of them were to be reviewed by Mr. Xia originally. He said he wanted to concentrate on the Lin Group's case, so he asked me to bring his work here." Anna was in Rain's office; that's why she didn't know Daisy had come here.
"What? How dare he ask me to do his work?" Edward gnashed his teeth with hatred.
"Mr. Mu, Mr. Xia asked me to tell you something." Anna hesitated. This was the first time she saw Edward being so angry at Rain.
"Tell me." Edward wondered what excuse Rain had invented to trick him into doing his work.
Mr. Xia said, if too many things bother him, he may mess up the Lin Group's case. If you still have an objection, you can return the documents to him." Edward sulked, and Anna's voice faded. She knew what she said would irritate Edward, but she had to obey Rain.
Oh? Send the documents to his office right now. Tell him if he messes up the Lin Group's case, I will transfer him to Thailand and do more."
Edward thought, 'How dare Rain do this to me? Does he think I can't punish him?'
"But…" Anna took a deep breath, preparing herself for Edward's howling at what she was about to say, "Mr. Xia has left. He said he's going to make intimate contacts with the customers by playing golf with them."
"What? Playing golf?" Edward closed his raging eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he had already calmed himself down and thought, 'Rain is showing off. Fine, he can enjoy himself now. I'll make him suffer after the success of the Lin Group's case.'
"Yes. Mr. Mu, any other instructions?" Anna carefully observed Edward's reaction. She had an urge to leave the office before Edward was ablaze with anger, so she forgot that she hadn't given the schedule in her hand to Edward.
"Is there anything important besides this?" Since Rain had already left, it was useless to be angry, so Edward decided to put aside his anger and seek revenge some other day.
Well, there's a charity event tonight. Will you attend it or appoint someone else to go?" Luckily, Anna didn't forget such an important thing.
"An event? Let me think about it. I will let you know later." Edward looked at the pile of documents and sighed. He would be exhausted after finishing these documents and wouldn't have the energy to attend the event. However, he wanted to take Daisy to the event.
OK. I'll leave then." Seeing that Edward had calmed himself down, Anna breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around, nodded to Daisy once again and left gracefully.
Edward was staring at the documents. He was lost in his thoughts. Daisy looked at him with a smile.
Can you finish them just by staring?"
Honey, we'd better leave. I will be exhausted after finishing them." Edward gazed at the documents with anger.
"If you don't want the FX International Group to go bankrupt, you have to finish them, come what may." Daisy stood up from the couch. She went to flip through the documents, pulled out one and placed it in front of Edward.
"Start working. I'll help you." Daisy looped around the desk and walked up to Edward. Putting her hands on Edward's shoulders, she began to massage him gently. Truth be told, even Daisy had gasped when she heard Anna saying that all these documents had to be reviewed today.
Perhaps most people just saw Edward's success, but they didn't know how much effort he had to put in to achieve what he had today. The world was fair to everyone - no pains, no gains. If Daisy were overwhelmed by the pain imposed by others and didn't work hard, she wouldn't have the success and status she had today.
Thank you. Have a seat, or you'll be tired as well. Don't tell me that you are a strong woman. In my eyes, you are just my wife, not a colonel."
Edward put his hands on Daisy's. He wanted her to sit in his sight without doing anything for him.
Okay. Come on! Daisy kissed Edward on the top of his head and didn't retort. After taking off the military uniform, she was just a woman who wanted to be loved. So, she was obedient and didn't argue with him this time. She walked back to the couch and sat down, flipping through the magazine placed on it.
