Finally, he reached out his hand and picked up his cellphone from the table. Looking at Daisy and Justin's broad smile on his mobile phone's screen, his ferocious eyes suddenly softened. He gently swiped the screen and dialed the familiar numbers. Then he put the phone to his ear and listened carefully.
Hello, it's me. Have you finished your business there? When are you coming back?" It took Daisy a long time to finish her shower because of the wound on her hand. She was about to start her work when she suddenly heard the phone ring. She quickly picked it up when she saw the familiar number flash on the screen.
I know it's you. Do you miss me so much that you are so eager to have me back home?" Edward was very slick in front of Daisy. No matter what, he would be happy as long as he took advantage of her. And that got Daisy pretty annoyed. She really wanted to strangle him to death now.
"Yes! I'm thinking of you now, thinking whether your face is thick enough to block the bullet of my gun." In fact, she missed him a lot, but she wouldn't let those words slip from her mouth. Otherwise Edward would feel as if walking on air. He would become too narcissistic to remember who he was.
"If you want, I don't mind taking the bullet for you again." This was how the narcissistic Edward was like. But he actually had the advantage to behave like that. Even if you were pissed off at him, you would rather bury your grievance in your heart than show it off to him. Because there was only one Edward in this world, if you missed him once, there was no second chance.
"Why should I care? It's not me who will take the bullet." She knew Edward was glib-tongued, so she had always told herself to be calm and take it easy with him. Otherwise the one to be pissed off would definitely be her.
"Honey, do you mean what you said? Are you sure this is what's on your mind right now?" Sitting there alone, Edward had already attracted the attention of many women around. And his playful smile wowed all the women there. They all laid bare their lustful desire for him. Women here were eager to pounce on such a sexy nobleman.
Yes, I'm one hundred percent sure. How come you have so much time to chat with me now? Did you finish all your work there?" Daisy carelessly bumped her injured hand, and she gasped with the piercing pain thereby dropping all the documents in her hand.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Edward frowned and asked with concern. He had a sharp sense and could notice even subtle changes in her breath.
"I'm okay, I just dropped my files. Don't try to change the topic. Have you finished your business or not?" Daisy bent down to carefully pick the documents one by one, still clinging on to the question she asked.
"Yes! Almost. Probably I will take the plane back home tomorrow night. Don't worry. I won't be late for the new weapon performance in the army base." By no means would Edward tell her what he was going through right now. Because it would do no good. On the contrary, it would only cause unnecessary trouble to her.
"You should know that I don't care about you attending or missing the performance." Daisy placed the files on the table. She felt helpless about his casual attitude. But she was desperately in love with him. She knew him as the man who appeared perfect in public, but he had numerous shortcomings in her eyes in private. If he was a soldier she was in charge of, she would definitely rub down the edges in his character and get rid of his bad temper.
"I'm joking. How could I not know that your real concern is my safety? Rest assured. I will soon come in front of you with my most handsome face." He never made a promise he had no intention to keep. If he made a promise, he would never eat his words. Just like the pet phrase he always used to say, this was due to his good moral standing.
Don't be garrulous. It's good that you know what I mean. You should get back to your own work now. Take care, and please pay due attention to your safety. I also have to work on a document that will be used tomorrow." Daisy didn't know much about B Country where Edward was currently in. But since he was out, it was always good to be careful. Moreover, he was not any regular guy. His identity was special so it was possible that people would target him.
"Okay, don't stay up late. If you can't finish it tonight, you can do it tomorrow." Edward kissed her through the cellphone and reluctantly hung up. Remembering Edward's arbitrary request of never hanging up the phone first, Daisy patiently waited for him to hang up first. She shook her head helplessly and placed the phone on the desk. After that, she got back to her work. Not sure why, but Daisy felt a little uneasy and couldn't concentrate on her work.
Like Edward said, KG was not that stupid to do anything to them during the broad daylight, so nothing special really happened during the day and they successfully got the rings. But that didn't mean they were totally safe. This was because night was usually the best time for any hideous crimes to transpire.
In the luxurious presidential suite, the sound of keys of the keyboard clicking could be clearly heard.
Edward quickly typed a series of numbers while checking the files in his hand, then he set several firewalls on his computer. Any man who was passionate about his work indeed look very charming. And by that logic too Edward was undoubtedly the most fascinating man in the world now.
