"It is not quick! It was over two o'clock when we got here. And we have been in this hospital for so long. It is not surprising that it already past four." Mark tilted his head, only to find how Daisy seemed to ignore him. It looked like that she was deep in her own world.
So where should we go?" Daisy absentmindedly said. She was not aware that she just threw the same question Mark asked her back to him. She was completely lost.
Mark took a serious look at her and finally got the answer. He already knew what Daisy needed most at times like this. Without further question, he put his foot on the accelerator and sped away.
"Here we are, Colonel." He made a sound to call Daisy, who was still immersed in her own world. He felt that his choice to send her there was wise.
"Well! OK." Opening the car's door was the only thing inside Daisy's mind. However, she couldn't help but ask as soon as she recognized the familiar building before her, "Mark, why did you send me here?"
I sent you to FX International Group because I think that the person you need most right now is Mr. Mu." Mark felt that it was best to bring her there as she was in such a distracted state.
"Even so. It is not good for me to come to his company frequently. I may disturb his work if I come to him at this time. He hasn't finished his work yet." Daisy seldom came to that company as she always felt that it was Edward's workplace. It was not good for her to mingle with his work too much.
"But we are already here. How about you just going up to have a look!" Mark continued to persuade her for he really did not know where he should send her to.
"Ha! Isn't that Daisy?" A man's voice was suddenly heard while they were arguing. They looked towards it and saw Rain standing beside the car while smiling at them.
"Rain? Are you going out?" Daisy opened the door and got out of the car as she spoke.
"No, I've just come back. And Daisy, are you going up to find Edward? Or are you leaving now?" Rain blinked and asked curiously. He walked towards there because he saw her car. He did not expect that she was really inside the car.
"We... In fact, just arrived here," answered Daisy. She wanted to say that all she wanted was to leave. But then she did not want to lie to others.
Then let's go! I'll go up with you." Rain said as he reached out to pull Daisy. It was then when he suddenly recalled his senior's sharp eyes and had to put his hand down.
"OK." Daisy was quite depressed. Rain had noticed her so that she had no choice but to follow him reluctantly although she didn't want to go into the building.
Admiration and respect were on the faces of the employees who saw Daisy. It made her feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, it did not take them long to enter the president's exclusive elevator. A sigh of relief came out from her mouth as soon as the door closed.
"Daisy, I find you are more beautiful in military uniform." Rain pressed for the 88th floor and then looked at her with admiration on his face.
"Is that so? I think your clothes are better." Daisy looked at his fancy clothes appreciatively. Rain's look wasn't really the type to be ignored whenever she saw him.
"Daisy, are you making fun of me to say that?" Rain felt sad as he thought that what Daisy said was not praising him.
"How is that possible? I'm just telling the truth," answered Daisy. She never dared to be too casual to Rain though Edward was always playing and fighting with him. It was really easy to offend people after all if not dealt with properly.
"Since you have said that, even if you are teasing me, I am very happy now." Rain shook his head smugly.
Daisy just smiled and did not talk nonsense with him as they had arrived the top floor. She walked out of the elevator.
"Are you going in with me?" Daisy stopped and asked Rain softly as she stood before the President's office.
"No. I have a lot of things to do and I'm not a 100-watt light bulb. I do not want to interfere between you and Edward. I'll see you later, Daisy." Rain waved his hand to Daisy with a smile then walked to his office.
"OK then. Go to your own business first. See you later." Daisy looked at Rain's back and shook her head. Then she raised her hand and knocked on the door. She did not hear any movement for a long time and couldn't help but frown since that was unusual. Did it mean that there was no one in it? But where on earth did he go if he was not inside his office?
"Hello, Mrs. Mu. Mr. Mu is in a meeting right now. You can just go inside and wait for him," said a secretary who came over to Daisy with a professional smile on her face.
"Oh! Well, thank you." Daisy smiled at her. It seemed that everyone was in a meeting. No wonder that she did not see Anna. She seemed to have gone to the meeting, too.
"You're welcome." The secretary opened the door and stood aside to let Daisy come in.
She walked into the office this time. A slight sigh came out her lips when she saw the empty office. She did not expect that he was not in there.
She walked slowly and stopped before the big glass window. She looked through the glass and felt how the white clouds were close to her. It seemed that Edward really knew how to enjoy life. He installed a big glass window so that he could lean against it and watch the clouds scud across the sky.
Daisy raised her head and looked over the whole office. Eventually, her eyes fell on the soft sofa. She did not have further thinking and stepped towards it. She sat down on it and started leafing through magazines and newspapers on the table idly. None of those reading materials interested her though. Some of the news were about some stars going abroad with rich businessmen while some talked about some rich and famous girls who were pregnant before marriage. The newspapers were all the same thus she fell asleep out of boredom.
Edward strode out of the conference room carrying a large stack of papers as soon as the meeting was over. He headed to his office and Anna followed him.
"Anna, send this document to the client at once," he instructed. He did not even turn around and just accurately threw the document to Anna.
"Yes, Mr. Mu." Anna looked through the papers but did not leave. She followed him to the office. Edward opened the door without a care and was slightly shocked when his eyes landed on the olive green figure on the sofa. He turned around and put his forefinger against his lips to signal Anna to be quiet. He then waved his hand to instruct her to go out.
Anna smiled. She saw what was on the sofa too. She went out of the room and closed the door. 'Why did this little woman come here? Didn't she say she was busy with her work recently? Did she just come here to sleep?' Edward thought.
He stepped towards the sofa and stood before Daisy. His eyes were fixed at her face as if he could get answers by watching her sleep.
Finally, the corners of his mouth curved up a beautiful arc. He went to the office chair and took his coat. Then he came back and covered his coat lightly on her body. He did not dare to touch her as he did not want to wake her up. She was an exceptionally sharp soldier after all. It was only then that he silently walked back to his work table to handle the documents he had taken back from the meeting.
Daisy did not know how long she had slept. She saw that Edward was seriously working on his table the time she opened her eyes. Her eyes were fixed at him as she didn't even blink.
"If you continue to look at me like that, my face will be pierced." Edward lifted his head from the documents and jokingly quipped at her. However, his eyes looked at her tenderly.
Daisy lifted her hands and rubbed her eyes gently. She straightened her military uniform and asked him shyly, "You've finished the meeting?"
Yes. When did you come here? And why didn't you give me a call first?" Edward put the documents down and walked towards her. He gently held her body into his warm arms.
