"I know. I don't blame you in any way, Luke. I really appreciate your efforts." Daisy's mouth pursed slightly. She was the type of person who could admit to her shortcomings when she realized that she made a mistake. Whether she felt wronged or not, she would always do her best to fix it.
"You don't need to thank me. I'm only doing my job," Luke replied, not saying another word. He did his job humbly and meticulously. Knowing that he was asking too much of Daisy, he felt a bit guilty. But it was for the sake of his young master. If Daisy really loved Edward, she would understand what was on his mind and help him out of his troubles.
Luke lived to serve his young master. Naturally, their fates were closely intertwined. Although most people barely knew his important identity, the only thing that mattered to Luke was his young master's safety and welfare. The rest were none of his concern.
Edward sipped his Hennessy with leisure. He didn't feel tipsy at all. On the contrary, he remained sober. When several girls pushed the door open and walked inside, he raised his eyebrows and didn't react to their sudden appearance.
"Who told you to come in?" Edward asked coolly. He continued to fill his glass with wine. These voluptuous women were the best bar girls of Sexy World. In the past, he had frequently availed of their services. Whenever he did, these girls got paid better for serving and pleasing him. So it was always a pleasure for them to serve Edward. He was the perfect combination of a handsome, good-tempered, and generous man.
"Mr. Mu, you haven't come over to have fun with us for a long long time. We miss you! Let us stay with you tonight. You must be lonely." The best bar girls in Sexy World were extremely beautiful and clever. They knew how to coax and please their clients. Despite Edward's indifference, they sat beside him.
"If you want to drink with me, keep your distance and don't touch me. Otherwise, get out of my sight before I get angry." Edward gave them an intimidating and cold look, frightening the girls into moving away from him despite their wishes. But one of the girls had the nerve to ignore Edward's warning, and pressed her body even closer to him.
"Mr. Mu, why are you so angry? You never treated us this way in the past. You're scaring us," she said in an affected manner. She wore a low-cut dress that revealed her breasts. The fragrance from her cherry mouth was tantalizing. She reached out her white and smooth arm to run her hand down his chest towards his groin.
"What's wrong with you? Are you that stupid to misunderstand what I'm saying? Or are you just deaf? I told you not to touch me!" Edward didn't bother himself by removing her hand. He just glowered at her menacingly. Reluctant as she was, she didn't dare defy Edward again. Withdrawing her hand, she moved away from him with an embarrassed and frightened look on her face.
"Girls, If Mr. Mu wants to do nothing but drink wine today, let's not spoil his fun. Let's just relax and accompany him for drinks and do nothing else," a voice rang from the group. A girl noticed the grim and disapproving tone in Edward's voice. She pouted and winked at other girls. As long as Edward didn't throw them out of the room, they would be generously tipped. After all, Edward was never stingy with his money.
"Mr. Mu, I'd like to propose a toast to your health and good fortune." Edward was no better than other men. No matter how good their self-restraint was, they would lose control and become shameless when they got drunk. The bar girls were determined to get Edward drunk. He was very good-looking. Even if they couldn't have sex with him, getting to kiss his face wouldn't be bad.
"Mr. Mu, why don't you have a drink with me?" asked another girl. She had a sweet and coquettish voice, which would kindle a man's sexual passion immediately.
"How did you outdrink me last time? Mr. Mu, I will definitely beat you this time." Three persons were enough to stage a drama. The appearance of the bar girls made the VIP room noisy in a matter of seconds. Edward frowned. He had gone here to contemplate on his own, but these intrusive women were ruining his quiet. Seeing red, he was about to erupt in anger when all of a sudden, the door was pushed open. Before Edward could lose his temper, a familiar figure appeared in his line of sight. He made a snap decision and pulled a girl towards him, pretending to kiss her face.
Daisy never thought that she would see her husband entangled like this with a strange girl. The sight of him pressed up against that disgustingly voluptuous and sexual woman made her clench her fists and grit her teeth in rage. She stared at Edward coldly, her mouth downturning in displeasure. She didn't react, staring steadily at the scene before her.
"All of you get out of here right now!" Luke shouted. The sight of Edward getting drunk, kissing, and fondling a bar girl came as a shock to Luke. When he saw Daisy's face go pale, he got furious and yelled at the girls to leave.
Luke's thundering voice made a chill run down their spines. When he shot a frightening look at them, the girls immediately stood up and filed out of the room in haste.
"Mr. Mu..." whispered the girl in Edward's embrace. She turned her gaze from Edward to the woman standing at the door, who was glaring at her in fury. The appearance of the two newcomers in the room made her look at Edward in uncertainty and worry.
Leave," Edward said. He let her go and went back to his seat to resume drinking wine, as if he hadn't seen his wife seething in rage nearby.
Luke sighed helplessly before exiting the room quietly. If Edward loved Daisy, why was he doing this to her? For some reason, he pretended to be fooling around with the girl when he caught sight of his wife and Luke coming inside the VIP room. Although Daisy didn't know that Edward had kept his distance from the girls until they suddenly entered the room, Luke clearly saw what happened.
Daisy took a deep breath, recovering her usual composure to sit down beside Edward. Before he could say anything, Daisy extended her arm and filled the glass for him. She had a blank look on her face, as if the previous scene didn't affect her in any way.
"Why are you here?" Edward lowered his head and evaded Daisy's gaze. Instead, he stared at his hands which were trembling from the anxiety.
"I came to pour wine for you. It might be troublesome to ask other girls to serve you," Daisy said pleasantly. She never thought that she could act cool and unaffected after catching her husband fondling and kissing another woman.
"You're fine with this?" Edward demanded. Finally raising his head, he looked her in the eye and smiled wryly.
"How did you expect me to react? Did you expect me to go into hysterics, fighting those whores like a lunatic?
Or were you expecting me to shout at you angrily?" There was no way that Daisy would go crazy and make a scene in public. She would lose face and feel disgraced if she had done that. It simply wasn't her character.
Should I be grateful that you're so considerate? Perhaps I should thank you for not embarrassing me too much," Edward said sarcastically. His breath smelled strongly of alcohol and his face was flushed red. A wry and scornful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Are you saying that you'd rather I had made a scene right here?" Daisy frowned at her husband disapprovingly. She could deal with a man who was being difficult on purpose, but not a drunkard who was picking a fight.
"No, I'm not. You're just being sentimental and paranoid," Edward replied with a smile. Edward took his glass and shook it gently before drinking the wine in one gulp. Daisy did nothing to stop him. Instead of getting annoyed, she considerately refilled the glass for him.
"Did you do that on purpose to piss me off?"
The sight of her husband being intimate with another woman angered Daisy to no end. If she hadn't kept her cool, she would have destroyed everything in the room, including her husband and all those whores who had no compunctions about seducing a married man. She had to constantly remind herself that getting angry and emotional could only complicate problems further. Regaining her composure as quickly as she could, she tried to talk some sense into her drunken husband and resolve the problem peacefully.
"Am I that bored?" He sank lazily into the couch. He hadn't expected his wife to come here, so he wasn't doing all that to deliberately piss her off. Although he had to admit, the moment he saw her at the door, he impulsively thought of provoking Daisy. But it wasn't his original intention. All in all, Daisy's appearance was a complete surprise.
