"Who said that you don't need to go there on business if the company is functioning normally? I heard that the General Manager there is attached to you." Edward smiled wickedly as he thought, 'Ha! Rain, do you still want to fight against me? You are such an amateur.'
"Could you please don't say that? That person is annoying." Rain felt lousy the moment he remembered the General Manager. Though she was very beautiful, she kept pestering him so that he got really annoyed.
"This is you. You just want to have sex with any beautiful woman?" Tom rolled his eyes at him. Now it was only Rain who was an amorous person. The rest of them were all married and only loved their wife, of course except Tom.
"Damn Jerry, when did you see me have sex with any beautiful woman? Are you saying me not picky and choosy at all?" Rain's retort came out automatically. He hadn't flirted with women for a long time. It was so long that he almost forgot how long it was. It seemed that after Annie left, he did not play with any woman. And now that Annie's name crossed his mind, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Haven't you always been like this?" said Edward. He knitted his eyebrow. He might be there but he just couldn't get Daisy off his mind. Did she get so angry that she decided to go back to the army base instead? Was she very sad now? All these questions were just bothering him so much that his usual concern for her was suddenly magnified million times.
That was the thing that happened before. Don't you think you have also been like that before? I can't believe these words came from you. Huh!" Rain squinted with his mouth twitched. Wasn't Edward's action calling the kettle black?
"And as you said it, it happened before. Which means that I haven't had a hobby like yours lately," said Edward. They were at that part of the conversation when his eyes suddenly narrowed. Alas! The people he had been waiting for came. He was just trying his luck back then. After all, these two would not necessarily dine here even they lived here. Surprisingly, his luck was quite good.
"Edward, Shaun comes. But why I feel familiar with that woman with him. Is that woman with him one of those women you used to have in bed? Does she want to revenge now as you abandoned her?" Rain also noticed the restaurant's entrance. He had felt unusually familiar with that woman since he saw her picture in the company, Melissa Xue. However, he couldn't recall who she exactly was no matter how hard he tried.
"Why don't you say she was one of your bedfellows, Rain?" Edward looked away from the couple and sipped his wine as if he had not noticed them.
How could that be? I remember every woman I have dated. That woman? I'm sure that I didn't. Well, not unless she had a plastic surgery." Rain also withdrew from the couple and acted as calm as Edward.
What did you say?" Suddenly, Edward seemed to have caught a sensitive word. He wanted to explore more about it, but the thought just fleeted from his brain.
"Say what? I just said that the woman has nothing to do with me. What else can I say?" Rain looked at Shaun and Melissa with the corner of his eyes. He couldn't really tell why he felt weird with the woman. Moreover, they could not query her information, she was weirder.
"Not this one, the last one." Edward furrowed his eyebrows as he kept digging his mind for an answer.
"Which one? The plastic surgery?" Rain looked at him in a daze. What did he mean? What was with all the mystery? Was he even aware that he sounded a bit nervous with how he talked?
"Yes, that's right. If this woman has changed her face, who do you think she was?" Edward had made a guess inside his head but it was soon overturned. No plastic surgery would come to the point of completely changing a face after all. If so, it would totally be a torture.
Change a face? Are you kidding, Boss? It is not a necessary no. But it all depends on the doctor's medical skills. If that is true, I will have no doubt giving my knee to whoever that doctor is." Tom thought that his skills weren't bad. It was just that he did not study plastic surgery at all. What he studied was how to use medicine to restore people's looks. Plus, it would be really scary to completely change someone's face.
"There is nothing strange in this big world. It is also possible that she did not change her face but just had a large-scale cosmetic surgery. It could be that or else, we would not feel this familiar with her." Edward flicked the desktop and tried to do a mental roll-call of all the women that were similar to Melissa. In the end, he found nothing.
"I suppose so, too." Tom looked at the man and woman and found them actually sitting next to them. Fortunately, the restaurant had set up the tables in a way that could give their customers privacy and avoid them from being disturbed while having meal. Each chair was designed with a high backrest. Thus, no one could know what the other customers were doing unless they really intended to. However, it couldn't filter sounds and one could still hear what the other group said if they said it louder.
"Melissa, come and see what you want to eat." Shaun handed the menu to Melissa. They were sitting close to each other and looked intimate.
