Belinda examined Daisy closely, smirking. She was hard to read at this moment.
"Is there anything wrong with me? Why are you staring at me?" Daisy said while pulling up the collar of her blouse, trying to hide the love marks that Edward gave her. She wondered what Belinda possibly saw.
"It's too late. You can't hide those, anyway. Uh-huh! So how many times did you do it last night?" Belinda asked in a low voice, suddenly leaning close to Daisy. Her evil smile clearly showed what was on her mind.
She blushed immediately. She was hoping to hide her love bites with a high-collared blouse, but it was to little avail. Belinda noticed them right away.
"Belinda, you're so obscene!" Daisy was speechless. What a dirty mind!
"Huh! Why do you simply criticize me? Your Edward is a brute. Do you know what time it is?" Belinda sipped her coffee. Huh! She remembered Edward had hung up her. She hoped Daisy would call back. She waited a long time for Daisy to give her a ring.
"It's not even 1 pm. Still early." Daisy blurted out the lame remark, but she tried to make light of it with her tone.
"Yes! Of course! Early, if you like exercising late at night!" Belinda sneered at Daisy. She found Daisy much more attractive than before. 'Maybe the magic power of love?' she thought. 'If she could be more enthusiastic she'd be the perfect woman.'
'What's wrong with Belinda? Why is she all of sudden mocking me? Was it something she ate? Why is she so harsh to me today?' Daisy wondered.
"Just go ahead and laugh. You won't be so full of laughter when it's your turn." Daisy squinted at Belinda and took a sip of coffee, rather relaxed.
"Huh! Unlikely!" Belinda said, disapproval coloring her voice. 'I'm totally different from this lovestruck fool. I would never be caught up in an erotic situation. It wouldn't stop me from being me.' Belinda thought.
"What about Mr. Cold?" Daisy raised her eyebrows and smirked. She watched Belinda's face closely to see her reaction.
"Who is Mr. Cold?" Belinda asked in bewilderment. She couldn't think of anyone that appellation referred to.
"You know. Who else would it be? Leena was calling you sis-in-law all day yesterday. Come on..." Daisy sneered. She was annoyed at Belinda, and wanted to make her pay for ribbing her about being late.
