Justin finally figured out it was not wise to piss off Leena. She had many ways to retaliate. He was relieved that he was not her target.
The shop assistants looked at Edward with trepidation. How could they know that this plainly-dressed woman was the CEO's wife? And they certainly didn't expect that the CEO would pay them a visit. Edward had his designers, so he never went shopping. His daily outfits were bespoke suits, not something you could just buy off the rack.
"You are free to go. Leave us alone." Edward knew that they were shocked by his visit. But he wasn't here for them. He didn't need to be waited on hand and foot.
"Yes, boss." The assistants went back into the shop immediately. Although their CEO was handsome and attractive, he would not hesitate to fire them if they didn't keep their distance.
Daisy looked at Edward in doubt and wondered why he was recognized here.
Edward whispered in Daisy's ear and cleared her doubts.
"Are you saying that this super expensive department store is owned by FX International Group?" Daisy asked in surprise. "You are such a profiteer!" She exclaimed. Daisy still remembered some of the prices. All the clothes were insanely expensive and she could only afford one with her whole month's salary. 'Why couldn't he make the department store affordable for everyone?' Daisy thought.
"If I am a profiteer, you would be the wife of a profiteer." Edward pinched her small nose gently. Did she forget whose wife she was?
"We are not the same. I am a honest soldier who will fight against profiteers like you." Daisy looked at him defiantly. She was a good citizen who obeyed the law, and since when was she on his side?
"Dear, you are being rude to me again." Edward frowned as he realized that Daisy was not afraid of him anymore. She'd changed a lot since she first came back.
"We are in broad daylight. Get a room, OK?" Belinda said in a not very good mood. She was still stunned by Leena's words.
"Miss Belinda, are you satisfied with your shopping experience today? I will pay for all the clothes you like." Edward said. Edward's eyes were still fixed on Daisy.
"Really? What about the clothes that I bought earlier? Do they count?" Belinda smiled charmingly, and was satisfied with the fact that there were many people volunteered to pay for her bills recently. Edward wasn't embarrassed. He did offer, after all.
"Sure that counts. All your bills today will be paid by FX International Group to show how welcome you are here." Edward wasn't concerned about the bill. It was nothing compared to his fortune.
