"Honey, I'm hungry. Let's go out to eat something," said Daisy gently in Edward's ear in a sweet and natural voice. Her breath blowing over his skin, his body stiffened for several seconds, and the feeling made him smile.
Daisy knew he had a right to be angry. She had countermanded his orders in front of the employees. So she talked to him in the way he liked, and calmed him down.
Hearing Daisy call him "honey" made him pretty happy. 'Daisy knows this works for me every time. I underestimated her.' he thought.
"OK, honey. Let's go." Edward waved his hand, dismissing the employees.
"Yes, Mr. Edward." Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief. They were now more impressed with Daisy. They would never again mistake her for an ordinary woman. She was the wife of the CEO, and they resolved to remember that.
When they stepped out of MY Mall, the sun was setting and the sky was flame-red. The clamorous city began to quiet down.
Belinda was holding Justin's hand, smiling and looking at him. She liked him very much and wondered when she could have a lovely son like him.
"Justin, what would you like for dinner? Whatever you want. My treat," said Belinda gently, still looking at Justin.
"OK. Really?" Asked Justin excitedly. His eyes sparkled happily.
"Sure. Would I ever lie to you?" replied Belinda warmly and patiently.
Justin glanced at his mother and said, "I'd like to eat at KFC."
"No problem! But... maybe later. I'm not a fan of the food there, though. I ate so much of it abroad that I'm sick of it now."
"Aunt Belinda, could you tell mommy later that you like eating there?" pleaded Justin, and then narrowed his eyes into the sweetest smile he could ever make.
