"Yes, it's me. I hope I am not interrupting your work!" Daisy was accustomed to the surprised look people gave her when they saw her in uniform. Rain's exaggerated expression was normal for her now.
"Wow! I didn't know that you are a female officer!" said Rain. He momentarily forgot about the disturbance that Annie had caused. He gazed at Daisy with admiration. She looked magnanimous in her uniform, he thought.
When Edward saw Daisy appear in his office, he was very excited. But he stopped smiling and pretended to be busy with his work when he thought of her attitude towards him this afternoon. Still, he carefully listened to what she and Rain were talking about.
"Sorry, I never mentioned my profession to you." Daisy apologized. She noticed that she had made many apologies for her identity recently.
"That's all right. I am curious, can I know your military rank?" When Rain met Daisy and Kevin in the bar last time, they were wearing casual clothes. So no wonder Rain was very surprised when he realized that she was a female officer.
"I am a Colonel." Daisy replied while secretly glancing at Edward, who wore a sullen look. 'Is he still angry with me? I have been in his office for a while now, but he hasn't even looked at me.' Daisy thought.
"Miss Daisy, I heard there is a enigmatic young female officer in S City. Is that you? It is said that she is the only one who graduated from JC Military School overseas and she received many international medals. She was the kind of talent that JC Military School wanted to retain. But for some reason, she gave up the privilege and resolved to come back to S City. She worked hard all the way from a common soldier in S City to her current rank as a colonel. She has never accepted any interviews, so she has remained a legendary persona in many hearts. Are you the female officer admired by countless women in S City?"
As soon as Daisy told him her military rank, Rain became more curious about her. His words also attracted Edward's attention. He raised his head and shifted his eyes from the files to Daisy.
The most enigmatic young female officer? Why did he never hear about it? He had thought that after being with her for the past few months, he knew her well. It appeared that he still didn't know a lot about her.
"Yes! I graduated from JC Military School. But I am not sure if I am the person you mentioned just now." Daisy didn't expect that so many people were curious about her, though she had tried to keep a low profile. It seemed that sometimes, it was difficult to hide.
"Miss Daisy, you are too modest. You don't know how many people admire you. I want to shake hands with you. It's such a rare opportunity." While saying this, Rain quickly walked towards Daisy. At first, he was oblivious to such stories; he thought they were just rumors. But later when he constantly heard the female colleagues talking about the news, he began to take an interest in the female officer's story and kept an eye on the follow-ups. That was why he knew so much about it.
