It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 155

After what happened earlier, Daisy realized she didn't have much time to review the report. So she took a quick shower and headed to the study. To her surprise, Edward wasn't there. She thought he had work to do. Where was he?

Slightly shaking her head, Daisy thought she shouldn't worry about his whereabouts right now. She had more important tasks at hand. She pulled her desk chair and sat down. She took out the report from her briefcase and started reading.

Her eyes were fixed on the paper. She looked strikingly attractive when she was quiet and focused. There was a mild shade of pink on her face after the shower. She smelled delightful like a gentle night breeze.

A song suddenly broke the silence. Daisy frowned and looked around the room, trying to find the source of the sound. She saw Edward's phone on his desk. Daisy hesitated for a moment. Her gaze shifted between the phone and the report. The phone kept buzzing. Finally, Daisy sighed heavily and stood up.

She reached for the buzzing phone. Just as she saw the name on the screen, her fingers twitched. She almost dropped the phone out of panic.

The call was from Jessica, the woman who had been deemed as Edward's girlfriend by the media for the longest time. Daisy had always envied her for staying by Edward's side. However, she didn't expect to see her name again someday.

Suddenly, her legs became too feeble to stand. She sank into Edward's chair while holding Edward's phone. She hadn't forgotten about Jessica. But Edward and Daisy were having such a good time lately that she chose to neglect the issue on purpose.

What kind of relationship did they share? Lovers? Friends? Or friends with benefits? All options terrified Daisy tremendously. Jessica and Edward had been together for years; they couldn't be just friends. Was there anything else between them? What if they still kept in touch with each other?

The phone went silent after a few seconds. Daisy put it back on the desk and slowly stepped back to her chair. Staring blankly at the report, she realized she couldn't focus on her work anymore. All she could think about was the relationship between Jessica and Edward.

That's when Edward entered the study. His smile vanished instantly. He stared at Daisy, wondering what she was thinking about. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice his arrival. It was quite unusual.

"What are you thinking about? You seem consumed by your thoughts." Wrapping his arms around her waist, Edward pressed his chin against her shoulder and sniffed the faint fragrance coming from her hair.

Startled by his sudden embrace, Daisy paused. She touched his hands on her waist and closed her eyes. After a few silent deep breaths, Daisy turned around and looked into his eyes. Her voice sounded soft but distant.
