It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 160

"People say no one offers help without any ulterior motive. That makes your act suspicious." Daisy looked at Kevin with her brows raised. There was a hint of slyness in her bright eyes.

"Really? Am I that transparent?" Kevin smiled and thought, 'Since when did I become a cunning person in her eyes?'

"Aren't you? As the chief of my rival unit, you are bribing me in this way. I wonder whether you are trying to mislead me or test me." Daisy knew he meant well. However, she resisted his goodwill, because she cared about her sense of fulfillment too much.

"Colonel, can't you consider this as a personal favor?" Kevin casually crossed his legs with a mischievous look.

"Huh! A wise chief won't be overly concerned about his rival unit. The concern is merely a bait. You are just feigning concern to realize your scheme." Daisy looked solemn as if she had proven that Kevin had an ulterior motive.

"Bravo, Colonel! Your judgment is splendid." Kevin applauded her. "But as an officer, don't you think it's foolish to miss a chance to penetrate into the rival unit?" He continued with a smile.

"If you keep baiting, I won't be so cautious. But if you act like you are up to something at every step, I am not dumb enough to fall into your trap." Daisy sipped a mouthful of water. They seldom argued with each other.

"Haha, "You're much smarter than I thought. I had planned this for a long time but I still failed to mislead you. It's a huge mistake to underestimate your enemy in strategy." Kevin was resigned to her retort. It seemed she was resolved to refuse his help.

Daisy was relieved to hear his words and she gave a faint smile.

"Thank you for your concern anyway. But I hope I can handle this on my own, no matter what the outcome will be," Daisy said sincerely. She wasn't as aggressive as she had been a minute ago.

"OK. I see. It's lunchtime. Can we have lunch together?" Kevin didn't force his help on her. He knew Daisy was an independent and ambitious woman. He respected her for that and never meddled. This time, he had hoped to do something for her before he went back to the capital city. He had expected that she would turn him down, but he hadn't anticipated it would be so brutal. Just like in relationship, she didn't give him a chance also.

"But I still have a lot of work to do." Daisy frowned with reluctance.

"Let's go. Work is important, but meals are more important." Kevin ignored her hesitation and pushed her toward the door.

"Miss Leena, we have arrived at the army base. Do you want me to call Mrs. Mu for you or would you like to call her yourself?" Luke casually asked Leena, who seemed quite excited.
