"Mrs. Mu, did you just arrive, or are you about to leave?" Anna asked as she carried a pile of files in her hands. She almost bumped into Daisy, who had come from the direction of Edward's office.
"Yes, I'm leaving. I have some urgent matters to deal with." Daisy helped Anna gather the files to stop them from falling out of Anna's grasp. She forced a gentle smile that disappeared in an instant.
"Okay. Thank you, Mrs. Mu. Goodbye." Anna always felt excited every time she saw Daisy. She wondered why Daisy was leaving in such a hurry.
Daisy waved goodbye and rushed into the elevator. As soon as the door of the elevator closed, her face became pale. She bit her bottom lip hard, her eyes turning red and filling with tears. She closed her eyes in agony. When she opened them again, she resumed her cold demeanor. She was back to the intimidating ice-cold Colonel once again.
"Jessica Lin, do you want me to kill you?" Edward growled, shoving her away. He hurriedly took a tissue from his desk and wiped his lips. He reserved his lips for Daisy only to kiss. No woman besides Daisy had tasted his lips. He didn't expect Jessica to take advantage of him by forcing a kiss on him.
"Sorry, Edward. I didn't know what I was doing, it was a spur of the moment! I didn't plan to kiss you," Jessica said hurriedly as she tried to keep her balance. She looked at Edward with grievance. He was madly wiping his lips like she had caught a contagious disease. She didn't want to irritate him, but she got so emotional that she unconsciously kissed his lips and offended him. Kissing was taboo for Edward. She was very curious who had the privilege to kiss his lips. When she used to have sex with him, no matter how passionate they were, she was never able to kiss his lips. It was forbidden. She was free to kiss anywhere else on his body. But for his lips, she didn't dare intrude into the forbidden zone.
"Get out! Don't ever let me see you again!" Edward howled with fury. He looked fiercely at her, as if he were about to kill her. His thin lips were a little red from the hard rubbing.
"Edward, don't be angry. I'll go now. I'll talk about this another day," Jessica said. When she hurriedly turned around to leave, she bumped into Anna who entered after knocking on the door.
"Miss Jessica, be careful." Anna said with a frown. She thought that Jessica had already left. She didn't expect Jessica to still be in the office. What did Mrs. Mu see just now?
"Hmph!" Jessica glared at Anna and stomped away irritably. She pretended to look like she wasn't rushing to leave just now.
"Sir, these are the files for you to check today." Anna placed the documents on the desk. She raised her head and looked at Edward hesitantly.
"Anything else?" Edward calmed himself down. He looked at Anna with a frown.
"Sir, I just saw Mrs. Mu leave in a hurry. I was going to ask for her signature." Anna felt it was necessary to inform him of this matter, so she found an excuse.
"Mrs. Mu? Which Mrs. Mu?" Edward asked doubtfully. He tried to figure out what Anna meant.
"Oh, I mean Daisy. She just left. Didn't you see her?" Anna asked worriedly. As she suspected, Edward was unaware. His bewildered expression made it clear. Didn't Edward just say earlier that Mrs. Mu wouldn't come to the company? She was surprised to see Mrs. Mu come so soon. Speak of the devil, and he will appear. What bad luck!
