On the H City military field base, Daisy took her phone back excitedly. All she wanted to do was to call Edward. She looked forward to hearing his deep voice and telling him how much she missed him.
Daisy pressed the power button and eagerly waited for the screen to light up. Her heart began to race uncontrollably as she thought about seeing the man she loved so much tonight.
But not everything in life goes along well. A call came even before she could dial Edward's number. Daisy looked at the familiar number. She remembered it was Jessica's number. Why was Jessica calling her?
"Hello, This is Daisy speaking. Who's that?" Even though she'd already known who the caller was, Daisy offered her name due to force of habit.
"It seems that you've already forgotten who I am. Come on, Daisy Ouyang. You've been avoiding me these past few days. Why do you pick my call up this time?" Jessica said sharply. She had been trying to reach Daisy for a few days but never succeeded. She didn't expect things to be different today.
"Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about. Tell me who you are or I'm disconnecting this call." Daisy hated rude people the most. She thought that everyone should have the courtesy to introduce themselves during a call. But Jessica didn't do what's expected of her and instead accused Daisy of something she didn't do. No one could remain calm with this treatment.
"Stop playing the fool. You know who I am. Or are you afraid of me?" Jessica talked down to Daisy. She felt superior when it came to Daisy. She was from the well-known Lin clan and Daisy was poor and pedantic. Jessica thought Daisy kept avoiding her because Daisy herself knew that she couldn't take her on.
"Okay, let me get this straight. Miss, you call me first without introducing yourself. Then you accuse me of something I didn't do. Don't you think you're pushing it?" Daisy's forehead knotted in a frown. 'Edward should've been picky about choosing his girlfriend.' Daisy thought to herself. She couldn't believe that he'd been with such an ill-bred woman for so many years.
