"What the hell? Luke, sweetie, I know I'm handsome, but you can't just throw yourself at me so eagerly. I'm very reserved," Rain said, touching his high nose which hurt like hell after having been crushed by Luke. Luke was not a small man, and it felt as if his body were made of iron.
"I'm not that horny yet. And don't call me sweetie." Luke moved quickly around Rain with a cool expression and walked in the CEO's office. Rain's affectation was totally ignored.
"Sweetie, what do you mean? Do you despise me? Am I not good enough for you?" Hearing Luke's words, Rain turned around to step into the room. His feelings were hurt. 'Unbelievable!' he thought. 'How could he indicate that an extremely handsome man like me was not good enough?'
"I don't despise you. I just don't like you," Luke answered, looking at Rain without a hint of smile on his face.
"Come on! That's the same thing." Rain rolled his eyes and then realized that it was pointless to talk about like or dislike with Luke, because in Luke's world only Edward mattered, and nobody else concerned him. He would be stupid to continue the topic.
Edward was amused by Rain and Luke's banter. Rain was always talking, yet Luke was not much of a talker. It was funny when they were together.
"Mr. Mu, you've got to watch this video." If Luke disliked someone, he wouldn't even look at him. It was who he was. At this moment, no matter what Rain said, he just ignored him and then calmly put his phone in front of Edward.
"What is it?" Luke sounded serious. Edward looked at him, confused and nervous about what he was to see. Somehow, he sensed it was related to Daisy.
"Play it and you'll know." Luke sighed inwardly. Someone screwed up. He wondered how Edward would deal with this matter.
"Er, maybe I should excuse myself," Rain asked cautiously. He stopped fooling around, sensing it was serious, "No, you don't have to," Luke said simply. He didn't ignore Rain this time. He just didn't like him playing around. When it came to serious business, he could be easygoing.
Edward took a deep breath and pressed the 'play' button. After some rustling noise, a man and a woman were seen standing together. Since the woman was standing with her back against the camera in the dim light, it was uncertain who she was. But Edward had seen the man at the cocktail party the night before, the one who had been at the Commander's side the whole time, hard to ignore.
"Miss Lin, you used me. Colonel Ouyang was the wife of the CEO of FX International Group. Why did you deceive me into reporting Colonel Ouyang by telling me that you are the CEO's wife?" The man sounded furious. His face was full of anger.
"Hank, you knew all along that I was using you. What's more, you wouldn't have cooperated with me if you didn't have a problem with Daisy, right?" Edward was familiar with the woman's voice. His hands coiled into fists in anger. 'Jessica, it's you. I know you aren't as simple as you pretend to be. I'm impressed you found someone in the military to use so quickly.
I thought Daisy was suspended because her superiors thought she had taken a bribe. It turns out it was a conspiracy by these two. Jessica, you think you deserve to be my wife? Don't taint that title!'
"Miss Lin, I wasn't your partner. I was used by you when I was unaware of the truth. I hope you can shut your mouth during the following investigations, or I will be very angry." Hank glared at Jessica with wide eyes, looking grim and vicious.
