Tom had a miserable look on his face. He moved Daisy's hand from the laptop -- a risky move -- but as soon as he touched her, what he had predicted came to pass. Before Tom could figure out what happened, he was slammed hard onto the ground by Daisy, who was sound asleep moments before. He looked amusing and pathetic. Even Edward was dumbstruck by Daisy's sudden move.
"Ah! It's you! Tom, I'm so sorry. It's just instinct. Are you okay?" Daisy pursed her lips, feeling guilty. She hurriedly reached out her hand to lift him up. She looked a little embarrassed.
"Huh! Daisy, are you trying to kill me? Even so, you should tell me beforehand, at least I can be mentally prepared." Tom rubbed his butt with his hand. His backside hurt, but this move was very unsightly, especially for a gentleman like Tom. His actions made Tom seem more like Rain, who was always frivolous.
"Sorry, I might be stressed and nervous recently. So I instinctively fought back at any sign of trouble. Next time if you see me asleep, don't try to touch me. Just try and get me to wake up by calling my name."
Daisy bit her lip and felt apologetic towards Tom, she wondered why he was here at this time. Did something happen to Edward?" Thinking of this possibility, Daisy immediately turned her head to Edward. When her eyes met with his blue eyes which showed a playful smile, she felt relieved. And this charming look made her heart beat slower.
"Daisy, it's all Edward's fault. I was asleep in my office, and was suddenly awakened by the nurse. Edward sent her to fetch me. He might have been bored after he woke up, and thought of waking everyone up to keep him company."
'Huh, this is definitely a trap set up by Edward. He had the nerve to guarantee something he was completely unsure of, ' Tom thought. He tried to fight back. He didn't want to be the only one to take the blame while letting Edward lie on bed leisurely, mocking him.
"What happened? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" It surprised them that Daisy didn't feel angry at all. On the contrary, she talked to Edward with concern in her voice. And the difference between how she treated Edward versus how she treated Tom left the director flabbergasted. He widened his eyes trying to take this dramatic change in. He then realized why Edward would be so confident about his guarantee. It turned out that Edward firmly knew that he would be absolved of any blame. And that was how Tom unknowingly became the scapegoat for him.
