Slightly shaking her head, Daisy also turned away. Since Kevin's matter was temporarily solved, Edward once again occupied her mind. He was so wicked and charming at the same time. She wondered if he was feeling good at this moment, and whether he was doing what the doctor had ordered him to do. She also wondered whether he was thinking of her just like she was thinking of him...
"Colonel Ouyang, please wait for a moment." Just as Daisy was about to enter her office, a deep voice sounded behind her. She paused and looked back.
When Daisy recognized Hank's face, she frowned, and coldly questioned. "What do you want? If you want to fight me again, I'll have to decline the honor. I'm very busy today, and I'm not in the mood to do anything, so just go away if you're looking to cause problems."
That said, she glanced at him out of the corners of her eyes. Daisy didn't want to pay attention to him. She had no idea why this man had to keep on getting on her nerves. There were so many people for him to pick on; why did he have to pick on her? Did he think that she was an easy target, just because she was a woman? Or, did he think that as a man, he should've outranked her? But one's rank was related to one's ability. If he didn't like to be a low-ranking official, he should work harder and win a higher rank. But instead of that, every time he bumped into her, he would find some reason to harp on her. When he started doing it, she thought he might want to compete with her, but more often she started to think it was a deliberate act of revenge.
"Why are you so busy, Colonel Ouyang? Oh, according to my new findings, should I salute and call you Mrs. Mu? You always say that you earned your position, which turns out to be a lie. I never thought that the wife of the CEO of FX International Group would keep such a low profile. Are you trying to avoid attention? Or, are you trying to cover up something?"
Said Hank sarcastically. Gazing at Daisy, he raised his eyebrows and sneered aggressively. Every word he had said was so mean, but apparently he didn't think he'd gone too far.
He was a shallow, narrow-minded man. He hated the people who had talent, those who were gifted in their fields. And he vented his anger at every chance. He had never been pleased because Daisy outranked him, and hated her more because of her husband. How could this no good woman be a CEO's wife, and not just an ordinary CEO, but the one of FX International Group. He had never expected that.
"What a beautiful speech, Hank, though I don't understand a word. Would you be so kind to simplify it, and tell me what the hell you want?" Biting her teeth, Daisy sneered. It seemed that even if she was trying to stay away from trouble, trouble would still come to her. There were always people like Hank, who liked to stir up trouble and never give anyone a moment's peace.
"Pfft. I knew you'd play innocent. But let me make this clear. I'm saying your promotion was because of FX International Group. So are you going to lie and tell me you earned your position, instead of by bribery?"
When Hank learned about her true identity, he was shocked. But then, anger started to flow in him, along with hatred. What a calculating and scheming woman she was! She had always behaved like a wronged and deserted woman, but now her performance had turned out to be a disguise. She did it on purpose. If she acted that way, it would cover up the fact that she had acquired her rank and position not because of her own strength, but her marriage. And that was why she dared not let other people know who her husband was, lest they would know the fact. He always thought that he shouldn't fail when he was given a qualification test, and wondered why Daisy had beaten him. Now it turned out that someone was pulling the strings in the dark.
