Edward cast a sidelong glance at Daisy's smiling face. He didn't take her caustic remarks to heart. All he wanted was to see her happy face. Anyway, her caustic remarks wouldn't do any wrong to him, right? Therefore, he didn't care about Daisy's taunts. Instead, he let out a doting smile.
"Let's go. Take a shower in the hotel to relieve the fatigue of the journey." Edward closed the car door and walked up to Daisy, leading her to the hotel with his arm around her slender waist.
"Sorry. I don't know when I fell asleep. You must be really tired after driving for so long." Daisy looked up at Edward. The expression in her eyes showed her affectionate tenderness and apology.
"No, I am not tired. I'm just worried that you may be tired." Edward answered her with a comforting smile. In fact, this was the first time that he had driven for such long hours. If he went on a long journey in the past, Luke would drive for him, or he would travel via his private plane. However, he decided to go on this trip hastily, and since the destination was not far away, he drove himself.
"Mr. Mu, welcome to Jasmine Fragrance Hotel." The hotel manager came up to greet Edward and Daisy just when they stepped into the lobby. He was a little bit surprised to see Daisy standing beside Edward. As a matter of fact, Daisy was also stunned. She thought the name of the hotel matched perfectly with the characteristics of this city, and she began to wonder who its owner was and why he gave this name to the hotel. Was it someone like Edward who had a special liking for jasmines?
"Mr. Wu, thank you. We only come here for a vacation and not for an inspection. You don't have to worry about anything." Edward knew the name of every senior executive. It was not only because of his good memory, but because of his respect for his employees.
After hearing what Edward said, Daisy was enlightened and smiled. It turned out that the hotel also belonged to the FX International Group. She was right. The owner of the hotel was really crazy about jasmines, but what interested her more was the story hidden behind it.
"It's our pleasure. You rarely come here. We are greatly honored by your gracious presence. If I am not wrong, this must be your wife, Colonel Ouyang." Mr. Wu asked with hesitation. In the past, their CEO only came here to inspect the work. It was the first time that he had brought a woman here, so he wondered whether this woman in the military uniform was Edward's wife who gave rise to a lot of discussion among the employees recently.
"Hello. I'm Daisy Ouyang." Daisy's answer was concise and polite. It was neither too indifferent nor too intimate. As usual, she looked elegant and heroic.
"Hello, Mrs. Mu. The female staff here admires you so much." Mr. Wu began to get excited as he was right in his guess. Although the staff didn't have a chance to attend the anniversary party of the FX International Group, there were many reports and videos about Mrs. Mu on the company's internal website, so they felt great respect for her.
"Admire me? Why?" Daisy frowned. If she recalled correctly, it was her first visit here. How could the employees here know her?
"Yes. There are a lot of reports about you on the company's internal website, so they all know you." Mr. Wu rubbed his hands together. The FX International Group had its own internal website for employees to conveniently exchange work experience. They had to enter their employee numbers and passwords to log in. Moreover, various firewalls were also designed. In general, it was impossible to decipher the codes. However, that was another pair of shoes for computer masters like Justin.
"So I have been tagged as the wife of the CEO of the FX International Group?" Daisy rolled her eyes at Edward. She was quite surprised that the FX International Group had assets all over the country. It seemed that she would be recognized wherever she went in the future, which was the last thing she wanted. She always led a low-key life, but now she was popular. She was afraid that it might cause her unnecessary trouble.
"Don't look at me. I didn't upload the information. Anna is responsible for this. You can vent your anger on her." Daisy's fierce look scared Edward. He unconsciously stepped back and shifted the blame onto his secretary. It was indeed Anna's work, and he really didn't tell a lie.
"Sorry. Did I say anything wrong?" Mr. Wu was nervous about the tension between Edward and Daisy. If they had a quarrel over what he said, he might even lose his job. Worst still, he wouldn't have his place in the service industry either.
