"Oh, I see. Aren't you supposed to be at work today?" Daisy squinted at Edward and was dazzled by his bright smile.
"I'm not only your husband, but also the boss. My company won't go out of business if I'm gone for a day." Edward pulled out a chair and sat down, watching her playfully. "Rain is capable. I don't need to worry about it."
And, in the office of FX International, Rain shivered at his desk suddenly, as if he had heard what Edward said.
The word "husband" sent Daisy deep into thought. She frowned slightly but soon felt relieved. Edward was right. He was her husband. Although they had been out of contact for so many years, they were a married couple.
Mrs. Wu served them some small salmon-cakes with ginger-sesame sauce, perfect for such hot days.
"I need to get back to the base to at least pack some necessities." Daisy thought that she should bring some essentials and clothing here since she would be living here. She didn't like the things upstairs at all.
"Okay. I will go with you after lunch." Edward had also thought of it, so he agreed delightedly.
"I can do it myself. I don't have much. Well. I don't intend to move. Don't bother." Daisy didn't want Edward to be on base. Those who took part in the mission last night knew that she had downed the love drugs by mistake. If they saw Edward there, they would gossip.
"What if I insist?" Edward glanced at her unhappily, wondering, 'Does she even like me? I'm not presentable? She actually refused me!'
"Well…" Daisy didn't know what to say. She knew how overbearing Edward was. She frowned. She had no idea what to do.
Suddenly, Edward's phone rang. Daisy felt relieved when he answered. It took the pressure off her and gave her time to think.
"Hello. What's wrong?" Edward stared at Daisy all the time. He sulked as she breathed a sigh of relief. They had agreed to give each other a chance, but it seemed that she made that promise without really meaning it.
"Mr. Edward, the stockholders' meeting is today. We need you here. Aren't you coming in?" Aaron didn't go to the City of Night Romance last night, so he didn't know why Edward wasn't in the office today.
"Okay. I see. I will be right there." Edward almost forgot the meeting. If he wasn't there, those stubborn old men would play new tricks. Wasn't it boring for them to provoke him the same way for so many years?
"I'll arrange a car for you, Daisy. Something came up. Stockholders' meeting. I can't go with you." Edward stood up.
"It's okay. Just go. I can do it myself. Mark will help me." Edward wouldn't go with her. She relaxed somewhat.
"Don't be happy. I will sort you out after I come back." Edward snorted in her ear. What happened before had to be settled as well.
