Belinda was as quick-witted as ever. Daisy felt speechless. She changed her expression. If she is her father's daughter, she would still be her mom's daughter. What is the difference?
'Emmm... Ok, I accept that you are smart. Now tell me, are you free this weekend?' Belinda and Daisy haven't seen each other for years. Daisy missed her very much.
"Are you planning on standing me up again?' Belinda complained sourly while putting the contract away.
"I want to go shopping with you if you've got time, but I am fine if you don't want to come with me. There are many other things I'd rather do." Daisy knew Belinda couldn't resist the temptation of a shopping spree.
'Daisy! I dare you! You must go shopping with me.' Belinda's booming voice caught Edward and Mary's attention.
No..., Belinda immediately regretted uttering Daisy's name aloud. Although Mary was familiar with Daisy, she wasn't sure whether Daisy's name would ring a bell to Edward. Belinda's shout definitely caught Mary's attention, and the reason behind her hostility became clear.
'Aren't you afraid of being hunted down anymore?' Daisy didn't realize what an unfavorable situation Belinda had put herself into.
'I feel like I am being hunting down now.' Belinda grumbled. Edward, why were you staring at me? Am I doing something illegal?
Edward was staring at Belinda because he heard Belinda call Daisy's name, so he was trying to figure out what was going on.
'What? Someone is hunting you right now? Where are you? I am on my way!' Daisy jumped to her feet, taking Belinda's words seriously. Belinda was the only heir of an affluent family. There were many people out there who wanted her dead.
'Take it easy. It was just a metaphor.' Belinda stopped Daisy right away. She knew that Daisy would immediately come over and rescue her if she was in danger.
'Belinda, you think this is funny?' Daisy was pissed off by Belinda's joke. As a soldier, she knew that in a real fight every second mattered. One second could make a huge difference. Last time when she was on a mission, she won her opponents over a second, had it not been the case, Daisy would be a corpse by now.
'You are overreacting. I didn't mean to worry you. Don't be mad at me.' Belinda acted like a quiet lamb when Daisy was mad. Usually, Daisy was amiable, but when she was pissed off, she became an entirely different person.
'So am I the one who should be blamed?' Daisy deliberately misinterpreted Belinda's words and acted out because she was already displeased with Belinda's attitude earlier.
"Of course, It is all my fault! You never make any mistakes! Even when you commit a mistake, it is because of me." Belinda smiled awkwardly, dodging Edward's inquiring eyes.
