It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 727

Meanwhile, Daisy was pacing towards the canteen situated in the army base. Her face was covered with sweat and she was a little short of breath. She had just completed an armed cross field race with her soldiers. Together, they covered a solid distance of five kilometers. With her heart still beating fast, Daisy gasped for air as she walked steadily to the canteen.

It was twelve o'clock and it was well past lunch time. Fortunately, the canteen kitchen was still in operation and was able to provide hot meals for the soldiers. The soldiers stopped talking as soon as Daisy stepped into the dining hall. She smiled and said, "Hey guys, don't mind me. I won't bite. Please feel at ease." Daisy looked around the tables, each of the soldiers was still covered in sweat. Nonetheless, nobody bothered to take a shower to freshen up as they were utterly hungry due to the training. Even Daisy herself went here to eat first without wiping away her sweat.

The soldiers went back to eating upon hearing her words. The meals were very delicious that they didn't even find time to talk to one another. However, Daisy could tell that they were not as at ease as before, since she showed up here.

Daisy was not picky at all in terms of her diet. She never demanded special treatment and always dined out in the canteen just like her soldiers. She enjoyed the food as much as they did.

"Colonel, I am here." Mark stood up and waved at her direction. He had already prepared something special for her to enjoy. He had originally planned to bring the food to her office, so it was a bit of a surprise for him to see her in the canteen.

Daisy pursed her lips and walked towards Mark's table. Although she had told the soldiers to feel at ease while she was around, they still behaved properly in her presence. Daisy was their colonel after all and they didn't dare to misbehave in front of their higher official. The soldiers respected their colonel sincerely and intended to act in a proper way whenever she was around.

"Don't mind me. Just eat! We still need to attend to something later on." Daisy pulled a chair over and casually sat down. She acted gracefully in spite of the stares from the soldiers. She was not feeling awkward at all.

"Yes, Colonel." Mark nodded swiftly to what Daisy said. However, he wasn't able to stop his curiosity from asking more about their agenda. "What are we going to do?"

"You are a soldier and it is your obligation to obey direct orders. Stop asking questions and just do what I tell you to do." Daisy cast a cold glance at him and turned to her meal. A spoon after another, she didn't speak anymore.

Mark pressed his lips together firmly. Smart soldier as he was, he knew when to stop and be silent. It was not the right time to keep questioning his higher official. Confronting an angry colonel who had just completed a hard race of five kilometers would definitely be a stupid thing to do.

Daisy's lips curled up gently. A sense of knowing was in her witty eyes. She knew Mark well enough to tell he was not at ease at the moment. He was a man who always wanted to get to the bottom of things. It must have killed him that he was forced to keep silent.

Daisy went back to her apartment to freshen up after the lunch. Then she headed towards her office. To her great surprise though, she came across Louisa Ye on her way. Daisy couldn't care less about Louisa but she simply couldn't ignore her existence, either. She still had the manner to greet her properly as a reputed colonel.

"Good to see you, Miss Ye. Are you here for the Commander? He happens to be out visiting other bases. I think he should be back by this evening." Daisy's face was blank as she spoke to her in a calm voice. She was somewhat indifferent yet polite.

"Who said that I am here for him? I only came here because he is away." Louisa raised her chin up as she glanced at Daisy arrogantly. Her voice was cocky and she looked proud.
