"God! I'm freezing! Who was the jerk that messed with the air conditioner?" Rain Xia yelled and rushed out of the office. It seemed that he was eager to find out who did this and was going to kill him. Edward stopped and gave Rain a cold eye. Rain was confused and wondered if he had done something that offended him.
Of course! Of course he had offended him! Because that so-called 'jerk' was Edward's son, so how could Edward not be angry?
"Edward, you're here! Wow! And with Justin too! When did Justin come here? Why didn't you come see me?" Rain put on a saccharine smile. Everyone could tell that he was buttering them up.
Justin rolled his eyes, thinking why couldn't this man act like a normal person? Why did he behave so oddly every time Justin showed up?
"Uncle Rain, do you have a problem with daddy? If not, how come you just noticed him? He was there a long time!" What he said would affect both Edward and Rain. How dare Edward hire that woman? How dare Rain call him jerk? Killing two birds with one stone, that was his favorite thing to do.
"Justin, Did I offend you today? Don't start with me again!" Rain was pissed off. He couldn't figure out how he had offended both of them. Could anyone give him a reason? He was always left out. This time he wouldn't stand for it. He would know what was going on.
"You didn't offend me. But you offended Mr. Mu." Justin wore a bright smile on his face. His smile was as beautiful as a blooming flower.
Rain scratched his head. Did he really offend him? Why didn't he realize it?
"Edward, I didn't even talk to you today, so how did I offend you? I just..." Rain almost cried! He finally knew what was going on here. Justin was all dressed up. He should have known that only Mr. Mu and his son had the right to adjust the air conditioner however they wanted! No wonder that Mr. Mu stared him with that horrible look. He had called his son a jerk. Wouldn't that mean that Mr. Mu was a jerk too? But why did they turn the temperature down so low?
"We're going to grab a bite to eat. Do you want to go with us?" Edward decided to ignore them. He wasn't stupid, he knew the tricks Justin played. It was difficult to get him involved in anything, unless he was willing to be.
"Great. Since you guys are buying, I'd be stupid not to go." Rain still remembered the expensive bill last night. He'd make that up by eating on their dime.
"Edward, can I go with you?" Mary asked in a whisper. Mary was unwilling to be ignored. She also wondered why there were so many handsome men in the FX International Group! She may have a crush on Edward, but the man next to him was just as hot!
"Since you are willing to go, then let's go!" Being a CEO of a multinational company, Edward knew that sometimes he couldn't do things in an absolute way, leaving no space to compromise, so he always remembered to show some respect to the others.
"Well, Edward, won't you introduce me to this beautiful lady?" Rain really wanted to laugh. The reason why Justin lowered the temperature of the air conditioner was this lady, who was standing right in front of him! Alas! Rain had not noticed her, either! Mary was having a very bad day.
"This is Mary, the daughter of the CEO of Ouyang Foreign Trade." Edward introduced her with a distant voice instead of a warm one. Rain paid little attention to her as well. If Edward didn't care, neither did he.
