Daisy was deflated! Well! She shouldn't have expected so much from Edward, nor should she have asked the question.
Daisy finally took a look at the dazzling Ferrari. She finally understood. This was the only car that was suitable for her. No wonder Edward was willing to loan her this car.
"Could you please drive me there?" It was better for him to drive the car and drop her off at the base. It would look better that way.
Edward was stunned for second, and then he got it and smiled. So it was hard for Daisy to decide on a car because she cared about how much they cost.
"Why not? Of course! Let me serve you today, my darling!" Edward looked at her with a cheeky grin.
Daisy got into the car, dragged the long skirt, and scolded him in her heart. 'How could this guy be so ostentatious? Everything he has is a luxury. Doesn't he feel embarrassed attracting so much attention every day?'
Edward drove like lightning, so it took them less than an hour to get there. Daisy was busy taking various reports on the phone on the way. Edward did not disturb her and focused on driving.
"Colonel! You're finally here! Please go to the conference room at once. The commander and the others are all waiting for you there." Mark came to meet Daisy as soon as he saw her getting out of the car. Her dress stunned him momentarily.
"Well! Let's go! I'm going to change my clothes first." She walked over to Mark's Humvee. She did not even say goodbye to Edward, as if she had completely forgotten he existed.
Mark took a look at the shiny Ferrari. Edward didn't get out, so Mark couldn't figure out who was in the car. He shook his head in bewilderment and got into the Humvee too.
Edward was very unhappy. She had ignored him, hadn't she? She got out of the car before he could even put it in park, and left without a single word. Edward felt so wronged. He was always popular with women and had never been treated like this.
He pushed those thoughts away. He didn't have time for them. He punched the accelerator, turned sharply, and drove away at full speed.
Daisy didn't realize that she didn't say goodbye to Edward until Mark started the car. She was in such a hurry and she was used to taking Mark's car, so she had forgotten about it. When she turned her head to look for him, only then did she see his car flying away. Her thoughts were totally focused on whether Edward was angry or not.
When Daisy appeared in the conference room wearing a normal uniform, everyone's eyes were fixed on her. She was unused to the attention, and was like a deer in headlights.
"Daisy, Come on in. I'm sorry your vacation was ruined." The commander said in embarrassment.
