Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 855

"Why? Are you going to invite me over for dinner?" Knowing that Leena was well cared for now, Kevin bantered with Daisy with ease.

"I just thought that you wouldn't agree to participate." Daisy defiantly raised her eyebrows. Of course, she knew he was joking with her.

"As long as you buy me a dinner, I'll definitely come. Seriously, What's going on?" Kevin leaned back against his chair, with a playful smile on his face.

"So, here is the deal. My soldiers want to compare notes with your armored battalion." Daisy pursed her mouth. The soldiers were inviting Kevin to pick a fight.

"What? Compare notes with my armored battalion? Do they want a shoot-out or a hand-to-hand combat? I don't have time for the shoot-out. As for the hand-to-hand combat, we could hardly win." Kevin pinched his chin. He knew Daisy's soldiers were good at hand-to-hand combat. If he accepted her request, he knew what the result would be without guessing.

"A hand-to-hand fight, of course. So, what do you say? Fight or no?" Daisy certainly knew that the armored Battalion was not good at hand-to-hand combat, so her soldiers would surely win. However, she wanted to show them how good Kevin was.

"As a soldier, I am not afraid of fighting. I don't care about winning or losing. It's no big deal to me," Kevin agreed to the request without hesitation. He would like to take the opportunity to improve the combat capability of his soldiers. In any case, it was just a drill. Winning or losing didn't really matter.

"Okay. I'll take that as a yes. So, I'll see you at 7 o'clock at the training ground." Daisy smiled slyly and turned away.

Kevin shook his head, thinking, 'It looks like she has changed a lot lately. Why else would the soldiers dare to request her for such an indulgent exercise?' To their disappointment, however, as they were about to start the knock off, the Gods turned against them and it started raining hard. It seemed like the rain would not stop anytime soon, so they decided to postpone the activity.

"Okay! I guess that's it." Daisy sighed, shaking her head in resignation as she watched the downpour from the window.

"All right. It seems like we have to comply to the will of the Gods. We might as well go back together. In the heavy rain we can at least take care of each other." Kevin smiled. Although the process of forcing himself not to love her was painful, he was relieved that he could stand next to Daisy calmly, just like he was right now. It indicated that he had let go of a lot of feelings for her.

"Sure. We seldom get home so early." As they were talking to each other, they opened an umbrella and walked into the heavy rain. Daisy always treated Kevin like a big brother, so even if she knew he loved her, she would never deliberately alienate him. In any case, she believed in Kevin and knew he was capable of letting go.

Daisy's and Kevin's cars left the military base consecutively. There was a splash of water as the cars passed. Fortunately, this was a suburb, so there were no pedestrians. Otherwise, it would have wet their clothes.

In the FX International conference room, Edward sulked and glared at the executives present. They had not told him previously that their businesses was being ground down by an unknown enterprise. If he had not stumbled upon it, he couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would have been.

"What am I employing you for? Why has no one mentioned such an important thing to me?" Edward asked, his smile akin to a spring breeze. The gentler he smiled, the angrier he truly felt.
