Chapter 87: Honey, What Are You Doing

Today, Edward was delighted because of the wonderful time he had spent with Daisy yesterday night. He couldn't help smiling the whole morning, thinking about last night.

"Aaron, our CEO seems very happy today. Look, he is constantly smiling in the office. Do you have any clue what's making him so happy? Did something special happen yesterday night?" Rain elbowed Aaron who was sitting beside him and whispered to him.

Aaron turned his head and stared at Rain in contempt. 'If you want to know the answer, why don't you ask for yourself? 'How could I know what the CEO did yesterday night? I don't live with him. Besides, I'm not a Peeping Tom who likes to poke his nose into other people's private lives.' Aaron thought.

Aaron's stare embarrassed Rain, and he touched his handsome nose in regret. 'I am being despised by Aaron yet again. But Edward is acting very suspicious. I have never seen him in such a good mood as today, especially during a meeting. He even ignored the blunders made by the planning department! He is always in an aggressive and daunting mood just like a tiger. It's unusual that he is acting as easygoing as a cat today.' Rain thought.

'Mr. Rain, please let us know about your proposal for the C Financial Group." Asked Edward. Edward noticed that Rain was prying into his private affairs during the meeting. He could make out from Rain's dubious expression that he was lost in his thoughts.

Rain felt flustered! He suddenly remembered the saying "what goes around comes around". It applied to him now. And he knew his boss wouldn't let it pass. He realized that he has already earned his punishment for his blabbering.

Rain shot an intrusive look to Edward and reluctantly opened the report in front of him. He began to discuss the plan. He immediately conceded that Edward was still a tiger in the disguise of a cat. He considered himself stupid. He had fooled himself into believing that Edward would not catch his words. Other colleagues in the meeting were wise to keep silent. Only he was dumb enough to bring up this sensitive topic. No wonder that Aaron overlooked him moments ago.

Edward was still smiling coolly, in a playful way. He ignored Rain's worried look and laid back in his chair, smiling cunningly at him.

'Ha! I was trying to help you with your work. You need to plan what has to be done by you in the next stage of this program. You will be too stressed if you are not well prepared. But you seem ungrateful towards my benevolence, and you dared to stare at me.' Edward thought about Rain.

'Huh! Edward, you are extremely good at finding excuses for your lewd behavior. You are a cunning man! But you pretend that you are good to me. Your brazenness is second to none! Too bad your plan was not successful. I can very well handle the report.' thought Rain.

When Rain finished his report, he felt that his throat went dry. He sighed and said in his heart, 'I finally know how it feels to abuse the help! I'm experiencing it, now that Edward is abusing me! It's clear that I was set up by him. Sly Edward!'

If Edward had know what was in Rain's mind now, he would have become angry and defended himself, 'What? How shameless you call yourself cheap labor? Will anyone believe what you said? Who can imagine cheap labors have a monthly salary of 1 million? And which cheap labor could enjoy the abundant year-end share dividend?

' In fact, Edward was doing it on purpose. Since Rain had a big mouth, Edward liked to give him a chance to speak as long as he wanted. It was an effective way to prevent him from gossiping about his private life next time during the meeting.

"Edward, how about asking Miss Daisy out tonight? And we can bring Duke as well. We'll have a lot of fun together." As soon as the meeting was over, Rain approached Edward and leaned towards him. With eager eyes Rain smiled broadly at him, waiting for a reply. He seemed to have forgotten his spite towards Edward during the meeting.

"Tonight? I will call her later to check with her." Edward paused and replied. He picked up the files from the table and gracefully stood up. He thought it was a good idea to introduce Daisy to his friends. She went too quiet when she was alone.

"No, she must come. I have heard that Leena is back. Ask Duke to bring her. I haven't seen her for many years; she must have changed a lot!" Rain suggested. When Edward heard him talking about Leena, he remembered that yesterday Daisy was pissed off because of her. He was worried that he might lose Daisy because of this.

"Okay! Share the address of the place when you've decided where we are going to meet." After he finished his words, he walked out of the meeting room. He thought that this was an excellent opportunity to let Daisy understand how she had wronged him yesterday. So she wouldn't leave him next time without realizing what had transpired.

"Perfect! I will find a place now." Rain was delighted. He had been curious to know more about Daisy. He wondered why such a beautiful and elegant woman was present in that messy place that day. And why she was wearing such flashy clothes and heavy makeup.

Daisy's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the ringtone of her cellphone. She was in the middle of writing a report on the arms dealer. If she discontinued writing it, she would miss the deadline. She was supposed to submit it to the commander in a few days. Although she knew that the commander was very nice to her. But this has also attracted envy from some vicious people. She tried her best to do everything in order and on time so that no one could find fault with her. She didn't want others to get the wrong idea about her. She worried that they'd assume that all her achievements were a result of a personal relationship.

"Hello, this is Daisy." Daisy connected the call without noticing who was calling. She replied while placing the phone between her ear and shoulder. She was still gazing at the screen of the computer, her hands continually tapping the keyboard.

"Honey, what are you doing?" asked Edward. He was standing by the window, overlooking the hustle and bustle on the street. As he in the high-rise building, the cars and people on the road seemed like little dots to him.

"Um! I am writing a report. What's up?" Daisy didn't expect that Edward would call her. She was a little surprised. She paused and lifted her hands from the keyboard to hold the phone.

"Well, Rain suggested that we hang out together tonight, and he wants you to come. What do you say?" asked Edward. He could imagine that she must be feeling confused because he knew that she didn't like the idea of so many people buzzing with excitement.

"How many people are coming?" Daisy frowned and asked. Just as Edward had expected, she was a little annoyed.

"Not too many, just some intimate friends." Edward didn't tell him that Leena would also join in, he feared that she would feel abashed.

"Okay, you decide. I'm fine either way." Since she had decided that she would become a good wife, she thought that it was necessary for her to fit in his life and his social circle.

"Okay... I will pick you up after work. Edward said with a gentle smile. He wondered how she would react when she meet Leena there. It would be interesting to see what would happen tonight.
