Chapter 450: Very Insane Person (part one)

"Oh ho! What do I see? I've never imagined I'd see such a tear-shedding scene. What's this? A special show for us?" Quipped Rain, who leaned against the door leisurely. With witty words, he managed to conceal his own feelings, though tears of joy were welling up in his eyes. His heart was beating fast because Edward was awake. It beat erratically in excitement.

Daisy was embarrassed. She quickly moved out of Edward's arms, face flushed crimson. She should've controlled her feelings. How bashful it was to be caught like that.

"It seems you're idle enough to hang out here. I should trust you with more work, Rain, " said Edward with a slight frown. God damn his ungodly friends. Why did all of them have to show up at the most inappropriate times, and interrupt his private moment with Daisy?

Hold your horses, man! Don't you ever enslave me again. Tell you what, this whole day, I've worked like a slave. And I've decided to have some rest as soon as you can come back to work. Please, don't pile any more work on me, or I'll die like a withered flower."

Rain whined dramatically. At the same time, he studied Edward's pale face and emaciated body cautiously. Although he seemed pale and weak, Edward was in good spirits. It seemed that he was out of danger, and would soon recover. And since Edward had woken up, Rain just hoped he'd recover quickly and return to work as soon as possible. During the past few hours, overwhelmed by workloads, Rain was certain that he wasn't cut out to be a CEO. He worked around the clock, although he had only picked the urgent documents to read. How could Edward think about giving him more work? He would certainly not accept it! This guy in front of him was a pervert. He couldn't even imagine how Edward had managed to accomplish such a large amount of work everyday, and leave some free time for himself to go to the club. Fortunately, compared to Edward, there was not much work in Rain's hands. Otherwise, he would throw his responsibilities and brotherhood to the wind.

Don't bargain with me. First thing at first, have you settled the matter I told you to?" Daisy had always been Edward's top priority. Even now he was lying in bed, he couldn't forget about the matters related to her. It could be seen that when an excellent and extraordinary man fell in love with a woman, he would pour himself into her. To the excellent man, love was not just a word, but his full heart.

"Not yet! Don't rush me! Do you really think it's as easy as just saying it? It's not like bringing a supermarket to bankruptcy. I need time to do it. It may appear to you as nothing, but it still is a big company, not a supermarket.

Whoa! Daisy? What happened to your face? Jeez, I can't imagine who would dare to do this to you..." Rain suddenly exclaimed after a glance at Daisy's face. He wondered what had happened when he was away.

Jesus! Not again! Hearing that, Daisy rolled her eyes. It seemed that these people were too idle, and had enough time to care about her face. If everyone of them had to ask about what happened to her face, she was afraid that she might have to post an announcement online to save the trouble. But she was a polite person. Since Rain had asked, she would have to give an answer, however unwilling she might be. Thus, she was determined to answer him, although she had been asked about her face so many times already. Telling a perfunctory explanation or the truth, whatever her method was, an answer was an answer. But what excuses should she make now? Should she use the same explanation she gave to Mark, that she encountered several bandits? But Rain would surely not be so credulous as Mark, at very least, he was a businessman... Daisy racked her brains for an answer. Although it was okay to tell Edward that she was hit by Leo, her father, she didn't feel like telling everyone about the incident. Deep in her heart, she was too proud to do that.

However, Mark didn't have any idea that he was fooled. Standing outside in the corridor, he suddenly shuddered. He didn't know it was because that he was being talked about, but attributed it to the cold weather.

Nothing happened. I was lost in thought, then I bumped into the wall when I should have turned." Finally, Daisy found an excuse, which she believed to be fair and reasonable. After such a long time, the finger marks should be gone, although the bruise remained. She believed that her excuse would be unassailable.

Bro, it's all your fault! See? You're too charming, and you lured Daisy into thinking of you all day long. Or else, she wouldn't have bumped into a wall!" But Rain had known that it was an excuse from the start. He was too smart to be fooled. Unless she was running into a wall at her full speed, her face shouldn't be like this. In the worst case, it would only leave a small bruise. How could her whole cheek possibly be bruised and swollen just because she bumped into a wall? But since she intended to avoid his question, he wouldn't force her to answer. He knew better than push others too hard. And by pretending to be fooled, he could also tease Edward. He always enjoyed bullshitting him.

Well said. I see you're getting a spine now, and have enough guts to fire back at me. What? You truly think I couldn't beat you up just because I'm lying here in bed? Come on, I can still bring it to your sorry ass, "

Said Edward. He knew that Daisy was too proud to tell the truth, and he decided to change the subject completely. If Rain went any further, Daisy would even be too ashamed to show her face.

No, no, no! I didn't mean a word I said. Oh, by the way, how's the recovery? When do you think you can go back to work?" Knowing what Edward truly meant, Rain decided to dump the topic and talk about work.

Work? How can you expect him to go back to work? He needs at least one more months rest! What Rain wasn't expecting was where the answer came from. Daisy, not Edward. That was out of blue. He fell into a daze and stared at Daisy, without saying a word. After a long time, he yelled, appalled.

Daisy! One month is too long! He looks healthy already! I'm sure his strong enough to go back to work within a week. If it take another month, I would go mad. It seemed that Daisy was crueler and more merciless than Edward. If he had to be the acting CEO for another month, he would go insane from the heavy workload. And the girls in the clubs were still waiting for him to return. And what was more, although he was the deputy CEO of FX International Group, his strong suit wasn't operating a company, but talking business with others or contacting clients, etc. Hearing that he had a heavy workload for nearly a month, he almost wanted to run away. And he feared that he would die because of the heavy load. And even worse, he might be half dead.
