Chapter 344: Ambiguous Relationship (part two)

"You're late, don't try to hide it. You came after me." Edward raised his eyebrows and looked at Tom with a cunning smile. Tom looked good today. Edward punched his eyes earlier, but now there were no traces of wounds on his face. It seemed his ointment was very effective. It's ability to heal the wounds was surprising.

"It was all your fault. Don't you remember what you did to me yesterday night? And still, you have the nerve to blame me for being late.'' Tom stared at Edward with irritation. If Edward hadn't asked him to watch over Daisy whole night, he wouldn't have had to work on the surgery plans for a critically ill patient this morning. The surgery got delayed for several hours, Edward's call had caused all this delay, and he was late for the party.

"Yesterday night, wow! It appears that something interesting happened yesterday. And you two were together? Your words are ambiguous, and that can trigger a lot of imaginations." Rain gossiped as soon as he sensed Edward and Tom's peculiar behaviors. Apparently, he had forgotten that he was splashed all over by Duke moments ago.

"Yes! Do you want to know what we did yesterday? Are you feeling curious?" Edward sneered slyly and narrowed his eyes to stare at Rain cunningly.

"Err... Well... Not exactly. I'll pass." Rain gave up his prying when he saw Edward's playful smile. He knew that every time Edward gave this expression, someone was bounded to suffer. He wasn't stupid enough to find trouble for himself.

"Edward, tell us. What did you guys do yesterday? Your relationship seems shady!" Rain didn't dare to ruffle Edward's feathers, that didn't mean Leena also felt afraid. Therefore when Rain stopped pestering Edward, Leena began to question curiously. Edward pursed his lips. Damn, why did he forget that the nosy Leena was also here?

"Leena, when did you become so evil? Was it after you were tricked into marrying someone?" Edward looked at Kevin with raised eyebrows. He couldn't get along with a man who also fancied his wife, so he used every opportunity to insult him.

Kevin smiled gloomily, although he had expected that they would treat him poorly, he was surprised that they all went against him. He didn't react to Edward's words. He was very calm and didn't say anything because he knew it needed time to get along with anyone. He wasn't worried about his present situation. He believed that when everyone finally accepted Leena's marriage with him, everything would be better. They mistreated him now because they were still in the shock by their sudden marriage, Kevin thought.

"It's not my fault. You spoke about that ambiguous relationship and triggered our curiosity." Leena pouted and grumbled, still arguing. She looked at Kevin apologetically. It seemed that everyone disliked him here. She wondered whether he was hurt. He was a person of high status. A Major General didn't need to stay here and endure such arrogant remarks.

"Mr. Mu. I really can't handle it anymore. Several dignitaries are insisting on having a drink with you." Before Edward could respond to Leena's words, Aaron came over. His face was red. He seemed to have drunk a lot.

"Rain, please go and have drinks with them. As the vice president of FX International Group, it's time for you to step up. You have hidden behind the shadows long enough." Edward knew that Rain was totally focused on Annie, so he ignored it when he saw Rain sitting alone in the corner enjoying his solitude. But now people were asking to have a drink with Edward, so he cunningly planned to have Rain deal with these people.

"Oh, no! Boss. They are asking for you. Why are you forcing me to entertain them?" Rain wasn't in the mood to socialize; he even gave up the opportunity to flirt with beautiful women tonight. But now, his repose was over because of Edward. It was really annoying. "Because I'm your boss. How dare you question my order!" Edward narrowed his sinister eyes. Did Rain think that Annie would come back to him if he continued being distressed like this? Did he want to enjoy solitude? Edward decided to find something for him to do so he could forget the things that were distracting him from his work.

"I wouldn't dare to disobey you. I am just some poor labor, who is suppressed by a wealthy capitalist, How pitiful is this!" Rain said while standing up, his handsome face showing a playful smile. His expression revealed his feelings. He seemed indifferent to everything now.

Both Rain and Edward looked handsome, but their appeal was different in their own way. In comparison to Edward's gentle and graceful manner, Rain enchanted many more women with his playful face and slick style. So as soon as he walked out from his solitude, he attracted the attention of numerous women. They went crazy for him. But Rain no longer had the desire to flirt with them like he used to do before.

"Is Rain okay?" Duke looked at Rain's desolate and distressed face and asked with concern. Although they liked to laugh at each other's weak points, that didn't mean they were taking pleasure in other people's misfortune. This was their way of showing care for each other. They always rubbed salt on wounds so they would feel numb to the unbearable pain.

"Let him be. He will be better after a while. But I wonder what's going on with Annie. She used to love Rain. They why did she run away without any intimation? Ah! Women are strange! It's so difficult to understand them. As the saying goes, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean." Edward shook his head noncommittally, his eyes focusing on Daisy who was standing beside Belinda. His eyes inadvertently beamed with tenderness and joy.

Kevin liked how they got along with each other. They always made fun of each other on the surface, but they cared about each other in their hearts. Kevin was moved by their friendship. At the same time, he felt sad, because he thought that it was a long way for him to fit into their world. It wasn't about the difference of status, but the state of mind. Their friendship wasn't built in one day, the trust and love they shared was the result of years of togetherness.
