Chapter 353: You Win (part two)

Edward frowned. It appeared that he needed to teach Rain a good lesson after this topic was finished. He was disappointed because Rain hadn't given him any important information yet.

"Have you heard it? The Army Group was planning to invite bids for the construction of a modernized information building and new residential buildings for soldiers and their families. But now they've given up the plan and handed over the case directly to the construction company of FX International Group." Enduring Edward's threatening looks, Rain finally spat out the key points. After Edward heard them, he really wanted to beat Rain to death. Because Rain had tormented him for so long, but the content was not what he wanted to hear. It was a total waste of time.

"You seem overjoyed by such a small project worthy of a small amount. Don't forget that the money we've financed them on the military equipment is several times larger than the money we will profit from this project." Edward stared at Rain. He regretted that he had chosen Rain to be the vice president of the company. He felt that Rain was just a sandwich short of a picnic. Especially after Annie left him abruptly.

"I knew you'd react like this. But what if I have more news? Would you still say that I'm deliberately casting a mist on your eyes?" Rain said with ease. He was determined to tease Edward this time. He was sure that Edward would stop staring at him with such a sullen look when he heard what he had to say.

More news? Does it have anything to do with Daisy's displacement?"

This topic instantly cheered up Edward. As this concerned Daisy, he suddenly became relaxed and everything seemed negotiable.

"Yes, exactly. They said they wouldn't record Daisy's matter into the file to show the appreciation for our support. And they specially asked her to take two days off to make up for everything she has suffered. What do you think? Are you satisfied now?" Rain showed a charming smile with his head shaking slightly. The royal blue ear studs sparkled beautifully with his movement, making him look all the more fascinating. If Edward hadn't mentioned Daisy's trouble to him yesterday night, he would have been surprised by the call this morning.

"That should be the case. I thought that they would continue to be stubborn about it. Have you found the person behind the plot?" Although the Army Commander had given his word to Edward yesterday, Edward wasn't able to relax before everything finally settled down. Now that he had heard the news, he felt relieved.

"No, I don't have a clue. Can you think of someone?" Rain didn't believe that Edward had no idea about who might have done it. It was too obvious. Rain considered that Edward probably lacked the evidence to prove his doubt.

"Yes! If she is responsible for everything that happened to Daisy, I think soon you'll be busy again." Edward sneered, 'Jessica, I hope you remember what I said to you earlier. Don't provoke Daisy, or even God won't be able to help you this time, '' Edward thought.

"Why is it me again? Can't you ask someone else to do it?" Rain got upset as soon as he heard Edward's words. Last time, Edward asked him to punish the Lin Group. He had sex with Annie after he got drunk. And now, Annie had disappeared. If this time Edward asked him to obliterate the Lin Group, he couldn't imagine what would happen.

"You know how to handle such things. You're the most suitable person to manage this. No one looks as idle as you do!" Edward ignored Rain's dramatic look. Speaking of social skills, Rain was no worse than Edward. It mostly depended on whether he was willing to deal with someone or not.

"What? Do I look idle? Boss, why don't you go to my office and look on my table how many pending plans that need to be finished? I think I won't be able to finish them by next month." 'Huh, Edward is indeed a heinous businessman. He knows how to use different ways to enslave me. I'm just a poor bread earner. I wish I had four hands. Otherwise, I won't finish all the work and the chances of taking a holiday are faint now. Then when can I find time to look for Annie?' Rain grumbled in his heart.

"This is all because you are so inefficient with your work. You should blame it on yourself." Edward didn't doubt what Rain had said about his workload because Edward gave him all the work. He did it intentionally so Rain wouldn't have time to think about Annie. Why search for someone who didn't want to be found, Edward thought.

It would be better for Rain to get busy with work and forget the things that troubled him. If Annie really loved him and didn't want to leave him, she would come back to Rain one day.

"Huh! You mean it's all my fault. Can you explain why the files which should be handled by you are sitting on my table?" Rain stared at Edward, feeling speechless. 'Edward is so shameless to say such words. Obviously, he transferred his work to me. And he is so brazen to put all the blame on me, ' Rain thought.

"The reason is simple. I rarely get a chance to go out with Daisy. You need to help me manage all the work when I'm out. Otherwise, why am I paying you such a high monthly salary?" Edward didn't have the slightest feeling of shame when he said this. Because in his eyes, the vice president was supposed to work for him passionately. No one else was more suitable for this job than Rain.

You Win, okay? I will wait to see your miserable face when Daisy gets angry with you. You're so cunning. I hope you screw up your date and get a trashing from Daisy. Rain cursed and turn around to leave, his face was flaming with furry. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Luke who was about to come inside.
