| ← Ch.0914 | Ch.0916 → |
Daisy was not a young girl who was clueless about the adult world. She immediately realized what had happened and why Leena was still asleep this late into the morning. As she looked at Kevin's uncomfortable expression, she could not help but feel embarrassed. Her face turned red. Fortunately, her cell phone rang the same moment. It saved her from the awkwardness of the situation.
"It is Leena, " Daisy told Kevin as she took a look at the caller ID. She pressed the answer key.
"Sis Daisy, it's me, Leena. Did I disturb you at work?" Leena wore a sports attire that day. Leaning her back against the soft sofa in the president's office of FX International Group, she spoke on the phone in her sweet voice. She looked quite cozy and comfortable.
"Leena, I am glad that you still remember to call me! I heard you came back yesterday. You didn't inform us. Did you forget us so easily? Hmm, I wonder." Daisy passed the file in her hand to Mark who walked over to her. She relaxed her stiff arm.
"Ha ha. I'm sorry, Sis Daisy! I was just too busy after I landed, so I went home. I forgot to call you. But you see now, I called immediately as soon as I remembered to." Leena blinked at Edward. She had come to FX International Group to thank him for buying her the expensive villa. Leena had chosen all their presents very carefully and planned to give them when she visited their home. However, Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Jonathan had gone out. As for the others? Some went to work and one was at school. No one was home. So, she decided to bring the gifts to FX International Group. Besides, Rain was also here. She could give him his present here without having to visit his house.
"You wicked girl. Come and visit us. We haven't seen you in about a month." Daisy glanced at Kevin who just shrugged his shoulders. He wouldn't interfere with Leena's freedom. She had her own life and he would never impede her choices.
"I am with Edward aking a single noise." Edward knocked on her head dotingly, handing over her phone.
"Ha ha. That's because you are so handsome. So what happened? Will Sis Daisy be having lunch with us?" Leena looked at him, awaiting his answer. She wanted to see Daisy too.
"Well, it depends! I'm not sure yet. You can call Belinda and Duke too. Check with them if they can come or not." Edward looked at the files on his desk. His workload had increased all of a sudden because of Rain who had gone to Thailand. No one else could take up his job.
"Don't worry! They can make it. I already called them before I came here. But... where is Rain? I haven't seen him yet, " Leena wondered in a confused tone. Rain usually appeared promptly whenever she arrived at the company. She had been there for long, but he still had not shown up. Where was his sultry self? Leena thought it was extremely unusual for him to not present himself.
"Oh, yes, Rain! He went to Thailand and hasn't come back yet. I thought he told you about it. Didn't he?" Edward was going through the documents but stopped for a second upon hearing Leena's reply. He thought that Rain had called Leena to complain about his overbearing attitude. But to his surprise, Rain had kept silent and not said a word about it. He surprised him.
