"Thailand? Why did he go there? He didn't tell me anything. Why didn't he? Was something wrong with him?" Leena looked at Edward, her eyes widening in surprise. What happened to Rain? Was something bothering him? What was he up to?
"Well. You probably need to ask him that in person to find out. I assume he would be pleased to tell you everything, " Edward replied. He looked at the reports in his hands, not bothered by Leena's presence. He seemed to be quite used to it.
"No, I won't! He will for sure bamboozle me. Well, I am not going to disturb you and your work any longer. I need to get some rest too. Wake me up when it's time." Leena walked to the sofa, leaving her phone on the desk. She was still somewhat tired after yesterday. Besides, she had just come back from Paris. She still suffered from the jet lag because of the time difference.
"Yes, get some rest. What were you up to yesterday? Were you at a robbery or something? Why do you want to sleep at this time in the morning?" Edward frowned slightly. She had been yawning for quite some time now. It was almost noon. He didn't understand why she was fatigued right now.
"Oh, yes! I robbed someone yesterday. But I didn't steal anything, but lost my own heart, " Leena replied jokingly and lay down on the sofa comfortably. She did not want to tell him too much about her private matters. That would be weird.
"Leena, aren't you happy with your life?" Upon hearing her unusual words, Edward looked at her and asked, frowning. He felt the discomfort in his heart. She had been his beloved princess since she was a child. He loved her very much. One of the last things he liked was to see her sad.
"Yes, of course I am happy! Why would you say that? I am very happy. I was just kidding. Don't take it so seriously, " Leena replied, sticking out her tongue. She had forgotten that Edward was a sensitive man deep down. He might sense something unusual, so she hastened to refute his concerns immediately. In any case, she did not think she was u about her. Was it because she had gotten up too early? Or was it because she was still exhausted because of him after last night? As he pondered on this, he felt that maybe he had gone too far with her. She was somewhat inexperienced in this aspect after all.
"Major General Gu, the Commander is looking for you, " The Commander's secretary walked in and informed him courteously as Kevin put the phone into his pocket.
"All right. I will be there right away." Kevin stood up and went to the Commander's office. He wondered why that old fox was looking for him.
"Hu hu! Major General Gu. I heard you are going home next week. Is that correct?" The commander's clear and loud laughter could be heard as soon as Kevin walked into the office.
"Yes, Commander. I would have forgotten had you not reminded me of it." It dawned on Kevin that he had not reported his leave to the Commander yet. He could not help but frown. How could he forget to do such an important thing?
"No worries. Your father called me up and told me to give you some time off so that you can bring your wife back home. He is looking forward to seeing her." Kevin's father was the Commander's leader. The Commander was bound to follow his orders as long as he wanted. After he finished talking to Kevin's father on the phone, he immediately fixed up Kevin's schedule.
