"Oh, I see. Have a nice meal! I'm sorry if I disturbed you." She didn't hang up the phone. Because during the call this morning, she had hung up the phone first. But later she remembered that he had forbidden her from hanging up the phone before him, come what may. So she waited for him to end the call first.
"Okay! I'll ask Luke to arrange a computer for you, and I'll try to come home early today." Edward's charismatic smile had Mary spellbound. She was wondering who Edward was talking to because he was kind and gentle on the phone. But that didn't matter, because one day that tenderness would only belong to her, thought Mary.
"Mr. Edward is a quite the ladies man! You probably has many lovers! You already have one beside you. It seems that you have one hidden in your house too. I wonder where you get the time and energy to deal with them all." Seeing that Edward has hung up the phone, Belinda began to sneer at him. Her tone was a little harsh. She didn't know that Daisy was already living with Edward, so naturally, she took it that Edward had another woman in his house. She felt pity for Daisy, so she gave a crude reaction without much consideration.
"Miss Belinda, you seem to care a lot about my private life. Are you feel jealous? Or have you fallen in love with me?" Edward joked. He already knew that Belinda was not interested in him. He had met her several times, yet he didn't spot any trace of admiration in her eyes, perhaps that's why he could joke with her intrepidly.
Belinda stared at him and remained silent."Damn you jealous!" Belinda cursed him in her heart. The day she felt jealous for this deceitful scoundrel, the sun would rise from the west. Only inane women would make the mistake of falling in love with him and feeling jealous!
No! She reminded herself to stop thinking like this because the inane woman she was thinking of, was none other than her best friend Daisy.
"Mr. Mu, can't you stop being so narcissistic? I wish you'd change your ways because I'm sick of hearing your self-absorbed, egotistical babble." Belinda stared at him with contempt. Is being creative on me again. Don't expect that I will forgive you this time." After Belinda had vented out, she realized that her voice had been too loud. She looked around and found that Edward didn't notice her. He was on another table speaking softly with Mary. She instantly felt relieved.
Rain was sitting quite close to Belinda as they were discussing the contract. He had heard Belinda's offensive language. But he did not know the Daisy whom Belinda was talking to. He merely frowned when Belinda cursed and then continued to scan the contract.
"My dear friend Belinda, just spare me this time, please! I promise it will never happen again." Daisy said. Daisy only revealed her lovely side when she was with Belinda. Judging from her cute voice, no one could imagine that she was a stern and cold female colonel.
"Get away from me! I will not be the daughter of my mother if I trust you again!" When Belinda heard how Daisy was trying to make peace with her, she felt delighted. Yet, her reply came out in a firm tone.
"Oh! Belinda. If you are not the daughter of your mother, then who calls you daughter?" Daisy smiled when she heard Belinda had brought up her dearest mother. It seemed that Belinda was really angry with her this time.
"I'm still my father's daughter. You're so stupid!" Belinda said nonchalantly. At the same time, she glanced at the contract, took a pen and signed her name on the contract.
