Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Do You Have Nothing To Do?
Even then, Belinda admired that she had a really strange but powerful predictive skills. As was expected, Daisy stood her up again! Belinda couldn't be more upset after reading the message from Daisy which said she had to call off their shopping plans. Everything seemed so wrong to her at that moment.
"Miss CEO, the contract with FX International Group has been drafted. Should it be sent to them now?" The secretary asked cautiously while carrying a pile of files in her hands. She noticed her boss looked very horrible today and it seemed that she was about to explode in anger.
"Just let them come and take it. We have no obligation to send it by ourselves." Belinda felt she treated Daisy far too nicely so that she was stood up again and again. Now that she couldn't do anything on Daisy, she thought she might take it out on the people she was in love with.
"But would that be all right?" Her boss didn't even care about the FX International Group!
"It's not a big deal. Just do it as I said so!" Then Belinda waved off the secretary out of the office.
Actually, there was another person as mad as her this summer morning and that was just the person whom Belinda was going to start a war with. It was Edward. Besides, their madness was because of the same person -- our great Colonel Daisy.
"Mr. Huang, is this the new deal you're offering me? Do you think it is worth the money I'll pay for you?" Edward said with disdain as his cold fierce eyes could kill every executive in this room with just one glance. All the executives were chilled and scared with his anger and were too frightened to say anything.
"Boss, we will fix it immediately!" Said the director of the Planning Department as he wiped his forehead and smiled nervously. Everybody knew how horrible it was when the CEO got angry.
"I want to see a proposal that will satisfy me before the end of the day. You can go now." Edward said, then stood up and walked away without any eye contact with the people in the meeting room. Later, the people left the room all relieved and thought that they'd better avoid to get near to the CEO's office.
Edward touched the screen of his phone for like thousands of times, locking his eyes on just one number. But he didn't dial just yet. He was thinking 'Does she even care about me'? Ever since he got attracted to her, he thought of her all the time.
He felt so upset that he put his phone aside and decided to ignore her. Lately, he had paid more attention to her and this fact made him felt depressed.
"Edward, what are you thinking? You cannot just get lost in it." As soon as the words full of tease and fearlessness came through the door, Rain showed up, with a bright smile on his face.
Edward frowned and glanced at him impatiently, then opened the files and continued with his work. He totally ignored him.
Rain touched his head with confusion, wondering what was wrong with him in such a good morning time. Now this could explain why the whole building seemed at low spirits. That was because their CEO was releasing the cold energy.
Rain walked straight to the couch and sat on it. Actually, he didn't care about whether Edward ignored him or not. He was just sitting there and watching Edward with his amorous eyes as if he could find the answers he wanted from Edward.
"Do you have nothing to do?" Edward asked without looking at him and went on with his work.
"I am busy! But I've still got time to care about you." He knew that Edward would not ignore his presence as long as he kept staring at him.
"You don't need to worry about me. Just think more about Annie! There are only a few days left until next month comes." They liked to talk in this sarcastic tone against each other until such moment they see the other side getting embarrassed.
"As you said, there are still a few days left. It would be a bit too early if I went there now. Your work is far more important." Rain responded in a bored manner rather than with a high spirit.
"What is my problem?" Edward looked up at him finally. He was so confused.
"I can tell from your worried eyes that you are not well. The low mood inside the building can even scare the sunshine away." What's happening with Edward? He saw the miserable expressions of all the senior executives when they walked out of the meeting room.
"It seems you have plenty of time. Should I consider asking C Financial Group to come into S City in advance?" Edward talked in a calm and casual way. He always knew how to take advantage of others' weakness and make them give in.
"No way. Edward, how can you tease me so?" Damn! Why does this cold-hearted man always took Annie as the weapon to beat me down? He would win every single time!
"Am I teasing you? I just tried to make your mind busy so as not to mind other people's business." There were times that Edward couldn't bear with Rain's personality of gossiping. To be honest, all Rain's problems were because he had nothing to do. It was time to make him as busy as a bee. Rain would rather never come here if he had known what Edward was thinking. All the things that happened afterwards in his life was because of today's curse.
"Uh… well... I have something else to do, and I don't want to trouble you to get me a job." Rain stood up immediately and ran away in a heap of panic from this creepy guy as he knew Edward would be sure to do this for him.
With a beautiful grin curving on his face, Edward watched Rain move out in a funny way and this helped him to release the emotions stored in him for a long while. Actually, he kind of understood why Rain was afraid of meeting Annie. If he was Rain, he would choose to run away, too. After all, Annie was such a nice girl with a pure heart that Rain feared that his dark personality would intimidate her. What he wanted was just to appreciate her beauty from afar.
Then he picked up his phone again and finally dialed a familiar number.
"Hey! Duke, are you available tonight?" It was not the one he really wanted to call.
"Yes. I am! Why?" Duke paused from his work, sitting back leisurely.
"Let's grab a drink tonight!" Edward thought he needed the alcohol to make the pain temporarily go away. Otherwise, he could not explain to himself why he could not get that woman out of his mind. He was becoming crazy about her.
"What? Why don't you stay at home and be a good man?" Duke made fun of him, knowing that there must be something that bothered him. It was always like that when Edward asked to accompany him to have a drink.
"None of your nonsense. Are you going or not?" Edward was getting a little annoyed.
"How could I say no since you have said so? Just name it. The old place?" Duke didn't make fun of him anymore. Edward's tone was kind of serious.
"Let's go to the City of Night Romance. It's boring to go to just one place over and over again." He said so because he wanted to relax himself and release his emotions there. The music and the effects there were perfect.
"All right. See you tonight." Although Duke did not like the noise in the City of Night Romance, as long as Edward liked to be there, he was good with it.
"All right. See you tonight." Edward hung up the phone slowly. He was not getting any better.
