Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 224 Stay Away From Her (Part One)

The evening sky was bathed in a colorful glow. The soft light shone magnificently. The light penetrated

into the car windows and covered Daisy, adding splendor to her demeanor and making her look calm

and dignified.

"Colonel, are we going straight back?" Mark asked hesitantly, looking at Daisy through the rearview

mirror. Since Daisy's arm got hurt, he had moved to Edward's cottage to act as Daisy's driver. Since he

was her accompanying officer, there was nothing inappropriate about the arrangement.

"Hmm... Drive me to the FX International Group first," said Daisy. She got off work early today, so she

decided to take this chance to have a romantic date with Edward. The military exercises would start the

day after tomorrow, so they wouldn't see each other for quite a long time.

"Okay, Colonel," Mark smiled in understanding. He got accustomed to seeing her and Edward being

affectionate with each other these past few days, so her instruction wasn't surprising.

Daisy continued to read through the files in her hands. She was a very gentle woman in private. But to

outsiders, her aloofness was beautiful but intimidating. At first, she deliberately avoided Edward. But

now, she could get along with him easily. She didn't want to make her feelings for him seem too

obvious. But she felt it was now necessary to let Edward see her love for him.

The top-notch Humvee drove quickly on the wide road of the suburbs. Meanwhile, on the top floor of

FX International Group, a special guest had arrived. Every time she came over, she would make a big

fuss.

"Sir, Jessica Lin is here. She wants to meet with you and talk about work." Anna knew that the Lin

Group signed the contract with the construction company of the FX International Group only because of

Edward. But she didn't expect Jessica to come so soon. The contract was only signed yesterday. Now,

Jessica has made an appearance and is looking for Edward.

"What? Did you say Jessica? I'm not meeting her. Tell her to talk with the program manager of the

construction company. There's nothing for us to discuss." Edward refused without hesitation. He didn't

want to have any association with her before everything was clear. And he also wanted to avoid any

misunderstanding.

"She also said that she wanted to talk about Coco. If you don't meet with her, she said the

consequences would be bad," Anna added cautiously. She admired Jessica's courage to threaten

Edward. Didn't she know about Edward's temper after having been with him for so many years? One

thing he hated the most was people threatening him. Jessica dared to ruffle Edward's feathers, and he

had the temperament of a tiger. What a fearless woman! From NôvelDrama.Org.

"Consequences? The worst would be making me the headline of the news. Do you think I'm afraid of

that?" Edward pursed his lips with a sneer. His deep eyes were as cold as ice. He felt stupid for

believing that Jessica was a kind and considerate woman. He kept her by his side for many years

because he didn't want to break her heart. Now, he was suffering for his kindness. He should've let her

go earlier, Edward sighed heavily at the thought.

"I'm worried that she'll go to Mrs. Mu and make things worse," Anna frowned. She still maintained her

first impression of Daisy, cool but not arrogant. And she quite liked her.

"It's fine. Daisy doesn't usually come to the company. Most of the time, she stays in the military base.

It's unlikely that they'll see each other," Edward said. He wasn't worried that Daisy would run into

Jessica one day, because Daisy had been coming back home late recently. He assumed that she

wouldn't have time to drop by the company.

But he should've known that his confident assumptions would invite so much trouble for him later.

"Alright, sir. I'll take my leave now." As soon as Anna opened the door to leave, she was almost

knocked down by someone who whirled in like a gust of wind. Anna balanced herself by holding the

door to avoid falling down.

"Anna, be careful! Edward, I came in myself." Jessica looked at Anna with derision, before walking

towards Edward with a lovely smile. Unable to bear waiting outside his office any longer, she came in

without permission. She didn't think that Edward would blame her too harshly for this. After all, they had

been close to each other for years.

"Sir." Anna narrowed her eyes at Jessica's arrogant behavior and turned to Edward for help. She

looked apologetic.

"Okay, you may go back to your work first." Since Jessica had barged in, it was impossible for Anna to

make her leave now.

Jessica raised her eyebrows at Anna smugly. She knew that Edward wouldn't do anything to her, so

she went in without permission. She used to have the green light to enter this office at any time. Now,

she was asked to wait outside for confirmation. How could she bear the pitiful looks that everyone gave

her?

Anna ignored Jessica's pompous actions and walked out. Without knowing it, she inadvertently left the

office without fully closing the door. She went straight back to her work.

"Go ahead! What's the matter this time? Don't mention the child to me again. I've made it clear many

times that the child isn't mine." Edward didn't even look at her. A touch of irritation was clearly visible in

his eyes.

"Don't worry, Edward. It's not about the child. My father wants to invite you to dinner. He will also ask

Coco to come. This way, you can sit down and resolve the tension between you two." Jessica didn't

mind Edward's cold attitude towards her. She had multiple ways to have him warm up to her.
