It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 186 Why Are You Here

Edward sank into his chair, rubbing between his eyebrows worriedly. He remembered the invitation from Mary, but he wasn't sure whether Daisy would come with him. Then he recalled what she said earlier. He became more anxious. After looking at the clock, Edward abruptly grabbed his car keys and strode toward the door.

"Mr. Mu, are you leaving?" Anna almost bumped into Edward as she was about to knock on the door with a pile of paper in her arms.

"Yes. Anything urgent?" Frowning, Edward stared at the papers Anna was holding.

"No. But the C Financial Group signed the contract. Do you want to have a look?" Anna asked hesitantly. Edward seemed preoccupied, and she had never seen him like this.

"No. I'll look it over tomorrow. Call me if there's anything earthshaking." Edward was a handsome man, and his every move or look was alluring. Women usually couldn't pry their eyes away from him once they saw him. They adored him and longed for his touch. But Anna didn't. She knew that there was no way she could handle Edward.

"Yes, Mr. Mu. I'll see you tomorrow." Anna stepped aside to let Edward pass.

"Okay. Bye." Edward replied calmly. He was satisfied with Anna. She always finished her work, and the quality was top-notch. She was a hard worker. And she knew her place -- she never tried to seduce Edward.

It was afternoon, and it was hot. It felt like the ground was burning up. Edward hated it. He popped into his car and cranked the AC.

After turning on the music, he loosened his tie and tossed it to the passenger side. He loosened the top two buttons on his shirt, revealing his firm chest. He was indeed a sexy man.

Edward bit his lip and started the car. The car before him was moving too slow. He maneuvered around it, and stepped on the gas. He sighed in relief when he finally left town and was in the outskirts.

Edward was amazed by how Daisy could affect his emotions. He was happy when she smiled and heartbroken when she cried. He couldn't focus on his work or anything. He wanted to see her and he drove immediately to her place.

Edward's lips curled into a smile as his fingers tapped constantly on the steering wheel. The scene was somehow breathtaking. Edward always knew how handsome he was, otherwise there wouldn't be so many women chasing after him, including Daisy. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

He beamed wider as he thought of Daisy. Edward had always been a player; he never thought that one day he would be so affectionate. 'Affectionate?' surprised by his own thoughts, Edward paused for a second and his car slowed. Luke was right behind him in another car, scared to death when he almost ran into Edward's car. He slammed on the brakes to avoid an accident. 'What was that all about?' Luke gasped.

It was still early when they arrived at the army base, and Daisy hadn't got off work yet. Edward didn't mind at all. He just sat in his car and waited for her. He wanted to sort things out in his mind, not about the accident on the road before, but his own feelings.

He had never waited for anyone in his entire life, that was, until very recently. It seemed that he had been waiting for her all the time lately. Was he spellbound? He didn't know, and didn't want to know.

Edward adjusted the seat to a comfortable position and leaned back. He closed his eyes and cleared his mind.

Luke was quiet as usual. He wouldn't interrupt Edward unless he gave him orders -- or he was in danger. Most of the time, Luke just followed Edward like a shadow.

"Colonel, it looks like Mr. Mu's car over there." Mark slowed down the car. He could see that Daisy was occupied with the papers in her hands. He had seen Edward's car once, so he recognized it instantly. It wasn't hard -- the cars in Edward's collection were famed worldwide.

"What? Are you sure?" Daisy asked doubtfully as she looked around. When she saw the expensive car outside the army base with the familiar license number, Daisy broke out a big smile.

"Colonel, is it him?" Mark was driving as slow as he could. He wasn't sure, so he asked again.

"Yes. It's his car. Stop the car, Mark. I'll get out here." 'What is he doing here? And he didn't call me. Didn't I tell him not to come here this morning? Why does he show up then?' Daisy was puzzled.

Luke wasn't too concerned when a vehicle drove out of the base. But he sprang into action as it rolled up next to Edward's car. He didn't know it was Daisy, so he immediately got out of his car and strode forward. It was his job to protect Edward. However, he wondered why Edward would be so uncaring when a strange car stopped near him.

Daisy stepped out of the car as Luke approached. Surprised, Luke paused. He didn't expect to see her.

"Mrs. Mu, It's you. Mr. Mu is..." Puzzled, Luke looked in the windows and only to find Edward was sound asleep, reclining in his car. No wonder he didn't notice Daisy's car. Little hard to do that with your eyes closed in sleep.

"Why are you here?" asked Daisy with a furrowed brow. He must be tired. Edward got up extra early that morning in order to drive Daisy to work. And he drove all the way here again to see her. He didn't call her because he was too tired; he wanted to take a nap before she got off work. At least he caught some z's.
