Chapter 646 B Country (Part Three)


    "Report!" A resonant baritone interrupted her thoughts. She looked at her watch and realized that she


    had been musing for quite a while now.


    "Pleasee in," Daisy replied. Judging from the way he knocked, which was very formal and polite,


    she knew it wasn''t Mark. He was a lot less serious but always looked as if he was on his way to deal


    with some kind of emergencies.


    Entering the room was a young man full of vigor and vitality. His name was Lee. He saluted Daisy first


    and then reported, "Colonel, Major General Gu asked me to give these documents to you before he


    left. He said you might need them." After saying that, he stepped forward to hand over the documents.


    "I see. It''s very nice of him to be so thoughtful, but it seems that he doesn''t really trust my working


    abilities," said Daisy with a faint smile, as she picked up the folder and sat down on her chair.


    "No, you should not get it wrong. I am sure this was not his intention. He sorted out this information for


    you to use it as a source of reference. The next call of action and the final decision are in your hands


    only, colonel." Daisy was amused by how Lee took her words so seriously. She obviously knew Kevin


    well and didn''t take any offence in getting help from him.


    To reassure him, she said, "Okay, I get it. I appreciate both yours and his help. Please don''t take me so


    seriously. I was just joking." ''Why couldn''t he see that I was only joking?'' thought Daisy to herself,


    knitting her brows, ''Have I always been serious in the past?''


    Lee moved his lips but couldn''t think of anything to reply. In fact, he didn''t even think that Daisy was


    joking, because he didn''t find anything funny about it. He had always been used to Daisy''s


    conscientiousness and preciseness. So, today when she talked in a rather casual way, it was a little


    hard for him to ept.


    Seeing that his work was done here, Lee excused himself and left the room. Though Daisy was a little


    annoyed by the idea that Kevin thought that she was''tpetent enough to handle the work all by


    herself, she knew he meant well. Therefore, she opened the folder and went through the whole file that


    he had prepared for her. To her surprise, there was a list of exactly all the things she needed to do


    today. This would save her at least a couple of hours. A surge of gratitude overtook her as she thought


    about how considerate and supportive Kevin was to her.


    Feeling a little overwhelmed, Daisy bit her lip unconsciously. After checking the time, she finally picked


    up her phone and dialed.


    "Hello?" replied Leena, half asleep. She was sleeping when her phone rang, and she picked it up


    without bothering to open her eyes to see who it was. She had been up all night to finish the drafts for


    her impending winter clothes press conference.


    "Leena, are you still in bed?" Daisy looked down to check the time again. It was past eleven in the


    morning. She almost thought she called at the wrong hour.


    "Oh, it''s you, Sis. Do you need anything?" asked Leena, shaking her head a little to wake herself up.


    "Why? I can''t call you when I don''t need anything?" Daisy asked back with a wry smile. This was the


    second time in the day when her behavior was stereotyped. She couldn''t help but ponder if she had


    been really predictable in the past.


    "No, I didn''t mean that. It''s just that you are so busy all the time that you seldom call me unless it''s for


    something important," replied Leena, sitting up straight on the bed and pushing a hand through her hair


    to clear them off her face. She was fully awake now, but was still tired.


    "Hey, are youining?" Daisy couldn''t help but smile. Her eyes were filled with tenderness. If there


    was one person who she really cared about and thought of as family, it was Leena.


    "No! With your guardian angel Edward by your side, I won''t dare to say a bad word about you in a


    million years," pouted Leena. She knew she couldn''t mess with a man who was crazily in love with the


    woman she was talking to.


    "If it pleases you, say whatever you want. But seriously, how are you these days living all by yourself?"


    said Daisy, as a faint smile flickered across her lips. She had a mixed feeling of embarrassment and


    happiness when she heard Leena joke about her and Edward.


    "Sis, you are not spying on me, are you?" Leena thought it was actually possible. Though Kevin


    couldn''t contact her personally, he still had connections in the army base. This meant he could be in


    touch with Daisy. She suspected that Kevin had asked Daisy to check on her.


    "Spying? Are you kidding? You should really cut down on your time watching cops and robbers on TV!"


    said Daisy with a frown. She didn''t really understand why Leena asked whether she was spying on her


    or not.


    "Did someone ask you to check on me, so as to make sure that his house is safe with me?" Leena still

    got goose bumps when she remembered the million things Kevin asked her to keep in mind before he


    left. She realized that a man could really drive you crazy when he was over-protective, and garrulous.


    "Oh, you mean Major General Gu. No, of course he didn''t. He is undergoing a discreet training course.


    Nobody is allowed to get in touch with him. So, rx, you still have the whole house to your self. Even


    if you put all of his stuff up for auction, there is nothing he can do about it right now."


    It was obvious that Kevin had been using the same tactic on Leena as he did on her - flooding her with


    tips, rules to follow, and whatnot. "Poor Leena, '' she thought, shaking her head slightly with a smile.


    "For the record, I have no interest in his stuff. I''d be more than happy as long as he doesn''t make me


    listen to him talking about how to take care of myself. Sis, is he also like this at work? Setting millions of


    rules and giving orders to other people?" It wasn''t that Kevin liked nagging people. It''s just that, to him,


    Leena was like a child, and he felt the need to protect her. This was why, before he left home, he


    repeatedly ensured that nothing would go wrong while he was gone.


    "How do you think he is like when he is at work?" said Daisy with a sly grin. An idea of ying a little


    trick on Leena had just crossed her mind. It turned out that Justin didn''t inherit his evil character solely


    from his father; his mother contributed her share too.
