Chapter 39 She'll Come Tomorrow

Kevin hadn't taken his eyes off of Daisy since she had come in. He had been kind of upset at her attitude last night. That was why he had decided to leave without her this morning. Actually, he had been trying to avoid her for fear that he would say something stupid to her again.

Daisy knew nothing about his concerns. She just wondered why he was acting so weird today, not realizing it had anything to do with what happened last night.

"What took you so long?" Kevin frowned and asked. He wasn't angry, but worried.

"Because I had to deal with something." Daisy answered simply. She knew what he had been talking about. If the Hummer hadn't broken down on the way, she wouldn't have been so late.

Just as Mark had expected, It was quite a long meeting -- it went till 5 pm. Daisy was really worried that she wouldn't be able to pick up Justin before Edward left his office.

"Mrs. Daisy, hold on. Just a minute." Daisy heard that as she was rushing to leave. She frowned and stopped there, wondering 'what now?'

"Anything else, sir?" Daisy sounded anxious.

"Did you hear what I said?" The girl had gone too far. She hadn't heard a thing he said.

"What? You said the meeting was over, didn't you?" Daisy was confused. She looked at the commander with her head tilted.

"Ha! You weren't actually listening, then. I said we're having a party to celebrate your victory. I'm ordering everyone to attend." With that, he turned and walked out of the meeting room before Daisy could say anything.

Her mood darkened. She couldn't go and pick up Justin now! 'I want to see you, Justin. But my commander won't let me go.'

now the boy was staring at her with a smile.

"Got it. Mr. Su, please go and tell him I'll be there soon." She needed a bath after that long journey. The commander would have to wait.

"Yes, madam. Please come ASAP, or he will send someone else for you." Everyone here knew that their commander was an impatient man, but Daisy always kept him waiting, which annoyed him.

"Okay! I will. Thank you, Mr. Su." Daisy knew what her commander was like. Sometimes she just tried to annoy him on purpose, because most of time he didn't have any good reason she should be there.

"No problem. Madam, I gotta go." With that, he ran off.

Daisy laughed at herself and shook her head. She walked to the dorm in ten minutes time. Firth floor. Her place. It was not a big space, but the atmosphere inside was so warm that you wouldn't imagine a cool girl like her was living here.

After a quick shower, Daisy slipped into a summer uniform without combing her hair. Just then, she heard a knock on her door. 'Who?' she thought, and opened the door. She was surprised to see Kevin standing there.
