It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 70

"Oh, I see. Have a nice meal! I'm sorry if I disturbed you." She didn't hang up the phone. Because during the call this morning, she had hung up the phone first. But later she remembered that he had forbidden her from hanging up the phone before him, come what may. So she waited for him to end the call first.

"Okay! I'll ask Luke to arrange a computer for you, and I'll try to come home early today." Edward's charismatic smile had Mary spellbound. She was wondering who Edward was talking to because he was kind and gentle on the phone. But that didn't matter, because one day that tenderness would only belong to her, thought Mary.

"Mr. Edward is a quite the ladies man! You probably has many lovers! You already have one beside you. It seems that you have one hidden in your house too. I wonder where you get the time and energy to deal with them all." Seeing that Edward has hung up the phone, Belinda began to sneer at him. Her tone was a little harsh. She didn't know that Daisy was already living with Edward, so naturally, she took it that Edward had another woman in his house. She felt pity for Daisy, so she gave a crude reaction without much consideration.

"Miss Belinda, you seem to care a lot about my private life. Are you feel jealous? Or have you fallen in love with me?" Edward joked. He already knew that Belinda was not interested in him. He had met her several times, yet he didn't spot any trace of admiration in her eyes, perhaps that's why he could joke with her intrepidly.

Belinda stared at him and remained silent. "Damn you jealous!" Belinda cursed him in her heart. The day she felt jealous for this deceitful scoundrel, the sun would rise from the west. Only inane women would make the mistake of falling in love with him and feeling jealous!

No! She reminded herself to stop thinking like this because the inane woman she was thinking of, was none other than her best friend Daisy.

"Mr. Mu, can't you stop being so narcissistic? I wish you'd change your ways because I'm sick of hearing your self-absorbed, egotistical babble." Belinda stared at him with contempt. Is being creative such a big challenge for the CEO of an international company? Did she have to teach him how to behave creative? Belinda thought.

"So, Miss Belinda, what would you like? I will do whatever you wish." Edward lifted his hand to look at the time, with a little frown. His manner seemed casual and languid.

Belinda moved her lips, but she didn't utter a word. She knew Edward's words were too ambiguous; they could easily mislead anyone.

"Miss Belinda, did you bring the contract with you? If you have it here, we can take this opportunity to sign the contract." Rain's remark broke the ice between Edward and Belinda. Belinda felt pleased to change the topic. She didn't want to think about who Edward was calling.

She replied, "I didn't bring it with me. But my office is not far from here. I can ask my secretary to bring it here, if you have some time to spare." Truth be told, Belinda wasn't an unreasonable person. The only reason she was so mean to Edward was that she didn't like his ways and the company he kept.

"That would be better. It will save me from going to your office again in the afternoon." Rain sighed with relief, as now he wouldn't have to go out in the sweltering hot weather.

"Okay! I will call my secretary and have the contract delivered right now." said Belinda. She fetched her phone and dialed the familiar number.
