My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Chapter 867 Senior Colonel (Part One)

"Don't take anything for granted. Better to stay alert. Everything is up in the air right now. Don't underestimate anyone, or you might lose. These are good rules for business and war." Daisy said and frowned, having no idea why this woman kept repeating her mistake again and again.

"If they somehow succeeded, you wouldn't say I'm a profiteer then." Edward teased Daisy roguishly. 'Thank God she finally cooled down. What a little nice cutie, " Edward thought.

"You are a profiteer. But I'm not going to kick myself over my choice. Just be yourself, you little prince, " Daisy said roughly and glanced at him. She wasn't a vainglorious woman, but she wasn't stupid enough to see Edward unsuccessful. After all, she had no intention of discarding all she had and living a poor life. From this point of view, she was like anyone else. It was typical of people to think about it like this, right? She was no exception.

"Now that you've decided to accept me as a profiteer, I'll see if I can live up to your expectations! But remember, you asked me to do it. So you can't call me a profiteer anymore." Edward haggled with Daisy, looking reluctant, which made Daisy desperate to kick him. 'How could he say that I asked him to do that? He couldn't live a poor life even if he had to, ' Daisy thought. She said it all on his account. She would never be influenced by his wealth. After all, most of the time in the past, her life was not happier than the poor people since her mother died. She didn't see her life back then as better than that of anyone with less money. But Edward was different. He was raised in a rich and noble family. How could he compare to her?

"I want you to eat shit. Why don't you do that?" Daisy glanced at him with cold eyes. She thought she couldn't underestimate his impudence.

"Ew! That's nasty! How can you say such things?" Edward said. Sure enough, he was more suited to be a noble than a commoner. Even if she just mentioned it once, he'd got a mental image and been disgusted. He had delicate sensibilities. The CEO didn't know there were so many people out there living a life that he found disgusting. As a rich man, how could he get it?

"So! To avoid hearing this stuff on the daily, you just be the rich man we both know you are!" Daisy said and looked at him scornfully, her eyes full of contempt.

"Why are you looking at me like that, colonel? Could you be gentler?" E

He wasn't about to tell her.

"Any ideas, Kevin? What could it be? He's being really evasive." Daisy said to Kevin, who was right next to her. And the commander had no intention to tell her.

"I don't know what this sly old fox has got up his sleeve, either. We can just wait and see now that he's let on that he has something to tell you. But it couldn't be a bad thing for sure. Otherwise he wouldn't be smiling. That old coot has a soft spot in his heart for you." Kevin said. He was confused too. They could do nothing if the commander didn't say anything more about this. All they could do was just wait.

"Kevin, you're so dead. How could you say the commander is a sly old fox? Or an old coot?" Daisy said it louder on purpose, hoping the commander would hear her. All his kindness went out the window, and she was in a playful mood. It was like the old saying: "A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman."

"Ahem! Kevin, I've heard them all." The commander said, pretending to be serious. His glare at Kevin showed the poise of a leader, but there was a gleam in his eye.

"Commander, you didn't hear anything." Kevin said calmly without any shame about that. It seemed that he had never said that before.

"Kid, do you think I'm deaf? The entire army could hear you. You have a lot of nerve to try and shrug it off, " the commander said, glaring at Kevin, But it didn't work on Kevin as he knew the commander was just making joke with him.

"Commander, are you sure you're going to keep arguing about this with me?" Kevin said with a cold smile. He was trying to change the topic.
