Rain looked at Belinda in appreciation and smiled charmingly. Seeing how much she valued friendship, he realized that he had underestimated her before. He had considered her as a bossy and self-centered girl from a wealthy family. What he saw today was unexpected. He cheered her on in heart, 'Bravo Belinda! I like Daisy too.'
"When did I offend Daisy?" said Mary as she looked at Edward as if to check if he still remembered her existence.
"Didn't you? Then why did she slap you?" responded Belinda, without considering the outcome of what she said.
"No way! Belinda, are you sure you are talking about Daisy?" Rain was surprised that a calm person like Daisy would slap someone.

"I can't take a break yet. It seems that I will be too occupied to go home tonight, let alone eat." Daisy was still busy with the files while she was talking until she heard the bitter words from the other side of the phone. She was shocked.
