"How can you even be laughing at this time? You're amazing!" Edward said. He glanced at Rain and studied him for awhile. It was indeed amazing how Rain appeared unconcerned. It had already been a month yet he had not taken action, except to remain calm. The only explanation Edward could think of was that Rain was growing more mature and patient over time.
"What? Would you rather see me cry?" Rain insisted. The truth was, he did feel like crying. As if the problems faced by the KD Group were not stressful enough, here was Edward giving him more matters to sort out. Rain was sure to be busy in the next few days.
"Yeah, you should," Edward encouraged, and added, "I heard that Vance has been secretly contacting all the shareholders." That said, Edward dumped a stack of documents on the desk, without having to give instruction that he look these over.
Inhaling deeply, Rain concurred. "Yes, I also heard that. It's just surprising he isn't behaving as sneakily as I thought he would. I mean, look, even you found out about what he was doing." His lips curled into a sardonic smile. 'Ha! It appears they haven't learned their lesson from Cyrus' experience. Well, I don't mind teaching them again, ' Rain thought to himself.
"Be careful, Rain, and don't let them fool you. It's crucial not to let your guard down after what happened the last time," Edward warned. If not for the help of the FX International Group, Rain would not have the upper hand in the end and be able to come back. He really should remember to be more careful now.
"I know," Rain agreed. "So I'll be more careful this time. Now, I understand why they're doing this. What they want is for me to quit the KD Group. That's what this is all about," he added. His lips curled into an unfathomable smile, yet Rain's face remained unreadable. He honestly didn't give a damn about KD Group initially, because he had no intentions of kicking the people out so he could take over the company. But since it became clear to Rain that they badly wanted him to leave,
ce her," Rain said. He now looked impassive as he spoke. He didn't want to talk to Eleanor Xiao if he could help it. Rain honestly didn't like the woman at all.
And his attitude irked Duke, who gritted his teeth in annoyance. He glared at Rain for a moment before turning to look at Edward. He hoped the other man would say something about his request. He badly needed this favor.
But Edward was quick to disassociate himself. "Don't look at me. I'm not in charge of the entertainment company," he said. But he was telling the truth when he said that. Edward wasn't in charge of the entertainment company. To make sure his wife would not have reason to be jealous, he stopped associating with women in showbiz. The last thing he wanted was a misunderstanding because of women.
"Aren't you the CEO?" Duke demanded. "This is something you can clearly decide." Instantly, Duke's pleading gaze turned into a glare after hearing Edward's words. How could both men reject his request when he rarely asked them for favors? Duke was in disbelief.
"Well, you're a CEO, too. So, you should understand. You can't control what your employees want to do or not," Edward said calmly. He did roll his eyes at Duke's outburst. He might be the CEO, but he was not in charge of every little detail. Duke himself should know this because they held similar positions.
