It's been ten days…
Daemon hasn't returned yet. He seems to be very busy, at first he would call
Derila every day. Although it was only for a few minutes, but still he would hang on
to her.
But later, he didn't even call anymore.
The first time Derila held back from looking for him. She held back for two days and
took the initiative to send him a message, but he didn't even reply her.
Derila thought he should be busy and was dealing with an urgent matter, so it was
understandable that he didn't return messages, and that he would look for her when he
was done.
But after two more days, he still didn't look for her.
Derila became anxious and worried that something had happened to him, so she
approached Charles to ask about the situation there.
Charles said that everything was fine and also said that Mr.Lierger was just particularly
busy and should contact her in a few days when he was done. Adding that Mr.Lierger
had asked Charles to convey that he asked Ms.Feroma to take good care of her health
and not to worry about him.
When Derila heard these words, she became angry. She asked Charles to convey
them, which meant that Daemon kept in touch with Charles every day, if he could keep
in touch with his subordinates, why couldn't he return a message to her?
Charles didn't see that Derila was angry at all, and said, "Ms.Feroma, if there's
nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Hmm." Derila responded, "Go and get busy."
But soon, she called Charles back because she was bored and was lying on the sofa
brushing up on the news when she noticed that there was a news report that Penny was
touring Lierger's branch in Summerbank.
Penny was particularly high-profile, popping up in the media with various photos of her
attending parties in the area and meeting with local dignitaries and wealthy
businessmen, with the media praising her as a new generation of businesswoman.
It was also said that such an outstanding her could only be worthy of Daemon.
When Derila saw these news, she was instantly anxious and immediately had
someone call Charles back to ask if what the news said was true.
The news was that Charles was a straight shooter, and without thinking about it, he said
that Penny had indeed gone to Summerbank and was indeed touring the branch, and
that it was the media who had said that he was a natural couple with Mr.Lierger.
Derila was about to explode with anger and asked a follow-up question, "Then
Daemon is also in Summerbank now?"
"Yes." Charles nodded without even thinking.
Derila's face instantly turned dark and sullen, and without saying a word, she threw
the tablet out of the window and fell into the pool with a poof.
"Uh"
Charles froze for a moment, then realized that Derila might be angry, and hurriedly
explained, "Ms.Feroma, don't misunderstand, although Mr.Lierger and Miss Penny
arrived in Summerbank on the same day, but it was not a prior appointment."
"So they still arrived in Summerbank on the same day?" This time, Derila became
even more angry, and continued, "I trusted him too much and thought he was really
going to be busy with work and was actually dating Penny."
"No, it's not."
"Shut up, get out!"
Derila launched into a temper and didn't want to listen to anyone's words.
Her mind was now full of images of Daemon dating Penny, and thinking about it made
her furious.
She immediately called Daemon's number. This time she got through, but was hung up
straight away.
She was even more annoyed. Could it be that he was now with Penny and was not
available to answer her calls?
She sent a text message to Daemon: "Call me back immediately, immediately!"
Her anger was already raging in her head and she couldn't wait a moment.
Soon, Daemon's phone call came: "What's wrong? What's going on?"
His tone was urgent. He thought something had happened to her.
"Are you with Penny?" Derila questioned directly.
Daemon didn't say anything, but the silence seemed to ask, rhetorically, why she was
asking such a question.
Derila almost thought she was being overly paranoid and was about to ask about
the news when a girl's voice came from the other end of the phone –
"Daemon, I've changed my clothes, I'm ready to go!"
