My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Edward sank into his chair, rubbing between his eyebrows worriedly. He remembered the invitation from Mary, but he wasn't sure whether Daisy would come with him. Then he recalled what she said earlier. He became more anxious. After looking at the clock, Edward abruptly grabbed his car keys and strode toward the door.

"Mr. Mu, are you leaving?" Anna almost bumped into Edward as she was about to knock on the door with a pile of paper in her arms.

"Yes. Anything urgent?" Frowning, Edward stared at the papers Anna was holding.

"No. But the C Financial Group signed the contract. Do you want to have a look?" Anna asked hesitantly. Edward seemed preoccupied, and she had never seen him like this.

"No. I'll look it over tomorrow. Call me if there's anything earthshaking." Edward was a handsome man, and his every move or look was alluring. Women usually couldn't pry their eyes away from him once they saw him. They adored him and longed for his touch. But Anna didn't. She knew that there was no way she could handle Edward.
