Erasmus was startled when she heard this voice, feeling a chill on her neck, she didn't even dare to turn around to look, because she knew who this voice belonged to, but she had been caught, could she still escape? Of course not. Erasmus could only take a deep breath and turn her face to the right, look at the man in the formal suit, and smile as friendly as possible but her voice was a bit forced: 'Chief Luke, why are you here?"
'You said you were tired but it turns out you can still eat hot pot."
The man put his hands in his pockets and looked at Erasmus.
'Hehe, I… I…"
Erasmus looked at Daisy with a slightly embarrassed expression for help.
Receiving her friend's plea for help, Daisy sighed inwardly, realizing that the man in front of her was not simple. Even if Erasmus came here for her, she could not just stand by and watch her die without saving her. She looked at the man and said, 'Hello, I am Erasmus's friend, my name is Daisy. From the way she addresses me, it seems like you are her department head, right?"
'Yes, what's the matter?"
Luke asked a little coldly.
'Ah, the thing is, I have an important party tonight that requires me to go buy some things, but I'm not good at choosing, so I asked Erasmus to go with me. I didn't know that she was unwell. Normally, she is very devoted to her friends, so even if her body is weak, she still wants to help me."
After speaking, she turned to Erasmus and scolded: 'I see your complexion is not good, why did you agree to come with me? Aren't you worried about your health? If you get sick, wouldn't I feel very guilty? Do you want me to feel guilty before you are satisfied?"
Erasmus also knew that Daisy was helping her, so she also imitated her, pretending to cough a few times: 'Didn't you say that tonight's party is very important to you? I know you're not good at choosing clothes. As your best friend, even if I'm bedridden, I will still run here to help you. Daisy, you have to shine tonight. That way, my trip here won't be in vain."
Luke looked at the two women in front of him who were trying their best to act, he just stood there watching, while the person beside him turned his head away.
Daisy glanced at the other man's exaggerated expression and the indifferent expression of the man in front of him, knowing that they didn't believe her.
She sighed and shrugged at Erasmus, saying, I've tried my best.
Luke looked at his watch, seemingly not wanting to stay and watch the show anymore, he looked at Erasmus and said, "Let's go."
"Go, where, why should I follow you?"
Erasmus asked in surprise.
"Back to the hospital."
Luke said indifferently and walked away, Erasmus said goodbye to Daisy and followed Luke.—
Daisy didn't care about her image but couldn't help but care about Atlas's image, she was his wife after all, and if she couldn't dress properly, he would be criticized.
So she borrowed Winifred's makeup box to use.
Daisy didn't think that the jewelry Winifred gave her was real diamonds, the design was very special, just like any other normal jewelry set with a necklace, earrings, and bracelet.
She hesitated a bit and asked: "Are you sure you gave it to me?"
"Um, I don't lack this set either, you are the First Lady but don't have jewelry, it's unbelievable."
Winifred said in a non-committal tone.
Daisy curled the corner of her lips but didn't refute Winifred's words she didn't have any, it was in the dowry and she had already deposited the dowry in the bank, she didn't think there would be a day like this.
"There's no time left, Lisa, help me put it on."
Daisy looked at her watch, feeling a little impatient.
It had been ten minutes since she left the gate, and the driver seemed to be very familiar with this and was very patient, seeing the figure of a woman in a red dress walking out, he immediately went up to greet her: "Are you the president's wife?"
"Yes, Atlas asked you to pick me up?" Daisy looked at the young man in front of her and asked.
"Yes, he is waiting for you at the hotel, please get in the car."
The man spoke very gently.
Daisy nodded and got into the black SUV. The Drkov family was rich, so every time she looked back, it was a different car. She married Atlas, as everyone said, it was a life of luxury, but few people understood that everything had its price.
---
Diamond Hotel.
Atlas arrived five minutes early. He sat in the waiting room, occasionally looking at his watch, frowning and muttering: "Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
He was about to take out his phone to call when someone walked in from outside. This person was the assistant next to Mr. Drkov. He respectfully said, "President, Mr. Drkov asked if you were ready. There are five minutes left until the opening ceremony. He wants you to go to the next room."
"Wait a moment, my wife hasn't arrived yet. When she arrives, we'll go there."
Atlas said coldly.
The assistant hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything, just turned back to report to Mr. Drkov.
Atlas was a little worried, not worried about the party, but worried that Daisy would get into trouble on the way.
Unable to bear it any longer, he took out his phone and called her. At this time, Daisy was also entering the elevator. She felt her bag vibrate slightly, and when she wanted to answer the phone, the phone suddenly turned off. The screen that was on suddenly turned black.
She checked a bit and found that her phone was out of battery. She didn't have time to see who was calling. Daisy sighed. She had been busy with this and that all day and forgot to look at her phone. She didn't expect it to run out of battery.
Upstairs, Atlas heard a few beeps and wanted to call her back, but only heard the operator's voice saying that the line was busy.
This made Atlas even more worried.
"Linus, call the driver to pick up Daisy and ask where she is."
Linus took out his phone to make a call when the door suddenly opened. The person Atlas was waiting for finally appeared in his mind.
Atlas breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes stopped on her, Daisy also saw him looking at her, but not in a way of complimenting or admiring, but in a way of thinking, she couldn't help but wonder if there was anything wrong with her dressing like this, it was obvious that before leaving, Lisa and Winifred had both praised her.
In response to her doubts, Atlas lowered his voice and said, "Come here."
Daisy unconsciously walked step by step towards him, stopped next to a chair, she asked, "Atlas, is there anything wrong with me dressing like this?"
She was originally very calm, but his gaze made her nervous, did this man need to look at her so deeply, making her skin crawl?
"Change another dress." Atlas suddenly said.
"Huh?"
Daisy was a little stunned and asked, "Is this dress not okay?"
Could it be that women and men have different tastes? She wore this dress and was complimented by many women, but Atlas just looked at her and told her to change. Was it that bad? "Um, no, it's too revealing. Change into something more modest." Atlas said frankly. The more he looked, the hotter his eyes became. What if those men saw it? Especially that Dalziel guy who always had his eyes glued to his wife. He couldn't let him see her like this.
