Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1762 Looking For An Ally (Part Two)

"Fine! You win!" Edward said. He then picked his phone up as he decided to call someone else to have

dinner with them together. He really didn't want to face Brian alone. He needed people to be around

them just to make sure that he wouldn't be able to do anything bad to him later. He needed some

referee.

Seeing Edward make phone calls, Brian shrugged and didn't stop him. The more the merrier after all.

Moreover, it wasn't him who would pay for the meal.

"Hi, Edward! Why are you calling?" Rain's voice came from the other end of the line. He had been

really busy recently. He was worried about Edward's calls as the latter would always assign tasks to

him.

"Do you want to have dinner with me? I refuse to accept no as an answer." Edward was always bossy

before Rain, and Rain was already used to it.

"Why did you even ask for my opinion if you're not accepting 'no'?" Rain rolled his eyes and dropped

his pen on the table. He still had to eat anyway regardless of how busy he was.

"Hurry up! I'll see you in Westin." After saying that, Edward hung the phone up. He had been planning

to talk to Rain for the past few days. Having him eat dinner with him was like killing two birds with one

stone.

On the other hand, Rain sighed defeatedly upon hearing the call ended. 'He's my boss. What else can I

do?' he thought helplessly before grabbing his coat and car keys.

"Why are you still sitting here? Come with me." Edward grabbed his car keys and walked out of his

office.

"I'm so glad to see your long face. Haha!" provoked Brian. He was intentionally making Edward angry

as he knew that Edward wouldn't dare to take revenge. He had Daisy in his side, thus, he was not

afraid of Edward at all.

"It sounds like you are simply not in your right mind." Edward tried his best to suppress his anger. He

kept telling himself, 'Calm down, Edward. You must not lose your temper. Otherwise, Daisy will get

angrier.' He could still remember how Daisy looked while telling him of what she would do in case

someone bullied her brother.

"How can you say those hurtful words to me? I'll tell Daisy about it." Brian pretended to be hurt by

Edward's words.

"Don't try to anger me, man. I won't buy it." As a reaction, Edward cast a burning glance at Brian before

he opened his car door.

"Oh, no. That's not funny." A cunning smile spread across Brian's face as he opened the door for the

passenger seat.

"Just shut your mouth," said Edward as he got into the driver's seat and ignored his brother-in-law.

That made Brian chuckle as he joined him inside the car.

"Where's your car?" It was too late for Edward to realize what just happened. He turned to Brian in

surprise as he thought that Brian would drive there by himself.

"I don't feel like driving," lied Brian smoothly. He would never admit the fact that he was not that familiar

with the streets of S City at all. He didn't want to lose his way so he chose to ride Edward's car. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Edward opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it back just before he regretted things. 'I

really hope he can shut his mouth on the way, ' he thought to himself.

After a few minutes, they finally reached the restaurant. Rain was already there when they stepped in.

Surprised, Rain ended up looking back and forth between Edward and Brian when they approached.

'Ah, no wonder Edward asked me to have dinner with him, ' he thought.

"Hi, Brian! When did you come back?" Rain greeted Brian. Although he was not familiar with Brian, he

had seen him a couple of times.

"I came last night. I went to Edward as soon as I got back here. He was so ungrateful about it though. It

seems like he doesn't want to see me at all." While speaking, Brian cast a challenging glance at

Edward. He was eager to know his response.

"Really? Edward, I don't think you're right. Brian has been abroad for a long time. How could you be so

cold to him? You should be a welcoming host." Rain would not miss this chance to fight shoulder-to-

shoulder with Brian against their common enemy, Edward the Tyrant!

"Are you here for dinner or stirring up trouble for me?" Edward cast a freezing glance at Rain. How

could this guy betray him? He didn't ask Rain to join him here to be his enemy! Shouldn't Rain be

taking his side?

"Uh. I'm here for dinner." Shrugging his shoulders, Rain decided not to provoke Edward again. He

wasn't considering Brian as a strong back-up after all. Who knew how he would end up with if he

pushed Edward's button more?

"Then shut up and order your dishes." Edward threw two menus before Brian and Rain.

"Okay, okay. I'll zip my mouth." Rain stole a glance at Edward and wondered why he was in a bad

mood today.

"I have a case at hand and I think it fits your CY Technology perfectly. I'll ask Anna to fax you the

details later. If you're interested, just let me know." CY Technology had come through the worst and

was developing slowly. Edward believed that Rain had to seize this opportunity to make a

breakthrough.

"Oh, thank you, Edward. There's no need to bother Anna though. I'll come back with you after we finish

eating." Rain really appreciated Edward's kind offer.

"Sounds good." Edward flashed a cunning smile. He had something else to do in the afternoon. When

Rain arrived at FX International Group, he would ask him to finish his remaining work so that he could

leave the company.

"You look weird, Edward. What are you plotting?" Uncontrolled shivers crawled Rain's arm when he

noticed Edward's smile. 'This doesn't look good, ' he thought.

"Don't be ridiculous." Edward stole a glance at Brian and wondered if he could make Brian his ally.

There would be a bigger chance for Daisy to forgive him if he could get Brian on his side.

"Don't look at me like that, Edward. Just say it." Brian noticed Edward's creepy stare and wondered

why Edward was so strange today.

"Brian, do you think Daisy is a good sister?" inquired Edward all of the sudden. He decided to fawn on

Brian so that he could put in a good word for him before Daisy. He was thinking, 'Men should be able

and flexible.'

"Yes. Of course she is. And I'm also a good brother," said Brian proudly. He wondered what Edward

was going to say and he could tell from his expression that he was plotting something.

"Let me ask you this. Do you want a niece?" Edward asked. He looked really eager to know his reply. It

would be really easy to make Brian his ally if he would agree.

"Why are you asking?" Brian asked confusedly. His gut feeling was telling him that there was a trap for

him.

"Just tell me your answer!" said Edward with a deep frown. 'What a slow brat!' he cursed in his mind.

"Edward, are you saying that you want to have another kid with Daisy?" It was Rain who immediately

got Edward's point. He had been working with Edward for so many years, thus, he knew Edward well

enough.

"That's impossible! Daisy would by no means say yes." Brian turned him down without any hesitation.

"You do know her well." Frustratedly, Edward looked at Brian in dismay as his plan failed.

"Of course! She's my sister!" Brian cast a scornful glance at Edward. It was not even long ago that

Daisy called him to say that she had been really busy recently. He was pretty sure that Daisy would not

consider having another baby in this period.

"I know she's your sister. No one is denying that!" Edward snapped back. 'She's your sister. So what?

She's my wife!' he thought.

"Well, Rain, you know what. Someone is so jealous here that he would cut in whenever I have a talk

with Daisy." Brian rolled his eyes at Edward. He was getting curious about how Edward would look

once his temper burst.

Rain was clever though and chose to remain quiet. He just pretended that he was not here. He got no

plans of involving himself with whatever fight these two got.

"Rain, I heard the new dishes here are pretty good. Why not give them a try?" Edward turned to ask

Rain as if he didn't hear what Brian had said.

"Oh, okay." Secretly, Rain was crying. 'Why do you have to drag me in. I'm really not interested in your

fight. God, please save me.'

Meanwhile, Brian curled his lips and said no more.

Edward didn't enjoy this meal at all. His plan to make Brian his ally failed and he was mad at Brian

because of his attitude.

On the contrary, Rain and Brian had a good meal. As the saying goes, "The enemy of my enemy is my

friend." They ate and talked to each other happily. It was such a good bonding moment for two people

who shared the same nemesis.
