Of course, it did not mean that they have to be very handsome or comely, but it must be a seemingly comfortable appearance that would arouse the desire to get in contact with each other, let alone Irish was such a beauty that would make people unforgetful while shedding a first glance at her. This was the first time Daisy worried about Joseph and Irish's relationship and that one day, they might fall apart after several trials come their way. She saw how well-matched this couple was.
The temperature had gone up, so Irish didn't wear much, and she was dressed in a cream-colored loose shirt with a small gold button revealing a stylish feel and pale blue trousers, which color was well matched with this season. She wore a pair of high-heeled shoes, and the sun poured on her bare instep, which looked as white as porcelain. Daisy could even see the capillary vessel on her instep. However, though she was dressed appropriately, she looked melancholy.
"Daisy, thanks a lot. I never expected that you would come." After sitting there for a long while, Irish said softly to her with a faint smile while there was the light flickering in the deep of her eyes.
Daisy felt if Joseph was there, he might be depressed since her voice sounded so tired. She believed that Joseph would feel sore if he was there. And it was at this moment that Daisy suddenly realized that he was an arrogant man, and he would definitely not admit he had made a compromise in their relationship because he had used to be a stubborn and ruthless man in the business world. Therefore, he decided not to face Irish since he was afraid that he would compromise again upon seeing her.
"I am just passing on a message," Daisy replied briefly since she knew that Irish could understand her.
Hearing this, Irish lowered her head with her white neck exposed under the sunlight. She felt that the warmth of the noon was spreading from her neck down to her heart and drove the coldness away that had occupied a few days ago. In the deep of her heart, there was a seedling growing quickly, which brought her expectation.
"Is he alright?" She really missed him, especially now.
"No," Daisy replied directly.
Irish was shocked by her words and looked up at her, with her hair swiping from her cheeks just as the cold wind was blowing from her heart. "What's wrong with him?"
Daisy shook her head helplessly since she knew they both cared for each other, but they were just so stubborn and reluctant to take the initiative to express their emotions frankly.
"He works so crazily these days, and you also knew that he was a workaholic, and now the situation is getting worse than that since he doesn't even care about his health."
It was the first time for Irish to hear Daisy complaining in front of her since she was so conscientious and tentative about her work. But now she just complained about the heavy work before her. Irish realized that perhaps Joseph had pushed them too hard.
However, she felt sorrowful after hearing this, and she remembered that he looked thinner when she met him in the restaurant a few days ago. Irish frowned slightly, and she suddenly felt as if a knife was being stabbed inside her heart.
"I have heard about Cassie's current situation. Irish, can I share my innermost thoughts and feelings about this situation?"
Irish turned to her and nodded.
"Though Runestone Group had strict selection criteria, there wasn't an assessment for the staff to be a full member of the company. You also knew that passing the probationary period means they should be qualified since they had experienced all kinds of examinations before entering Runestone Group.
Irish drew back her eyes, and her heart beat so quickly.
"You are also aware of Cassie's condition since you're a psychologist, and so does Mr. Dover. According to the company's practice, Cassie is disqualified because of her poor mental state. However, Mr. Dover still decided to give her a chance and is about to give her an assessment to see if she is competent for this work." Speaking of this, Daisy smiled and then added, "For a boss who just focuses on the result of work, Mr. Dover has broken so many rules."
Irish's breath turned rapid, and the unnamed emotion rose from the deep of her heart gradually. She knew that it was unnecessary for Daisy to speak for him since she was also a decisive woman. She licked her lips and then said with feelings, "In fact, it is my fault. I shouldn't make a requirement for him in accordance with my criteria. I know he is trapped in this dilemma because of my stubborn behavior."
"But it is not a bad thing. I think Mr. Dover is also doing introspection." Daisy said calmly while Irish was confused about her words.
Daisy smiled again, saying, "Mr. Dover asked me a question that day."
"What is the question?"
"He asked me if he is too serious."
Irish was surprised.
"You are also shocked, aren't you? I am even more astonished like you, after all, he has never asked me such a personal question."
"I want to know your answer."
Daisy laughed and said, "I said to him that he is so serious, and he asked everyone to be as serious as him."
Irish didn't expect that she would say this, and after being surprised for a few seconds, she also smiled.
Their distance seemed to be getting closer because of this topic, while Irish suddenly realized that she was also a woman who was talented and capable of persuading her boss.
After a long while, Daisy harked back to the topic and said sincerely, "Irish, in fact, I think Mr. Dover wanted to take a bet on the matter about Cassie."
Irish looked at her silently and waited for her to continue.
"He was a rational man, and sometimes he wouldn't play the card according to his common sense, which is understandable since he is the leader of Runestone Group and he has to manage several thousand employees. He has to be responsible to the board of directors, so he couldn't make a minor mistake which means he shouldn't act impetuously." Daisy looked at the flying leaves in the air and said slowly, "But I think he wanted to trust you this time, so he decided to give Cassie another chance."
