Kian maintained a polite smile, knowing it was not possible to take Daisy directly to Simpson Group. He
softly explained, "Miss Daisy, it is customary in our country for guests who have traveled a long way to
rest and freshen up before meeting. The journey can be exhausting, and you need proper rest. You
represent Tillery Group in Hance City, and there will be plenty of opportunities to visit Simpson Group,
so there is no rush."
Although Daisy was somewhat reluctant, she eventually nodded in agreement. Kian sighed in relief,
knowing that if he had taken Daisy directly to Simpson Group, Ayan might have had him waiting on the
building for disposal.
After dropping off Daisy at the hotel, her itinerary was kept confidential. The Tillery Group was
concerned about Daisy's safety, given their influence abroad and the enemies they had made over the
years. Therefore, Daisy's schedule was kept secret.
Upon reaching the hotel, check-in had been arranged in advance. Hence, Kian and the female
assistant accompanied Daisy directly to her room. Daisy had brought along two attendants, a secretary,
and a bodyguard, but none of them spoke Mandarin fluently. Kian took the initiative to introduce Mona,
the assistant, saying, "Miss Daisy, Mona will be by your side during your stay in Hance City. It is best to
have her accompany you on your outings as she is familiar with the city and can ensure your safety."
Daisy did not refuse, just giving Mona a brief glance. After settling in the room, Kian promptly told
Daisy, "Rest first. If you need to go out, let Mona guide you." Daisy nodded, unfamiliar with the local
time and asked, "When can I meet Ayan?"
Mona, who had been listening since they got into the car, raised several speculative thoughts hearing
Daisy call Ayan by his first name. However, as Ayan was their boss, she suppressed her curiosity.
Kian replied nonchalantly, "Rest for now. A driver will pick you up in the evening. The specific time
depends on Mr. Simpson's schedule." Disappointed, Daisy nodded, refraining from insisting on meeting
Ayan immediately.
After bidding farewell, Kian left the hotel room with Mona. He instructed her, "Your main task for the
next few days is to accompany Daisy wherever she goes, act as a translator, and report the details
directly to me."
Mona agreed but hesitated, showing signs of wanting to say something but holding back. Noticing her
subtle change in expression, Kian asked, "What's on your mind?"
"Mr. Reid, what is the relationship between Miss Daisy and Mr. Simpson? Why does she keep calling
him Ayan? Isn't that a bit too familiar? Mrs. Simpson wouldn't be pleased if she knew," Mona expressed
a hint of displeasure. She had worked alongside Ayan's wife, Camille, and had a positive impression of
her, so she was inclined to support their relationship.
As if part of a ship's crew, she wasn't pleased with external interference in their relationship. Kian
hesitated briefly before whispering, "Don't speak out of turn. Miss Daisy is just a representative of
Tillery Group. She will be having dinner with Mrs. Simpson this evening. How she addresses Mr.
Simpson is her own business. Just focus on your job and report to me promptly!"
Mona nodded in agreement, and after watching Kian leave, she entered the room. Daisy's bodyguard
and secretary were packing, with three of the four suitcases belonging to Daisy alone. Sitting on the
couch, Daisy caught Mona's eyes fixed on her diamond-laden nails.
In a low tone, Mona asked, "Miss Daisy, would you like to rest now? If so, I'll return to my room
opposite yours. You can call me or knock on my door for anything." Daisy raised her head and
instantaneously recalled something, saying, "You're Mona, the assistant, right?"
"Yes, that's correct," Mona replied. Daisy then asked, "Is Ayan at the company now?" Mona's
expression stiffened, and she responded, "Yes, Mr. Simpson is handling work matters."
"How is his relationship with his wife? Is it bad?" Daisy inquired further. Mona wanted to say otherwise
but abided by Kian's instructions, stating, "I'm sorry, Miss Daisy, but that is Mr. Simpson's private
matter. As an assistant, I have no authority to inquire or speculate."
Not giving up, Daisy summoned her secretary and passed a subtle signal. The secretary fetched an
exquisite gift box from Daisy's luggage and handed it to Mona. Surprised, Mona asked, "Miss Daisy,
what's this for?"
"This is a gift for you, thanking you for accompanying me during my stay in Hance City. Please accept Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
it. It's not something expensive," Daisy insisted. Mona shook her head and explained, "Miss Daisy,
thank you for your kindness, but we have rules against accepting gifts. I hope you understand."
Mona felt uncomfortable and said, "Miss Daisy, you're too kind. This is something I should do, and
there is no need for gifts."
"I want to be friends with you. Isn't that reason enough? Please don't refuse me; otherwise, I will be
genuinely upset," Daisy concluded.
Glancing at the time, Daisy suggested, "How about in two hours?" Mona agreed and left the room.
Later, Daisy's secretary asked, "Miss Daisy, is it worth giving your bracelet to an assistant?"
