It'll Come Naturally

"Yes. It is none other but me. Who else would break into your office when you're in a bad mood? Anyone else who would do that must be fearless of death." Leena went behind him and put her arms around his neck. She pressed her chin against his shoulder and acted like a spoiled child. "I know that you are the only one who would do that. Why are your hands so cold?" A frown got into Edward's face as he thought, 'Is this girl still so weak?'

"Cold? I don't think my hands are cold." In reaction to what he said, Leena put her hands on Edward's face and then laughed.

"Don't you think? Your hands are about as cold as the ice cellar." The man shrugged at Leena's gesture but chose not to pull away. Instead, he cocked his head and waited for her to say what she came here for. He was sure that Leena didn't come to his place just because she missed him.

"Ha-ha! Maybe it's because I just came in from the outside." Leena took her hands off Edward's face. With a shy smile, she took a few steps forward and sat down on the desk.

"You know that it is cold. Why didn't you wear something thicker? Don't you know that you're not in good health? You always worry me." Tentatively, Edward touched Leena's pretty face and sighed a bit. Her face was as cold as he had thought.

"I'm wearing a lot of clothes. It is just that today's temperature is too low and that's why my face is cold." Leena was aware of how much Edward cared for her. Nonetheless, she still had to argue with him from time to time to defend herself. "Are you blaming the temperature?" Edward shook his head and made a phone call. "Anna, bring me a cup of hot coffee."

"I heard that you are one of the sponsors of the Dream City's fashion design competition. Is that true?" Leena asked nervously as she didn't dare to look Edward in the eyes. She had just found out about it. Thus, she had come to see him in such a hurry.

"Yes, but I'm afraid that you might have to ask the entertainment company if you want to know more. Why are you asking in the first place? Do you want to see the competition too? I heard that it will start tomorrow night. Do you have time to attend?" It was only then that Edward realized that he had forgotten Leena's major. However, the registration was closed six months ago. Although he could use his right to let her participate in the competition, he was afraid that she would not be able to finish her entry in time. Moreover, he didn't think that Leena would be interested in this kind of competition. She had already achieved so many things. Thus, this would be a downgrade if ever.

"I don't want to participate in this competition. I just want to know which hotel the judges will stay in," said Leena softly. The schedules of the judges were arranged by the organizers and Bella did not know which hotel she would be staying in.

"Why are you asking that? Do you know these judges?" Curiosity was written on Edward's face when he asked. He was wondering why Leena needed such information.

"Yes! My French mentor, Bella, is one of the judges. It is the reason why I want to know which hotel she will be staying in advance." Leena looked at Edward in a calculating manner. She got no clue about which company invited Bella to come over before. She didn't expect FX International Group to do that.

"Oh. I see. I'll call and ask." Edward began dialing on his phone as he spoke. The entertainment company was run by Rain. He rarely got himself involved in this part of the business. Thus, he didn't know much about the coming competition.

"Thank you, Edward." As soon as Leena finished speaking, she kissed Edward's handsome face and then happily looked at the lipstick she had left on his face.

As a reaction, Edward frowned and thought, 'This girl is playing a trick on me again. I'm screwed once Daisy sees this lipstick.' The idea of what was about to happen made him unhappy with what Leena did. However, he couldn't say a thing to Leena since he was on the phone.

"Are you trying to make Daisy kick me out tonight?" Edward shook his head resignedly as he hung the phone up.

"She won't be mad at you if you tell her it's my lipstick." With a smile, Leena teased him even more and didn't even show any intention to wipe off the lipstick she left on his face.

"Do you think that she will believe me? Don't forget that Daisy knows about what I've done before." Edward glared at her angrily as he silently thought, 'This girl doesn't usually wear makeup. Why is she wearing makeup now? Did she do it on purpose?' "That's none of my business! That's how karma goes. You have to pay for what you did before." Leena gave Edward a confrontational wink and thought, 'Am I that evil? Hold on! Did I do this on purpose to destroy their relationship? Whoops!'

"Well, I see. It seems like you don't really want to know which hotel Bella is staying at, huh?" A menacing smile showed on Edward's face as he thought, 'You are trying to tease me? How could I let you get away with that?"

"No, no, no! I want to know, Edward. Tell me where Bella lives." Leena immediately turned anxious about what Edward said. She wouldn't come this far if she didn't want to know, right?

"Think about it. Which hotel will we choose since it is our company that sponsored this competition?" Edward grinned. 'My employees are smart enough to make money for my company without my orders,' he thought.

"Oh! I see. Kate Hotel! What's Bella's room number? Do you know?" asked Leena happily and thought, 'If that's the case, then I could surprise Bella by suddenly showing up before her!'

"She's in the presidential suite. The room number is 818. Bella seems to be a big shot." Another smile came from Edward as he thought, 'Only big shot people can live in the presidential suite.'

"You bet! She usually won't take part in such a small competition unless she has something to do with it." Leena was not sure if Bella was here because of her. However, she was pretty certain that the reason why Bella did so must have something to do with her.
