CHAPTER 1: PINCHED

Mr. James stares intently at the document Daisy sends. He funnily knits his deep brows. But of course, Daisy does not dare to smile, she is aware of the severity of the coming storm, especially since he never hides his animosity towards her.“I need to tell you something, Daisy!”He looks at Daisy distastefully, pushes his glasses up in a condescending manner, and clears his throat.“Mr. Van of New Generation company not only flatly rejected your plan but also said that he felt disrespected when he received such a sketchy plan. Do you know how important New Generation is to our company? Ms. Daisy, I'm not talking about the fact that you have more than 5 years of experience, just in terms of your working attitude, it's worse than a trainee. Do you have anything to explain?”Daisy has always had her hands crossed in front of her stomach, keeping a proper attitude, listening attentively to her superiors reprimanding in front of so many new and old employees in public meetings. Although,

CHAPTER 3: WHEN THE WORLD BETRAYS

Strange land: The Reluctant wife/LAC

Unknowingly or intentionally, the driver opens the melodious music, full of sad love songs. He struggles to switch from one song to another, perhaps he is afraid that the painful lyrics will hurt a girl behind, who had just discovered she had been cheated on by her lover. Daisy softly says:"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it.”The driver smacks his lips and turns off the music.“Miss, about a love story, we can't force it. Meeting each other in this life can be exchanged by hundreds of thousands of glances in the previous life. If fate comes, we stay together. If we run out of debt, then we go apart. You should also gladly accept it. Think about it easily, miss.”Daisy does not answer. These Buddhist philosophies she had heard many times, starting from her parents both died in traffic accidents when she had just graduated from university. As for the love story between a man and a woman, if they knew early that they could not go together till the end of the road, why do they s

- You guys, hold her, make her look up.The two men who had been holding Daisy, once more time come forward to her, following the army general's orders. The young man sitting next to the army general says:- You see, Scorpion Country people have dark skin, black pupils, and black hair.

The Army Deputy General stands aside for Daisy to drink water and wash her face. When Daisy has drained the entire pot of water, he leisurely takes out the document that he had seized from her.- I've researched all day and still can't find the meaning behind these characters. But somehow I believe you don’t relate to this war. Where are you from?Seeing Daisy staring blankly, The Army Deputy General laughs and shows off his regular white teeth. The smile is as warm as the sun. If he cuts his hair more neatly, puts on a suit, and takes care of his face that has been ravaged by the sun and wind in the desert, he will be very handsome, just like…- What's your name? - The Army Deputy General points at Daisy and then points his mouth - What's your name? Do you understand what I mean?- What's your name? Do you understand what I mean?Daisy repeats his words. Her action makes him laugh again:- Your voice is also very good, melodious and elegant like singing. As I think, you're not dumb,

Charlie stares intently at Daisy. Daisy hastily lowers her head to show her respect. Daisy is afraid that she will tremble with fear when she looks at his eyes, which makes him even more suspicious. And if she can't answer his questions smoothly, he will suspects.- General, my family is too poor and has many children. So, my father sold me to a rich man in my village. He is very old and unique. He kept me in the warehouse and tried to set up me as a concubine because he wanted a man, but his wives only had girls.Chris clears his throat:- Daisy, is "son", not "man". Also, is the rich man unique? I think what you mean is evil, which means he is not good. Is it right?Daisy nods vigorously.- Yes, that's right, Mr. Chris, deputy general. Sorry for annoying the general and deputy general with my stupidity.Charlie frowns:- Okay, tell me more.Daisy pretends to sob:- There is a man working for the old man to help me escape.
