MY NAME IS DAISY - NOT A BAD DUCK
26. Not All Like That

David entered the room followed by Jhon.

"Thank you, Jhon. Calling me at that crucial moment" David chuckled.

"Together, Dave. I saw that girl like she wanted to eat you. Very aggressive. Though still young" Jhon chuckled.

John and David have been friends since college in England. Jhon who is experiencing financial difficulties, invited David to help him manage several boutiques in the city of Brown. His family does have several world-renowned boutique brands. Some boutiques 'Gents' brand is specifically for men and some boutiques 'Ladies' brand specifically for women.

"I heard that some girls from the Edoardo family are indeed very arrogant and often do their best" said Jhon.

"Oh yeah? are they all like that?" ask David.

"Because this morning I met one of the other Edoardo girls whose attitude is similar to that of the girl" said David. She remembered Marie whom she met this morning.

But he also later remembered Daisy. He thinks Daisy is very kind, friendly and graceful. Very different from the two Edoardo girls he saw today.

"It's not all that way, Dave" Jhon said.

"There's a girl named Clarissa, she's the sister of a regular customer at our boutique, Cedro Edoardo. He had come to accompany Cedro several times shopping for men's clothes here. She's a very nice girl" Jhon said excitedly.

"Friendly, cheerful and a little tomboyish"Jhon smiled broadly considering Clarissa.

"Hahaha.you must like it. Look at your face when you say his name" David laughed at the look on Jhon's face that looked bright.

"You'd be happy to see a friendly and fun girl like Clarissa" John said. But David is convinced that Jhon is interested in Clarissa.

"Oh yeah, there's another girl from the Edoardo family named Daisy. I met her at our Ladies boutique in Edoardo Luxury Plaza. He was very friendly and polite" Jhon said.

"She's also a very smart girl. At the age of seventeen, he had finished his studies with the best grades at Brown University" said Jhon made David look.

"Daisy Alessio?" ask David to make sure.

"You know him?" Jhon asked back. David nodded.

"Now met twice. Business in Amber. He's the CEO of one of the Edoardo Group's companies" David replied. He doesn't want to show that he's very interested in Daisy.

"Wow at seventeen is already CEO, Dave?" Jhon.

"All I know is that, Mr. Edoardo introduced him to me himself" David replied.

"I saw him on national news coverage by the time he graduated college. She's young and very beautiful. Like a princess" muttered Jhon.

"Fuck, very young. Yet graceful and elegant"tipal David.

"You know what, Dave? he will be performing at the Jack Connor Music Festival" Jhon opens his phone and opens his social media page.

"Look. There goes. Daisy Alessio Edoardo" John showed the festival's advertising page on social media.

"Hhmmhhh he performed at the Jack Connor music festival" David muttered in admiration. He who likes classical music is already planning to see the music concert. But he did not know that one of the performers was Daisy from Benvollio Mansion or Daisy Alessio.

Jack Connor is a famous musician from Lotus country who has been worldwide. He is also a composer, songwriter and record producer. He has a music school and a simphony music group called the Jack Connor Orchestra.

Jack Connor has a good relationship with David's father. Several times when Jack Connor toured in England, his father became his main sponsor.

"Isn't the show in Stella Marine's mega ball room?" David immediately recalled that the event was held in his hotel ball room.

"Rubber, Dave" said Jhon.

"We're watching together, Jhon. I'll get the best seats ready for us. Who knew you'd meet Clarissa Edoardo" David teased John.

Jhon chuckles at it.

"Thank you, Dave" said Jhon.

"Okay, Jhon. We're talking about work now" David opened his laptop and sat in his chair.

"Ready Dave. Please open the email I sent this morning" Jhon sat at David's desk.

They are friendly. But if at work and in front of many people, Jhon always called David as Mr. David. Although David forbade it, Jhon remained so. Unless you're two, Jhon will call him Dave.

They started to get busy with the sales reports of the past month at some boutiques in the town of Brown which is experiencing a very good increase. David is very satisfied with the performance of Jhon so far.

"For Ladies boutiques located in Edoardo Luxury Plaza, I want to have additional stock for some items with very high purchase demand" said David.

"And for the previous edition scarf products, hold a sale. Because in two months there will be a new edition of scarf" continued David.

Jhon recorded it while pointing his thumb.

"OKAY. Noted, Dave" said Jhon.

They are busy with work.

At a luxurious cafe and restaurant owned by Stella Marina, Marie, Cleo and Joane sat in three while enjoying the dishes and beautiful beach views.

"You know not? this morning I met the owner of the Stella Marina hotel here" Marie said proudly.

"Oh my goodness, brother. What's special about that? we often meet with the grandfather of the owner of the Edoardo Luxury group. Which has many hotels, buildings and villas in Lotus country" Joane sneered.

"Ah you, Joane. Obviously special. The owner is very young. Maybe his age is not much different from Maxi's brother. He was also very handsome" Marie's eyes twinkled.

"I don't care about that, Joane. For sure I've fallen for her" Marie clasped her hands on her chest.

Joane shook her head at Marie's behavior.

Cleo listened only to Marie's words and felt that Marie's story had something to do with the man named David who owned the boutique earlier.

He had already found out about the British men's clothing boutique Gents. David Ferguson is the son of hotel founder Stella Marina. David also serves as the CEO of the Stella Marina hotel.

"I'll get it. She must be mine" said Marie, making Cleo grimace.

How could this time he have to compete with Marie. If Marie knew that she wanted David Ferguson too, she could be cut out by Marie. Cleo spoke in her heart.

"You have to help me get it" said Marie, making Cleo grimace.

"Why are you grimacing, Cleo?" ask Joane.

"Aaahh.I'm so hungry. Because I haven't eaten in the morning. So it feels like my stomach hurts" Cleo replied lying.

"Let's eat. No one is banning you from eating. You yourself are looking for trouble with your stomach" Marie looked at Cleo.

"You're slim, you don't need a diet of all sorts. Later even torture yourself" said Marie again.

"Huh 'cause he's happy that I'm fat. So that she may be the most beautiful" Cleo wrote in her heart.

"Eat that much Cleo" Marie placed four large shrimp on Cleo's plate.

Cleo's eyes widened to see the four large shrimp.

Marie glared, forcing her to eat.

"Okay, I'll spend it" Cleo smiled. Forced.

"Later I have to drink slimming tea immediately" Cleo thought.

While Marie only ate vegetable salads with a mixture of olive oil. All the dishes on the table had to be spent by Joane and Cleo. The one who ordered all the dishes was Marie.

Cleo had just ordered her favorite grilled salmon and vegetable salad.

Why now he had to eat all the food at the table.

'Who is the owner of this hotel?" cleo pretended not to know.

"Look. Very handsome, isn't it?" Marie showed me a picture on her phone.

An article on the Internet about David Ferguson.

Cleo almost choked.

"David Ferguson, her name" Marie said with great enthusiasm.

"Did he not have a wife or a future wife?" ask Joane.

"Hopefully not yet, Joane" said Cleo unconsciously.

"Hey, don't let the two of you be interested in him. She's mine. Remember that" Marie stared cynically at Cleo and Joane.

"How can Brother admit that he belongs to brother. Even the older brother had only met once and accidentally too" Joane snorted.

"Whoever can get it. It could have been that Brother wasn't the type of woman he dreamed of" Joane chuckled.

"It's possible that her taste is that of a girl like me or Cleo" continued Joane, she doesn't care about Marie's irritated gaze.

"Joane. Don't ruin my mood again. Today I just want to have fun" Marie glared at Joane who was still chuckling.

Marie tries to cheer herself up as a result of being upset with Daisy who turns out to be performing at a music festival. Right now he doesn't want to remember that. Simply by hoping to see David Ferguson again, he was happy.

"Come, Brother. We're competing healthy to get it" Joane ate a piece of shrimp.

"I agree with Joan. Because I also met David Ferguson at the Gents boutique" Cleo finally opened her voice. He couldn't bear to let Marie just get David.

Marie and Joane looked at him in disbelief.

Cleo raised a shopping bag containing a shirt from boutique Gents.

"So I was buying a shirt for Zayn over there. And I met David. He even helped me find the right size. He's the owner of the boutique" Cleo replied casually managed to get Marie to stop her salad feed.

"This is making me feel no appetite" Marie snorted in annoyance.

"Come, Marie. We both have a chance to get it. As Joane said, let's compete healthily" said Cleo. He no longer felt afraid because Joane's idea helped him so much.

Marie sighed.

"Okay, I agree. We're competing to get it" Marie said. He looked at Joane and Cleo.

"Okeee, I'm ready to compete" Joane nodded.

"I'm ready too" Cleo smiled happily
