"I know you well enough to know one thing. You won't stand by and watch someone drooling over the woman you love. You must have warned him, am I right?"
A steamroller, that was how Leena saw Edward. So it was easy for Leena to guess what he did.
"You know me too well. I've been taking care of you all this time, and it clearly paid off. Let me think, what can I give you as a reward? You're very clever." Edward laughed. Leena saw right through him. But he was not embarrassed at all by her words. He did whatever he wanted and never cared what people thought.
"Did you forget? I'm a fox, the one and only fox. I know every trick you play, " Leena said, making a funny face at him. Edward looked at her and let out a loud laugh. And come to think of it, she had a point there and that was what made her so special. That was what made everyone like her so much.
