Deceiving Daisy

Las Vegas, US.

Inside the VIP suite of a hotel, Benjamin knocked on the door.

"Come in,'' Ryle's voice sounded faint because of the distance. 

Benjamin waited for a moment before pushed open the door and stepped inside. 

Ryle sat on the bed, drying his hair with a towel while his gaze remained fixed on an email on his laptop.

Benjamin opened his mouth to push his agenda but then he closed it, not knowing how to do it. 

''What is it?" Ryle asked without looking in his direction. 

"Boss, I... I can't..." Benjamin was almost in tears as he pointed to the phone in his hand. "Miss Chen is very perceptive. She almost caught on to the fact that I was lying. I cannot do this anymore."

Ryle averted his gaze when he heard Daisy's name. "Did she call?" His lips faintly curved up, the dark circles under his eyes seemed to fade a bit as his dull eyes brightened the moment Benjamin nodded.
