Friend or Enemy

The next morning in a room of a high-end club, two figures were sleeping under the sheets. The ringtone of a phone broke the silence and an irritated groan was heard, followed by a hand that tried to find the phone to shut it.

Unable to locate the phone, Tracy sat up with a curse and picked up the phone that was lying on the floor. She was about to hang it when she saw the caller ID and she picked it up. After all , she was really desperate to find about the woman from yesterday and it was the call of the person she asked for investigating the details of the woman.

"What did you find out?" Tracy said in a hoarse voice. The eagerness was clearly visible in her voice.

"Her name is Sophia Miller and she is the only daughter of the Miller family from City A. We couldn't find any details about her involvement with Mr. Daniel Rodriguez. They have never known each other in the past as per our investigation. She is the owner of an IT company she runs with one more partner of hers." The person on the other hand spoke in a monotonous tone and passed her the details that they found about her.

Sophia could have easily blocked her family information but she didn't because she was confident that their foundation isn't so weak that a mere Tracy could shake them. Sophia was sure that Tracy wouldn't go after her family, rather she would come after her and her company if she has the brains.

"Anything else? What about after Daniel arrived in the States? How many times have they met?" Tracy was confident with her guess that they had no official relationship but it's more likely Daniel hooking up with Sophia. But she wanted to know how often they met usually so that she could device her future plans.

"I don't think they have before yesterday. We couldn't find anything on that ." The person again said without any emotions. He was internally thinking that something was off because the information gathering seemed too easy but he brushed off his thoughts with the assumption that since Daniel wasn't involved with the woman so he didn't block his attack on her data.

"Alright. You will get your payment as usual. But keep an eye and let me know if you get anything more." Tracy finished her words before hanging up. She pulled the blanket, wrapping it around herself. The other person on the bed opened his eyes and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"You can leave. I don't want to see you again. Your payment is in the card lying on the table." Tracy spoke without looking at him and gestured towards the card she threw earlier.

"There are fifty thousand dollars in it. Take it and get lost before I come out of the washroom." Tracy walked towards the washroom while speaking and slammed the door shut. The man was fully awake by now and he didn't mind her behaviour as he knew how arrogant these spoiled rich brats can be. He slipped inside his clothes that were lying around and left after picking up the card from the table.

When he moved out of the club, he took out his phone and texted the words that he heard earlier from her phone conversation. He heard what the other person said as he was lying there only and Tracy didn't hide her conversation. He was arranged by someone who works for Margret.

Margret knows about Tracy really well and she wanted the information without coming in the light. She wasn't going to expose herself in front of Daniel and thus this all planning. Tracy was totally oblivious to the fact that her so called friend played her like a toy.

After texting the details he had, he received a payment in his account and he left happily. Meanwhile, Margret got the information and sneered reading. She didn't see Sophia as a threat at all. So, she would leave this matter to Tracy to deal with it. She herself would wait for her uncle's return before asking him for help.

Margret wanted to reap the benefits without coming in Daniel's radar. And she found the perfect scapegoat for it who was ready to get slaughtered without her doing anything.

….

In the meantime, Sophia and Daniel were sound asleep In each other's arms. Daniel woke up and his eyes lashes fluttering a little before he woke up completely. He looked at the face that was nuzzling in the crook of his neck. Daniel slowly pecked the Sophia's side face and hugged her closer to himself.

Sophia woke up feeling his movements.

"Good morning beautiful." Daniel murmured against her shoulder blades.

"Good morning." Sophia wished him back and pecked his right cheek softly. They stayed in same position for a minute, enjoying the tranquillity of the moment before Daniel loosened his hold around her and let her go.

"It's still early. You can sleep a little if you want." Daniel said looking at the time while getting down from the bed. It was around 7:00 am in the morning.

"Umm." Sophia hummed and Daniel left for the gym after caressing her head with a smile. She looked like a lazy kitten with her hairs scattered and sleepy eyes.

Daniel entered his home gym and started with the warming up before going on with his exercise routine. He hit the gym for half an hour before coming to the bedroom to take a shower. Sophia was already up and was getting ready for the day.

Sophia didn't sleep till long after he left. She soon woke up and went to freshen up. She was soon done with her morning routine and walked inside the closet to get the outfit for the day while wearing the bathrobe.

After slipping into the outfit she chose, she started drying her hair and styling them. She heard the door open and her eyes found Daniel walk in through the door. His hair damp, bare chest and the sweat trickling down his perfect body was a sight to look at.
