The Devil's Secretary

Chapter 110: An amusing beautiful butterfly

However, today, the room was lit up.

A faint anticipation built up in Daisy’s heart as she walked towards the room and raised her hand to knock on the door.

’’Come in.’’

That familiar voice made her pause in her tracks for a few seconds.

The glass door parted open and Daisy recovered from her daze before stepping inside the room.

She spotted Ryle leaning on the headboard of the bed. The man was wearing his glasses and focusing on the book in his hand.

"What is it?" Ryle did not raise his head assuming it to be one of his bodyguards.

However, as the silence stretched, he raised his head and he was greeted with Daisy’s face as she stood at a distance, seemingly observing him.

’’You are back,’’ she hurriedly remarked when their gazes met.

Ryle observed the woman quietly. It has been slightly over a week and she seemed to be thinner than the last time.

It was night time so Daisy was dressed in a satin night suit that outlined her curves, her long hair fell all over her body like a drapery and made her stature seem even smaller.

A frown settled between his brows.

Daisy misinterpreted his gaze. He perhaps did not want to see her for some time after what happened between them. She cleared her throat, ’’I was passing by and saw the light in this room so I was surprised. It seems like you are taking rest. I’ll...’’

"Come here,’’ Ryle stretched his hand towards her.

Daisy glanced at his outstretched hand and then at the man before she hesitated for a moment and walked towards him. She placed her hand in his.

Ryle placed the book on his right hand on the bedside table and removed his glasses before tugging her to the bed.

Daisy almost lost her balance and fell on him but due to her fast reflexes, she managed to dodge his body and change her position such that she was sitting next to him.

"Have you not been well these past few days?"

’’I am good,’’ In fact, before this, Daisy’s life had been so busy with things occupying her time that she barely got time for herself. It was for the first time in a long while that she got some time off where she did not have places to be or things to do. She could stay at home, spend time with Angel or just be idle without having to do anything.

Although the assassination attempts have been bugging her mind but still she could not have been better than she was at the moment.

Ryle observed her face and he knew that, she meant her words, ’’How about Angel? Has she been liking it here?"

’’Very much,’’ Angel, unlike her mother, was a social butterfly. She fluttered her wings everywhere in her vicinity.

’’Even you neighbours wave at her when they pass by.’’

Ryle chuckled. It was nothing unexpected coming from the little doll. She had the presence that could make one lower their guards and want to pamper her.

Daisy looked at the man who was still holding her palm in his, ’’I thought you were ignoring me,’’ she was a very straightforward person. As long as she got a grasp of what bothered her, she had no issues voicing it out.

’’Ignore you?" Ryle seemed startled.

"After the conversation we had last time...’’ Daisy responded calmly, ’’I had texted you a week ago when the people came over to renovate the rooms.’’

Ryle’s brows tugged together, ’’My phone broke so I must have missed your message. As for our conversation, there is nothing for me to be angry about. I agree with you.’’

’’You... agree?" Daisy was surprised.

Ryle smiled at her.

And the smile was so bedazzling that it held her gaze. She could not help but realize how gorgeous the man was.

Daisy wondered why she thought he was up to some treachery when he smiled before. Was it because she did not see it as closely as she was doing now?

’’Of course, I agree. It is natural for men and women to be attracted to each other. That’s how the primal instincts of human beings works...’’ freeweɓnøvel.com

Except my attraction stands for you only. My dick refuses to react to any other woman and my primal instincts kicks in only when I see you.

His smile turned wider as he continued, ’’As for you and me, like you said, we both don’t know what we want from each other so it’s better not to get confused.’’

I will take my own sweet time figuring all of the things that I want from you.

Unfortunately for Daisy, she could not hear his inner voice.

Daisy fell silent when she heard his words.

She lowered her head, her expressions thoughtful and brows slightly furrowed.

’’Why? Are you not pleased with my enlightenment?" the man questioned.

Daisy realized that this is all what she wanted in the first place. She looked up at him and nodded, ’’I am happy that you considered the bigger picture. Let’s be friends and cooperate in this matter to locate the culprits.’’

’’Sure, I will cooperate very well with you,’’ Ryle stroked her hand and raised it to his mouth before placing a chaste kiss on the back of her palm.

A burst of heat erupted in the spot where the man had kissed and it trailed all the way to Daisy’s face until her cheeks turned pink, ’’You...’’

Ryle’s eyes widened. The man seemed to be mildly surprised, ’’Was that not allowed? I thought we were friends so I treated it as a seal of friendship.’’

Daisy felt like there was something wrong with his words but she could not figure out what it was.

Had she not been a blank canvas in the affairs of men and women, she would have realized that no man in the world went around pressing his mouth on a woman’s hand as a seal of friendship or whatever. It was just an excuse. Just a very bejewelled one at that so she could find any flaws.

If she did, it would seem like she was affected by his touch.

Ryle had found himself an amusing beautiful butterfly.

He would be a fool to let it fly away from him.
