Benjamin shook his head and went downstairs to talk to Daisy.

“Give Ms. Louise something to sober up with. She’s rambling on like a drunkard.”

Daisy chuckled. “Mr. Benjamin, you should’ve seen the way Ms. Louise had Adam fooled. It was awesome!”

With a frown, Benjamin uttered, “Don’t underestimate him. Adam is a ruthless man. You can fool him once, but you must update me with anything related to Ms. Louise. Don’t let her take risks. Just because she’s mischievous doesn’t mean you should keep up
