Locke’s expression got better. His boss was apparently the only person who cared about him even though he seed a bit harsh. He could not help but feel moved.
’’You can call him Baldy instead,’’ Ryle continued speaking seriously as he gave her a small strawberry slice to nibble on. After all, she could not even say his small na properly. What if she felt exhausted trying to pronounce such tough words.
’’Bal.. Ballldeee...’’ Angel swayed her calf wantonly on Ryle’s lap as she giggled and said the word that slipped easier from her mouth.
Locke’s face altered between blue and green.
Daisy’s lips twitched as she looked at Ryle and Angel before glancing at the team of guards who were suppressing their laughter and then at Locke who seed weak in his legs as he greeted Ryle and left under the teasing gazes of his fellow teammates.
Why did it seem like the man was bullied by Ryle and Angel?
She had, however, no idea that the reason Locke had shaved his head was because he bet with his friends that she would not know the ’h’ of hacking but she hacked into the surveillance system of her locality in front of their eyes. Being a stubborn man of his words, he had to stick to his words and shave his head even though nobody really expected him to do so.
After breakfast, Ryle told asked her over to his room and Daisy followed him.
’’Get your laptop over, before I leave, I’ll instate the surveillance system of the mansion in it before I leave,’’ the man was holding Angel with one arm while he picked his laptop from the bedside table and placed it on bed.
As he sat and turned it on, he realized that Daisy had not budged an inch from her spot. He glanced at her questioningly.
’’I can take it myself,’’ she said unhurriedly.
Ryle raised an eyebrow as he looked at her, ’’Can you?"
Daisy realized what she said. How could she stay in soone’s house and tell them so effortlessly that she can hack into there surveillance system? ’’I an, if you are getting late, you can go...’’
’’And you can hack into the mansion’s surveillance system?"
’’I...’’
Ryle chuckled softly and closed his laptop, ’’It’s not that I don’t know that you can do it. But it might waste a lot of ti so I made an alternative offer.’’
Daisy’s lips twitched. So, he was not worried that she was going to hack into his surveillance system but that she might spend a lot of ti on it? "Five minutes will do,’’ Actually it would take her even a shorter ti considering she had the owner’s permission to do it. In that way, there would be no defense attacks when she hacked into it, ’’You are late.’’
What she intended to say was that he was already way past his working hours. He should take his leave and if there was need, she could always get access into the surveillance system. But that too, was unnecessary. The people who were guarding the mansion have been extrely cautious during the past week and she knew that with their capabilities, not even a fly would be able to enter the place. Not to ntion that Arkell Hills was a tightly guarded area in the first place.
If so assassin suffered all these ordeals and made it inside the mansion, then it was a question whether he can get past Daisy. After all, it was not everyday that they got an empty mansion to set up their poisonous gas and launch a surprise attack on her. She also wanted to know why they were so desperate to get their hands on her.
To her ’You are late’, she had believed that the man would get a track of ti and get up and leave. But when did Ryle follow the line of her expectations?
He placed Angel on his lap and checked the ti on his watch, ’’I am not.’’
Daisy glanced at the ti again. It was way past 11 am. What did he an by he was not?
’’The rest are early.’’
"_"
It was clearly the attitude of an ancient emperor who said ’I am not late to the royal court. The plebs are early.’
’’The right ti is when I go. Not late,’’ the man clicked his tongue.
In Daisy’s mind, she had another colourful vision of a prodigal emperor lying back on the headrest of the bed, swinging his legs and declaring ’When I open my eyes, it is the day.’
The more she looked at Ryle, the more he and the image in his head started rging.
She shrugged off her bizarre thoughts and looked at him seriously, ’’There is sothing else.’’
’’Hmm?"
She opened her mouth to speak but the man raised his hand to stop her, ’’Take a seat before you speak.’’
’’Mommy, mommy, sit...’’ Angel leaned her head on Ryle’s chest and swayed her calves wilfully as if it was an important eting and she was one of the adults.
Daisy did not know whether to laugh or cry.
But she ignored the adult’s and child’s motioning towards the bed and took a seat on the couch.
Ryle also got up from bed and walked towards the couch to take a seat next to her.
"It is safer here at your place and the situation seems better now. They won’t rashly co here to attack on ,’’ Daisy analyzed the situation, ’’You have stationed most of your elite guards here.’’
’’What are you suggesting?"
Ryle had many special forces of guards. Harper Societies was a top security company but no matter which prestigious family took the services, Ryle did not assign his special forces to them. He had trained separate people for the job of maintaining the image of the security company. But in the private, the man trained a bigger force.
