She rubbed her eyes and recalled what had happened last night. "Nothing... It's probably because I didn't take a nap yesterday." She sat up in bed. "What time is it? Are you going to work now?"
"You overslept so I was worried that you weren’t feeling well."
She shook her head with a smile. "I'm fine... Go to work!"
"Okay. If you didn’t sleep well, you should go back to sleep. Leave work behind for now." He planted a kiss on her forehead. " I'm going now."
She hummed in response and watched as he left the room.
After he was gone, she lay back down in bed. Her head felt dizzy from lack of sleep, but she simply could not go back to sleep.
She picked up her phone, but she was not sure what to do. She wanted to talk but was not sure who she could talk to because it did not seem appropriate to mention what had happened to anyone. After all, Elliot had yet to tell her the truth. One thing she was certain of was that Elliot had developed feelings for his daughter in Ylore.
In Sterling Group, Ben barged into Elliot's office shortly after Elliot's arrival.
"I went home for a shower after my flight and came straight here once I was done." Ben sat down on a chair across from him and tapped his finger on the table. "Buy me coffee and I'll show you photos of your daughter." "When you were drunk at Ruby’s place, she stole your phone and video called me."
Ben stared at Elliot in shock.
"You are so defenseless at a stranger's house that I don't know whether to call you brave or stupid," Elliot said, before calling Chad to ask him to buy coffee for them.
Ben massaged his temples. "Ruby took my phone?! How dare she even chase me out after that?"
"How dare YOU get drunk while drinking with Paul? Do you not know what kind of man he is? I remember telling you about him," Elliot said sharply.
"Doesn't she look a lot like Layla?" Ben unlocked his phone
