Being White Lotus

Her tricks worked, lady Vanessa had left the meeting Camella smiled at her plan after all, her boss would transfer four million dollars to her bank account by the time she reached the money was transferred.

Benjamin said "let's talk business Vanessa"

lady Vanessa looked at him and became angry she said "this better be good Benjamin else I will drag you to the court for offending me repeatedly, I already have an interested clients in the hotel".

He knows it has to do with camella's plans, and he knows who she's working for but still pretend not to know.

However he became extra alert. He knew that Camella would produce that fake report so on his way back to the office he had ask Betty to find out the right figures about Lady Vanessa's hotel. Betty had worked three hours nonstop and made a report with the exact figures. The report was emailed to him before she went to have lunch as her computer was removed from there to an unknown location so that no one else could get hold of information in it.

Benjamin had called camella and other VP's of the company so that no suspicion is raised he said on purpose to betty about the report which triggered camella to send a message to Rita

Benjamin smiled when he heard lady Vanessa saying that there was an interesting client "is that Mr Federick"

"Yes how do you know? Asked lady Vanessa very surprised.

"Lady Vanessa I'm a business man, I have to know my things well" he said with a wink which made Vanessa laugh.

His revelation impressed betty. The fact that he had asked her to gather data on lady Vanessa, made her excited. It means that he did not trust camella's research. She had researched deeply about the hotel and gave him an excellent report.

"I'm interested in your hotel, so quote me the price" he said.

"You have to answer me first, who was that lady in the morning with a fake report? and why did you trust her? She asked

Benjamin pressed a buzzer and said "send miss camella to my office.

Rita had picked the phone. At this time Camella was the only questioning her about the report on Betty's computer. When she heard that benjamin was calling her, she thought that it was a good chance to know as to what he was talking to betty about. She ran to the office and opened the door with excitement but her excitement faded and her face became pale when she saw lady Vanessa in there.

Lady Vanessa looked at her with narrowed eyes.

Benjamin said "take a seat camella".

Camell sat and waited as she looked nervously from Lady Vanessa to Betty

Lady V here tells me that the report you had showed me this morning was wrong. All the data in there was wrong" he said sternly.

"No Benjamin, those numbers were correct. she said insisting that she was telling the truth. In her head she was thinking how to sabotage the business deal, she had already accepted millions and Mr. federick wouldn't take it kindly.

Benjamin threw report that Betty has made out and yelled; "this is the correct report made by Betty, this report matches with the market analysis".

Camella became pale, she picked the report and read it, she knew that it was the right report. But she put up a harsh face in front of Vanessa and said "Benjamin, you can't possibly say I'm wrong. I am the vice president of the procurement of this company. Lady Vanessa is an old woman who doesn't know how to run her hotel. Her hotel is running into losses, she's an old haggard woman who is only interested in selling it off to the highest bidder while she enjoys good retirement life instead of going behind bars".

Lady Vanessa got up from the sofa, came to Camella and gave her a tight slap on the face. She was shaking in anger..... "how dare you malign my reputation Carmella? Who do you think I am?

Camella caught her face in her hands. She looked in horror at lady V "what was happening?"

Benjamin looked at camella with narrow eyes and then said "be careful of what you speak, don't ever talk to our partners like that".

Camella started crying. She knew that now there was no way out, she said "this file was given to me by Rita, so all the detail in it was printed by her.
