The moment Theo opened the door, Miles was already there, standing beside the room service cart, contained the food Daisy had requested earlier.
Their eyes met.
"Sir," Miles said, his eyes widening slightly and almost smiling, when suddenly Theo tilted his head and gave a slow blink.
"Ahem, madam's food is here," he added quickly, regaining his composure.
"Thanks, Miles. You can go… rest now." Theo gave him a light pat on the back, then subtly glanced over his shoulder, checking to make sure Daisy wasn't watching them too closely. Satisfied, he turned his head slightly to the right, where Marla stood silently. "You too, Marla."
"Yes, sir," they both responded in unison, politely excusing themselves.
But just as they turned, Theo stepped out of the room a little more and added in a low voice, "Reschedule all my meetings to the day after tomorrow… and keep acting like you did before. No changes."
