The deceit

"Good morning, ma'am!" Mr Martin waves at Susan as she enters.

"Good morning Martin." She adjusts her dress with haste, trying to be more coordinated than the other days, then a phone call vibrates her bag, and she quickly grabs it. "Hello, Ava!" Her voice lit up with a small smile, pretending like she wasn't bothered earlier when she called. "Long time, no see. How are you doing over there?"

"I'm fine, thanks." Ava continues, "Oh, great! As you know, I'm on a business trip with the boss. We just finished up a meeting with some potential clients. Currently resting for the launch this afternoon. It was a great experience, but I miss you and the rest of the team."

Susan smiles, finding it hard to believe, "I miss you too, Ava." She swallows hard a bitter taste to let go of Ava's words and not think much about it because she knows that Ava intentionally said those words to bitter her and nothing more. "Right? I can't relate. besides, I have never been on any business trip with the boss."
