566 - BELIE

LEonard was In a posh restaurant with some work colleagues. His host had chosen the food for them all. All was going well until one of his mouthfuls contained a whole chile pepper. His mouth was on fire, but his expression was one of calm and joviality. Somehow he was able to belie the distress he felt and he was thankful when the discomfort calmed down. His host had noticed the chile and was impressed at Leonard's handling of it. It contributed favourably in Leonard's favour in the business deal struck the next day.
