During dinner at 5.30PM, Victor attentively provided utensils and drinks to Maya and Luna. Luna leaned back in her chair and enjoyed Victor’s personal service. After he was done and sat at the dining table, she asked, “What’s up with you inviting my assistant? Is there anything important?”
“Oh, it’s not something worth discussing right now. Let’s eat first,” he replied mysteriously.
Luna did not press for further details, and the others at the table remained silent, quietly listening to the conversation.
After dinner, when Maya and Luna left, Nina, Selena, and Damian exchanged glances before they broke into meaningful smiles.
At 7.00PM, Maya could no longer tolerate Victor’s continuous messages urging her to come. She had no choice but to head over to the garden for their appointment.
Luna noticed that Maya’s cheeks were a bit flushed, and she appeared somewhat fatigued. She stood up and said, “Let me go on your behalf. He probably helped you to buy medicine for you.”
Maya glanced at her and asked, “You already knew?”
“Of course. Your leg seems more serious today, and anyone can see that too, right? I thought Julian, who likes to observe from the shadows, would bring you the medicine. It turns out I was wrong,” Luna replied with a huff.
“Why didn’t you bring the medicine for me then?” Maya asked playfully.
Luna stood by the door with a somewhat mischievous smile. “If I had done so, how could I have allowed someone else to be attentive to you?”
Maya wrinkled her nose but remained silent. She had underestimated Julian, so if he discovered that Victor had brought her medication, he would probably kick Victor out of the production team without any hesitation. He wouldn’t even get a glimpse of the supposed scene of jealousy.
However, now that Luna went to get the medicine, it could be seen as helping Victor, saving him from unnecessary trouble.
After Luna left, Maya began to feel that her mouth was dry, and her body temperature was rising. She reached up to adjust her clothes.
When Luna arrived at the designated location, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her tightly.
Luna was startled and turned around to slap the person several times until they retreated.
When she saw that it was Victor, she quickly surveyed her surroundings and then approached him to grab him by his collar with a fierce look. “You are resorting to such despicable means? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
Victor’s face reddened, and he was breathing heavily. In his eyes, there was nothing but primitive desire.
Luna was disgusted and forcefully kicked his leg. She was wearing high heels, and her kick made Victor groan as he fell to the ground.
“Who do you think you are by trying this on me? When I’m tearing people apart in the business world, you’re still clueless about where you are!” She stepped on his chest, her face filled with anger.
He struggled to breathe, so the pain in his leg temporarily restored some of his sanity. He weakly croaked, “Today… the water we drank… There’s an issue… Don’t worry about me…”
She lowered her gaze to him as her anger diminished.
“Miss Quinn… Check on Miss Quinn…” he continued saying.
After realizing something was wrong, Maya returned to her room and took a cold shower, but it did not help. Instead, when the effects of the aphrodisiac kicked in, she collapsed in the bathroom, completely powerless. She reached the sink with great difficulty and picked up her phone.
She struggled to unlock her device several times before succeeding.
Her consciousness was fading due to her body’s overwhelming desire, and she did not even know if her call was really made to Luna.
“Is there something wrong?” Julian’s voice in the phone call remained calm as he asked Maya.
Maya heard someone speaking but couldn’t tell if it was Luna. She bit her lip as she sat on the floor and replied while struggling to breathe, “I-Is this Luna?”
Julian sensed that there was something wrong, and his expression turned cold. “What’s wrong with you?”
Her head was buzzing, and she answered his question. “I think… I am down with something. Please come back… I’m scared… I have no strength…”
His expression darkened even more. “I’ll be right there. Don’t hang up.”
After hanging up, he quickly returned to his place, worried about Maya’s condition.
She had no strength whatsoever, and her body felt like it was being torn apart.
Julian hung up the phone, and, in less than two minutes, he entered Maya’s room. Soon, he opened the bathroom door and saw her completely soaked on the floor. Her clothes were in disarray as they clung to her body.
“What did you eat?” Julian walked up to her and carried her.
Maya smelled the fragrance on him and reached out to grab his tie. Her eyes were filled with tears as she whined, “I feel terrible… Luna.”
He held her pale, delicate hand as his gaze turned stern. “I’m not Luna. I’m Julian.”
Struggling to see Julian’s face clearly, Maya became anxious because she couldn’t focus. Her voice trembled as she replied, “Julian, I feel uncomfortable… Please help me.”
Being a normal man, Julian was well aware of Maya’s current condition, so he kissed her to ease her discomfort.
The knocking on the door outside continued incessantly, but he pretended not to hear it while she was unaware.
Luna was on the verge of banging the door down when Cameron stopped her.
“You…” She was about to scold someone when she noticed it was Cameron and instantly swallowed back the foul words she had in mind.
“Miss Smith, Mr. Graham is inside,” Cameron informed Luna politely.
Luna felt relieved and turned toward the direction of the elevator. As she walked, she called Kevin. “The drinks that she and Victor had were spiked. I hope you can thoroughly investigate and discover who the f*ck is behind this dirty trick!”
Meanwhile, inside the room, Maya was held by Julian under the rain. She felt weak all over and clung tightly to him.
He noticed that the drugs in her system were potent since she was never as proactive and passionate as she was tonight.
The two of them moved from the bathroom to the bed, with Julian carefully holding Maya, whose legs had turned into jelly.
Then, time passed slowly.
Maya was awakened by the sound of Julian making a phone call. She woke in a daze, feeling her body ache with each movement.
“You can’t investigate this matter thoroughly. The program can also be stopped indefinitely.” Julian’s voice was filled with anger.
She raised her head and saw that he was seated next to her. Then, she realized that this was indeed her room, and he was sleeping on her bed.
Moreover, he had numerous scratch marks, with clear kissing marks on his neck.
Maya closed her eyes again, and vague fragments of yesterday’s memories flashed through her mind. Right now, she just wanted to disappear from the face of the Earth.
Julian tossed his phone aside and felt that Maya had regained consciousness. Then, he turned his head to look at her.
Maya, feeling like an ostrich, couldn’t maintain her pretense under Julian’s penetrating gaze. Opening her eyes, she tried to appear as if everything was normal after their intimacy and looked at him and said, “I’ll call Luna. I’m worried about her.”
He turned and grabbed the phone on the bedside table.
She noticed the scratches on his back. While they had been intimate as a married couple, this kind of intensity was indeed a first.
A faint blush crept onto her cheeks when he handed her the phone.
After taking the phone, she dialed Luna’s number. However, she realized that when she was in a daze earlier, she had called Julian’s phone instead. And that’s why he ended up sleeping in my room.
