Silvia did not bother to humor Ada. She stood up and left.
“Stop right there, Silvia!”
However, she walked on as if she never heard her.
Ada was fuming. Silvia was just a temporary worker, but she was not listening to her instruction. Ada would not let her off the hook this easily!
After she walked into the resting lounge, Ada sat down as she waited for the competition to start. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the bottled water on the table next to her. She suddenly had an idea.
Everyone’s water bottle was customized for convenience and safety. Every water bottle had a sticker of someone’s name on it, including the staff’s water bottles.
If Silvia drank from a spiked drink and embarrassed herself at the competition, Neil would definitely be disgusted with her.
Ada sneered when she thought about it.
The competition began in an hour’s time.
Silvia looked at the design drafts in her room and gave her comments. However, her vision started to blur as time went on, and she felt a little feverish.
She bit her bottom lip and soon realized that something was wrong. She had been drugged!
She took a deep breath and tried to stand up, but she felt very weak.
Silvia bit her arm so that the pain would keep her awake. Then, she stood up and left as quickly as possible.
She did not look for Blake Williams because she did not trust anyone at the event!
She tried to muster up the strength to walk toward the back door but fell onto the couch. Her limbs went limp, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She did not have any energy left.
Silvia thought that she could take a taxi and leave once she felt better, but her vision only got worse.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she felt someone was carrying her.
She forced her eyes open and vaguely saw the person’s strong jaw and cold expression. She was momentarily stunned before she subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his Adam’s apple.
She remembered everything clearly and knew that she had made the first move.
“Mr. Remus, can you pass me my phone?”
Her voice was a little hoarse from their activity earlier, and she felt a slight pain in her throat.
She blushed as she clenched her fists under the blanket.
Even though she was an extremely calm person, she still felt a bit embarrassed about situations like this.
Neil passed her a new set of clothes and calmly said, “Let’s talk after you put them on.”
After that, he turned around and gave her some space.
Silvia did not feel awkward about changing with him in the same room. It was not her first time after all.
“What would you like to talk about, Mr. Remus?”
