A few drop of sweat streamed down from Lillie's pale cheeks . Ethan, who reluctantly stuck to her plan, pretend to leave to fetch her a gla.s.s of water .

On a lone table, Yang Hui twirled her champagne gla.s.s in boredom . The hawk-like eyes that observed Lillie and Ethan glinted when she saw Ethan stood up to leave .

Her eyes did not escaped Lillie's fl.u.s.tered face .

It seems the drug was working .

Yang Hui stood up and, once again, approached Lillie .

"Oh my, Thea, you don't look well . " She said in feigned concern .

Hearing her nickname 'Thea' being spoken by someone like her irked Lillie greatly .

"I might've had too much champagne . " Lillie replied with a weak tone as she ma.s.saged her 'aching' her .

Yang Hui hid her malicious smirk with a frown . "That's not good . How about you rest first?"

Then, as if she realized something, she exclaimed, "Oh! That reminds me, I actually have a room booked . I was planning on having a me-day and enjoy Bai Château's splendor . But it seems you need it more than me . "

Lillie waved her hand in refusal . "No, no, I'm fine . I know how much money one room cost here, it'll only be a waste if it weren't you who uses it . "

d.a.m.n right it'll be a waste! But since I'm such a 'good' person, I'll lend it to you! There's also a bonus waiting!

"I insist . Here's the card . " Yang Hui took a silver card from her purse and forced it on Lillie's hand . "It's on the 25th floor, room 207 . "

A fake worried expression appeared on Lillie's face and said, "I should call Ethan first . It'll worry him if I—"

"I'll tell him . " Yang Hui immediately said, cutting her in mid-sentence .

She cleared her throat and reconstructed her words . "You should prioritize yourself first . Don't worry about Ethan, I'll tell him where you are as soon as he gets back . "

Seeing that there's no use of rejecting her, Lillie nodded . "Then, I won't be polite . Thank you, Yang Hui . "

"You're very welcome, Thea . " She sweetly replied .

When Lillie's back faced her, Yang Hui could not contain the look of triumph and malice in her face .

Lillie, now out of her 'weak' facade as soon as the doors of the party hall closed behind her, rode the elevator and pressed the 25th floor .

As she drew closer to room 207, she saw three men by the door .

The three bowed their heads and greeted in unison, "Miss Bai . "

"Is he inside?"

"Yes, miss . Also, the housekeepers who were appointed to this room notified us that he had an aphrodisiac in his hold . " One of them informed .

"Very good . Stand by for the mean time, I'll go in . "

"Yes, miss . " They obliged .

It's not like they're not worried, it's just that their young miss had the tendency of dominating her opponent's own game by herself, turning it completely in her favor .

Lillie inserted the card and entered the dim lighted room . Walking further inside the bedroom, her nose picked up the scent of a familiar incense .

"Strange . " She muttered .
