Chapter 42 Who Ordered You?
Seeing Kate remained silent, Anna spoke calmly, “Ms. Lowe, if there’s nothing else, please take your people and leave. Don’t disturb Mr. Lowe’s rest.”
Kate continued to look at Anna. After a long time, she suddenly chuckled. Crossing her arms, she looked down at Anna and said bluntly, “Am I disturbing Hendrick’s rest, or am I disturbing your plan?”
Anna frowned and said firmly, “Ms. Lowe, can you please not accuse me of such things?”
Anna looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something, but stopped herself. After pretending to hesitate for a long time, she said coldly, “I was just doing what a secretary should do, taking care of the boss when he was drunk. Is this why you’re attacking me, Ms. Lowe?
“Should I have just let Mr. Lowe pass out outside?”
As Kate listened to Anna’s accusatory tone, her lips curled with a hint of disdain. She simply sat down by the bed, glanced at Anna, and said, “Anna, if you tell me now who ordered you, maybe you can still turn things around.”
Anna frowned. “Ms. Lowe, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Seeing that Anna still had the same indifferent look, Kate sighed softly and shrugged helplessly. “Well, don’t blame me, then. I’ve given you a chance, but since you won’t speak up… Hendrick, why don’t you say something?”
Kate’s voice was gentle, but to Anna, it felt like a thunderbolt, causing her to freeze for a moment. and subconsciously glance towards Hendrick with a hint of fear.
Hendrick was still lying on the bed, showing no signs of waking up.
Anna breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, then frowned and said to Kate, “Ms. Lowe, do you really have to disturb Mr. Lowe’s rest?”
Kate’s cold gaze fell on Anna, and she chuckled meaningfully.
Just as Anna was about to say something else, a warm and pleasant male voice suddenly sounded, tinged with disappointment. “That’s enough.”
Anna’s body stiffened, and she turned around in disbelief to see that Hendrick, who had been in a drunken stupor just now, had opened his eyes at some point and was now sitting on the bed, his eyes devoid of any drunkenness.
Anna felt a sudden panic in her heart. This doesn’t make sense. I definitely drugged Hendrick, and he should not have woken up at this moment,
Kate sat with her arms crossed, watching the scene unfold.

Anna’s body stiffened, and then she forced out a smile. “Mr. Lowe, what are you talking about…?”
She tried to calm her surging emotions, but when she met Hendrick’s eyes, she still subconsciously avoided them.
“What am I talking about?”
Hendrick’s voice was cold. At this moment, Anna was still pretending to be ignorant, as if nothing had happened. But he didn’t believe her.
Anna was about to explain, but she saw Hendrick take something out of his pocket and then a button.
“Does this drug really work that well? Are you sure Hendrick won’t remember anything afterwards?”
