"Yes, I am," Adeline replied, facing the woman's unfriendly gaze with a hint of annoyance.
With a loud smack, the woman tossed her car keys with the BMW logo onto the table, followed by her LV handbag. Then, arrogantly, she sat opposite Adeline, crossing one leg while staring at her.
"Well, not even a stunning beauty, though you have a little innocent charm."
As she spoke, she looked at the glass of lemon water with contempt and showed off her manicured nails to Adeline, asking, "Do you like them? I just had them done, and they need a bit of moisturizing spray."
After that, she took out a small bottle of spray from her handbag and sprayed it on her nails.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The pungent scent of the spray filled the air.
Adeline instinctively held her breath and felt bewildered by the woman's provocative actions.
"Are you here to help me with the survey? If not, I'll be leaving."
The woman chuckled and continued spraying the mist, "I'm here to tell you to give up the competition."
"Giving up the competition?" Adeline's expression froze for a moment, and then her eyes narrowed, showing a hint of seriousness. "Who are you to tell me to give up the competition?"
"I am Rebecca Morris," the woman said confidently.
As soon as Adeline heard the surname, her face changed.
"So, there was no survey at all, right? You bribed the staff to make me wait for you here?"
"That's right," Rebecca raised her eyebrow, arrogantly admiring her manicured nails, completely dismissing Adeline.
"I remember my brother said that you are not allowed to appear in the West District anymore." She lifted her eyes and smiled at Adeline.
"So, I'm asking you to give up the competition right now and get out of the West District."
"I'm sorry. Your brother might have said that, but I didn't agree. Prodiff is a big city, and it doesn't belong to anyone, nor does anyone have the final say over it. I will go wherever I want."
After saying that, Adeline picked up her bag and stood up abruptly.
Rebecca glanced at her and asked nonchalantly, "What's your relationship with Mr. Riley?"
Adeline frowned and glanced back at her. "I have no obligation to explain that to you."
After that, Adeline turned around to leave.
Rebecca's voice faintly sounded from the back.
"I don't care how you ended up watching a movie with Mr. Riley... But I am warning you, stay away from him. He's not someone you can dream to get."
Adeline couldn't be bothered by Rebecca and walked towards the elevator. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
However, after taking a few steps, she furrowed her brows, feeling something was off.
Her body seemed to get increasingly warm, her legs weakening, as if she was treading on cotton and couldn't use her strength.
How could that be?
She didn't drink anything just now.
Suddenly, Adeline's expression changed!
It was that bottle of spray!
It looked like it was for the nails, but it was not!
Instead, it contained some kind of love potion!
Adeline instinctively turned her head to look towards the lobby café and saw Rebecca smirking with her fiery red lips, looking pleased with herself.
That contemptuous gaze seemed to say that crushing her would be as easy as squashing an ant.
Hatred surged in Adeline's mind.
But the more agitated she felt, the faster the drug seemed to take effect, and her body seemed to be burning up!
No, she couldn't succumb to that villain's plan!
Gritting her teeth, Adeline forced herself to walk towards the staircase.
As she reached the corner, a large hand covered her mouth tightly.
"Ah!"
Adeline's heart trembled, and she let out a muffled cry.
However, her voice was completely muffled by the man's hand, and it wouldn't alert anyone!
What should she do?
Adeline was dragged into a dark corner...
