Chapter 45: Obviously, I’ve been drugged!
Vanessa was stunned for a moment and said with a smile:
-Thank you, I’ll be more careful.
The assistant’s face flushed and he ducked his head in silence, looking very innocent.
The private room was already booked and the waiter guided her through the door. As the people from the other company had not yet arrived, Vanessa and the assistant sat down to look at the menu.
Ten minutes after the agreed time, noises were heard outside the door.
-Is it here?
Vanessa frowned at the other person’s arrogant tone, but her displeasure vanished instantly and she stood up with a polite smile.
-Good evening, Mr. Lucho. I am the representative of Grupo Moya, Vanesa Cazalla,” Vanesa shook his hand politely.
Lucho Pozo was the representative of the other company and he was a middle-aged man with a giant belly. And his eyes lit up immediately after seeing Vanessa and he looked her up and down sharply with a surprising smile.
-Hello, Miss Vanessa,” Lucho smiled in what he thought was a very gentlemanly way and shook Vanessa’s hand.
That soft touch excited Lucho and his smile became even more disgusting. He didn’t let go of Vanessa’s hand, but squeezed it deliberately and rubbed the palm of his hand with his fingers.
-Mr. Lucho, let’s sit down first,” said Vanessa, holding back her disgust, and stuck out her hand.
-Okay, please sit down.
Even though Lucho had seen countless beautiful people, he was still in awe of Vanessa’s beauty and had already forgotten about the project contract, because he only had in mind to take Vanessa and savour her.
The assistant was a little concerned to see the disgusted expression on Lucho’s face.
At first, he wanted to sit between the two of them, to separate Vanessa from Lucho. But Mr. Lucho’s subordinates were very experienced and forced him to sit away from her.
The assistant was even more anxious, but he could not say anything, because he was a simple assistant. It was already a great opportunity to come and negotiate about the project and he couldn’t offend the company of that Mr. Lucho…
Vanessa noticed the assistant’s concern and gave him a look.
-What position does Miss Vanesa hold in the Moya Group? Why haven’t I ever seen you? -spoke Mr. Lucho, who was sitting next to Vanesa.
-It’s not an important position,” Vanessa replied coldly.
She was already hysterical at the man’s disgusting actions, but she had to endure it in silence.
“Does Orlando send me to negotiate with him knowing that he is a pervert? Does he hate me that much?”
Soon, the waiter brought the food and Mr. Lucho ordered a lot of wine.
The waiter, who was pushing the trolley, was filling everyone’s glasses and when he reached Vanessa and Lucho, he poured some into the wine while bending down.
-Sir, your wine,” said the waiter politely, who exchanged a glance with Lucho and left.
Mr. Lucho’s subordinates began to fill the assistant’s glass with enthusiasm to get him drunk.
-Miss Vanessa, let’s drink a toast.
After taking the bottle, Mr. Lucho poured two more glasses and handed one to Vanessa.
When Mr. Lucho laughed, his eyes disappeared into the fat on his face, but he was unaware of the reality and thought he himself was very attractive like that.
And she took the cup with her chubby fingers to force Vanessa to drink.
-I’m sorry, Mr. Lucho, I don’t know how to drink,” Vanessa rejected him with an indifferent smile.
Lucho was immediately disgusted and said angrily:
-Miss Vanessa, you came to talk to me about cooperation from the Moya Group, didn’t you? If you don’t give me even this minimal respect, I don’t think it’s necessary to negotiate any further.
“You fucking asshole!”
-Mr. Lucho, don’t get angry, I’ll drink it.
Vanessa knew that she would have to drink, but she said it on purpose so that she would have an excuse to drink less later.
-Great, Miss Vanessa,” Lucho held up the glass, but did not drink, but secretly looked at Vanessa.
When he saw that Vanessa drank it in one gulp, he was even happier and filled another glass for Vanessa. And this time, he finished drinking first, forcing Vanessa to drink the whole glass.
“Two glasses of wine are already enough, I have to find other excuses not to drink more”.
Vanessa thought, but she didn’t know that she had already fallen into Lucho’s trap.
Meanwhile, the assistant was getting drunk and was unable to look after Vanessa.
As Vanessa had drunk the “special” wine, Lucho was about to achieve his goal and couldn’t wait any longer to expose his perverted face.
-Miss Vanessa, you are so beautiful,” Lucho praised, wanting to touch Vanessa.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yuck!”
Vanessa couldn’t take it anymore, she stood up and said coldly:
-Excuse me, I’m going to the toilet for a moment.
-Yes, yes, go.
Although she found it strange that Lucho had suddenly become sympathetic, Vanessa didn’t suspect anything, because she just wanted to get away from this man.
“Ugh, do I get drunk that easily?”
After a few steps, Vanessa began to feel dizzy and the walls started to turn upside down. She had to lean against the wall to keep from falling and bit her lip to wake herself up.
Then she picked up her pace and went into the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, so she felt more awake.
“It’s not possible that I was drunk with only two drinks. Besides, I feel dizzy and I’ve lost strength in my legs”.
“Obviously, I’ve been drugged and I’m sure it’s Lucho’s trap”.
“Did Orlando plan it? Does he hate me that much? He hates me to the point where he dumped me in some old pervert’s bed and the funny thing is, I don’t even know what bad thing I’ve done to him.”
“No! I have to leave now!”
Vanessa frowned and came out of the toilet swinging.
When she saw the waiter, who was carrying a trolley, Vanessa stopped him and said:
-I’m not feeling well, can you walk me to the entrance?
As Vanessa was dizzy, her vision was blurred and she didn’t realise that this waiter was the same one who had served her the wine in the room. She was so sick with dizziness that she just wanted to leave right now.
-Miss, are you all right? -asked the waiter with concern and went over to hold Vanessa.
-Please, come with me….
Before the words were finished, Vanessa lost consciousness. After confirming that there was no one else around her, that waiter rushed her into the lift.
Just as they entered the lift, a group of people entered from the lobby.
Dylan happened to see a familiar figure in the lift, but before confirming it, his friend patted him on the shoulder.
