Chapter 73: The swan fell into the trap
From the moment I stepped out of the director’s office until late afternoon, that curtain had not been raised once.
Glancing at the right corner of the computer screen, seeing that it was four o’clock in the afternoon, I immediately got up from my seat and went home, taking a shower.
The working hours of the company’s employees are inherently flexible, especially the sales department. Therefore, even if I leave a little early, the human resources department still gives me a full day of timekeeping.
However, everyone is self-aware and does not intentionally leave the company early if they do not have an appointment with a customer.
Also because of Brian, I had the intention of deceiving the company.
After applying light makeup and putting on a light purple dress, I took a taxi to the meeting point.
Kelvin seems to be a young man who does not like to show off. The restaurant he chose was a popular restaurant.
However, that restaurant’s food is very delicious, I have eaten there before so I know it well.
“Miss Bella, I’m here.” The man waved and called as soon as I entered.
It turns out that Kelvin does not have any similarities with Martin. He doesn’t look as charismatic and handsome as his brother.
In short, he looks like me, normal, not luxurious like the rich boys of the upper class.
“Hello Mr. Kelvin, there’s a traffic jam so I’m a bit late.” I smiled and held out my hand.
“No problem. I also just arrived.”
After shaking hands, we sat down and ordered.
Kelvin invited me to drink some wine and I agreed. I believe in my drinking ability. A few glasses of wine won’t make me stagger, stumble, or lose my image as a professional salesperson.
Furthermore, this man is a potential customer, contributing to adding more money to my pocket. How could I refuse this small request?
“You and my brother are very close, right? Did he say anything about me to you?” Kelvin asked me. His voice sounded a bit worried.
“No. Actually, I’ve only met your brother a few times. We are not friends. Mr. Martin is my boss’s friend. Previously, I used to work as a maid for a rich family.”
“Really?” He smiled, his facial muscles relaxed, no longer tense.
“Yes. I only heard your name and your studies briefly when I brought up the stir-fried beef for them to continue their drinking session.”
He nodded, quickly pouring wine into two glasses. Maybe he’s already reassured, right? I’m not inherently a talkative person.
I don’t have time to talk to Martin about things that have nothing to do with me. Sometimes I pass by First Real Group but I never go inside.
Martin is a friend of Brian, not my friend. Since those two guys fought on the street, I’ve only seen that swollen face once again in the shopping mall.
Wine is easy to drink but also very easy to get drunk. I know well, so I don’t dare to drink too much.
If it was beer, I would drink about eight cans without getting drunk, I would just be bold and talk a little more.
“Mr. Kelvin, we should just finish this bottle. Don’t order more wine.” I proactively spoke up when I heard Kelvin ask the waiter to bring him another bottle of wine.
“Okay, I’ll obey you. Women are always given priority.”
As soon as I raised my chopsticks, my vision suddenly blurred and my actions were no longer precise.
It’s strange, the two of us haven’t finished the bottle of wine and Kelvin drinks more than me, how can I get drunk?
Today, my body is very healthy and not tired. How can I get drunk so quickly?Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“I… I would like to go to the bathroom for a moment.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I stood up, tried to close my eyes, and then opened them, but the situation was still not much better, everything around me was still unstable.
I staggered, bumped into this person, then that person, and it took me a long time to get to the bathroom.
“Girl, you’re in the wrong place, this is the men’s restroom.”
A sudden man’s voice startled me and I looked around. He was right. This place is full of men. Maybe I’m drunk already.
I didn’t have time to say sorry and quickly turned away. However, my leg didn’t seem to obey me, causing me to fall to the floor.
While I was struggling to get up, suddenly a strong arm reached out and helped me stand up.
“Bri… Brian.”
“Uh, it’s me. What’s wrong with you? Are you drunk?”
Even when my mind is not clear and I know I need help, I still don’t want this man to touch me.
I tried to get rid of him but my strength was almost drained by someone, my whole body was soft, and my limbs became useless.
I suddenly missed my house, I missed my bed. I want to go home and get some sleep, I just need to get some sleep and I’ll feel better.
“Home… I want to go home.” I said while crying.
“Okay, I’ll take you home. If you can’t drink, why do you still drink so much?”
After that reproach, I felt my whole body being lifted up.
I don’t know why at this moment, my whole body is hot, restless like insects crawling all over my body, very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable.
I need to find a source of water, I want to sit in a tub full of water. My consciousness gradually disappeared, and everything around me also faded away.
I don’t know how long I was lost in the dream of love. When I woke up, I found myself in a strange room.
No, it’s not strange at all. This room belongs to that man.
I sat up in panic and groaned as I felt pain all over my body. Everything seemed to recreate the morning after the fateful night more than two years ago.
The bastard Brian. How can he treat me like this? He’s about to get engaged to Hellen, but why can’t he let me go?
Trying to swallow back the tears in my heart, I struggled to get out of bed, grabbed my dress and underwear, and put them on.
The moment I accidentally looked into the large mirror, the image reflected a pale face with kiss marks imprinted on my neck.
Fragments of memories before I lost consciousness kept popping up, causing my head to ache.
I remember last night I went into the men’s restroom and met Brian. Is that a coincidence?
“Brian, it turns out you colluded with Kelvin to harm me. Bastard. How can you treat the person you once loved like that?”
I clenched my hand into a fist. My whole body trembled because I was so angry.
Even in my dreams, I did not expect that man would do these despicable things. The unpleasant feeling I felt at that time was not just because I drank alcohol.
After thinking for a while, I shivered when I realized I had taken an aphrodisiac. Yes, I definitely took aphrodisiacs.
My burning primal desire and Brian’s cool skin. Extreme desires surrounded me, but I thought it was just a dream.
I had sex with him in a state of almost unconsciousness, like the first time. Could it be that he also gave me aphrodisiacs that year?
Oh my God. Turns out Brian is that kind of person. I fell in love with a bad man. I even thought I was a bad girl because I climbed into his bed.
He once told me that he felt regretful because he had sex with me that night. Does he really regret it? The hypocrite.
“Are you awake? Let’s go to the kitchen and have breakfast.”
My head turned around when I heard that voice. At this moment, I just want to rush to him and tear him to release the pain that is billowing as if it wants to rip out my foolish heart.
His eyes were filled with deception. His smile is disgusting. He is happy because he has achieved half of his goal, right?
Next, he will kick me away as if he were kicking a pebble and he will insult me, right?
“Bastard, you… You’re a bastard. I didn’t expect… I didn’t expect that I would love a beast like you. Are you so hungry and thirsty? You really crave women, don’t you? If you need women, I can introduce you to some women for you to have sex with. How dare you… how dare you give me aphrodisiacs?” I shouted in sobs.
“Bella, you misunderstood me. Last night…”
“You’re going to say it’s because I seduced you, right? Two years ago, it was the same trick. I blamed myself and felt guilty. I’m so stupid.”
Brian’s footsteps stopped when he heard me say those words.
I said exactly what he did, right? Therefore, he had nothing to say.
I bent down to pick up my bag that was lying near the foot of the bed and put my hand in it to rummage around.
I wanted to take out my phone to call a taxi and I was shocked when I saw countless missed calls from both Caily and Richard.
My intuition told me that something bad had happened. Yesterday, when I went to see Kelvin, I turned off the incoming call alarm and was unaware that they had tried to contact me this morning.
My fingers trembled and touched Richard’s phone number and put the phone to my ear.
“Richard, you call me…”
“Bella, you… Where are you? Hurry to the city hospital, Mr. Richard had an accident. He needs blood. The blood bank at the hospital does not have enough blood.” Caily cried bitterly.
I didn’t hesitate and quickly ran away, but Brian grabbed my hand and held me back.
His eyes flashed with anger and countless mixed emotions in them. I don’t know what words to use to describe it.
“Let go of me.” I twisted my wrist, gritted my teeth, and growled.
“Don’t go. Bella, we need to talk. What happened yesterday was…”
“That’s enough. You told Kelvin to approach me and put aphrodisiacs in my wine. One is a doctor and the other is a famous businessman, but the two of you did this dirty thing. Stallion.”
“What? Stallion? You say I’m a stallion, huh?”
“Right. I think you should add the condom manufacturing industry to the list of Hana Group’s business sectors.”
