What was she planning?
Why did she need to prepare and look beautiful?
In silence, she sifted through her memory to analyze the questions, piecing together every implicative meaning of their words.
Emily paled as the realization dawned on her. Over the years in Sterling Groups she had heard people talk about drugging to attract and to have sex.
Months ago, one of the group marketing staff had her job terminated because she had attempted to attract an investor by tampering with his drink.
The man was furious when he arrived at the Group. After investigations by the higher-ups… she was declared guilty and unethical.
The punishment had been harsh…. she was laid off without payment.
Thinking back to that incident, Emily shivered. If the Old man should give Lucian a drink or possibly invite him for one… there was no way he would object.
Emily scoffed. They had really planned it well. But the next moment, her heart fell. "How would she stop this?"
