When Zara saw Aaron, she shot a quick nce back at Chloe. Chloe felt a sudden unease, sensing that something was off.


    Zara started talking to the man, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Hill?"


    "Yeah, and you must be Ms. Jenkins?" Aaron''s eyes lit up as he asked Zara. Chloe''s unease grew. With years of business experience, she kept her guard up.


    "Yes, Mr. Hill, nice to meet you. I''m Zara Jenkins from Summit Media Solutions. We arranged to have dinner tonight to discuss our potential coboration. This is our Summit Media Solutions''..."


    Zara was about to introduce Chloe as the general manager when Chloe interrupted, extending her hand to stop Zara.


    "Mr. Hill, nice to meet you. I''m Ms. Jenkins'' assistant," Chloe interjected.


    Chloe had a mole on her face, courtesy of Grant, and when she appeared before Aaron, he visibly showed disdain for her appearance.


    He snapped at Chloe, "Can''t you see I''m talking to Ms. Jenkins? Shut up! Ms. Jenkins, please have a seat. The food and drinks are ready. Tonight, we won''t leave until we''re drunk."


    Aaron, the boss, was overly enthusiastic and insisted that Zara sit down. Moreover, right in front of Chloe, his wandering hands began to inappropriately touch Zara.


    Zara was disgusted but had no concrete evidence to confront Aaron, so she endured his inappropriate behavior.


    Chloe watched Aaron''s hands with growing anger. Just as he reached out once more to touch Zara''s waist, Chloe swiftly extended her own hand and grabbed Aaron''s fat fingers.


    She smiled, "Mr. Hill, Ms. Jenkins is here to discuss business. If we can coborate, great. If not, we won''t waste our time. If you touch Ms. Jenkins again, don''t expect me to be polite."


    Chloe''s face was stern as she delivered her warning to Aaron.


    Originally, she thought that after such a warning, Aaron would surely be angry. Unexpectedly, Aaron just smiled and then obediently sat down. He then briefly exined his cooperation ideas to Zara and Chloe.


    To be honest, he came well-prepared. His cooperation n was presented in a clear and orderly manner, leaving no room for ws.


    After listening to his proposal, Zara nodded to Chloe, indicating that this cooperation could be further discussed..


    Chloe''s initial wariness of Aaron eased slightly after hearing his proposal.


    They discussed specific terms of the coboration.


    Finally, Aaron suggested, "Ms. Jenkins, Miss Davis, since we''ve covered most of the coboration details, let''s have a drink to celebrate our future partnership."

    Zara and Chloe couldn''t refuse Aaron''s insistence. They raised their sses and clinked them with Aaron''s.


    Just as Chloe swallowed that ss of wine and was about to sit down, she suddenly felt dizzy.


    Forcing herself to stay alert, she nced at Zara, who was sitting beside her. Zara''s condition wasn''t much better; she was holding her head with one hand and looking at Chloe with concern.


    "Chloe, what''s happening? There''s something wrong with the drink," Zara said anxiously.


    The intense dizziness clouded Chloe''s mind. She couldn''t believe Aaron had the audacity to drug them.


    She mustered enough strength to look at Aaron, who was sitting not far away. She noticed a subtle, cold smile appearing on his face.


    Chloe knew she couldn''t afford to be careless. She grabbed her phone from the table, intending to call for help.


    But Aaron, anticipating her move, swiftly grabbed her phone and threw it far away. "Fuck, ugly woman, who do you think you are to talk to me like that? I only gave you some respect because that woman looks decent. Otherwise, I would''ve pped you already."


    Aaron then grabbed Chloe and threw her onto the couch in the private room.


    He then turned his attention to Zara, approaching her with a lecherous grin. "Ms. Jenkins, I can''t guarantee our business deal, but I can guarantee you''ll have a good time tonight."

    Aaron reached out to touch Zara''s face. Desperate, Zara grabbed a wine decanter and tried to hit Aaron with it.


    But drugged and weak, she couldn''t muster any strength. The decanter barely affected Aaron.


    Aaron smirked, wiping his face. "I like feisty women."


    After speaking, he reached out and pulled Zara into his arms. Chloe, whose consciousness was already fading, saw Aaron about to harm Zara. She forced herself to stay upright, grabbed a chair, and with all her strength, struck it against Aaron''s pudgy back.


    The blow made Aaron wince in pain. He turned to Chloe with a menacing look. "Fuck, ugly woman, you dare hit me? I''ll kill you."


    Aaron pped Chloe twice, making her copse to the floor.


    The dizziness numbed her pain. Chloe shouted to Zara, "Zara, run..."


    Aaronughed coldly. He then gave Chloe a harsh kick and sneered, "Trying to leave? Impossible. You two girls had the audacity toe to this hotel to dine with me; you really don''t know your ce."


    He paused for a moment, his eyes glinting coldly as he red at Chloe and Zara. "Let me make it clear to you: everyone in this hotel is under mymand. You''ve been drugged by me; thinking you could leave? That''s naive. Unless this woman pleases my father well, otherwise..." He sneered maliciously.


    With a glint of arrogance in his eyes, Aaron grabbed Zara''s arm fiercely, yanking her up and forcefully holding her in his arms. Zara struggled but couldn''t move a muscle. The sight pierced Chloe''s heart like a dagger, tears streaming down her face uncontrobly.
