    N could feel the strength of therge hand that encircled her waist—firm and unyielding, like a protective barrier. The warmth radiating from the man’s body seeped through the thin fabric of her shirt, igniting a blush that crept up her cheeks. This proximity felt too intimate, too charged. The subtle scent of his cologne wafted around her, wrapping her in a cocoon of confusion and exhration.


    “Mr. Damon, thank you,” she managed to say, her voice a whisper as she instinctively avoided his gaze, focusing instead on the ground beneath her feet.


    Damon, with an air of nonchnce, withdrew his hand as if their brief contact had been nothing more than a casual gesture, devoid of any significance. “You should also watch your step when looking at medicinal materials,” he remarked, his tone still cool, yet N sensed a hint of softness lurking beneath the surface.


    Throughout the remainder of the tour, N kept her eyes trained on the path ahead, her heart racing at the thought of falling again. The idea ofnding back in Damon’s arms was a thrill she didn’t want to experience—at least, not again. She was acutely aware of the way her pulse quickened in his presence, and that sensation felt perilously close to danger.


    Emma, their guide, gestured towards a series of drying racks. “This side is our Rauwolfia drying area,” she exined, her enthusiasm evident. “Rauwolfia is one of our main medicinal materials here.”


    “What level can the alkaloid content in Rauwolfia generally reach?” N asked, her curiosity piqued.


    “Under normal circumstances, the alkaloid content in Rauwolfia dried here can reach 0.1%,” Emma replied, her voice steady and informative.


    N’s heart sank at this revtion. If the typical alkaloid content was merely 0.1%, then the sample that Skyray Medical had provided her for testing earlier that morning—boasting an astonishing active ingredient ratio of 1.875%—seemed suspiciously out of ce. A nagging doubt began to settle in her mind. Could it be that Skyray Medical was intentionally supplying high-quality samples to inte prices while delivering subpar materials in reality?


    As they made their way back, N feltpelled to share her concerns with Damon. “You mean they tampered with the samples?” he asked, his voice low and grave.


    “Very likely,” she replied, her analytical mind racing. “Normal Rauwolfia alkaloid content wouldn’t exceed 0.15%, but that sample they provided us is off the charts at 1.875%. This either indicates an exceptionally rare high-quality batch, or it’s been artificially enhanced.”


    Damon’s expression hardened, the coldness in his demeanor deepening. “It seems this Skyray Medical indeed has problems.”


    Meanwhile, in the sterile confines of Skyray Medical’s office, Vice President Bill was engaged in a conversation with a young employee named Zoe.


    “Bill, what’s Damon’s attitude?” Zoe asked, a hint of concern in her voice.


    “He still insists he needs to discuss with the board,” Bill replied, his brow furrowed in thought. “It appears that a straightforward business negotiation may not suffice. We might need to explore other avenues.”


    Zoe pondered this, her eyes narrowing slightly. “That night when I attempted to present N with gifts, it didn’t go as nned. However, I noticed that she holds considerable influence over Damon. If we can secure her cooperation, this negotiation could be sealed.”


    Bill nodded, a n forming in his mind as he retrieved a gold card from the safe. “This card contains one million. Tonight, at the farewell banquet, find a way to present this to her. If she epts, we all benefit. If she refuses the toast…”


    He paused, a glint of cold calction shing in his eyes. “You know what to do.”


    Zoe epted the card, a smirk curling her lips. “Understood. To double thepany’s profits, sometimes we must take unconventional steps.”


    That evening, the farewell banquet hosted by Skyray Medical buzzed with energy. Bill was the picture of enthusiasm as he engaged their three guests.


    “Mr. Damon, this cooperation presents a tremendous opportunity for both ourpanies,” Bill remarked, probing for insight into Damon’s thoughts. “What’s your current perspective?”


    Damon savored the rich taste of the red wine, his demeanorposed. “I still need to discuss this with the board. The stakes are quite significant.”


    “Of course, of course,” Bill responded, disappointment flickering behind his smile. “Business is akin to a battlefield. Caution is always prudent.”


    As the evening progressed, N noticed a subtle change in Damon. His usually paleplexion bore a hint of color, and the chill in his eyes softened, revealing a trace of intoxication. The alcohol seemed to have a transformative effect on his striking features, making him appear more approachable, even gentle.


    N found herself captivated, lost in the moment, until Zoe abruptly stood up.


    “Miss N, allow me to propose a toast to you,” Zoe said, striding confidently to N’s side with a ss in hand. “Thank you for your invaluable guidance to ourpany.”


    N rose politely, a smile gracing her lips. “You’re wee. It’s my pleasure to assist.”


    Yet, in the instant their sses clinked, Zoe feigned a misstep, her wine ss tilting dangerously, and crimson liquid sshed across N’s pristine shirt cor.


    “Oh my! I’m so sorry!” Zoe eximed, her voiceced with faux concern as she grabbed a towel from the table, hurriedly attempting to dab at the stain. “I truly didn’t mean to!”


    This unexpected “ident” drew the attention of everyone in the private room. Damon’s brow furrowed as he nced over, and Spencer halted his conversation with Bill, curiosity piqued.


    “It’s alright. I’ll just head to the restroom to clean up,” N said, feeling a mix of annoyance and embarrassment.


    “I’ll apany you,” Zoe chimed in, her enthusiasm almost too eager. “Let me help you.”


    In the restroom, N faced the mirror, scrubbing at the wine stains on her shirt. The dark liquid had seeped deep into the fabric, proving stubbornly resistant to her efforts.


    “Miss N, I truly apologize for this,” Zoe said, her tone sharine as she pretended to assist while discreetly scanning the area for onlookers.


    “It’s fine. I can change when I return to the hotel,” N replied, her focus still on the task at hand.


    As N finished cleaning and reached for paper towels to dry herself, Zoe suddenly produced a gold card from her bag.


    “Miss N, I’m genuinely sorry about tonight,” Zoe said, her voice taking on a more significant tone. “I hope you can ept my apology. This card contains one million, as a token of ourpany’s gratitude for your professional service.”


    N’s eyes widened as she processed the implications of the card. She quickly understood Zoe’s true intentions.


    “Also, if you could speak favorably about ourpany in front of Mr. Damon,” Zoe continued, her tone smooth and persuasive, “we would be more than willing to express our gratitude further. Perhaps fixed annual consultant fees, or other resources you might find beneficial.”


    Faced with the allure of a one million bribe and promises of future rewards, N’s expression hardened.


    “I’m sorry, but I don’t have the ability to influence Mr. Damon’s decisions. You’ve mistaken me for someone else,” she said firmly, pushing the card away with resolve.


    Zoe’s demeanor shifted instantly, her cheerful facade crumbling. “Miss N, one must recognize the times we live in. This is a mutually beneficial opportunity. Why refuse?”


    “Because this is an hical transaction,” N replied, meeting Zoe’s gaze with unwavering determination. “My professional ethics don’t permit me to engage in such dealings.”


    Seeing N’s steadfast resolve, Zoe retracted her feigned politeness, a cold glimmer shing in her eyes.


    As N turned to leave, Zoe’s voice called after her, dripping with sarcasm. “In that case, I can only extend my apologies to you, Miss N.”


    N paused, sensing something amiss in Zoe’s tone. Before she could decipher the meaning behind those words, an unexpected sharp pain pierced the back of her neck.


    A thin needle had punctured her skin, and in an instant, a cold liquid coursed through her veins, invading her bloodstream.


    “You…” N gasped, her body betraying her as her vision blurred and darkness enveloped her, leaving her powerless as she copsed softly to the floor.Conclusion
