Chapter 19 Do You Like It?
Chapter 19 Do You Like It?
The passionate scene brought a hot blush to her cheeks.
Este Anderson nudged her arm with an elbow. "Be cool. A smart guy like Mr. Edison must have
put up his guard. Try to hide your intentions a little bit."
That reminded her that she was on cloud nine.
Taking a deep breath andposing herself, she took the two sses of cocktails from the
bartender''s hand and carefully put the powder into one.
The bartender saw what she did and gave her a knowing smile. The two sses looked the same,
and he put a small green olive with tongs in the clean one to help Nancy tell them apart.
Nancy winked at him and said, "Darling, I love you so much!"
Edison Yates hated olives so much he would never pick the one with an olive.
The bartender was one of her few male friends. He worked in the first-floor bar of the Nightcharm
Club, where they had met and befriended.
And of her, he was much aware.
He had known her for a while and always kept his mouth shut about her, never telling anyone about
her affairs.
Thus, she had faith in him and trusted him with the birthday party, a lucrative deal. He could also
back her up.
She walked to Edison Yates and Gwenyth Lovce, with the two sses of cocktails in her hands.
As the two sat down, those who had been in the seats around stood up and got away from Edison
consciously.
Seeing Nancying, Reina O''gen hurried to vacate the spot next to Edison for her.
Trying to act casual, Nancy handed the cocktails to Edison and Gwenyth.
Gwenyth took the one with an olive but put it on the table instead of drinking it up.
Edison leaned against the sofa in azy position with a careless look on his face. He had his arm
around Gwenyth''s shoulder and never moved it since they walked into the bar.
He didn''t take the cocktail from Nancy as if he didn''t even see here.
All the attention from other tables brought a hot blush to Nancy''s cheeks, and she ced the ss
in front of Edison and sat in the seat opposite to him, not the one next to him.
"Eddie, today''s my birthday. Did you prepare any gift for me?"
With his look unchanged, he replied in a t tone, "I came here. It''s the best gift"
"Eddie, I''ve already known about the agreement."
"Then, what?"
"You don''t need to push me like this."
Edison chuckled and fueled his arm around Gwenyth''s shoulders, pulling her closer into his
embrace, and their bodies were in a clinch.
She smelt sweet, her fragrance filling his nostrils, better than Nancy with her perfume.
He buried his face in Gwenyth''s neck.
"Eddie, too bad you''re not an actor."
"The agreement is none of your business."
He coldly said, "That''s just a piece of paper, and I can dispose of it whenever I want."
"I know you have mental cleanliness so you can''t really get intimate with her."
With confidence on her face, Nancy took a ss of wine from the tray a waiter was holding and
toasted to Edison and Gwenyth, "Thank you for attending my birthday party! I''ll chug it to say my
appreciation!"
She raised her head and emptied the ss, then returned it to the tray. After that, she went upstairs
to find Reina O''gen. She seemed indifferent but kept peeking at Edison from time to time.
He did not yet touch the ss on the table.
That set her kind of distraught.
Edison had already noticed she was peeking at him, and having a nce at the two sses, one
having an olive in it that he hated, triggered his sneer.
Nancy was too dumb at this.
Did she think she could fool him?
He looked down at Gwenyth in his arms, who was staying still there to cooperate with him. She was
clinging to him, filling his nose with sweetness as he breathed, thus soothing his nerves in a subtle
way.
His arms went slowly down to put around her waist.
Her tender and soft skin werefortable to caress.
"Let''s have a drink."
His proposal gained her attention, and after he mentioned the two sses on the table, she sat up
and reached for the cocktails.
He didn''t take the one that Nancy arranged for him but the one with an olive in it that Gwenyth took.
"Why switch it since they are the same?"
Gwenyth was confused.
He sent the ss to his lips and sipped from the rim. To others, it looked like he drank a little bit, but
in reality, not a single drop passed his lips. He replied, "They''re not the same. This one has an
olive."
She thought him weird.
In her regard, he hated olives. There was one time the chef of the Yates family added a few olives
into his soup, which heter refused to eat. Howe he liked olives at the moment?
Would a man''s taste change as he grew older?
"You don''t wanna grab it?"
Edison raised his eyebrows at her with a smile.
"I''ll drink it."
How could she resist if he wanted her to drink it?
If she didn''t, he would threaten her with the breach.
All the sses at the party were for cocktails, only holding a little alcohol.
Gwenyth finished it in one sip.
Edison squinted his eyes with a growing smirk, "How''s the taste?"
"Kind of sweet."
"Do you like it?"
"Kinda."
"Want a sip of mine?"
With bewilderment, she looked at him and said, "You''ve drunk it."
"Is that bothering you?"
"No, it ain''t."
He took the ss in his hand to her lips and fed her.
Nancy saw it happening clearly and her hands hanging down were quivering.
It had been difficult for Este to get those pills, but in the end, they all ended up in Gwenyth''s
stomach.
It seemed Edison had noticed something, so he didn''t touch either ss.
Perhaps he didn''t want to take a risk, hence letting Gwenyth drink up both sses.
No wonder he was Edison Yates!
He was always on guard.
Anger boiled and nearly burst out of Nancy''s chest once she thought about how Gwenyth would
lose control and hurl herself at Edison after the pills kicked in.
"Are there any pills left?"
She asked Este.
"That was the only bag."
Este frowned and spoke in a low voice, "I bent over backwards to get that bag of pills. Did you
spike that ss of cocktail with all of them?"
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
"Yes."
"Why wouldn''t you leave some as backup, in case..."
She stopped and choked back her words as Nancy red at her.
"Say no more about that. The n went wrong already. Didn''t you see that Lovce woman drink
up both sses?"
Este, with good vision, had been secretly watching Edison Yates.
Apparently, Edison Yates let the woman drink up both sses on purpose.
"Is Mr. Edison going to do something to Miss Lov..."
"Shut your mouth up!"
Nancy Shandy had to suppress her anger and tried to remain collected.
After thinking and thinking, she spoke to Este, "You find a way to cause a scene and separate
Eddie and that slut. Now go ask the guards toe in, and when the chaos takes over, let them
take the slut to the room upstairs. Now that she''s drugged, they can have a treat tonight."
"Is it really okay?"
Este felt sort of disturbed.
That woman was Edison Yates'' girlfriend no matter what. Even if she was hired, she was working
for him at least.
"Do what I told you to do and keep your mouth shut!"
Nancy Shandy blew up and yelled at Este under her voice.
