Chapter 1497 Spiked The Wine

After Kyle left Imperial Garden with Sally, he drove straight to Neon Hotel.

As Sally gazed at the neon lights outside the car window, unease lingered within her.

My first plan is to lure him to a hotel and drug him, but I haven’t even said anything. So why is he bringing me there now?

“Do we have a client to entertain?” she inquired, looking at Kyle in puzzlement.

Kyle was silent for a moment.

Nah, there’s nothing of that sort. You want to win me over, so I’m just providing you with an opportunity.

“Yeah.” He nodded in affirmation.

“What do you need me to do?”

“Have dinner with the client.”

“What client is that?”

“You’ll naturally know later.”

Sticking her lower lip out, Sally stopped asking further. Inwardly, she resolved to go with the flow and think on her feet.

When they arrived at the hotel, they headed toward a private room. But even after they had waited for quite some time, no one came. Perplexed, Sally then asked Kyle what was going on and why the client wasn’t there yet.

“He just texted me and said he’s rescheduling it to tomorrow.”

Surprise inundated Sally. What kind of client is it who actually dared to reschedule a meeting with someone from Seet Group?

As she pondered about that, her eyes abruptly lit up. It’s a good thing that the client isn’t coming! It gives me a perfect chance to bind him to me!

Balling her fists, she regarded Kyle with a bright smile on her face. “Why don’t we have dinner here since the client isn’t coming? Knowing that we were going out, they certainly wouldn’t have left us any food at home.”

“Sure,” Kyle agreed readily.

“I’ll go order and also see what good wines they have here, then.”

Without waiting for his response, Sally sprang to her feet and hastened out of the room.

Kyle’s ebony eyes darkened even as a devilish smirk bloomed on his handsome face.

It seems that she’s all too eager to grasp this golden opportunity I specially provided her. Very well…

Sally first ordered a few of the signature dishes there before she asked for a bottle of red wine.

He’s not hurting for money, so there’s no need to scrimp for him. And so she asked for the most expensive vintage wine the hotel offered.

“Please give it to me after you’ve uncorked the bottle. I’ll bring it back to the room myself.”

“Sure.”

After getting the red wine, she darted her eyes everywhere. When she had ascertained that no one was paying her any attention, she quickly added a colorless and tasteless powder into the wine. As she watched the powder dissolve in the crimson liquid, a triumphant smile manifested in her eyes.

With this wine, Kyle, our relationship will be entirely different!

When she returned to the room, she picked up a wine glass and poured Kyle some wine as she beamed from ear to ear.

“I purposely ordered this bottle of top-notch wine, so you must drink more.”

“This wine is deep crimson in color with a fragrant aroma, so it’s indeed a top-notch wine. Your taste isn’t too bad.”

Smiling, Sally filled his wine glass. “Here, try a glass first.”

With her nerves stretching taut, she handed him the wine glass.

Taking the wine glass, Kyle slowly brought it to his mouth and took a sniff. “Why is it that I find the aroma of this wine rather special?”

Hearing that, Sally clutched at the hem of her clothes nervously. The powder I added is colorless and tasteless. Does it also change the smell of the wine?

“Is… it?”

“Yeah, it smells especially fragrant compared to the wines I’ve had in the past.”

At once, Sally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unbeknownst to her, her expressions were all captured by the astute Kyle without fail, from the initial apprehension to the relief that followed.

An amused twinkle gleamed in Kyle’s eyes. Swaying the wine glass lightly, he downed the crimson liquid under her anxious and hopeful gaze.

At that, a smug smile flashed across Sally’s eyes. She inwardly counted down the time. Within half an hour, he’ll definitely—

Right at that moment, Kyle poured her a glass of wine as well. “You should have a glass, too.”

That promptly jolted Sally back to reality.

I-I can’t possibly drink it! I’ve still got something important to do! It’ll be disastrous if I drink it!

“No, thanks. M-My alcohol tolerance is low.”

“You’re my assistant, so you must train yourself if your alcohol tolerance is low. Drink up!” Kyle placed the wine glass in front of her.
