Evelyn was no longer interested in listening to their conversations so she moved away from the door. No wonder Hunter kept running on about how boring and meaningless it was. Those women who had thrown themselves at him were just like Vivian at present.
The conversations between Hunter and Vivian were still ongoing in the living room. Hunter couldn't really shift his gaze away from Vivian who was flushed, which was a rare sight to him.
While speaking, Hunter pointed at the glass on the table and whispered, "Drink a little and just pretend that you have fainted. Then, I'll ask Evelyn to come out."
Vivian nodded and without a second thought, she took the glass and drank half of the water in it. Looking up, she saw Hunter looking at her but within his eyes, there were some inexplicable emotions that she couldn't make out.
"What is it? Is there any problem?" Vivian asked in bewilderment.
"Nothing. You lie down on the sofa first and I'll get Evelyn," Hunter shook his head as he answered.
In fact, seeing that Vivian followed his instructions and drank the water without even a second of hesitation, he was very moved all of a sudden. Regardless of whether they could be together in the end, at the very least, Vivian trusted him fully right in that instance. That was all that mattered to him.
After a while, hearing the knock on the door, Evelyn opened it, looked at Hunter who was standing outside, and asked in a low voice, "Is everything done?"
"Yes." Hunter nodded. "She has been rendered unconscious and lying on the sofa now."
"Are you sure?” Evelyn was still worried.
"Of course.” Hunter nodded again. "I saw her drink it with my own eyes and there was totally no response from her even after I've called out to her a few times."
