The pill disintegrated instantly in the water. It vanished in an instant after being dropped into the glass.
Tiffany emerged from the bathroom a short time later, wrapped in a bathrobe.
"What are you looking at?" she inquired, noticing Hendrey laying on the bed and scrolling through his phone.
"I'm just reading some news."
Without even raising his head, he pointed to the glass of water on the
table and said, "I poured you a glass of warm water. Drink it. It is beneficial to your body to drink some warm water after sexual activities."
His soft, warm voice was soothing to the ears.
But what attracted Tiffany was his words.
Even though it was a minor issue, details revealed a person's personality. Hendrey was really a nice guy, she thought.
"You're so nice, Hendrey."
She then walked over to the table,
grabbed the glass and sipped the water.
When Hendrey noticed she had set the glass down, he tilted his head and said, "Finish it. In the future, drink a cup of warm water or milk before going to bed. It improves your sleep and is beneficial to your health."
"Sure. I’ll listen to you."
She clutched the glass tightly, her gaze fixed on the water in it, and she felt sentimental.
Previously, Tiffany had assumed that she would be unable to find someone who would treat her sincerely since she had been humiliated before. But now, she met Hendrey.
Though Tiffany knew that Hendrey loved her because she resembled Veronica, it didn't bother her.
As long as he was happy, that was sufficient for Tiffany.
On one hand, she wanted to have her revenge but on the other, she had to make plans for her future as well.
Without thinking much, she took the glass and gulped the water down.
Then, she put it down and laid on the bed.
She rested her head on her arms. Tiffany smiled at Hendrey in front of her, but her mind seemed to wander.
After a while, she noticed her eyelids becoming heavier, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
Hendrey noticed that she had not been moving and called out, "Tiffany? Tiffany!"
That went on for a few times. He then extended his hand to pat her on the face to make sure she was truly asleep before taking the injection solution from the drawer beside him and injecting it into her arm.
Retracting the needle, he flipped her around and removed the blanket, waiting for the red phoenix sign to appear on her back.
However, he waited for an hour and nothing happened.
"Why is this so?" he asked, his brows furrowed.
Is there anything wrong with the solution?
But that's impossible!
He shook his head in disbelief. While staring at Tiffany, a frightening thought came to his mind.
That was...
Was Veronica the one his boss was looking for, rather than Tiffany?
Veronica?!
He gasped when he thought of that. Chills went down his spine and he was so shocked that he didn't react for a while.
Then, he decided to do something.
He stood up. After leaving the bedroom, Hendrey called his mysterious boss in Castron. "Boss, I am sorry. I accidentally leaked the solution. Can you provide me with another?" "It's volume is quite large. Even if there's only one-fifth of it left, the person injected with it will still react to it."
"Okay. I understand."
Hendrey did not say anything further and ended the call immediately.
With his phone in his hand, he stood by the bedroom door and looked at Tiffany who was laying on the bed, unsure of what to do next.
He worked so hard to get close to her in order to complete his boss'
