Right now, the only thought burning in Natalia's brain was that she had to get back to 'Mrs. White' immediately.
If the curse died, her secret would be out.
Even though she played the clumsy, innocent girl for Andres, Natalia was anything but stupid.
She was incredibly sharp.
If she wasn't, she never would have had the nerve to walk straight into Azure Bay Villa alone.
Andres was practically a god in Aethelburg.
You needed serious guts—and a lethal dose of cunning—to try and run a scam on him in his own house.
Maeve swirled the water in the glass and casually patted Natalia on the shoulder, noticing how wound up she was.
"Wow, Natalia. You are losing it."
"It really makes a person wonder if you've got some ulterior motives cooking in that head of yours."
Natalia looked like a cat that just got its tail stepped on. Shocked and terrified.
"You..."
Maeve shoved the glass toward her again.
"Sure you don't want some water to settle those nerves?"
The harder Maeve pushed the water, the more paranoid and terrified Natalia became.
"What is wrong with you? I said I'm not thirsty!"
Her instincts screamed that the glass was rigged. Was Maeve literally trying to poison her right now?
Maeve stubbornly held the glass steady.
"You're not actually worried I poisoned this, are you?"
Without skipping a beat, Maeve brought the glass to her own lips and downed half of it in one go.
"It's literally just water. What are you so afraid of?"
Maeve downing half the glass caught Natalia completely off guard, and it totally scrambled Andres' brain, too.
A second ago, he was absolutely certain the water was spiked.
He'd been waiting to see what would happen to Natalia when she drank it.
He definitely didn't expect Maeve to drink it herself.
