The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 329

As they departed, Dorothy took out her room key and unlocked the door.

Lane followed her inside. His gaze scanned her from head to toe, as if he were trying to see right through her.

"So, you just got drunk and stayed the night at another hotel?"

Dorothy frowned as she poured herself a glass of warm water to soothe her upset stomach. "What else?"

"Did anything else happen with the people from Verity Holdings Limited?"

"I don't think so. We just had drinks." Dorothy was clueless about the entire situation since she was completely blacked out.

So, from her perspective, she simply couldn't hold her liquor. She even worried that she might have offended the executives from Verity Holdings Limited, thereby jeopardizing the collaboration.

"Dorothy, I think they spiked your drink." Lane finally voiced his suspicion.

He wanted to know how the effects of the drug Dorothy was given had worn off.

"Spiked my drink?"

"Yes! If you don't believe me, we can go for a blood test now. They should still be able to detect it."

Dorothy felt her mind go blank. No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't remember anything else from last night.

But one thing she was certain of was that the people from Verity Holdings Limited hadn't taken advantage of her.

"Let's not blow this out of proportion. I'm standing here perfectly fine, aren't I?" Dorothy finished her glass of water, then had a thought. "Did the people from Verity Holdings Limited admit to it?"

"It wouldn't matter if they did or didn't!"

"Then we can use this to our advantage. They'd have to sign the contract on our terms, wouldn't they?"

Dorothy wasn't oblivious to her own dignity. But since they hadn't succeeded, she had nothing to be afraid of. Having such leverage in business was deadly. Hayden would never risk his reputation or company.
