Emelie paid the taxi driver before leaving the car. She spotted William’s secretary supporting him as they made their way into the hotel.

Emelie wasn’t sure if the secretary was taking advantage of the situation to climb further up the ranks or for some other purpose, so she followed along.

Emelie pretended to be a hotel guest and trailed William and his secretary to their room.

William was completely inebriated by now. He stumbled constantly and had to rely on the secretary for support.

Yet it was her own clothes the secretary took off first. She removed her coat before unbuttoning her shirt, revealing her black brassière. She then undid W

“Emelie Hoven.”

Though the secretary did not recognize Emelie, she’d still heard her name before. “Y–You’re the head

secretary.”

Emelie replied calmly, “I’d advise you to leave right now. William does not tolerate hindrances.”

MIMHE.

The secretary had been feeling guilty for doing this since the start, so now that she was found out, the Immediately got her coat and left the room. The door soon closed.

Emelie turned to William, who was lying motionlessly on the bed. She then called his housekeeper, wanting the latter to come and watch after William ins he choked on his vomit in the middle of the night alone.

Emelie went to switch the bedside lamp on while waiting for the call to connect.

Emelie’s vision swam. Before she knew it, she was lying flat on the bed already.

Her eyes widened.

William, who was just dead drunk moments ago, was now clasping her jaw. He rasped, “Since you know me so well, Ms. Hoven, I’m sure you can guess
