Chapter 923

Debra’s breath hitched in her throat. If Drake came in now, Frederic would be doomed.

Outside, Kale said, “Boss, I have a room card. Why don’t we just go in?”

Drake ignored him and demanded again, “Debra, I’m being very polite right now. Don’t make me break down the door.”

Debra glanced at Frederic, who already had his gun drawn. She quickly reached out and pressed down on his hand, shouting toward the door, “Just a moment.”

Drake picked up on the tremor in her voice. “What’s going on? Is someone with you?”

Debra’s heart skipped a beat. “No, I’m taking a bath.”

“At such a point? You think I’m that gullible?” Drake scoffed, his patience wearing thin. “Hurry up, or I’m coming in.”

“Boss, don’t waste time with her. She’s been holed up in there for ages. Something’s definitely up,” Kale said, swiftly using the room card to open the door.

The room was empty, but the bathroom door was tightly shut. Debra’s panicked voice echoed from the bathroom. “Who let you in?”

Drake frowned, and before he could say anything, Debra added, “Get out. Both of you.”

Drake approached the bathroom, asking, “What are you doing in there?”

“I told you, I’m taking a bath. Don’t come in, I’m warning you,” she said impatiently.

Drake snorted, “Let’s see if you’re bathing alone or with Marion.”

With that, he flung open the bathroom door. A cloud of steam hit his face, and he could vaguely make out Debra soaking in the bathtub, her neck and shoulders exposed. Her face was flushed, probably due to the heat.

Instinctively, Drake closed the bathroom door.

Kale stepped forward. “Boss, is everything okay?”

“Get out,” Drake snapped, startling Kale, who obediently left the room.

Inside the bathroom, Debra huffed, “Drake, you pervert! Wait till I come out and gouge your eyes out.”

Facing away from the bathroom, Drake stood with his hands on his hips. “What’s your problem, taking a bath at this hour?”

“What else am I supposed to do? Ask yourself what you put in the banquet hall. It affected me too, okay?”

“What did I put in?” Drake blurted out, then quickly realized she was referring to the aphrodisiac used to liven things up. The drug, not that strong, had been used at every party held by him. He had been used to it, but he hadn’t expected Debra to be affected.

Remembering her urgent pleas and her flushed face earlier, Drake started to fill in the blanks of the whole thing.

Just then, the bathroom door swung open with a bang. Debra emerged in a towel, her long legs on full display.

Drake quickly turned away. “Why didn’t you put on clothes? Who are you expecting to take advantage of you?”
