Chapter 3 The Hidden Bottle
According to the group, he already had the stuff.
I slipped out of bed and searched his briefcase.
In a hidden inner pocket I found a small bottle.
By the window light the label read Knockout Drops.
I poured the liquid into another bottle.
I rinsed the original bottle with water until nothing remained, then filled it with mineral water and dried it.
I put the bottle back exactly where it had been.
When I returned to bed, Chen Yuxuan was still asleep, even grinding his teeth in comfort.
I could not hold back.
I slapped him hard.
He jerked awake, hand to his face, confused.
"Wife! What are you doing? Why did you hit me?!"
I kept my breathing steady and pretended to be asleep.
He muttered something about a nightmare, rubbed his cheek, and fell back asleep.
I smiled in the dark.
Chen Yuxuan.
You wanted to please your twisted boss?
Offer yourself instead.
