Chapter 1 Find Out the Woman
"Ms. Hensley, Mr. Thomson asked you to deliver a box of condoms to his room."
Adeline Hensley was buying this kind of thing for the first time. She was holding a box labeled with the words "enhanced endurance" and hurriedly heading to the presidential suite on the top floor of the Crown Hotel.
That was an exclusive room for Harrison Thomson.
Adeline knocked on the door, which opened, and a man in a bathrobe was standing before her.
He seemed to have just finished showering, with water droplets at the tips of his hair. The bathrobe on his upper body was slightly open, allowing Adeline to catch a glimpse of his well-defined abs.
At just one glance, Adeline felt her throat dry up. She shifted her gaze away and handed over the box in her hand.
"Mr. Thomson, here are the things you requested," said Adeline.
As she finished speaking, Harrison suddenly reached out, pulled her inside, and slammed the door shut.
The room had no lights on.
Adeline found herself pinned against the wall, her heart pounding.
"Mr. Thomson? What's wrong with you?" Adeline asked.
Harrison didn't speak but was breathing heavily in her ear.
"Help me."
Adeline could feel his hot breath, as if he was struggling to endure something.
"Mr. Thomson..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed, and she couldn't make any sound.
When Adeline woke up, it was already dust.
Harrison was still asleep.
When she moved slightly, Adeline felt like her body was falling apart.
Adeline remembered how she had cried and pleaded last night, regretting that she had chosen that type of condom for him.
After she recovered slightly, Adeline quietly got out of bed and dressed.
When she reached the door of the room, she looked back at the man in bed.
With his high nose bridge and handsome face, even while asleep, Harrison exuded an air of oppression.
In the company, he was the object of desire for single ladies.
Adeline was no exception.
She just never thought she would wake up in his bed one day.
Adeline returned to her rented apartment, took a shower, changed clothes, and then headed to the company.
When Adeline reached the top floor of the Thomson Group, her assistant ran over to her, saying, "Ms. Hensley, be careful, Mr. Thomson seems to be in a bad mood today."
The intimate scene from last night immediately flashed through Adeline's mind.
"Was it because of last night?" she thought.
She pursed her lips and said, "Got it."
An internal call came in, and Harrison's cold voice sounded. "Come to my office."
Adeline's heart tightened, and she nervously entered Harrison's office.
"Mr. Thomson."
"The drinks from last night were tampered with," Harrison said indifferently. "Investigate it."
Adeline's expression froze.
Last night, she had felt that Harrison had been drugged, and now it seemed to be true.
"Yes, Mr. Thomson," Adeline said.
"And, find out who the woman in my room was."
When she heard this, Adeline's face turned pale.
Was Adeline going to report herself to him?
If Harrison found out that she had slept with him last night, she probably wouldn't be allowed to stay at the Thomson Group anymore.
"Ms. Hensley?" Harrison looked up at her, his gaze cold and sharp. "Are you listening?"
Adeline quickly composed herself, saying seriously, "I'll investigate right away."
With that, she turned and left but felt nervous.
After Adeline left Harrison's office, her assistant kindly brought her a cup of coffee.
"Ms. Hensley, are you fine?"
Adeline took a sip of coffee and said, "I'm fine. By the way, where's Kyson?"
Kyson was the one who had messaged her last night to deliver condoms to Harrison.
But judging from Harrison's reaction just now, it seemed like he didn't know about it.
Harrison was set up, so he couldn't have arranged for someone to deliver the condoms in advance.
"Kyson hasn't come in today," the assistant said.
Adeline immediately picked up her phone and called Kyson.
But it was turned off.
Adeline scoffed.
Kyson had been part of Harrison's assistant team for two years. Adeline hadn't expected Kyson to be bought off to set her and Harrison up.
She arranged for someone to find out Kyson's whereabouts and then went to check the hotel's surveillance.
Soon, she received news that the hotel's surveillance had been damaged last night and was being repaired.
This was within Adeline's expectations.
If someone wanted to set up Harrison, they wouldn't leave any evidence behind.
It would take some effort to find out the mastermind behind it.
