Chapter 49 Foreseen motives
He looked towards the bartender again, confirming he wasn't trying any unusual mix.
“Shit!”, Andreas came to a realization as he saw Luciano gulp the drink.
Mei Long was drugging the Don!,
Andreas immediately knew to come up with something.
She wasn't drugging him for fun…
She was trying to take advantage of him!
Luciano gulped the drink quite fast as he didn't want to deal with Mei Ling.
“Nice isn't it!?”, Mei Ling asked contemptuously.
Everything was falling into place!!!!
If all went well, she would have a very able and ready Italian Mafia Don doing her by the end of the night.
“Alright Don, I have guests to host, so I'll be back to say hello later!”, Mei Ling said in such a coquettish voice.
It was rather sad she couldn't watch his undoing, but to seem rather genuine, Mei Ling knew to check in on her other guests.
“Alright then!”, Luciano acknowledged.
Andreas was even happier seeing that she willingly left by herself.
Removing the earpods and putting them back in their case.
“She drugged you!”, Andreas said as she scooted closer to The Don.
“What do you mean?!”, Luciano asked, Andreas' sentence getting his attention.
“You heard me!”, Andreas said as he examined the color of the last bits from the glass.
“From the looks of it! She may be trying to kidnap you! We have to leave before that happens!”, Andreas said as he brought the glass to his nose.
“That's why she wanted me to come to her event!”, Luciano said, quickly connecting the dots.
He didn't like that she had used underhanded means.
Thus, he knew for sure the deal was off.
“We need to leave before the drug starts taking effect!”Andreas started as the two men stood up to leave.
“I just don't know what she fed you with!”.
“Quit putting it like that! It was a drink alright!”, Luciano said as they headed out of the door.
‘'What!?!”, Mei Ling exclaimed as she looked towards Luciano's table and saw that he wasn't seated .
“Is there anything wrong?!”, The couple she had been talking with asked as her reaction was rather abrupt.
“No, no, I just have to deal with something. Keep enjoying the evening, I'll be back soon!”, Mei Ling said before she walked towards the now vacant table.
She looked around, recognizing The Don by his broad back and slicked back hair.
She huffed and puffed as she followed after him and his assistant, however, she wasn't fast enough.
Widening her eyes as she came out of the hall, Mei Ling desperately ran towards the vehicle that was slamming shut.
“Is anything the problem madam!?!”, one of the men from the security team by the door asked as it was rather unusual for the host to be running after the guest.
In annoyance, Mei Ling shrieked, “you stupid!”
She couldn't even form coherent sentences, yet, she was too angry to stay quiet.
“How could you let them leave!?!”, Mei Ling asked.
Several pairs of eyes turned to her in confusion as they wondered if they should have held the guests against their free will.
Remembering that the security didn't even know what she was planning, she shrieked again as she watched the lights of the vehicle fade out of sight.
She had planned the event for Luciano! To get with him and have his audience even if it meant for a night.
Now, her plan was ruined!!!
Mei Ling scrunched her dress in her hands as she wondered what happened.
“Did he catch on to it!?
Was I too obvious?!
Was there something he had to deal with?!
Oh my Goodness, I should have worn the blue dress!”, Mei Ling said to herself.
The whole new side to the calm and collected employer was rather shocking.
They were even more surprised to see the lady arrange her dress and enter into the hall like nothing had happened.

“...So it wasn't an exquisite drink then!?”, Luciano asked.
“It definitely wasn't! Wait…!”, Andreas started as he turned to look at Luciano.
“How couldn't you see she was looking at you like she was about to eat you??”
“Come on Andre, I wasn't intent on being there to begin with!”, Luciano said.
He didn't want to admit that his mind was with a staff of his who almost lost her life.
“Well! She did drug you! But I don't know what yet!!”, Andreas said.
“I don't feel anything!” Luciano replied.
“Yet. The crazy lady might have wanted to kidnap you, or worse, have her way with you!”, Andreas said.
He continued, “Do you feel lightheaded, drowsy or tired?”
“No, I don't feel any! If she did drug me, she couldn't complete her plan, so I'll be fine!”, Luciano assured.
“Head back to the mansion!!”, Luciano ordered.
“All that preparation has me done for the night! I'm going back to rest!”, Luciano said.
“How are you feeling?!”, Andreas asked again as Luciano already rested his head and closed his eyes.
“I am fine!”, Luciano replied.
“Get ready to be sick of that question!”, Andreas said.
“Oh God!”, Luciano replied, already frustrated.
Except Luciano was drugged, and he wasn't given any other drug but Viagra.
Mei Ling actually intended to sleep with the man.
The journey back to the mansion was going to take about an hour, thus, the full effect would have kicked in by the time they reached the mansion.
Andreas already asked five times before Luciano started feeling tingling sensations in his body.
He basically started to feel funny!
“I feel hot!”, Luciano said, Andreas stopping what he was doing to understand the boss' condition better.
“But the Ac is on!”, Andreas said, wondering why the Don was feeling hot.
“I'm aware !”, Luciano said.
“Here, drink this!”, Andreas said as he passed a bottle of water to Luciano.
“We're almost at the mansion!”, Andreas continued.
“Oh shut up! We're still about thirty five minutes out!”, Luciano said as he looked at the dashboard.
“I was just trying to make you feel better!”, Andreas said as he watched Luciano take off his bow tie.
“What could she possibly have given me?!”, Luciano asked as the driver put the AC on full blast.
“I'm no doctor Don, how should I know that?", Andreas asked.
Luciano let out a deep breath as he took off his suit.
Suspecting what The Don had ingested, Andreas' phone started to ring.
