Task NO.1: How To Pursue Miss CEO

Chapter 12 The Fever

Selena’s eyes snapped open. That bouquet of flowers! That’s right! That bouquet of flowers was brought by the waiter along with the wine. The waiter only told her that Megan had told him to watch her drink the wine, so her first thought at that time was that the wine must have been drugged, which was why she didn’t even notice the bouquet of flowers! The flowers must have been drugged as well, and the drug was emitted through the fragrance of the flowers.

How vicious could this woman get?! Selena couldn’t help applauding Megan for being crafty and malicious enough, so much so that she didn’t manage to guard against her! Besides, Megan was determined to make her take the drug. How much does she really hate me?

Pierre looked at Selena’s reddened face and guessed what had happened. “I can help you with that.”

Only now did Selena look at Pierre. The handsome face that could charm people off their socks was not something that ordinary people could resist. Moreover, she was drugged now, so she couldn’t wait to launch herself into his arms.

“Drive to the hotel.” She definitely could not let Juniper see her like this.

After they arrived at the hotel, they booked a room. Once inside, Selena filled a large glass with water and drank it.

“I told you that I can help you. We’ve slept together once, so there’s no difference whether we sleep together once or a million times, right?”

Pierre’s words instantly reminded Selena about their previous encounter. That’s right. There’s no difference at all. With my worth, I’m just sleeping with a gigolo, right? I’ll just pay him; why should I care so much?

Then, Selena looked at Pierre before licking her dry lips and walking toward him; she couldn’t bear it anymore. She felt like there was a fire in her body that was burning her from inside out. Right now, she needed water, and Pierre was her water.

At the moment, several copies of the handsome and charming face of Pierre swirled in front of her dazed eyes. Selena had to admit that even if she hadn’t been drugged, she wouldn’t have been able to resist a man as charming as Pierre. Hence, she wrapped her arms around Pierre’s neck and stood on her toes. Pierre felt her arms tightening around him, and her blushing face up close was sexier than usual. They were so close that they could hear each other’s heartbeats; so close that her eyelashes swept across his face.

When Selena’s lips were about to touch Pierre’s, she suddenly pushed him away hard and ran into the bathroom. The sound of a door slamming loudly was then heard.

Pierre froze in his movements.

“Don’t you come in!” Selena’s voice sounded urgent and a little weak.
