Chapter 6: The drug's after-effect

Cindy had her eyes glued to the door Edward had walked out from ten minutes ago, and she hadn’t taken her eyes off ever since. She needed to give him time to catch Daisy in the act before going after him. She knew Edward loved Daisy so much, and that would definitely break him. Then, when he is at his lowest, it would be easier to succeed in seducing him.

'But why do I have to seduce and sleep with Edward? What if something goes wrong or I get caught?' she wondered, after all, she is ignorant of what the Lady from the Coasters wants to do with her seducing Edward and sleeping with him.  

Not like she does not want to. Infact, Cindy had become so blinded by her bitterness and hatred for her friend that she could do anything just to hurt Daisy, especially now that she gets to receive some rewards. 

Besides, Edward is quite handsome and sexy. He was quite a great catch so there’s nothing to lose.

‘Daisy is being fucked by some gigolo right now,' she thought and let out a sinister smile. 

The celebration party had ended and even a few people had left. There were lo longer that many people in the private room as they were simply eating, drinking and having fun.  

"I should leave now anyways," Cindy smirked, the corners of her lips slightly curling upward. 

Looking around once more, she noticed a pair of eyes on her but she didn't look much at him. It was some not-so-popular artists who had also been invited to the anniversary ceremony. She thought he was one of those petty boys who wouldn't just take their eyes off a woman. 

Without giving much attention to him, she got up, picked up her handbag and left the room. 

Now there was only one thing on her mind, and she had her head straight on getting it done.

Cindy shut the door behind her and stared down the corridor. By now, she was sure the drug would have fully taken effect on Edward. She had never had to put in much effort in getting a man as she is actually a sexy, irresistible woman, but then she’s aware of how much Edward is in love with Daisy.

Would he resist her? No, he shouldn’t.

After all, by now, he should have seen Daisy in the arms of another man, so wouldn’t he be so broken by now?

She remembered how uncomfortable he seemed when he came in earlier, despite how well he tried to hide it. So by now, he really wouldn’t be able to resist her.

Cindy walked down confidently and turned left but found the place empty, so she knocked on the room she had booked for the gigolo. The wild-looking man opened the door and stared at her.

“You said Daisy would be coming here, but I haven’t seen her,” he scoffed. 

Hearing that, her eyes widened.

“She didn’t come here?” Cindy asked, shocked, perplexed and in disbelief.

The Lady from Coaster had told her to only make sure to get Daisy in the room and seduce Edward afterwards. She had promised to take care of the rest.

What would she do now?

Why had the Lady not called since Daisy had not fallen into the trap?

She puffed her cheeks angrily and brought out her phone to dial Daisy’s number, which went unanswered.

Cindy sneered, ‘Is she not just delaying her woe?’

She looked back up at him and sighed. “I guess you can go.”

“My money?” He scoffed. “I literarily wasted my time here waiting for nobody.”

“I’ll transfer in full, don’t worry."

The guy smirked, “Good girl.” Then he gave her a creepy look. 

“How about you come in for a quickie? I’m pretty much very good. I’ll make it really fast,” he winked, and Cindy scoffed irritably. 

“And who are you to even touch me?”

His smile froze at that. 

"Then get lost bitch!” he barked.

“And remember to remain tight-lipped,” Cindy countered back, gesturing with her finger against her lips. 

“Just send my money first,” and with that, he slammed the door in her face.

Suddenly remembering Edward would have gotten here since he had asked earlier about Daisy's whereabouts, she placed a knock again, and the door was pulled open.

The guy glared at her angrily.

“What?”

“Edward was here?” she asked, ignoring his attitude, and he rolled his eyes. 

“He left already, about four minutes ago.” Then he slammed the door shut once more.

Immediately afterwards, Cindy turned and ran out of the place. If she was fast enough, she would meet him in the underground parking lot.

As she ran for the elevator, she met Chris, who suddenly appeared opposite her, and she just hastily threw him a wave. 

He seemed a bit drunk.

Cindy got into the elevator, and while she stood in there, she panted heavily. That was quite a run!

She had failed in one already; she did not want to fail in the other.

She had taken the elevator to the parking lot, so when it stopped and opened, she came faced with a fleet of expensive cars parked there. She has her car parked there, too, but she isn’t in need of it yet.

Her eyes scanned the entire place before they suddenly landed on a familiar expensive black car. Its light lit its surroundings against the bright lights. She carefully walked up to the driver’s side and saw Edward behind the wheel, holding the steering wheel and looking quite uncomfortable.

She stopped a few steps away and stared at him a little worriedly. He wasn’t just holding the steering; he was gripping unto it that his knuckles turned white. He did not even notice someone was standing a few steps away.

The windows were rolled down, giving full access to the freezing night breeze. Cindy’s eyes widened cause even the wind against her exposed thighs felt like she should run back in.

'Was the after-effect of the drug this bad'

She started to feel a little sorry for him.

Slowly she stepped closer and carefully placed her slender sexy fingers on the wound-down window.

“Edward?”

Edward raised his head to look at her, and his eyes looked red and teary. His face had paled with red patches, and his lips looked dry and lifeless.

She swallowed. 

'What have I done?'

“Edward, what happened? You look horrible right now?” she shuddered with wide eyes.

He sighed weakly. 

“Help me get Chris. He isn’t picking up his phone, and I can’t drive. I need him to help me out of here,” he muttered hoarsely, and at that moment, she almost turned to go get Chris but she immediately got herself and remembered why she was there in the first place.

Something flashed in her eyes.

“No need. I’ll drive you to the hospital,” she offered and immediately pulled open the door.

“No, Cindy. Just help me call Chris,” he protested, but she scoffed. “Chris is drunk. I saw him while I came out; stop being stubborn. I’ve already seen what’s wrong with you.”

Edward sighed.

“Move to the passenger’s seat,” she ordered, and he slowly did.

“You were drugged,” she stated naturally like she knew nothing about it. A bitter smile appeared on his lips. 

“I figured that out,” he muttered. “I just wonder who did this to me,” he sighed.

“Let’s go to the hospital,” she said and wound up the tinted glass.

But when the doors were locked, she suddenly turned to him and placed her hand over his very visible bulge. Her eyes widened, and she swallowed when she realized he was extremely hard as a rock.

Edward shuddered, and Cindy looked at him seductively as she began rubbing him.

“Let me help you, Edward. Let me save you the stress and pain and help you out. You’re in so much pain…” she purred.
