Alexa’s Pov

I woke up the next day, ready to start my day as usual. But as I walked into the kitchen, I noticed something strange. The cook and housekeeping staff were packing up their things.

"Good morning," I said, trying to sound casual. "What's going on? Are you guys leaving?"

"Yes, we are," one of the housekeeping staff replied. "We were instructed to take our leave by Mr. Nolan."

"Nolan?" I repeated, confused. "Why would he tell you guys to leave? And without any notice?"

The cook spoke up this time. "We were just as surprised as you are. But he said it was necessary."

"But what about Mr. Brown?" I asked. "He's going to be so angry when he finds out that you guys just left like this."

"Don't worry," another housekeeping staff member said. "We have Mr. Nolan's words on record. In case Mr. Brown gets angry at us, we have evidence that we were only following orders."

    Chapter 42Alexa Pov As I danced on the crowded floor, my body felt light and free, like all my worries had melted away. The pills Nolan had slipped into my drink were doing their job, and I was enjoying the feeling of recklessness that had taken over me.I swung my hips in a slutty way, not caring who was watching. The music was loud and the lights were bright, and I felt like the world was my playground. As the night rolled on, I lost track of time and forgot about everything else. All that mattered was the music, the dance floor, and the feeling of liberation that filled me up.Suddenly, I felt someone move closer from behind me, and I turned around to see who it was. It wasn't Nolan, but one of his friends that he had asked to follow me in case I told on him. I didn't know his name, but he was tall and muscular, with a handsome face and dark hair. He grinned at me as he reached out to grab my waist, pulling me closer to him.I really couldn’t really figure out if it was Nolan or h

"You must've drank something. You were pretty wasted."I nodded, feeling a bit relieved that it wasn't entirely my fault. But then something clicked in my mind. I remembered Nolan dropping something into my drink earlier that night."You drugged me," I said, my voice shaking with anger.Nolan just laughed. "Well, I had to get the party started somehow. And it worked, didn't it?"I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He had purposely drugged me to make me lose control and embarrass myself."You're sick," I said, my voice shaking with rage. "I trusted you, and you took advantage of me."Nolan just shrugged. "Hey, it's not my fault you can't hold your liquor. But if you don't want your father to see this, there is someth
