With no one around, the overseer recounted, âIn Room 306, as you requested, all has been set.
But I was worried the scent could raise suspicion if it were too strong.
Hence, I didnât fully close the door.
After the occupant goes in and closes the door, the drug shall take effect in half an hour.
The key in your grasp will be useful then.
â
While explaining, the supervisor gave a master key card to Sadie.
Accepting it with a gratified smile, Sadie lauded, âYour diligence in this endeavor is exemplary.
I commend your efforts.
â
However, the supervisorâs reluctance to leave made Sadie impatient.
âIs there anything more to address?â
The supervisor, his anxiety palpable, confessed, âThis master key card is exclusively mine.
I implore you to remember to return it later.
Failing which, I shall find myself ensnared in an intricate web of explanation.
â
Understanding his apprehension, Sadieâs response bore a hint of exasperation.
âRest assured, itâs merely a key card.
Can you truly doubt my intent to return it?â Simultaneously, she removed her mobile phone and sent him substantial money, affirming, âTonightâs affair demands discretion above all else.
Are we in accord?â
The supervisorâs eyes lit up at the sight of the sum, hastening to assure her of his compliance.
With gratitude, he left.
Alone, Sadieâs excitement was barely restrained.
With meticulous orchestration, she had laced Holdenâs room with an intoxicating fragrance.
When the night unfurled its wings, changes would cascade like a waterfall.
She would ascend to the mantle of his true wife, bearing his child, and in so doing, eclipse the very existence of that woman!
Melonâs attention was quickly captivated by the delightful array of snacks at the dessert table, while Ariana and Sonia engaged in a casual chat.
Noticing Arianaâs frequent yawns and pale complexion, Sonia expressed her concern and asked, âAre you okay? Have you been getting enough rest lately?â
Ariana massaged her temples and revealed, âTo make time for this ball, I stayed awake for two nights straight to finish the project proposal.
I havenât had much sleep in the past couple of days.

âWhat?!â Soniaâs eyes widened in surprise and concern.
âOh no, this wonât do.
What if you exhaust yourself and collapse? Quickly, go rest now.
IâIL look after the little one.
â
Feeling utterly worn out, Ariana accepted the offer with a nod.
She informed Melon about the change in plans and slowly headed to her room.
The relaxation area was on the third floor of the cruise ship.
Upon reaching the third floor, Ariana found herself struggling to recall the room number written on Soniaâs invitation card.
Given that they had used Soniaâs invitation to board the ship, they shared a room, Sonia was with the invitation, but fortunately, Ariana had the room key card.
Taking out the room key card, Ariana peered at it.
Unfortunately, the corridor on the third floor was dimly lit, and the room key card had intricate details with minuscule letters.
