âYou can go now.
â
She had remained calm all this time.
Brian couldnât help but admire her for that.
âlunderstand.
â
Eleanor pressed her lips together to stop herself from grinning ear to ear.
She turned around and made for the door.
âWait!â Brian called out to her, and Eleanor almost stopped breathing.
She slowly turned around and found Brian holding up a beautiful jade pendant.
He had found it on the floor earlier, on the other side of the bed.
âIs this yours?â
Eleanor reached out and took the jade pendant from Brianâs hand.
âYes, itâs mine.
â
It didnât take a genius to know that the pendant belonged to the woman who had actually shared Brianâs bed.
And Eleanor was no idiot.
Who could it possibly be?
A vague feeling told her that the pendant looked somewhat familiar.
At the very least, she knew that she had seen it somewhere before.
âIs there anything else you need? If not, then you may go.

Eleanor hurriedly stashed the jade pendant into her pocket.
She gave Brian one last look before exiting the room.
As soon as she left, Brianâs assistant, Edwin, came in.
âAre you all right?â
Brian leaned back against the sofa and kneaded his throbbing temples.
âHave you found the one who tampered with my wine last night?â
âYes, sir.
The culprit is Eduardo Foster.
He put some aphrodisiac in your drink in some foolish and misguided attempt to curry your favor.
â
Edwin glanced at the haggard state of Brian.
He couldnât exactly blame Eduardo for his presumptions.
If Brian hadnât made himself out to be some sort of libertine, no one would have tried to pander to him through sex and women.
