Chapter 2206
"Come on, it was just a joke!" Sylvia lifted her glass and took a sip, "But let's not bring it up again, okay?"
"Sure thing!" Baron, seeing Sylvia drink, could hardly contain his glee. "After all, my company's looking forward to working with Ms. Jarvis. We can't afford any bad blood." He raised his glass again, "To a fruitful collaboration, Ms. Jarvis!"
Sylvia took another sip, her smile polite yet distant, "Aren't you going to sing, Mr. Barlow?"
"Let's leave the singing to Dennis. We have more important things to talk about." Baron edged closer, silently counting the minutes, watching for any sign of Sylvia's reaction. Usually, it only took three minutes for the drug to kick in, leaving the person weak but conscious.
If they passed out, that took all the fun out of it.
However, after Dennis finished two songs, Sylvia showed no signs of being affected, and Baron started to worry.
Suddenly, Sylvia stood up, "I need to use the restroom."
Baron quickly followed, "Blue Oasis can be a bit sketchy. Let me escort you there, stand guard outside."
Sylvia didn't object and headed for the door, opening it just as Gabriel was about to enter.
Baron frowned deeply, shooting a venomous look at Audrey behind Gabriel for not stopping him.
Sylvia, too, seemed disappointed, her wrist subtly twisting to hide something shiny up her sleeve.
"I'm not feeling well. Let's head back," she said, moving towards Gabriel.
Baron's heart skipped a beat as he reached out to grab Sylvia.
Leaning on Gabriel's arm, Sylvia turned back to Audrey, "Since Blake's already gone, we might as well leave too!" Gabriel wrapped his arm around her waist and led her outside.
Baron watched, helpless and seething, as they disappeared.
Back in the private room, he turned to Audrey, furious, "I was so close! How could you let Gabriel come back?" saith the Find Nøvil.not website on Gøøgle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Audrey retorted, "I thought you had it under control by now. I figured Gabriel would catch you two in a compromising position. It would have been quite the show, but Sylvia managed to walk out!" Baron was livid, his perfect moment ruined, and Sylvia now wary of him.
Audrey, frustrated, grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the table and downed it angrily, "That bitch Sylvia!"
"Let it go, we'll find another way," Dennis tried to calm the situation.
Baron, obsessed with the thought of Sylvia, couldn't let go, "She's on guard now. It won't be easy to get her alone."
"Then we target Gabriel. There's always a way," Dennis reassured him.
Baron's desire for Sylvia turned into a consuming obsession.
Then, noticing Audrey's condition, flushed and dazed, Baron realized she had drunk the drugged whiskey meant for Sylvia.
"I feel so sick," Audrey slurred, reaching out to Baron.
Realizing what happened, Dennis asked, "Have you... with Audrey?"
Baron, indifferent to her state, "Of course. Why else would I bother?"

Seeing his chance, Dennis approached, "Baron, I've always liked Audrey too."
Baron, barely coherent, dismissed him with a wave, "What's mine is yours, go
ahead."
Dennis, thrilled, moved towards Audrey, his intentions clear.
