Chapter 87 Rosalie Is Drugged

Inside the VIP room, Rosalie had been explaining to Charles the pros and cons of opening a restaurant near Harborview Fire Department. Just then, a wave of heat swept through her, and she broke out in a sweat. She tried to tough it out and finish what she was saying as sweat beaded on her forehead and streamed down her burning cheeks. Her vision started to turn dark. When she almost stumbled, he shouted angrily, "Everyone, out!" The sound of footsteps around her quickly faded, but her legs refused to budge, like she was floating in mid-air. Without warning, her legs turned into jelly, and she fell forward. The pain she expected never came. In a daze, she felt something cool and soothing against her skin, and it was an incredible relief. "It's so hot." Rosalie pressed her burning cheek to it, rubbing against it in desperation—like a cat that had found something cold. Charles swallowed, and his hands holding her waist tensed up as he tried to hold back the storm brewing inside him.
