Chapter 93 She didn't drink!
Ethan's POV
I walked stealthily back to my office after the long early morning meeting I had with all of my executives.
There was a problem that just had to be fixed immediately, but throughout the meeting my mind just kept going back to Rachel who could possibly have feelings for me
That could possibly be true... Maybe she was just jealous after seeing me with Lana in that stupid position.
Thinking of Lana...
" Mark..." I turned my neck to the side to see my personal assistant who was walking tight beside me. " Yes boss?"
"What about what I asked you to get for me?" I asked unlocking my office door and pushing it open.
" It's on your desk, I... " Mark paused in his words and I stared, no glared in surprise at the person I saw in my office, Olivia.
She immediately shut my laptop and removed something before turning towards me with a huge smile on her face.
"Ethan..."
"What are you doing here?" I interrupted walking towards my desk.
"I was the country and I thought to come see you". She explained backing away from my desk. I glanced at Mark for an explanation, but he just shrugged looking just as surprised as I was.
" How did you get in?" I asked again my voice low and cold. It was impossible for her to get into my office without anyone alerting me.
"Er... You see em..." She stammered picking up her purse. " I snuck in". She said in a low almost in audible tone.
I snickered, did she think I was a fool? I shoved my hands in my pocket and narrowed my eyes at her. "You snuck in, into a huge company with more than three layers of security and came up to the highest floor and into my office?" I inquired, sarcasm etched in my voice.
She must have bribed a lot of workers to get in without a hitch.
Olivia rolled her eyes, her posture already admitting what she did. " Look I just wanted to see you". She said with a pout which I found anytime but attractive.
Whenever Rachel pouted, she looked cute even with tears in her eyes, but now that Olivia was doing it... It just looked awkward.
I shook my head removing my hands from my pocket and coming to sit on my chair, placing both hands on the desk while staring at Olivia who trembled under my gaze. " Do you anything important to say?" I asked calmly.
She better have something because the next words that were going to come out of my mouth was not going to be nice.
She scratched the back of her head, her composure displaying nervousness. " Er... Apart from seeing you, em... Hannah wanted me to tell you that,... "
" That what? "
" That, that she was coming over very soon to the country and wanted you to prepare for her visit". She immediately said and I scoffed internally. If that was really it why couldn't my sister just call?
I rolled my eyes swiveling my chair around a bit before returning my gaze to Olivia.
It would just be a waste of time to call out her lie now, plus I still had lots of things to do. "Now that you've delivered the message, you can leave". I said with a calm tone pointing at the door.
Mark who had been standing by the door since immediately understood, he opened it and stepped aside gesturing for her to pass through.
Olivia sighed before letting out a crooked smile. " I'll just leave " she let out a little laugh before walking out of my office, clutching her bag tightly in her hands as she walked out.
" That was... Awkward". Mark commented as soon as he shut the door, before walking up to me. "You know she was lying about your sister right?" He asked and I nodded.
Hannah and I spoke on the phone just two days ago and she didn't mention anything about coming down here, also even if she wanted to tell me, she wouldn't send someone on an almost ten hours flight just to tell me something she could do anytime on the phone.
" I know, but I didn't want to waste my time any more than I already have." I picked up the folder and opened it, taking out the flash drive from it.
"It was a bit hard to get the footage because apparently the owner of the bar involved himself in this, but after I explained who you were and what you needed it for to him, he reluctantly agreed. " Mark explained taking a seat in the chair opposite me.
As I touched the drive, my mind flashed back to the scene I met when I opened the office door. Olivia was hurriedly putting something back...
I shook my head removing the image from my mind. I was probably just overthink things because of my situation with Rachel right now.
Opening my laptop, I inserted the flash drive into it and clicked on it.
I had no password on my laptop because there was no reason to, no one dared to touch it even if their lives depended on that. I clicked on the video and watched in intensely.
My eyes narrowed at the laptop when I saw Lana call the waiter and whisper something in his ears.
Lana called the same waiter over again to serve us, he brought a bottle of whiskey, she opened it, poured it into two cups, but... She didn't drink!
She was watching me the entire time I held the glass in my hands, she even brought her's to her lips, but she didn't drink it.
And that evil smirk that appeared on her face when I drank mine, if was very obvious that she drugged the wine!
" Did you watch this? " I asked Mark looking away from the laptop and towards the man who sat opposite me.
He nodded before letting out a sigh. " You were right, Lana did drug you. I interrogated the waiter in the video and he confessed that Lana promised to give him a hundred thousand if he brought a spiked drink to her when she called. "
I felt my blood boil as I stared at the waiter in the video. I was freaking right, Lana drugged me!
I expected this but why was I still surprised?
" Where is the waiter now? " I asked clenching my fist in anger until my knuckles turned white.
Mark blinked dropping his phone which was on his hands, on the table before clasping his hands together. " I left him tied up. I was sure you want to deal with him yourself ".
" Fine, let's go then. " I was about to stand up but Mark shook his hands stopping me.
" Watch it till the end, I think I know why Rachel was mad". He said and I looked up at him suspiciously.
There was more?
I gulped sitting back down on my chair and replaying the video which I had earlier paused out of anger.
My eyes widened when I noticed Lana was helping me up, she failed several times and was about trying again and that was when Rachel came in.
She caught us in that unpleasant manner and she froze up.
I felt my veins pop out when Lana flashed a smile to Rachel who suddenly became teary, and I remembered what happened next from there.
Lana that bitch!
All these time she had been directly against Rachel, I choose not to intervene, to allow defeat her nemesis alone but this time... This time, I needed to teach that girl a lesson.
Rachel already had feelings for me but that girl just ruined everything.
