Maria said nothing at their table. She felt dizzy, and her eyes blurred. Her body suddenly softened. She closed her eyes wearily.
Rika shook Maria's shoulder. "Are you ok? Were you drunk?"
Maria didn't answer, she seemed to be asleep. Rika looked at her, talking to herself. 'You dare harm Ella. You are evil.'
"It looks like Maria is drunk," Ella said.
"Right. Let me take her to her room." Rika said and helped Maria up from the chair. She let Maria's head rest on her shoulder and walked towards the elevator.
Stepping out of the elevator, Rika goes to Maria's room but she has an interesting idea. She led Maria to Raymon's room. He's currently golfing with David and Key, so he hasn't returned yet.
Rika asks the hotel staff to open the door to Raymon's room. She says that Maria is his girlfriend and they share a room. The female employee believed Rika's words and she opened the door to Raymon's room for Rika.
Entering the room, Rika laid Maria down on the bed and covered Maira with a blanket. She purposely exposed Maria's long, white legs out of the blanket. Raymon certainly wouldn't hold back when he saw Maria's legs.
Then, Rika walked out, closing the door.
After dinner, they all went to their rooms to rest. Raymon returned to his room. He opened the bedroom door and found a woman lying on his bed. She turned her back to him.
Raymon thought the woman was Ella. He walked to the side of the bed, gazing intently at Maria's body. He doesn't turn on the light, because he thinks dark will increase his arousal.
Maria's long legs are wrapped in a blue dress that hugs her thighs, emphasizing her flawless beauty. Raymon's throat rolled down slightly, looking at Maria like that, he couldn't contain the lust that was rising inside him. Because it was dark, he couldn't see her face clearly, so he kissed her like that.
His lips covered her whole body, sucking in her signature scent mixed with the faint smell of alcohol through her quick breath, the more he kissed, the more excited Raymon became, he wanted more.
He buried his face in her neck. Maria felt someone touching her body, she wanted to resist but didn't have the strength. She couldn't dodge Raymon's rushing kisses, this feeling wasn't David, she didn't want to but her body wouldn't listen to her. Maria's body was limp and still underneath, letting the man grope everywhere.
The next morning, Maria woke up and saw the man's face beside her, she was so shocked she didn't say anything. She looked down at her body, her skirt was torn.
'What's happening? The one lying here must be Ella, right? Why me?'
Maria wrapped the blanket around her. She wakes Raymon up. He was also quite shocked when it was her.
"Why you? Where's Ella?" Raymon stared at Maria with wide eyes. He was a bit regretful because he had sex with the wrong person, but, Maria's body wasn't bad either.
"I do not know." Maria is confused.
"Your plan, right? You failed again." Raymon sighed.
Maria tried to remember what happened yesterday. "I remember I put anesthetic in Ella's wine glass and she drank it too."
"And then?"
"I..." Maria patted her forehead. She couldn't remember what happened next. "I also drank my glass of wine and then... I got drunk... I don't know..."
"I think someone knows your plan and that person is trying to play a prank on you." Raymon speculated.
"Who is that? Damned." Maria mumbled curses. She looked at the kiss marks on her body, glaring at Raymon. "Why are you doing this to me?"
Raymon shrugged. "I thought you were Ella."
The two of them put on their clothes and walked down the main hall of the hotel. Today they will climb the mountain.
As soon as Raymon and Maria walked down the main hall, they saw the other staff members gathered, under David's guidance.
Maria glanced at her colleagues, none of them with suspicious expressions on their faces. So she doesn't know who deliberately ruined her plans.
Maria stared at Ella and David. Her eyes showed a wicked glint. The more she failed, the more she wanted to defeat Ella.
David was the lead, he walked towards the exit of the hotel. The other employees followed him.
In front of them was a towering mountain. It takes a long time to climb to the top. The road up the mountain was full of weeds, winding and narrow. Sharp, jagged rocks jutted out blocking the path. Looking at the mountain, Ella was a little scared. But thinking about the bonus at the end of the year, her willpower boils even though she is not sure if she will finish first or not. The other employees were extremely excited about this climbing competition.
At first, Ella walked beside David but, then, due to everyone jostling each other, everyone wanted to go first so she was left behind.
"Ella, are you going to climb the mountain with me?" Maria suddenly approached her, offering.
Ella hesitated.
"Are you afraid?"
Provoked, Ella braced herself on her hips. "No. OK. We will have a mountain climbing competition." As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she suddenly regretted it. She didn't have any mountain climbing skills, but she still agreed to take the test. If she went with David, there would be no problem. At the very least, he will instruct her. But, now that he was long gone, she was a little scared. If she changed her mind now, Maria would surely laugh at her.
"Good, if you've accepted my mountaineering challenge, then we'll take a shortcut," Maria said.
"Why not go with everyone but take a shortcut?" Ella wondered.
"If it's called an exam, it must be fair, how can I know if you have a plan or not."
Maria's gaze was different, but Ella didn't notice. Because of her pride, she didn't want to lose to anyone, and she didn't want to appear weak and weak, so she nodded. "I am an upright person, if there is a scheme, that person is you, not me."
Ella thought that when she said that, Maria would be angry but she just smiled, turned, and walked away. The two girls turned to another road. This road is luxuriant and dense. Doesn't look like a climbing track. Normally, Ella refuses to practice sports and does not read books about travel, her daily vehicle is a taxi or David transports her, so now she does not know the mountainous terrain.
