Chapter 11 Who Takes the Antidote?
As Sierra thought of this, she blushed, and she tried not to think about. what happened in the room.
It seemed the waiter was the prime suspect. But a waiter wouldn’t have the guts to do anything to cause trouble at the Cordova family’s party, so she was certain that someone else must have been behind it.
Suddenly, her eyes flickered. When she was in the bathroom, she vaguely heard someone knocking on the door, but given her conditi she wasn’t sure if it was real or just her hallucination.
After pondering for a while, she realized the only way to find out who was really behind this was to start with the waiter.
She activated her smartwatch, and Phantom’s face appeared in front of her.
“Isn’t this the distinguished Ms. Cordova? Seems you’re OK now,”
Phantom couldn’t help but tease. The thought of her being drugged with an aphrodisiac made him laugh.
“Save the sarcastic tone. Well, thanks for the antidote anyway,” she said. while rolling her eyes at him.
Then she asked, “When you sent me the antidote yesterday, did you see Fabian with anyone?”
“Fabian? I sent the antidote via drone yesterday. All I saw was you reaching out to take it. I didn’t see anything else.” Phantom gawked at her.
“Don’t tell me the person who took the antidote wasn’t you. Gee… I was

He had heard about Fabian before, but he didn’t know Fabian was in the room yesterday, too. So, Fabian and Deity…
“Deity, did you two…” Phantom paused.
“I received the antidote in time, so… nothing happened,” Sierra said firmly, stopping him from wondering.
Hearing this, Phantom breathed a sigh of relief. If something had. happened, he would have gone to Fabian and made Fabian pay right now.
“So
he took care of you all night?” still gossipy, he probed.
“What do you wanna know?” Sierra glared at him, her gaze sharp.
He chickenedout right away. “Nothing. I’m just concerned about you.”
She rolled her eyes and changed the subject. “Find someone for me.”
“Who?”
“There was a waiter at the party yesterday. He’s tall and thin, about 1.8 meters tall. Contact me after you find him.” She gave him a general impression of that waiter.
“Don’t you think it’s a bit too vague? Men about that tall are everywhere. How am I supposed to find him?” Phantom felt a headache coming on. With such little information, it was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
“I’ve told you everything I could remember. The rest depends on you,” she

smiled slyly and then ended the video call.
Now that she had entrusted Phantom with finding the waiter, all that was left for her to deal with was Fabian.
She failed to notice him in the room, which meant his skills were on par with hers. What frustrated her even more was that he had overheard her secret. It was vitally important to her.

“Fabian, who exactly are you?” She stared ahead, her gaze deep.
Fabian was in the CEO’s office of the Lester Group.
As he was reviewing documents, his phone suddenly rang.
Glancing at the screen, he saw an unknown number and hung up directly.
In the next second, his phone rang again. Frowning slightly, he saw the same unknown number again. Without hesitation, he blocked it. It was the first time he got spam calls.
He continued to immerse himself in reviewing the documents, and half an hour passed before he realized it.
“Get me a cup of coffee,” he instructed his assistant via the intercom. Then he stood up and walked to the huge floor–to–ceiling window to gaze
outside.
“Here’s your coffee, Mr. Lester.”
“Take the documents on the desk and execute them,” he ordered while taking the coffee.

“Yes. Mr. Lester.” His assistant picked up the documents and left.
While Fabian was drinking coffee, what happened in the room yesterday suddenly flashed across his mind, and he couldn’t help but smile. Who knew? His fiancée turned out to be Deity, the world’s top mercenary. He was utterly surprised and intrigued.
She was such a formidable woman, and now, she was his fiancée. He was faintly looking forward to seeing what she would do to him now that he knew her secret.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Wayne Hardy entered and said, “Mr. Lester, Ms. Cordova is here to see you.”
Hearing Sierra’s name, Fabian turned around, only to see Sierra standing in the office. Their eyes met.
“This way, Ms. Cordova.” Fabian gestured for her to sit on the couch.
As she sat on the couch, Wayne sensibly closed the door behind him and guarded the door.
“Mr. Lester, you’ve got quite a spacious office. I wonder what it feels like to work in such a large office.” It was the first time Sierra had seen such a large office. She presumed it was easily several hundred square meters.
“If you like it here, Ms. Cordova, I can get someone to set up a desk for you next to mine,” he said while looking at her. Since she was his fiancée, it’d be fun working together.
“Next to you? I’ll pass. Your office is great indeed, but I don’t like staying here every day. It’ll be so boring,” she said, turning him down directly.

She couldn’t help but think he was so delusional. Did he really treat her as his fiancée?
This was the first time Fabian had been rejected, which bugged him. But as he looked at her, for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to be
angry.
“Ms. Cordova, would you like some coffee?” he asked, arching an eyebrow
“Sure.”
“Just a second.” He walked over to the manual coffee grinder elegantl
Looking over, she was slightly surprised. “Mr. Lester, you’re the CEO of such a huge company, yet you grind your own coffee for guests?”
He smiled, “You’re in for a treat today, Ms. Cordova.”
He didn’t tell her not everyone had the privilege of drinking coffee he ground because he didn’t wanna pressure her.
Yet, she didn’t think she was in any kind of treat. So what if the coffee

“Ms. Cordova, you came to me for what happened yesterday, right?” He handed her the freshly brewed coffee.
She took it over.
“Thanks, Mr. Lester. Since you already figured it out, I’ll get straight to the point.
“Was it you who gave me the antidote yesterday?” she asked, looking at him.
