“Besides, you remember what Stephen promised us. If we take Angela down, I’ll become head of division one. After that, we won’t have to worry about a better future,” Zion said in an icy voice. 

His demeanor now was worlds apart from his usual polite one. In the dark, his eyes gleamed with a cold light. 

“Flora, you had a chance to deal with Alan earlier today, but you missed it. He’s our biggest threat. We can’t let him-” 

“That’s enough.” Flora looked away. 

She wore a ring that had something hidden inside. If she pricked someone with it, the person would be poisoned in a way that caused dizziness and mental confusion for a few days. It wasn’t lethal, but it would be enough to keep them from performing their best in the competition. 

Their mission was to sabotage the other eight designers so that none of them could compete properly. 

Yet earlier, when Alan tried to help her, Flora couldn’t bring herself to go through with it. She was starting to question if it was worth sacrificing the company’s reputation just for personal gain or for the sake of one division’s honor. 

If anyone found out they poisoned their colleagues, how could they ever hold their heads high in the design industry again? 

“Flora, are you having second thoughts?” Zion frowned, taking her hand gently.” Everything I’m doing is for you. I’m thinking about our future.” 

Flora rolled her eyes inwardly. He always used that same line. If it weren’t for her, would he not try at all? 

Besides, he used to date Nora. She couldn’t help wondering how trustworthy he really was. 

“At least wait until the day before the competition. If we do it too early, they’ll catch on and see a doctor,” she said calmly. 

The weather in Montivale wasn’t great. The following morning, Angela woke to see a gray sky looming outside her window. It looked like it might rain. 

She stretched and planned to head out soon to meet up with the rest of the team. 

She had only just sat up when a low male voice startled her from across the room. “You’re awake?”

Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest. 

She whipped around and almost cried out. “What are you doing here?” 

It was Dexter. 

“Why shouldn’t I be here?”

He was reclining lazily on the couch. One leg was crossed over the other, and his long fingers tapped idly on his knee. Even though he didn’t make any other moves, he radiated an unmistakable sense of wealth and status. 

A strange tension filled the spacious room. 

Angela hurried to grab her knit cardigan from the head of the bed, covering the slip dress that barely reached her thighs. 

She had just woken up, so her face was pale with a touch of pink, and her lips lacked color. She glared at Dexter warily. Anger flashed in her eyes, giving her a vivid, spirited look. 

At least that was how Dexter saw her. 

“Get yourself ready. We’ll go eat in a bit,” he said blandly, as if nothing had happened. Angela let out a cold laugh. “Why should I listen to you? And why are you stalking me?” “Don’t get any ideas. I’m here for a wedding. A friend is getting married the day after tomorrow, and you have to attend too,” Dexter said, pulling an invitation from his pocket. 

It was dark red with an intricate embossed design. 

“Then why are you here? This is my room,” she demanded, barely containing her anger. She reminded herself that losing her temper would only make her look uglier and older.
