Chapter 94 Hiram Was Drugged
Chapter 94 Hiram Was Drugged
Rachel held back her tears and pulled her hands out of Hiram's grip before getting out of the car. "Carl,
send him home. It's already very late. And I have to go back to sleep too, " Rachel said to Carl.
Carl nodded his head before turning to Hiram, who was still sitting in the car, and asking, "Cousin, shall
we go home now? Rachel is going to go home and sleep."
Staring at Rachel's back through the window of the car, Hiram faintly answered, "Yes."
Carl heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to Rachel, nodded and said, "Rachel, thank you. If you hadn't
come down, I might have had to wander in the streets."
"See you, Carl. Drive safe on your way back, " Rachel said and headed back to her apartment.
Hiram stared longingly after Rachel until she disappeared from view.
The next day, Hiram woke up with a splitting headache.
Feeling dizzy, he opened his eyes. He looked around and touched the other side of the bed but it was
empty. Why did he feel as if Rachel had come back? Had he drunk too much and imagined things?
"Cousin, are you awake?" Carl brought him a bowl of porridge.
When Carl was near enough, Hiram pulled his arm briskly and asked, "Was Rachel here last night?"
Carl blinked his eyes and replied quickly, "Of course not, why would she come here? Cousin, you were
so drunk last night that you were crying for Rachel. You probably dreamed about her when you were
asleep."
Carl didn't tell the truth, because he had promised Rachel that if Hiram had forgotten what had
happened last night, he would just let it be.
Hiram released Carl, remembering that he had seen Rachel last night after all. The alluring woman who
had sung on stage had turned out to be Rachel. After she had left the bar, he had stayed there and
kept drinking until Carl had come to bring him home.
But he had been too drunk to remember anything that happened after that.
At Streams Company...
"Mr. Rong, Miss Cassie called for an appointment with you again. What should I tell her?" his secretary
asked. Hiram continued working in silence.
After marking a note on his document, he answered, "No problem, let her choose the place. I'll be there
on time."
For the fifteen days since Rachel left him, Hiram had tried to keep himself busy. Sometimes, he worked
late. If there was no work, he asked people out and stayed out late with them. He was afraid to be
alone.
Before meeting Rachel, he had been alone for a very long time, so he had been used to it. But after
living with Rachel for just a month, being alone was a torture, especially at night. He felt like he couldn't
take it anymore.
He always felt empty inside...except last night, when he had seen her again. It had seemed like his
heart was complete again.
In one of the top hotels of H City, Cassie, who was a model, gracefully sat near the bar in the hotel
room with two glasses of red wine in her hands. "Come on, Mr. Rong, let me give you a toast, " she
said and passed one of the glasses to Hiram..
As usual, Hiram halfheartedly clinked his glass against hers and took a sip of the wine. He didn't feel
anything different.
Looking at Hiram drink the wine, Cassie internally heaved a sigh of relief. After spending every night of
the past week with Hiram, her pride had grown infinitely.
Everyone she knew envied her so much for getting the chance to hang out with Hiram.
However, no one knew the truth. Even though they were together every night, Hiram hadn't touched
even her pinky finger.
Her close friend, May, had suggested drugging Hiram so that he would make a move on her. When a
lonely man and a beautiful woman were alone together in a room, anything could happen. And besides,
no man would be able to control himself after being drugged.
But as time went by, Cassie started to get anxious. The drug seemed to have no effect at all on Hiram.
It was obvious that she had underestimated his self-control.
What she didn't know was that over the years, Hiram had developed his self-control so much that it
was almost comparable to the self-control of the monks.
So instead, she wondered if Hiram had any problems in that respect.
It was impossible, she decided immediately. He was the only heir to the Rong family and there hadn't
been any such rumors about him before. So maybe it was because her dosage was too small?
She saw her chance when Hiram received a call. While he was answering his phone, she sprinkled all
the remaining powder into his glass and stirred it without him noticing.
'It will definitely work this time, ' she thought, and waited.
Of course it would work. Cassie had put too much in the glass this time. It was enough to work for ten
people, let alone one. Not long after Hiram drank it, he knew something was wrong.
He looked at the wine, and then at Cassie. Although she tried her best to act normal, she couldn't hide
her hands from shaking. Realizing what she had done, Hiram furrowed his eyebrows.
"Cassie, do you know why I agreed to have dinner with you so many times?" Hiram asked suddenly.
Cassie didn't dare to look him in the eye but pretended staring at the wine. She shook her head and
answered, "I don't know. Can you tell me, Mr. Rong?"
"Compared with many of the women who ask me out, you're just ordinary-looking. But I chose you
because you're quiet. You don't bother me, no matter how long I'm lost in thought. I like the company
you give me without bothering me, " Hiram said, holding the empty glass in his hand.
Cassie was panicking inwardly. Trying to hide her guilty conscience, she smiled and said, "Whatever it
is, I'm glad you find me useful."
Suddenly, there was a sound of glass shattering.
The glass in Hiram's hand had broken into two pieces, frightening Cassie so much that she couldn't
keep her hands from trembling, spilling the wine in her glass.
"Did you drug the wine in my glass?" Hiram asked casually, throwing the glass onto the floor. His face
was very cold.
"No, of course not. Mr. Rong, wine usually makes men feel... Well, you're drinking, so it's normal to
have such feelings. Why would you suspect me of drugging your drink? I'm afraid you're overthinking
things, " Cassie answered, not daring to look at Hiram. She was afraid he would see right through her.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Hiram asked coldly. He was furious that she was still trying to deny what
she had done.
"Mr. Rong, Mr. Rong... I, I..." Cassie couldn't finish what she was trying to say, as she was trembling in
fright. She took a deep breath to calm herself down and continued, "I really like you. I like you so much
that I want to become your woman, so I..."
She trailed off, standing up and walking to Hiram. She brought up her hands to embrace him from
behind and continued, "Can you please give me a chance?"
Just before her trembling hands could touch him, Hiram shouted with all his strength, "Fuck off!"
"Mr. Rong, " Cassie whimpered.
"Get out of here right now and disappear. I don't want to see you anymore, " Hiram said.
He slid all the dishes and wine off the table. The drug was so powerful that he was almost losing
control.
Carl was standing outside the hotel room. When he heard all the noise, he opened the door
immediately. "Cousin, what happened?" he asked anxiously.
"Send her away. Far away from H City. I don't want to see her anymore, " Hiram said. He clenched his
hands tightly to control himself. He stood up and walked towards the bathroom, stepping right on the
broken shards of glass.
"Miss Cassie, what have you done to my cousin?" Carl asked angrily, seeing that there was something
wrong with Hiram.
Cassie didn't dare to look at Carl either. Her hands were still trembling. She said, "I wanted Hiram to
like me, so I... So I put some drug in the wine to..."
"Drug? Oh my God. Why would you do that? How much have you put? And what kind of drug?" Carl
asked. He couldn't believe that Cassie would do such a thing.
She always looked so gentle and tender, so how could she have done such a dirty thing?
Hiram was already heartbroken these days. How could he take any more torture?
"I put just a little at first, but it didn't have any effect on him, so I put in everything I had. And..." Cassie
said, so frightened that she finally decided to come clean.
Anyway, they had already found out what she had done. If something bad happened to Hiram, she
wouldn't be able to take responsibility for it.
Carl was too shocked to judge her. He pointed to the door and said, "Get yourself out of here and
disappear."
Cassie murmured, "You'd better find a woman to help him immediately. If not, I'm afraid something bad
will happen."
Then, too ashamed to stay there any longer, she left the room.
Carl waited for Hiram outside the bathroom for a long time before he finally came out.
"Cousin, are you okay?" Carl asked. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
