"I don't mind being Charles's mistress as long as I can win his heart."
Leo was heartbroken the moment she said that. Sophia was his girlfriend when they were still students in university. He had no idea how she had changed from a pure and lovely lady to a crazy and shameless woman. She had become this immoral and brash that she had the audacity to say that she was willing to be a mistress of a married man.
Perhaps, she would finally give up on Charles after she would have a try to pursue him, or perhaps she would come back to him after her entertainment career was destroyed. These thoughts ran through Leo's mind.
If she were to become an ordinary person again, she might not have any ambitious goals anymore. By then, they might be able to be together once again.
Leo felt better at the thought of this. He then said, "Okay. I will give it to you after we arrive at the hotel there."
Sophia nodded. She took a last drag on her cigarette before throwing the butt out of the car window. After that, she leaned against the window to have a rest. She was feeling a bit sleepy.
While looking at Sophia's attractive sleeping face, Leo felt very much in agony. Today, he might have to let the woman he loved sleep with another man.
He felt greatly distressed. It was as if his heart had been pierced by thousands of arrows.
After they had arrived at the hotel, Sophia couldn't wait to asked Leo for the aphrodisiac.
"Where's the drug? Give it to me now."
Leo gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you in such a rush?"
"What do you mean by that? Give it to me right now, " said Sophia.
Then, Leo turned around, took a small bottle of drug from his luggage, and handed it to Sophia. "This drug is very powerful. You shouldn't use too much at a time. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to bear the effect."
"I plan to let Charles take this drug. I won't take it, so what do you mean by I won't be able to bear the effect?"
Leo was stunned by her words. He didn't expect that Sophia would ask him such question.
When a man, who would take this drug in large quantities, had sex with a woman, that woman would surely suffer pain.
But before Leo explained it to her, Sophia realized what he had meant given to the fact that she was holding a bottle of aphrodisiac. She blushed and cast a glance at him, without saying anything.
"What time will the jewelry auction start?" Sophia immediately changed the topic.
"It will start at 8:00 PM tonight, but the cocktail party will start at 6:00 PM. The call time is at 5:30 PM for the rehearsal. You have to check if the sound equipment is working all right."
"Okay, I see. Ask the make-up artist to help me put on make-up at 3:00 PM. I'm feeling a bit tired, and I want to sleep for a while before that." Sophia waved her hand and lay down on the bed.
Leo shook his head and helped her unfold the quilt quickly. After he tucked Sophia in, he left the room. He would come by with the make-up artist at 3:00 PM to wake her up and help her prepare for the event.
Sophia was sleeping while Charles was busy with his work. Someone brought him some of the pieces which would be sold at the auction. There were three items that he found stunning among all of them.
