Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 1049

It was but a moment, yet to Alicia, it felt like an eternity. She saw the hurt and heartbreak in Narissa's eyes, and it sliced her heart to pieces, tearing the remnants of her dignity apart. "I'm sorry."

Unable to face anyone, Alicia let go of Jamie and escaped into her room like a scared kitten. Despite the short journey, she still managed to bump into the doorframe, and it bruised her shoulder. Yet, she ignored the pain and quickly closed the door. Only when darkness had engulfed her could she heave a sigh of relief. She leaned on the door and slowly slid to the ground.

It was still silent outside. A long while later, Narissa finally moved. She made her way to Jamie and easily held him around his shoulder. Calmly, she moved to the elevator. When she passed by Zephyr, she hissed, "Do not tell this to anyone. Not a soul."

He took a deep breath and looked away. "I'm not much for gossip. I saw nothing."

Narissa didn't seem to hear that. She made her way to the elevator and stopped. Quietly, she said, "Thank you." And then, she took Jamie into the elevator.

Zephyr looked at the ground. He muttered, "Sweet dreams, though I wonder if you can even sleep tonight." After that, he went back into his room.

Narissa came back to the second floor. Just when she was about to enter her room, she noticed someone talking in Room 206, so she turned around to check things out.

Danny and Ariel were on the sofa, and they were covered in robes. One was massaging their forehead while the other was poking their temples. Maverick was lying beside Danny, wearing nothing but a shirt and a pair of boxers. He was still out cold. A roll of blanket slept on the long sofa beside him, revealing a pair of women's feet facing the door. On the table were bottles of mineral water brought by Ariel. Irvin was fiddling with a test tube, and it clanged with another. It seems chaotic.

"You guys are late." Noticing Narissa holding Jamie, Elise asked worriedly, "Is he alright?"

Narissa looked at Jamie calmly. "He's alright." A pause later, she looked into the room. "What happened?"

Irvin was done with his experiment. He held up a test tube and answered, "Hallucinogen. Almost every single bottle is tampered with."

Danny gave Maverick a hard kick. "You b*stard. You did the same thing last time! That's it. You're losing your d*ck. I don't want you to harass Ariel anymore. You're really getting it this time!"

"Ahem." Elise cleared her throat. "He was going after you, actually."

"Sorry?" Danny gave Elise a look of bewilderment.

"If it weren't for Mommy and me, you would've been violated, Uncle Danny," added Irvin.

Danny went silent for a moment. Then, he went to the kitchen and came back with a knife. He stared at Maverick with nothing but murder in his eyes.

Worried that he might kill Maverick, Ariel took the knife away. "Don't dirty your hands."

"What about that woman?" asked Elise.

Danny heaved a sigh in frustration. "She's Alicia's friend. I have no idea why she's here. Gave her two bottles before. She probably drank some. Or maybe Maverick screwed her. I came back with Danny, and she was already there. Must be related to Maverick or something," said Ariel.

Danny froze upon hearing that. "We should see Alicia. She might be drugged as well. Don't want anyone to do anything to her."
