"I, I'm here to talk about this cooperation case. I don't know if Martha has time now?"
Hollie had the right smile on her lips, as if she wasn't the one who had just appeared eagerly at the door.
Stefan heard her explanation, did not think much of it, and looked at her lightly.
"Since you have something to discuss, I will leave first."
Hollie saw the man leaving and called, "Stefan."
The man stopped in his tracks, "Something wrong?"
"Nothing. Please keep yourself rested."
Hollie shook her head nervously and looked at him with a few worried glances.
In fact, she just wanted to make sure that he hadn't touched that cup, but she didn't know how to ask.
Stefan responded indifferently and left Martha's room.
A few seconds later, only Martha and Hollie were left in the room.
After a moment of silence, Martha laughed out loud, "Ms. Hollie, are you really here for a partnership with me?"
Hollie concealed the strange look in her eyes and stared straight at Martha, pursing her lips.
Martha naturally knew why Hollie rushed over here.
The room was under surveillance, and ...
There was a problem with the water cup. It was not difficult to guess what the problem was.
Hollie hurried over but lacked the courage to ask Stefan if he had drunk the water.
This meant that what was on the cup was not fatal.
So what was Hollie worried about if it was not fatal?
Inside the cup was not fatal poison, so only love potion could have caused Hollie to come over in such a hurry.
So ... Hollie must be worried that something would happen between her and Stefan. That was why she was in such a hurry.
Then the surveillance camera in her room was there only to capture her lewdness and expose it to the public.
Being stared closely at by Martha, Hollie couldn't help but feel intimidated.
Afraid of Martha might see through her trick, she immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I just came to confirm with you the schedule for tomorrow's inspection."
"I know little about it. You should ask Mr. Williams ."
With her eyes lowered, Martha exuded a powerful vibe.
"Ms. Hollie, is there anything else?"
"No, I'll go ask Mr. Williams. Have a good rest."
After Hollie said this, she turned around and walked away. Martha felt that Hollie was acting as if she was fleeing the scene of a disaster.
She closed the door and turned her head to look at the cup on the desk, a hint of mischeif crossing her eyes.
Looking at the time and feeling the afternoon sun, the woman lazily walked to the bed, ready to take a lunch break.
Closing her eyes, she did not fall asleep but was lost in thought.
Since Hollie and Joann had set a trap for her, wouldn't it be meaningless if she didn't pretend to fall for it?
...
Hollie returned to her room with a complicated look on her face and sat on the couch. Another false alarm.
Joann saw this and her displeased voice rang out in the room, "Hollie, you were in too much of a hurry just now. That might expose your true intention."
Hollie naturally knew that she shouldn't have been so anxious, but she really didn't want to see Stefan and Martha rekindle their relationship.
She looked up and yelled at Joann in annoyance, "Do I have to watch Stefan drink that water?"
Joann froze, this time with her head down, not daring to speak again.
Hollie coldly glanced at Joann, indignantly sitting on the sofa, and only after a long time, she slowly calmed down.
She didn't know if Martha had sensed something was wrong just then, but there was no turning back and the plan had to go forward.
A few moments later, Hollie got up, looked at Joann who was sitting in front of the computer, and said in an unpleasant tone.
"I'm a little tired. I'll go to bed first. You keep an eye on the surveillance footage."
"OK."
Joann said yes to Hollie's request, but she was unhappy. She was being yelled at by Hollie for no reason. Did Hollie really take her for a servant or a lackey?
She turned her head and continued to stare at every move in the surveillance footage.
However, after watching the it all afternoon, she found Martha did nothing special.
Martha was really taking a nap, while she had to keep watching the computer screen. Despite feeling sleepy, she did not dare to close her eyes.
It was only in the late afternoon that Martha woke up ...
