Her natural voice was more appealing than professional singers.
Zeke was enthralled by Lacey’s performance as he indulged in her singing.
He returned to his senses after Lacey patted him.
“It’s your turn to sing now,” said Lacey.
Zeke received the microphone from her and began to sing.
He was not experienced in singing as well. But Zeke’s voice was powerful and rich like melting honey.
Performing that song was a breeze for him.
Zeke and Lacey’s duet was more spellbinding than the original version of the song.
Sharon fell into a daze as she witnessed their performance. The two of them are a perfect match for one another. When can I meet with my soulmate too?
Emily was not paying attention to the duet.
She was anxious at that moment as she sweated profusely.
In her palm was something that could ruin Zeke and Lacey’s lives.
Emily placed two tiny, white-colored pills into Zeke and Lacey’s bottle of beer while the others inside the room were distracted.
She thought no one had noticed what she did. Emily heaved a sigh of relief afterward.
But she did not know Zeke had seen her.
He sneered internally. She’s finally revealing her true colors.
Emily clapped passionately after the song ended. “Awesome! You are so talented, Lacey. Let’s drink. Cheers.”
Lacey was about to pick up her bottle of beer when Zeke said all of a sudden, “Emily, why don’t you drink with us separately. Otherwise, I feel as if I’m being left out because you’re only drinking with Lacey.”
Emily smiled. “Sure. Cheers, Zeke. I’m not going to say anything more because you already know what I want to say.”
Zeke nodded. Then he drank the beer.
Emily gulped the content in her bottle as well.
While Emily was distracted, Zeke swiftly switched Lacey’s bottle of beer with his free hand.
As for the pill in his bottle of beer, Zeke knew the drug would not have any significant effect on himself.
Emily drank with Lacey again after she was done entertaining Zeke.
Emily was exhilarated after witnessing both of them drank the beer in their bottles. I’ve successfully executed 90% of my plan. Actually, I can even say the plan is 100% successful. They are going to die this time.
She did not care to waste any more time entertaining Zeke and Lacey after completing her mission. So she began to indulge herself in singing. I’ll leave the rest to Logan and Hadley.
Meanwhile, Zeke continued to drink with Lacey.
He had also replaced his bottle of adulterated beer with a new bottle.
Lacey was drunk after drinking another half bottle of beer. Her flushed cheeks appeared to be alluring.
She lay on Zeke’s lap weakly while toying with his large palm. Her eyes were fixated on the music video displayed on the screen.
Zeke’s free hand was casually rested on Lacey’s waist. Then he slowly shifted his hand upward.
Just as Zeke was about to touch Lacey’s erogenous zone, his phone rang at that moment.
Disappointment was written all over Zeke’s face.
He sighed and said to Lacey in a gentle tone, “I’m going to the bathroom, Lacey. Wait for me here.”
She nodded her head obediently. “Okay. Don’t take too long.”
“Don’t worry,” Zeke assured her.
He exited the private room after he spoke. But he did not walk toward the bathroom. Instead, Zeke headed toward the karaoke’s entrance.
He took out his phone and answered the call.
It was Lone Wolf who contacted him.
