Jaylene returned to reality and asked, “Yeah. What’s up?” “What’s the deal with your brother and Molly? Is there something romantic going on between them?” one of the girls asked.
“I’m not entirely sure. I’ll try to find out later,” Jaylene chuckled.
Molly was on her phone, as she walked out of the elevator and headed toward her room. Little did she know, a shadowy figure was silently closing in from behind. When she swiped her key card to enter, a hand emerged from behind and covered her mouth and nose with a cloth.
Molly immediately struggled. However, the cloth was soaked with a substance, causing her movements to slow down. Gradually, she grew weaker and lost consciousness altogether.
At the same time, it had been around half an hour since Felicity finished her drink. She was beginning to feel weak and sweaty all over.
There were magic performances on the stage. Vermont grabbed her hand, suggesting that they should watch the show. In a daze, Felicity followed him, but her vision was getting blurry. She could not make out what was happening. All she knew was that Vermont’s touch felt cool against her skin. She could not help lifting his hand and pressed it to her face.
Vermont was taken aback. He turned his head and saw that Felicity’s face was flushed red, as she tilted her head and rubbed her cheek against his hand. “Your hand feels so cold, ” she said in a soft voice.
In reality, Vermont’s hand was of normal temperature while Felicity’s face was unusually warm. Vermont noticed this and frowned. He reached out to touch her face and asked,” Are you okay, Miss Bandit?”
Felicity shook her head. “I think I had a bit too much to drink. My head feels dizzy,” she replied after a few seconds.
Her body also felt warm. Unexplainably, Felicity had the urge to hug Vermont. However, she had not lost her sense of judgment completely. She realized her thoughts were rather peculiar, so she did not voice them.
Amused by her words, Vermont chuckled and said, “Didn’t you claim that countless drinks? How is it that you’re like this after just a few?”
“The alcohol content in tonight’s cocktails is probably higher, ” Felicity replied.
