Opening it up, she pulled out the contents—a specially crafted, ultra-thin silicone mask.
It was as thin as a second skin. Once applied to her face and blended with a little makeup, it completely altered her appearance.
After she finished adjusting it, the face staring back at her in the mirror belonged to a total stranger.
Satisfied with her disguise, she grabbed a tray of drinks and headed for the suite.
"Good evening, sir. Here are your drinks," Elena said, lowering her voice.
"Set them down there," a man ordered.
Elena stole a glance at him. It was Lucas Maddox.
Her hunch was right; Viper was definitely connected to Lucas Maddox.
Viper was highly skilled. Compared to the usual incompetent thugs Lucas kept around, he was in a completely different league.
"Pour the drinks!" Viper commanded her.
As Elena poured the drinks, she used her peripheral vision to scan the room.
Besides Lucas and Viper, there were two other men in the suite. It looked like they were in the middle of a private meeting.
Elena finished pouring and placed the glass in front of Viper. "Your drink, sir."
"Come here. Have a drink with me," Viper said, gesturing for her to step closer.
"I'm sorry, sir. I'm just a server. If you'd like some company, I can call a hostess for you."
Slam!
The man slammed his hand hard against the coffee table.
"What do you mean, just a server? Do the women here really need to be categorized? I told you to come have a drink with me, so drink!" he roared furiously.
"I sincerely apologize, sir," Elena repeated calmly.
"Alright, Viper, cool it. She's just a waitress. There's no need to give her a hard time. Let's get back to business," one of the men intervened.
"Hmph! Still trying to hide your real face?" Viper sneered maliciously.
"You knew all along?" Elena demanded.
"That's right, Miss Whelan. You've been tailing me for a while, haven't you? Not only did you have the Black Meridian Syndicate tracking me, but you even showed up at the docks yourself. You're certainly persistent! So tonight, I figured it was time we had a proper introduction!"
Elena realized she had walked right into a trap!
Viper's presence here tonight was no accident. It was a setup.
He intentionally let himself be spotted so she would follow him inside.
Elena tried to make a break for it, but the moment she moved, over a dozen men in black suits poured out from the back room and surrounded her.
"Lucas Maddox, are you the one pulling the strings here?" Elena glared at him.
"I sure am. Elena, did you really think the Maddox Group was that easy to mess with? You pushed us too far! Today, I had Viper set this up specifically for you. There's no way out for you this time," Lucas snapped harshly.
