Serena remembered how Erika had bullied Daisy before “Could it be that Erika is picking on her again she wondered, setting down her fork. With concerns, she asked, “Daisy, are you see you’re okay? Did Erika give you trouble again?”
Daily frantically waved her hands and stammered, “It’s nothing. Ms. Gray, Really, please don’t worry about i
She drooped her head, her face turning slightly pale. Her eyes darted away nervously as her fingers twisted anxiously at the corner of her clothes.
Seeing Daisy like this, Serena grew e
even more convinced that she was hiding something from her.
“Daisy, if you’re going through anything difficult, please let me know. I’ll do everything in my power to help you,” said Serena
Daisy looked up. Her eyes were brimming with unshed tears, but she bit her lip and remained silent,
That evening, after getting off work, Serena returned home, slipped into her comly loungewear, and was just about to start dinner. Just then, her phone
Seeing it was Daisy calling. Serena answered right away. On the other end, Daisy’s voice was choked with sobs. “Serena, can you come over? L’m falling apart.
“What’s wrong? What happened? Where are you right now?” Serena was scared.
“Tm at home. P–Please come quickly.” Daisy’s voice broke into sobs before the line went dead abruptly.
Worried that something might have happened to Daisy, Serena rushed over without hesitation. The moment Serena stepped inside, she saw Daisy curled up on the sofa, hugging a pillow, sobbing uncontrollably with her lace buried in a cushion.
Serena rushed to her side, worry etched on her face. “Daisy, what happened?”
“Serena, I just got dumped,” Daisy choked out, her voice trembling
Serena gently patted Daisy’s back and said softly. “It’s okay. This, too, shall pass”
Daisy’s voice trembled as she said, “Serena, I really need a drink. Will you join me?”
Serena was worned, She nodded gently. “Of course. What would you like to drink?”
Daisy stood up, her steps slightly unsteady as she made her way to the kitchen. She pulled out two bottles of red wine and a pair of wine glasses from the
cabinet.
She uncorked the bottle of red wine and filled both glasses to the brim, then handed one to Serena
Without a second thought, Serena took the glass and downed it in one pulp. After just two glasses, her head spun violently and her limbs burned to lead, as if the room was tilting beneath her feet,
*Serena, are you alright?” Daisy asked, her voice tinged with anxious concern.
Serena murmured weakly, “H-1 don’t feel so good.”
“Serena, you’re looking pale. Maybe you should lie down on the sofa for a bit?” said Daisy
Serena gave a weak nod. With Daisy supporting her, she shuffled slowly to the sats and collapsed onto it. Her consciousness began to fade like mist, her eyelids growing heavier with every second.
“Why am I so tired! I can barely keep my eyes open, she thought, struggling to fight it, but her body simply refused to obey

“What’s going on? I usually hold my liquor pretty well, so why am I already feeling dizzy after just two glasses today?” she thought. Before Serena k everything went black as she slipped into a deep, unnatural sleep.
Daisy watched as Serena slipped into unconsciousness. With a pounding heart, she gently nudged Serena’s shoulder. And she called out tentatively.“Ms Gray?
Serena remained unresponsive, fast asleep. After confirming she was truly out cold, Daisy pulled out her phone. Her finger hovered over the sand button, wavering with hesitation.
Daisy glanced back at Serena, who was lying unconscious on the sofa. Guilt and anxiety twisted inside her. She bit down so hard on her lower Ep that a trace of blood seeped out.
Finally, Daisy squeezed her eyes shut and, with trembling fingers, tapped send. Ms. Gray is out cold.
In her drug–induced hare, Serena faintly heard the soft creak of a door opening. Through the log of her consciousness, she sensed someone speaking nearby.
“Nicely done,” Erika smirked triumphantly as she gazed down at Serena sprawled on the sofa.
“W–Will she be okay?” Daisy hesitated.
