Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316

Sounds of people toasting each other could be heard from the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.

Paul stood up from his seat and raised his wine glass in Rainie's direction. “Come, let us congratulate our new Best Actress for acquiring the role of the female lead in ‘Time Warp.’”

As soon as he rose to his feet, the others followed suit and raised their glasses at Rainie.

A little flabbergasted at herself being so well-received, Rainie followed up with her own toast at everyone. “Thank you! I'm grateful for the help I received from my superiors and colleagues alike along the way. I will work harder to honor the company.”

“All right!”

“Great job!”

After a few cheers, the bustle in the room resumed.

“This meal is on the company! Eat all you can and have fun! Don't worry about the expenses.”

“Sure thing!”

As the focus of the night, Rainie was toasted by everyone present.

By the end of it, she could no longer take it and had her assistant drink in her stead.

“Ms. Yeanisky, Sophie is even more of a lightweight than you. Look at her. She's already drunk. You should carry on.”

The person who spoke to her was a stylist. As she walked up to Rainie, she handed one of the two glasses of wine she held to the latter.

Rainie smiled in resignation before taking it and took a few swigs.

The stylist curled her lips into a smile and backed away silently. When she made sure no one was watching, she took out her phone to send a text message.

I've drugged her. She should almost be at her limit and will head to the restroom soon. I'll leave the rest to you.

In the room next door, Rose smiled sinisterly after reading the message.

She found her subordinate's number and made a phone call.

“Have you arranged for the presence of the man and the press?”

“Don't worry. We've made all the necessary arrangements. The moment Rainie steps out of the room, we'll render her unconscious and send her to the room on the third floor where four hooligans are on the wait. The press should be on its way. After that, we'll lead them to the room on the third floor for a live broadcast while disguised as the restaurant crew.”

Rose smiled with contentment. “Well done. I'll be waiting for your good news.”

“Of course.”

She set her phone aside after the call ended and was about to celebrate the occasion with a few sips of wine.

At that very moment, there was a knock on the door to the room.

“Who is it?”

She received no verbal reply as the person outside continued knocking.

Worried that the knocks might attract attention from next door, she got up and opened the sliding door.

Before she could even register who was outside, she heard someone snap their fingers, and her consciousness gradually faded.

At the same time, Bailey arched her brows and nimbly squeezed her way into the room.

She had taken Rose under her control using hypnosis.

After she scanned the room's interior, her gaze landed on the wine glass on the table.

Haha. She is celebrating even before her scheme has succeeded. What a vicious woman. I'll teach her a thing or two about using such underhanded tactics despite not having the grit and skill to pull them off.

Even if Bailey were to ignore the fact that Rainie's downfall would negatively impact the box office of “Time Warp,” given that Rainie would be among the cast, Bailey was intent on protecting the girl who had secured the affection of Sylvester, who had, in turn, acknowledged her relationship with Artemis.

Thus, Rose just had the awful luck to be captured by her.

She strolled toward the table while retrieving a vial that she emptied into the glass of wine before handing it to Rose.

“Drink it.”

Still under the control of Bailey's hypnosis, Rose wasn't self-aware at all.
