Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 The Fever

Selena’s eyes snapped open. That bouquet of flowers! That’s right! That bouquet of flowers was brought by the waiter along with the wine. The waiter only told her that Megan had told him to watch her drink the wine, so her first thought at that time was that the wine must have been drugged, which was why she didn’t even notice the bouquet of flowers! The flowers must have been drugged as well, and the drug was emitted through the fragrance of the flowers.

How vicious could this woman get?! Selena couldn’t help applauding Megan for being crafty and malicious enough, so much so that she didn’t manage to guard against her! Besides, Megan was determined to make her take the drug. How much does she really hate me?

Pierre looked at Selena’s reddened face and guessed what had happened. “I can help you with that.”

Only now did Selena look at Pierre. The handsome face that could charm people off their socks was not something that ordinary people could resist. Moreover, she was drugged now, so she couldn’t wait to launch herself into his arms.

“Drive to the hotel.” She definitely could not let Juniper see her like this.

After they arrived at the hotel, they booked a room. Once inside, Selena filled a large glass with water and drank it.

“I told you that I can help you. We’ve slept together once, so there’s no difference whether we sleep together once or a million times, right?”

Pierre’s words instantly reminded Selena about their previous encounter. That’s right. There’s no difference at all. With my worth, I’m just sleeping with a gigolo, right? I’ll just pay him; why should I care so much?

Then, Selena looked at Pierre before licking her dry lips and walking toward him; she couldn’t bear it anymore. She felt like there was a fire in her body that was burning her from inside out. Right now, she needed water, and Pierre was her water.

At the moment, several copies of the handsome and charming face of Pierre swirled in front of her dazed eyes. Selena had to admit that even if she hadn’t been drugged, she wouldn’t have been able to resist a man as charming as Pierre. Hence, she wrapped her arms around Pierre’s neck and stood on her toes. Pierre felt her arms tightening around him, and her blushing face up close was sexier than usual. They were so close that they could hear each other’s heartbeats; so close that her eyelashes swept across his face.

When Selena’s lips were about to touch Pierre’s, she suddenly pushed him away hard and ran into the bathroom. The sound of a door slamming loudly was then heard.

Pierre froze in his movements.

“Don’t you come in!” Selena’s voice sounded urgent and a little weak.

“I said I can help you.”

“I don’t need your help!” First, Selena used the shower to give herself an icy cold shower, and then she filled the bathtub with a pool of cold water. After taking a deep breath, she immersed her entire body in the bathtub, and the bone-chilling coldness instantly sobered her up.

“There’s no difference whether we sleep together once or a million times.”

“F*ck you! I’m a clean woman, okay? Previously, if I hadn’t drunk too much wine, I wouldn’t have…” Selena’s voice trailed off.

The corner of Pierre’s lips were curved up as he stood in the doorway. She acted like a veteran that day, only to give herself away as soon as she spoke.

After a short silence, Selena shouted toward the outside, “Hey, why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Say what?”

“This water is really too cold. It’s freezing my bones! Talk to me to divert my attention.”

However, Pierre simply sat at the door of the bathroom and thought, Turns out that this woman is trying to cool herself down by submerging herself in cold water. I guess she’s still a little smart.

“Hey, the two of us have sort of known each other for three days, but I don’t know what your name is yet.”

“Pierre Moody.” Moody was Pierre’s mother’s maiden name.

“Pierre Moody? I suppose it fits you.” He’s really a moody and aloof man.

Meanwhile, Selena remained submerged in the cold water, trembling from head to toe. To divert her own attention, she kept talking to Pierre, who responded to her intermittently.
