The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1294

When Holley heard the private detective's words, she couldn't help but nervously look around to find out were Bernard was. Although the private detective was on standby to protect her, she still felt immensely insecure as the enemy was hidden in the dark.

She never thought that Rachel would one day want to kill her. Now, either Rachel or Holley would end up dead.

Since Rachel was so heartless, Holley had no choice but to strike first.

When Holley knew Rachel's ill intentions, she also arranged a killer to make a little accident for Rachel. Holley believed that the good news of Rachel being robbed and killed by the gangsters would soon come tomorrow as well.

Meanwhile, Bernard entered the club and pretended to see Holley by accident, so he acted a little surprised when he saw her. If Holley hadn't known that he and Rachel secretly connived, she would have thought that it was just an ordinary encounter.

Nervousness coursed through Holley. She couldn't feel completely relieved until she tucked her hair to the side and ensured that her private bodyguard was just a few meters away.

"Miss Ye, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here," Bernard greeted. He looked expressionless when he said those words. However, he continued his acting and went back to his usual grim face after he feigned surprise.

"Bernard? It's really a coincidence. Are you here for a drink too?"

Holley spoke as if she was shocked as well, as if they had met unexpectedly.

"The wine here is good. I like to come here," Bernard said. He then pointed to the wine cabinet behind the bar counter.

"It's really good. Would you like a drink?" To be honest, Holley was really curious about how Bernard planned to kill her tonight. After all, it was a Friday night and the club was crowded. She thought that Bernard wouldn't be that foolish to do such an illegal thing in public.

And so, how would he kill her in secret?

Confusion filled Holley's mind as she sat idly on the chair.

Suddenly, Bernard tapped her slightly on the arm to remind her that the bartender had brought them two drinks.

However, it wasn't until the bartender put the wine on the table and the glass made a faint sound that Holley seemed to wake up from her daydream.

Oh! Wine! If Bernard had added something to the wine to poison her, everything Holley was confused about before would be clear. At that moment, Holley briefly recalled the psychedelic drugs she had added to Black's wine last time. If the drug Bernard had added today wasn't of the same kind but a different one...

"Sorry. I'm a little tired today, I lost my mind again," Holley said and tried to calm down.

"It's okay, I understand. Sometimes it's easy to get shocked when you're tired. You should rest more."

It seemed that Bernard had become a bit more abnormal now. Usually if he said something, his words never exceeded two sentences. But tonight he even showed concern for Holley politely, and it was quite strange.

Bernard's weird manners made Holley more alert. She lifted and touched the wine glasses, but never took a sip.
