What?
"Mr. Lindberg, it's pointless to lie about this." Allison said.
"Allison, I never lie." He lowered his head, his breath brushing against her ear as he spoke, "Not like you, never a true word."
"When have I lied?" Allison retorted subconsciously.
But then she remembered. Indeed, she had lied. She lied when she promised Penelope. But Lucian said he never touched Penelope, never said those things to her - how could that be? Allison was surprised. Lucian hated being lied to, yet he himself was a liar.
A ringtone broke the silence in the car. It was Lucian's phone.
Lucian picked up his phone from the driver's seat, his brow furrowed slightly at the caller ID.
From her angle, Allison could perfectly see that it was Penelope calling. She watched as Lucian prepared to answer the call. Suddenly, she grabbed his hand, yanking it towards her, causing Lucian's phone to fall on the seat. Then, she sat up and kissed him. She didn't want him to answer the call!
She didn't like Penelope. She hated Penelope!
Allison's initiative surprised Lucian, his pupils shrinking slightly. He held her tight, deepening the kiss. The phone kept ringing, but the pair in the car ignored it.
Lucian knew she did it on purpose.
When the kiss ended, Allison was panting, her chest rising and falling rhythmically. The phone had long stopped ringing. She seemed to only now realize what she had just done. She sat up, lifting her head to look into the man's eyes.
Lucian had been watching her all along.
Lucian was also pondering this. He had been in the box all night, drinking the same alcohol as everyone else. And the drink was delivered by Allison. She had no reason to drug him. He had accused her of drugging him out of anger. Actually, Lucian knew very well that Allison would never do such a thing.
But he did feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he was on fire.
"Did you notice anything strange when you brought the wine up from the cellar?" Lucian asked.
"I didn't." Allison suddenly remembered something. She pursed her lips. The wine wasn't brought up by her, but handed to her by Tina.
Furthermore, if it weren't for Carol looking for her, she would have been on duty on the second floor tonight.
Both Carol and Tina were Serena's subordinates. Suddenly, it seemed as if Allison had figured something out.
