She waited for his reply, knowing his team was preoccupied. She had tampered with their water, ensuring they
would not stay by Ethan's side, possibly even needing medical attention. She was confident he would accept her
feigned concern.
Ethan glanced at his phone, still awaiting Neville. A minute ticked by, and Neville still hadn't appeared.
Growing concerned, Ethan started toward the restroom, his gait unsteady.
Tina stepped into his path. “Mr. Mitchell, are you alright? You don’t look steady. Letget you home.”
Though Ethan had drunk heavily, he was far from incapacitated. He recognized Tina's intentions—she wasn’t the
first to try such tactics. With a rough shove, he snapped, “Get lost!”
Tina swallowed her irritation but persisted. “You're stumbling like this; you clearly need someone to look after
you. Don’t be so stubborn. You've always been kind to my brother, so why don’t you lettake care of you
now? I'm just trying to help.”
As she tugged at him, Ethan staggered, nearly losing his balance. Tina seized the moment, slipping her arms
around his waist, the warm notes of his cologne enveloping her, making her reluctant to release him.

barked, “Have you no shame?”
Tina clung tighter, saying, “Even when you're drunk, you're still so strong. What's wrong withholding you?
I'm not even upset that you're coming onto me, and you're pushingaway?”
From the shadows, a man in a suit stealthily captured several photos. Though the alcohol slowed Ethan's reflexes
and sapped sof his strength, he was still far stronger than Tina. It didn’t take long for him to push her away,
shouting, “Get lost!”
Tina glanced toward the suited man lurking at the entrance of another room, who flashed an “OK” signal.
Satisfied, she decided to give up on further pestering Ethan.
She said, “I was only trying to help. You're clearly drunk, and your people aren't even around. But if you're going
to be ungrateful, fine. Don’t blme if you trip and hurt yourself later.”

She smoothed her outfit and strode toward the elevator. The suited man slipped in behind her, showing her the
photos he had taken. She grinned, impressed. “No wonder you're an entertainment reporter. Your angles are
brilliant—it really looks like Ethan was holding me.”
Several minutes passed before Neville finally showed up, looking like he was in serious distress. Clutching his
stomach with a grimace, he muttered, “I'm sorry, Mr. Mitchell. | feel awful. | really can’t drive right now. I've got
