Chapter 1005 Messy Affairs (1/2)

James and Jean headed straight for J Hotel as quickly as they could. Meanwhile, after the phone call with James, Zed turned to Julie and found her bent on the floor with the cup of coffee overturned. ”What's the matter with you? Be careful,” he said impatiently.

Julie looked up at Zed and hastened to apologize. ”I'm sorry. I'll clean it up right away.”

”No. Just leave if there's nothing else. I'll find someone else to clean that up,” Zed answered coldly.

He was dismissing her, and in such an indifferent manner. Julie didn't think that Zed would drive her away so quickly. She searched her head for an excuse to stay a bit longer because the drug had yet to take effect.

”Zed, why are you always so cold towards me? You know that I am capable. I can help you with the hotel business, and I'll be the best assistant, so why...” Julie said, her voice trailing off to affect sadness.

As she was speaking, an unnamable heat started to spread in her body. 'Why is it so hot?'

she thought to herself, pulling down her dress in a subconscious attempt to make herself more comfortable. Zed saw the motion and frowned. He was growing more and more weary of this woman.

”Whatever you're doing, Julie, stop it right now,” he hissed.

Julie just shook her head and fluttered her eyelids seductively at him. ”Zed, it's so hot. I feel like my whole body is burning,” she moaned.

Julie's face was flushed from the effects of the drug. Her eyes were half-lidded and she spoke with a teasing lilt.

Zed recognized the heat that ran through him. He had felt this the last time.

Despite the tea, the drug still had some, albeit much weaker effect on Zed. He curled his fist and fought to keep himself sober. The last time when he had felt the same heat, Julie had also been there, tempting him.

But at the moment, it was hard enough to keep his head cool, so he did not bother to think too much about the connection between the two incidents.

Right now, the only thing Zed was certain of was that Julie was dangerous, and he had to get her out.
