Sabrina just fall asleep at six in the morning after she confirm from Samantha that it"s a flu. Veronica caught a flu? That"s quite impossible. Maybe the drug make her like that though she had drank a little. But she vomit it all. They have to know if the drug responded on the body immediately.
Her husband left early since Tony call for an emergency leave to take care of Veronica. Soon, she woke up from Samantha"s call.
"There"s 2 percent of the drug on her blood but it"s not fatal. Her body is strong and her temperature drops little by little."
"Good. Let me know what you find. We have to risk a little to get samples from that club. Only Veronica can get in."
"I got it." Sabrina hang up and start making a plan for Veronica. She has to be safe though their mission is dangerous.

Tony gets irritated on her phone that keeps on ringing. Then he answer it.
"Veronica, where are you. It"s past ten…"
"h.e.l.lo, this is Tony. Veronica"s fiancé." Since he took her virginity, he will take responsibility for it.
"h.e.l.lo, Mr. Lawson." The voice of the woman become suddenly seductive with a little formalty. "May I speak with Veronica?"
"Veronica have a flu. She came to my penthouse wet and shuddering. I wonder what happened last night."
"Uhm, did she say anything to you?"
"She hasn"t." He lied. "I am sure she was with you last night… I am worried about her." He sound really worried to trick the person on the other side of the line.
"Maybe she drank a lot last night."
"Hmm. I am sorry but Veronica has to take a week of sick leave. Can you please help me with her papers?"
"Su-sure, Mr. Lawson."
"Thank you." Tony hang up and put her phone away. He then check the porridge that he"s making and put a lot of ginger in it so she"ll get better soon.
Veronica open her eyes as he place the table tray at the edge of the bed and help her sit up. He adjust the dextrose and patted her head.
"I"ll feed you."
Tony feed her and she didn"t complain on the taste of porridge. She finish it all since the ginger was cut into very small piece that almost look like a powder. She"s sweating already and he wipe those off with tissue.
"I plan on making love to you all day—but because of that d.a.m.n flu of yours—"
"We can do it every night after I get well." She said in hoa.r.s.e voice but it still sound s.e.xy. He kiss her forehead.
"Get well soon so I could have you all day and night."
"Is there a call from my office?"
"Yes. I already talk to your boss and you got a week of sick leave."
"Hmm." Tony was worried and keep staying by her side. Until she sweat it all.
"What more if you drank a whole of it? Now tell me about it? How did Sabrina get into this and what is your real relations.h.i.+p with Sabrina?"
"You ask too many questions…" She ma.s.sage her temple. Tony has to know all of it.
"Do you want me to run a background check on you then? You either tell me or I"ll run a background check." "Don"t be stupid." She scowl. She"s sick yet he"s here interrogating her. How cruel? Tony was furious because she almost got raped and he wasn"t there to save her. He was angry at himself for not protecting her enough.
"So, have you thought about the date of our wedding?"
"There"s no wedding." She turn back from him.
"But you are already my fiancée. Don"t you deny that!"
"We can only be on that stage. We can"t get married." She mutter. "Stop it you are making my head hurt."
"I"m sorry." He kisses her head and started ma.s.saging it until she fell asleep. She slept for twelve hours and only woke up to pee. As what Samantha had told him, the dextrose would help cleanse her system.
He has been monitoring her and maybe it was just a simple flu. She had a cold and he has to make lot of other stuffs—herbal that he could find in the market just to help her.

Sabrina has been quiet inside her office, listening to Mozart"s compositions and then to the rain. She"s sitting in the middle of her office in her villa. She was wondering how those people could have party drugs, drink a lot, have appet.i.te for intercourse and still work efficiently at the office after.
Brandy was a utility in the building and he reports to her about everything. She pinch her nose bridge. They have so much of it than just those party drugs. Then she has to know what kind of drug they put in Veronica"s drink, only a little amount and vomit it after. The usual drug would after 10-15 minutes.
"What did you invent now?" she mutter. Then her phone rings and it was from Samantha. She answered it immediately and put it to her ear.
She listen to Samantha"s explanation and though it was shocking. She remain calm and instead of getting angry, she smirk and once she put her phone down she started laughing in a devious way like a psychopath.
People said that she hada psychopath"s head. But a psychopath would forever lack empathy. She had an empathy. She just wanted revenge.
"Oh, Eros, Eros…" She mentioned the name of the agent that betray them. Who almost killed her best agents and bring down EPUA. He stole the ingredient that EPUA made and she need a safer place for their new inventions and that is her husband"s new laboratory.
"You betray me, now you"ll got a taste of my power."
