Raina
I've been restless in my seat for a while. I feel very uneasy with the looks Mr. Wang is giving me. I'm currently inside a private room in a luxury hotel and eating together with some big bosses of the company I work for and our new client, Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang is the Project Manager of the newly constructed building of their company.
Out of all those who bid for this project, our company was chosen to design the interior of their newly built building. And among the many interior designers in our company, Mr. Wang requested me to handle the project.
That should have been favorable for me because I have a new project, but the problem is Mr. Wang. He was lusting over me. This is not the first time we've met. The first time we met, he offered me dirty deals. He would help me get a project in exchange for spending a night with him.
Since then, I have avoided him whenever I see that he is also present at the events I attend.
Earlier, I couldn't refuse one of the big bosses of the company I work for when he said I should join the dinner meeting because the client wanted me to join them since I am their interior designer.
I was seated next to Mr. Wang and he has been subtly taking advantage of me. He pretends to accidentally touch my hand and his hand brushes against my legs. If it weren't for the three big bosses of the company I work for sitting in front of us, I would have thrown the pineapple juice I was drinking on the face of the old pervert.
"C'mon, Raina. Don't embarrass me in front of your big bosses. Drink with me. Just one shot," Mr. Wang insisted on me drinking alcohol.
"Give in to Mr. Wang's request, Raina. Consider it your thanks to him for getting a big project for you. Well, if it weren't for him, this project wouldn't have come to you," agreed Mr. Tuvera, our company's project manager.
I secretly smirked. Mr. Wang probably thought I would be grateful to him because he requested that I handle that project. If I had known he was the project manager of our new client, I wouldn't have signed the contract.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tuvera. It's not that I don't want to drink, but I really can't drink alcohol. I'm pregnant. Drinking alcohol would be harmful to my baby," I apologized to him.
I saw Mr. Wang's face suddenly darken while Mr. Tuvera was embarrassed and immediately apologized to me.
"I'm sorry. I don't know that you're already pregnant," he sincerely apologized to me.
"You're married now. And you're pregnant," said Mr. Wang while nodding his head. He picked up the glass of wine on the table and drank its contents. "Well, if you can't drink alcohol, then pineapple juice again."
Mr. Wang called a room attendant and then whispered to him. The room attendant went out and returned with pineapple juice in his hands.
I was forced to accept the pineapple juice handed to me by Mr. Wang, but I only sipped a little because I didn't want to overdo it. My stomach feels sour when I drink too much pineapple juice.
"I'm sorry. I can't finish it. It's also forbidden for me to drink too much of this juice," I apologized to Mr. Wang with a serious face.
"It's okay, Raina. I'm very happy that you accepted the juice I gave," Mr. Wang replied with a broad smile.
The four men in front of me continued eating and drinking while I only ate a little. I often glanced at my wristwatch because I'd been itching to leave the room.
"Excuse me, gentlemen. I'll just go to the comfort room," I excused myself when I couldn't take it anymore. Carrying my small handbag, I left the private room before they could nod.
I pretended to go to the comfort room, but the truth is I won't return to the private room. I will just send a text message to Mr. Tuvera that I can't come back because my husband picked me up.
As I exited the private room, Evo coincidentally chatted with me. He asked if I had dinner already. I replied to him and said that I was at the Lux Hotel because I had a dinner meeting with a client along with my big bosses.
I had just sent my reply to Evo when I suddenly felt dizzy. I shook my head vigorously. I felt an unusual warmth in my body and started sweating. What is happening to me?
"Are you okay, Raina?" I heard Mr. Wang's voice beside me. I didn't know he had followed me.
"I-I'm okay," I replied to him. I leaned against the wall because I also felt weakness in my knees.
"Come. Let me help you. Let's go and rest first in the room I reserved," said Mr. Wang.
"No! Leave me alone!" I strongly objected when he assisted me and guided me to the room he reserved. But I didn't have the strength to stop him. The red signal was flashing in my mind. I guessed he instructed the room attendant to put some kind of drug in the juice he gave me, which is why I'm feeling like this. He has bad intentions towards me.
As we walked towards the room he had reserved, I secretly called Evo. It's a good thing I hadn't turned off my cellphone yet.
"Let me go, Mr. Wang. My husband will not forgive you if you continue with your evil plan against me," I said to him breathlessly. I was breathless because I was trying to suppress the heat I was feeling. I think he mixed an aphrodisiac into the juice I drank. And because I only drank a little juice, the drug didn't take effect on me immediately.
"I have no ill intentions towards you, Raina. I'm just taking you to my room so you can rest properly," Mr. Wang replied to me as if he was genuinely concerned about me.
When we entered the room he had reserved, he pushed me onto the bed.
"You shameless, old hag! I will have you arrested!" I threatened him. I felt fear because Evo might arrive late and this lustful old man might succeed in his dark plan against me.
I heard Evo's panicked voice on the other line. But I couldn't answer him because Mr. Wang quickly snatched my cellphone from me, turned it off, and threw it on the floor.
"I've liked you for so long, Raina. I've wanted to taste your body for a long time. But you're playing hard to get. And now I find out you're married and pregnant," Mr. Wang said with glaring eyes. "If you had given me your virginity, you would be bathing in money now. We wouldn't have reached this situation."
"You're a beast!" I shouted angrily at him. I tried to get up but he suddenly pinned me down and started kissing my neck. "Get off me, monster!"
I gathered my remaining strength and kicked him with my right foot. Mr. Wang fell to the foot of the bed but quickly got up again.
"Do you really want me to hurt you before you give in to me?" he said angrily, then gave me a strong slap on my face. My vision suddenly darkened and I was no longer aware of what happened next.
