A Graduation Gift

Chapter 274 Getting Drugged (Part Three)

Of course she knew Rufus would still have a bit of self control. However he was already halfway induced.

This drug was particularly strong. It could make people dizzy and hallucinate. Rufus wouldn't be able to resist it much longer. Rufus's vision was slowly blurring. He was growing dizzier and dizzier, as he tried to snap out his thoughts.

Why was he suddenly so dizzy? Was it because of the heat? No. It must have been something he drank.

He stilled his thoughts until he finally came to the conclusion that there must've been something in his wine.

"Amanda! Y-You drugged me!" Rufus groaned, mind refusing to cooperate. He couldn't believe that sweet Amanda would ever do such a thing.

Amanda laughed darkly, her lips shining against the dim light as she leaned in to unbotton his shirt.

"Rufus, I've only had eyes for you. But you never, ever reciprocate my love. But with the marvellous drug you just ingested, I can now have you all to myself. You won't even complain!"

Amanda said, voice growing darker as she let her hunger and desire take over her.

"I love you, Rufus. I love you so much,"

Rufus could hear her words, but all he could think of now was Cassandra.

In spite of his body going numb, his thoughts started to clear as he focused more on Cassandra.

Amanda kept saying how much she loved him, but all he could hear was Cassandra's voice playing in his head—she had once said that she loved him.

Whenever Cassandra said those words, it was always so careful and gentle.

He could feel his wholeheartedly surrender to her whenever he would hear her say those words to him.

Groaning, Rufus fought back and pushed Amanda harshly until she fell onto the ground. She immediately sat back up and looked at him, bewildered.

"G-Get out. Get out of here!"

Rufus screamed, face tightened as he tried to focus back on his body.

Amanda was stunned. She bought the drug thinking that it could overpower him immediately, but he was fighting through it. She clicked her tongue when she realized there were no men who could resist the damn thing. Rufus's willpower was so much stronger.

She refused to give up, however. She stood up and tried to come near him.

Rufus was just as stubborn. When she got close enough, he shoved her away again.

"I'm warning you, Amanda. You come near me again, and I'll make sure you regret it. If you still want to talk to me, you should best get out now."

Rufus gritted his teeth, his vision already nothing but blurs of colors. His mind had gone haywire, changing Amanda's figure into something like Cassandra's.

"Leave!"

Rufus roared. He knew he wouldn't be able to control himself if she stayed a few seconds longer. He wouldn't be able to resist her advances if she kept up with them.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Amanda was looking between him and the door, not knowing if she should stay or go. She resigned to leave him alone. Biting her lip, she took one last look at Rufus before dashing out of the room.

Rufus's shoulders tensed as the door slammed from beside him. He quickly yanked the tie loose from his neck and shed his cloak as he laid down on the bed. He moaned as he felt his own fingers against his hot, tingling skin.

It racked him with so much pleasure that his hands fumbled with his button-up shirt. He had to force himself to get up and rush to the bathroom.

Turning on the cold water switch, he let the cooling water hit directly on his body, wet his clothes, and slightly lower the temperature of his hot body.

The cold water and the drug contended with each other, submerging Rufus's body in a world between ice and fire, and the two forces were twisting together in his body.

The heat gradually subsided, and he slowly regained his consciousness.

Rufus opened his eyes in the flushing of water, and his vision recovered.

He cursed Amanda for drugging him. Something that strong just had to be illegal.

Rufus knew Amanda as an innocent girl. He never would have thought that she was capable of doing such a thing. Had she really stooped so low?

Did Amanda really love him? Or was she just really hungry for him?

He knew that whatever Amanda did to him, Cassandra would only always be the one on his mind. What had just happened proved that.

Rufus turned off the faucet and lost all his strength.

He took off all his clothes, walked slowly to the bed and fell asleep instantly.

Amanda opened the door and entered, her smile still blooming wild.

She was prepared for this. She studied the effects of the drug down to the last detail. She knew that apart from the drug having an aphrodisiac effect, it also had something to make the user fall asleep. The tranquilizer was enough to knock him out for ten whole hours.

Amanda slowly went to the bed and laid beside him. Rufus was so out of it that he could hardly feel Amanda laying her head against his shoulder, as she let sleep take over her.

As morning arrived, the sun shined on Rufus's face. He blinked the intense brightness away until his eyes flickered open.

The first thing that greeted him was Amanda's face. She was looking right at him with a gentle smile, and her eyes seemingly overwhelmed with love.

It took only a few seconds for Rufus's mind to register and he shot straight up. He was now completely awake.

"What are you doing here?"

Rufus asked, frowning upon the sight of her. He was well aware that she had left. He knew, because he knew what he had done. Why didn't he notice her coming back?

"Rufus, last night... have you forgotten?"

Amanda smiled kindly. It was so different from the smile that she had last night.

Rufus's heart sank when he realized that he was set up.

That drug wasn't just an aphrodisiac. He truly didn't expect Amanda to be so sneaky!

"Rufus!" a booming yell called from behind the door. "You didn't tell me you were coming to Paris! Didn't you know I was visiting the branch office?"

The voice said as it got louder and louder, until the door was suddenly pushed open and Charlie rushed in. He stopped by the door as he suddenly realized what he just walked into.
