Chapter 97

Author: About
Watching Julian's expression darken, Athena felt a surge of frustration. 'Damn it, what am I even saying? Has the drug really made me lose all common sense? Am I basically implying that he's some kind of escort?'

Although that was exactly what had crossed her mind, she couldn't possibly say it out loud.

Athena hurried to explain, "Wait, no... Mr. Sterling... I didn't mean you were... that. I meant I'd pay you..."

Her explanation only made things worse. If any other woman had dared to speak to

    Of course Athena was disappointed, mostly because she'd wasted her money. If she had known she wasn't actually going to "buy" him, she never would have transferred the money in advance.Athena had the distinct feeling she'd been thoroughly played, but there was no way she could point at Julian and accuse him of refusing to let her "buy" him. She could only swallow her frustration."No!" Athena turned her head away stubbornly. She didn't want to look at him right now. "I'm fine now. You can go."With that, she pulled the blanket over her face.This was so humiliating. How was she supposed to face him again after this?But after lying there for quite a while, she realized the person beside her hadn't moved.Hesitantly, Athena peeked out from beneath the blanket. To her surprise, Julian was still sitting on the sofa beside her bed.She stared at him with wide eyes, completely baffled. "Y... You're still here?"Was he actually planning to stay so she could "buy" him after all? But

    Sophia couldn't help asking, "What's your relationship with her?"It was rare to see her brother, who had always kept his distance from women, show genuine concern for one.If this woman was his girlfriend and had been drugged this badly, he should have been the one taking care of her. Why would he go through the trouble of calling Sophia instead?On the other hand, if he had no feelings for the woman at all, then based on everything Sophia knew about him, there was no way he would involve himself in someone else's affairs."She's my assistant," Julian replied calmly.Sophia looked thoroughly unconvinced. "Just an assistant? You actually called me here because of her? And you're planning to stay by her side all night?"She refused to believe Julian was the kind of considerate boss who cared that much about his employees. He had never shown this level of concern for his own sister.Julian didn't bother arguing. He simply told her, "You can leave after giving her the injection."

    Julian gripped her chin and lifted it. "So you're saying yes?"At that moment, Athena felt unbearably uncomfortable, as though something inside her were consuming her. She couldn't refuse even if she wanted to. But paying him 150,000 dollars for a single night was far beyond what she could afford."Can I pay in installments?" she asked, forcing herself to stay composed as she tried to negotiate.Julian studied her with an unreadable expression. "At least pay 100,000 dollars upfront."Athena was speechless.An upfront payment? Was she buying a house?She was only asking him for help. This man was shamelessly taking advantage of her situation and demanding an outrageous price. He intended to squeeze every last penny out of his little assistant.Unfortunately, she had no other choice. Even if he was exploiting her vulnerability, she could only accept his terms.Athena gritted her teeth. "Deal!"A flicker of restrained desire crossed Julian's eyes. He pushed her onto the bed and k

Mr. Sterling... I didn't mean you were... that. I meant I'd pay you..."Her explanation only made things worse. If any other woman had dared to speak to Julian that way, she would have paid a terrible price. But because it was Athena, Julian didn't lose his temper. Instead, he forced himself to suppress the emotions surging inside him."How much can you give me?" he asked in a low, hoarse voice.Athena stared at him in disbelief, barely able to contain her surprise.Did that mean he agreed?She excitedly moved closer and reached for his arm, completely unaware that his body had gone rigid."Why don't you name a price? I'll pay whatever you

    Athena's almond-shaped eyes shimmered with tears, and a warm flush spread across her delicate face. Half from pain and half from desire, her expression was a tangled mix of emotions. She looked dangerously tempting.Julian felt heat surge through his body as he watched her. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he found himself completely unable to look away.At that moment, she was breathtaking. Every movement she made stirred the deepest instincts within him as a man.Although he usually possessed exceptional self-control and even leaned toward abstinence, he was now facing the woman he had long desired. She lay before him in such an alluring state that remaining unaffected was impossible.Julian's gaze deepened. "How do you want me to help you?"Athena almost rolled her eyes. 'Does this man really have to pretend to be innocent in front of me?'She had been drugged and was already suffering this much. How else did he think he could help her?She anxiously grabbed his hand and rubbed h

    Athena's lips parted as she gasped for breath. The blazing heat raging through her body burned away the last of her reason. "I feel so awful..."Yet Julian remained in the room, showing no sign of leaving.Athena knew that in her current condition, being alone in a room with an adult man was extremely dangerous.Summoning the last shred of her willpower, she pushed herself upright. "Mr. Sterling... you... need to leave..."Julian stood beside the bed, looking down at her. A mocking chuckle escaped his lips. "If I leave, what are you going to do?"In her condition, there was no way she could manage on her own."Then... could you please... make a phone call? Call 911 for me?" Athena pleaded between ragged breaths.Before she could finish, Julian cut her off. "What? You want your husband to come save you?"Athena fell silent.After marrying Ethan, he had never even been willing to touch her. How could she possibly count on him at a moment like this?She had only wanted Julian to
