Halsey and Dwight were walking down the hallway when Halsey asked, “Who was that woman earlier? Why did she bring you to a hotel room?”
Dwight pulled his arm away from Halsey’s grasp. “I’m not obligated to answer your questions.”
Halsey raised her hand and gently touched his forehead. “You’re burning up! Are you sick?”
Her soft, warm hand against his skin, along with the faint scent of her fragrance, caused Dwight’s heart to race.
He quickly removed her hand from his forehead. “Don’t touch me.”
His voice was cold and sharp, and there was a hint of irritation in his tone that made Halsey’s pale eyes well up.
She had always been pampered, a sheltered lady who had never experienced such rejection. She looked at him, hurt, wondering if he really disliked her that much.
She hadn’t done anything wrong.
Her sad, dejected gaze made Dwight stiffen, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned and walked away.
However, Halsey trailed behind him like a shadow.
They both entered the elevator, Dwight silent and Halsey following suit.
Just as the doors closed, the elevator suddenly jolted twice before plummeting downward at a terrifying speed. Halsey screamed in panic, her body jerking forward from the sudden drop.
Before she could collide with anything, a strong hand reached out, grabbing her arm and yanking her safely into an embrace.
Dwight held her tightly, keeping her steady in his arms. “The elevator’s malfunctioning. Don’t be scared.”
Her fear gradually faded as she felt the warmth of his body, and a strange comfort bloomed in her chest. Just moments ago, she had thought he couldn’t stand her, but now she realized he wasn’t as indifferent as she had imagined. He was looking out for her.
Halsey tilted her head up to look at him.
“You’re really burning up. Are you sick? Should we go to the hospital?”
Dwight kept holding her arm, his voice hoarse. “No need.”
“But you feel like a furnace!” Halsey said, reaching her hand to touch his waist.
The moment her small hand made contact with his sensitive skin, Dwight’s breath hitched.
He wasn’t thinking about anything inappropriate–he had never had a girlfriend or been involved with a woman before.
Penny had been right about one thing: he had needs, and right now, his body was reacting strongly, especially with the intense aphrodisiac he had inhaled.
Dwight lowered his head and kissed Halsey’s soft lips.
Halsey’s eyes widened, her pupils dilating in surprise.
What was he doing? Was he kissing her?

His kiss was urgent and passionate, overwhelming Halsey, she felt her legs give way and began to slip to the floor, but Dwight quickly caught her, pulling her into his arms.
He paused, his breath heavy and hot against her face. “I’ve been drugged.”
Halsey’s mind was foggy. “Wh–what?”
Dwight looked into her eyes. “Is it okay if I kiss you?”
Halsey’s body felt weak, her mind swirling with conflicting thoughts. She raised her arms to wrap around his neck, standing on her tiptoes to meet his lips.
Neither of them had much experience, but after their last encounter, they found themselves tangled in a kiss, like two lovebirds entwined.
Halsey’s heart raced. She was really into Dwight, more than she had realized. The kiss felt so sweet. As their kiss deepened, Dwight shifted, pushing her gently against a corner. His hands slid lower. Halsey’s face flushed bright red, and she buried her cheek in his chest, whispering, “Dwight…”
