[BOOK 1] The Typhoon's Wife

Chapter 192 - Friends For Life (4)

Qi Cheng and Alicia danced swiftly and exuberently for the next few songs.Though Alicia had fun dancing,at the back of her mind,her thoughts were pre occupied with Ryu and what he must be upto.Just then a slow song started and she found an excuse to get off the dance floor as QI Cheng moved to take her into his arms.Pretending to look for the washroom,Alicia looked for Onita.She finally spotted Onita drinking some kind of mocktail at their table.Catching hold of the girl,Alicia dragged Onita by the wrist and together they moved towards the washroom.Alicia was feeling angry since Onita was now very drunk.Supporting her weight,Alicia dragged the girl to the washroom and made her wash her face..Onita looked a little pissed off as her make up had been washed but at least she was now a bit sober.Leaving Onita to do her business inside,Alicia came out of the washroom to make a call to her hubby..Onita was acting clingy and wanted to stay longer and Alicia could not in good conscience leave her there.Ryu did not answer her call but she recieved a text message from him.It said,"Cannot talk now.Will talk later."

Fuming at this automated reply,Alicia paced in the corridor outside the washroom.Finally after a while,Onita came back out with her make up re applied and she was now halfway sober.But she still did not wish to leave.Alicia made Onita promise to not leave her side for the rest of the night.Before they could enter the dance area again,Alicia and Onita recieved a note from the waiter.The note was simply written,"Your drinks are spiked."

Onita,who had just vomited,felt her stomach upheave at the thought of spiked drinks while Alicia felt her anger rise.And just then the roles were reversed.Onita now wanted to leave and Alicia wanted to stay.Alicia was never one to shy away from problems.If she escaped now then the next attack would be even more vicious.She made Onita calm down and repeated her orders to not leave herside.Onita wanted to run but she couldn't..no,wouldn't leave behind her bff.

Alicia was now fuming mad and her only motive was to go back to the party and differentiate between friends and foes.When they reached the table,a lot of people had gathered around the table and were now playing a game of truth and dare.She noticed their seats had been left empty and even their drinks had been left *untouched*.Raising her brows,Alicia sat on the seat and picked up her drink.Bringing it to her lips,she pretended to take a sip before joining in on the game.

The silent observing man raised his brows at that.He had fully expected these girls to scurry back when they learned that their drinks were spiked.But the girls had just returned and took a sip of the drink as if nothing happened.The man leaned back and thought to himself,"Not his problem.He had done his moral duty.Now that the girls had chosen to drink those,he needed to only make sure that his prey landed with him.He narrowed his eyes at the girl who had spiked the drinks and gestured to a waiter.The waiter had been following the man from the VVIP room so he immediately came forward to recieve his orders.

The man in the suit was then joined by his earlier companions but this time the couple only sat to observe what was promising to turn out into a good show.

Alicia had dropped the drink into the ice bucket earlier and was now sipping simple apple juice which she had ordered discreetly.But to make the other party believe that they had succeeded,she pretended to be tipsy and a little bit horny.Alicia had soon pulled her off shoulder dress even more down to expose the top part of her brėȧsts.Onita who was not good at acting simply pretended to slump onto the table.Only when he looked at Onita's head on the table,did Qi Cheng realize that he had miscalculated for the first time in his life.His cousin had planned not some type of humiliation but something worse.She haddrugged the women he had come to consider his friends.Qi Cheng understood that he had to control the situation or this mistake could cause these girls to lose their dignity as well.Looking at the two,he judged that Onita's situation was much more urgent.He dared not trust any of his lackeys and so immediately he picked up Onita and checked her into a private suite in the club.He called the doctors urgently and after finding a young woman from the staff went to find Alicia.

Onita breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Qi Cheng call for a doctor.She had been attracted to him from the very beginning but when he had suddenly picked her up and brought her to this room she had been afraid that he was the one behind the drugged drinks.She had almost given herself away by wanting to slap him but her body had frozen in shock.When she heard him arrange for a doctor and a female waitress and leave,she realized that he was a good guy and concluded that just like she considered Alicia her bff,this man would also hold that title.

It took Qi Cheng a total of fifteen minutes before he could make it back to the lounge.His heart was pounding in his ċhėst as he prayed that no harm had befallen Alicia.He reached the entrance to see Alicia sitting in the same place where she was at when he left and breathed a sigh of relief.But before he could calm down and reach the table,he saw her getting up and moving towards a different table..
