"Well, I'm speaking the truth, or do you not remember? Even though you were drugged, I'm sure you didn't forget everything," Ares said, causing Tharn to pause for a moment. He remembered everything, even if there were parts he was out of it due to the arousal.
"So, I was drugged, huh?" Tharn asked about this instead. From what Ares mentioned, Tharn guessed it must have been a sex-enhancing drug for sure; otherwise, he wouldn't have had those kinds of reactions.
"Yes, my people have investigated and also found out who drugged you," Ares said again, causing Tharn to furrow his brows immediately.
"Who was it that drugged me?" Tharn asked back, his curiosity piqued. The tension he initially felt from sitting on Ares's lap dissipated without him realizing it.
"Actually, the target of the drugging was me, but you ended up getting affected instead," Ares explained, leaving Tharn momentarily stunned.
"Who dares to drug you?" Tharn asked out of curiosity.
"It was someone from your group named Jane. She put the drug in a glass of wine and hired a waiter to serve it to me. She probably thought that if I was in the mood, I would offer myself to her. I guess I was let loose," Ares said nonchalantly. Tharn's expression immediately turned serious upon hearing this.
"Jane would dare to go that far? Does she think that someone like you could be easily drugged? I've seen how careful you are with your drinks," Tharn replied. When he was sitting at the same table as Ares, he noticed that Ares's drinks were prepared step-by-step by his subordinates. Especially with wine, Ares wouldn't just accept wine from any waiter. Ares smiled, pleased that Tharn recognized that someone like him wouldn't be easily drugged.
"What do you think I should do about that person?" Ares asked for Tharn's opinion. Tharn looked a bit tense. The truth is, he was the victim in this situation, even though it was a mistake on his part for drinking the wine. However, the concern remained. Some performances still required Jane's involvement. If she was suddenly fired, it would create quite a mess.
"Why are you asking me? You're the owner of the cabaret," Tharn replied.
"You can fire someone without going through me," Ares said, handing over the decision-making power within the cabaret group to Tharn. Tharn looked at Ares with confusion.
"Have you asked your mother yet?" Tharn asked back, not wanting to bypass Madame Linsey.
"My mother entrusted me to manage this primarily, so you don't need to worry. Besides, I'm confident that my mother would allow you to make decisions regarding the cabaret as well," Ares replied, as he saw that Tharn had always taken care of the troupe and wouldn't do anything to harm it. Tharn pressed his lips together, thinking slightly, forgetting that he was sitting on Ares's strong lap.
"To be honest, I also want to fire Jane. I'm tired of having to reprimand her every time she makes a mistake. But I want to give her one more chance because we still need her for several performances. However, after this, I will also train other backup performers," Tharn said seriously.
"You're being too kind to her," Ares said sternly.
"Don't you think that if you were drugged and ended up with the wrong person, they might take you somewhere worse?" Ares warned. Tharn looked at Ares before letting out a sound of disagreement.
"I'm already dealing with bad people here, aren't I? Or are you going to say that you're a good person? If you were really good, you should have found another way to help me," Tharn couldn't help but throw a jab at Ares.
"I never said I was a good person. I just don't want to be too harsh on you," Ares replied casually. Tharn pouted slightly in annoyance.
"So how do you want me to punish Jane?" Tharn asked back.
