<b>Chapter </b><b>534</b>


    Paul sighed in relief when he heard <b>that </b>Skr would <b>arrive </b>in a few minutes. He closed the door and Stood outside.


    Paul called Joe’s doctor and described his condition. After listening to Paul’s description, he smiled and said, “He’ll be fine. Isn’t Skr arriving soon? She’ll be more effective than medicine. You should n the demise of those perpetrators rather than worry about Joe.”


    Paul was well–versed in handling such matters.


    In the past, Joe’s doctor woulde over to help him in such situations. However, Joe had to go through immense suffering in the process. Thankfully, he had Skr now.


    Not before long, Skr arrived.


    Skr asked, “What’s going on?”


    Paul had no time to exin. Joe was probably in a cold shower as they spoke. He opened the door and pushed Skr in. As he did so, he said simply, “Mr. Martin has been drugged with an aphrodisiac.”


    “What?” Skr was pushed into the room by Paul amidst her confused exmation.


    The door mmed shut behind her. Skr walked in slowly. She could hear the water running in the washroom. Her heart was pounding.


    Joe had ingested an aphrodisiac. She knew the role she’d been called to y.


    The bathroom door was half open. It was evident how much of a hurry Joe had been in.


    Skr gently pushed the door open. There was no hint of steam in the bathroom. She felt a little chilly as she stepped into the shower area.


    Was Joe taking a cold shower?


    Indeed, she could see Joe’s muscled figure under the shower.


    Skr was given an even better view of Joe when he looked over.


    Joe stood tall, with broad shoulders. He had a sharp jawline and an aloof expression. Every feature about him was perfect. His attractive muscles were the objects of every woman’s desire.


    However, his eyes gleamed coldly. It was as if he were a noble king looking down at his people from a mountain.


    Joe’s voice was hoarse but sexy as he asked, “Annie?”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    However, Skr’s face fell upon hearing that.


    “Annie?”


    She suddenly recalled seeing Annie while she was parking. She had been with a middle–aged couple. They must be her parents.


    However, they seemed to be rushing somewhere. Skr was in a hurry to see Joe. Thus, she did not think much of it.


    However… Was Joe calling Annie’s name in this condition because he liked her?


    If he liked her, why had he treated Annie so coldly in the past? He’d even taken action against the Silvers. Was there some backstory to this she didn’t understand?


    Since Annie was the person Joe wanted to see the most, there was no need for her to remain in his room.


    The name he uttered at this point would definitely be the one of whom he cared the most.


    “I’ll call Annie now<i>. </i>Give me a few minutes.*


    Annie had just left the hotel. If she called now, she could be back in no time.


    Skr began rummaging through her bag for her phone.
