Hayden stilled and turned to look at Shelly. "Is there any ice water?"


    He felt as though his entire body was on fire and desperately wanted a ss of ice water.


    "O- of course!" Shelly immediately went to bring him a ss of ice water, and on her way, she spotted a slim womaning her way.


    rmed, she instantly realized that this was the woman who plotted to sleep with Hayden.


    Shelly added a few pieces of ice into a ss of water and immediately hurried back to Hayden.


    "L, why are you here?" When Hayden spotted L, he realized what had happened.


    He started feeling hot after drinking the juice, which was given to him by Eric''s aunt.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    He had managed to keep a leveled head despite all the alcoholic drinks he had consumed, so it became clear that something was wrong with the juice. "Hayden, you seem ill. I was worried, so I came over to see if I can take care of you," L said gently as she approached Hayden.


    Shelly stood behind L with the ss of water, not daring to expose L''s lie in front of her.


    Hayden seemed polite when he was talking to L, so she did not want to overstep any boundaries in case Hayden wanted to take L to his bed.


    "I can get off work as soon as I hand this ss of water to Hayden Tate," Shelly thought to herself.


    "I''m fine," Hayden said coldly. "You should head back to the hall! I''m going to sleep."


    "Are you really okay?" L was on the brink of breaking down in tears.


    Hayden did not seem fine at all, but she could not stay if he insisted that she leave.


    "I''m fine." Hayden swallowed hard and his tone hardened.


    L took a deep breath and said, "Maybe I''ll walk you to your room, then!"


    "There''s no need for that," Hayden refused. "My bodyguard will take care of me. Leave!"


    His bodyguard immediately said to L, "Do you need me to escort you back to the hall?"


    L shook her head and spotted Shelly on her way back to the hall.


    Her heart sank when she saw the ice water in Shelly''s hand.


    After L left, Hayden immediately strode toward his room as he desperately needed a cold shower.


    The bodyguard noticed that something was wrong and caught up with him. Both of them seemed to havepletely forgotten about Shelly.


    Shelly froze in ce with a ss of


    ice water in hand. However, since Hayden had asked for a ss of ice water, she decided to deliver it to


    him.


    QUMS


    She took a deep breath and pressed on the doorbell to Hayden''s room.


    The bodyguard opened the door shortly after.


    "This is the ice water Mr. Tate asked for." Shelly handed the ss to the bodyguard.


    The bodyguard epted it and


    paused just as he was about to close the door. "You asked my boss if he wanted a doctor just now. Is there a doctor here in this hotel?"


    The bodyguard could sense that Hayden was in a strange state and might require a doctor''s attention. However, Hayden had not asked for a doctor, so the bodyguard did not dare to do so on his own ord.


    However, if there was a clinic in the hotel, they could get a doctor toe over.


    Shelly shook her head. "Your boss... he isn''t exactly sick..."
