Reflecting on his monotonous and uninspiring life, he realized he had never indulged in an affair, let alone enjoyed the company of someone as stunning as Claire. Half of his existence had been spent with a woman he loathed, a relationship that left him feeling trapped.

But today was different; today was the day he would shatter the chains of his dreary fate!

Yes!

He craved a taste of Claire!

He longed to be with the breathtaking beauty that captivated the hearts of all the men in the city!

As his thoughts spiraled, he donned a smile and said, “Miss Wilson, since you’ve made the effort to come here with a request, let’s discuss it. I’m not as difficult as you might think.”

Claire quickly settled back into her seat, sensing an opportunity to turn the situation around. With enthusiasm, she asked, “Mr. Koch, would you consider selling us your materials on credit?”

He responded vaguely, “If it were anyone else, I would certainly refuse, but for you, Miss Wilson, it’s a different matter…”

Claire eagerly interjected, “Our collaboration with Emgrand Group is very close to finalization. If you agree to a credit purchase, we’ll pay you immediately once we receive the first batch of settlement from them.”

He nodded and replied, “Give me a moment; I’ll prepare some tea for us.”

Rising to his feet, he retrieved a teapot from the cupboard.

With his back to Claire, he added tea leaves to the pot while discreetly pulling out a box of sleeping pills from his pocket.

These pills were prescribed by his doctor to combat his recent insomnia; just one could keep him asleep for an entire day.

In a calculated move, he dropped six sleeping pills into the pot, mixing them with hot water. This way, each cup of tea would contain the equivalent of one pill, ensuring he could have his way with Claire!

He envisioned starting with intimacy, then taking provocative photos and videos as leverage for blackmail in the future!

If she ever contemplated contacting the authorities or revealing what happened, he could easily threaten her with those images, ruining her reputation permanently!

He was confident that Claire would think twice before going to the police or telling anyone about the incident.

At that point, he would be the puppet master in this twisted game! He could engage with her whenever he desired, and if she resisted his demands, he’d simply remind her of the evidence he held!

This way, he would have the most exquisite partner at his disposal! It was going to be utterly thrilling!

A wicked grin spread across his face as his imagination ran wild. After preparing the tea, he returned to the sofa.

Pouring Claire a cup, he said, “Miss Wilson, please relax. Let’s enjoy some tea and discuss this further.”

Claire, feeling parched from their conversation, grabbed the teacup without hesitation and drank it down eagerly.

Daniel watched in exhilaration as Claire emptied the cup!

His gaze was intense as he admired her—taking in her slender legs, her hourglass figure, her stunning looks…

She radiated an irresistible allure that made his heart race uncontrollably.

Today felt like a stroke of luck!

He could hardly contain himself at the thought of his hands caressing her beautiful form later on!
