Being seduced by Sara earlier had made Matthew restless. His lust was just getting stronger. After tracking down Rachel, he wasn't going to let her go so easily. Rachel's cheeks turned rosy, and she said in a sweet voice. "I wasn't in control because of the drug."

Matthew's eyes grew bloodshot, and he grinned mischievously. "Your body needs treatment. I'm going to fix you up no matter what, even if it means risking my life." Seeing how far Matthew was willing to go so far, Rachel pouted and said, "Alright, fine. Since I owe you, I'll make it up for you today. Please be gentle."

With his heart racing, Matthew immediately threw himself at Rachel.

The evening fell, and the sky got darker. A gentle breeze made the car sway. In the nearby river, frogs croaked one after another.

At first, the croaking was fairly soft, but it got louder and louder. After some time, everything stopped. The river, once bustling with the sounds of frogs and cicadas, had gone completely silent. After what seemed like forever, Rachel opened her eyes and was surprised to see it was pitch black outside.

"Wait, it's already dark?" she exclaimed.

Matthew got up and said, "It's been a long time. Of course, it's dark outside. And it's all your fault for holding on to me like that."

Rachel's face was flushed red. She never imagined things would turn out this way. Sometimes she just couldn't help it. "Stop talking about it. You're making me so embarrassed." Matthew chuckled. "You weren't this shy just now."

She was dead set against it earlier. After they got into action, she was like a different person-completely insatiable.

Rachel covered her face with her hands. "Can you stop talking nonsense? Let's hurry up. I need to get back home."

Seeing Rachel all flustered, Matthew flashed her a smirk. "So, do you believe me now? A man is the secret to your treatment. Look at you now. You're feeling much better, aren't you?"

Rachel's face turned beet red, and

she couldn't bring herself to face Matthew. She even started to believe him. But this condition was so embarrassing. If others found

out, how could she ever her

face?

"Can I ask you for something?"

Matthew stopped buttoning his shirt. "Do you want more? Don't worry. I can make you satisfied."

Rachel snapped, "Are you saying that on purpose, Matthew? Just promise me you won't spread this around and mention my condition."

"Okay," Matthew exclaimed in realization. "I get it now. Relax. I won't tell anyone."

After Matthew finished speaking, he put on his clothes and drove Rachel home. He pulled up in front of the villa's entrance. Matthew turned to Rachel and said, "We're at your place now."

Rachel adjusted her clothes and got out of the car. She frowned as soon as her feet landed on the ground.

Seeing her strange posture, Matthew smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Rachel turned and glared at Matthew. With a grunt, she continued walking into the villa, but her movements seemed stiff.

Matthew beamed as he watched her. "If you're not feeling well, just take a day off tomorrow."

Rachel ignored Matthew's kind

words. After taking a few steps, she realized she needed a day off, so

she turned back and said, "I'll take a break tomorrow. Could you talk to

Tracy and ask her to take care of the company?"

...

The next day, Matthew entered Tracy's office. "Rachel's taking a sick day. She's not feeling well and won't make it today."

Did Rachel fall sick? Tracy was a little worried. "What's wrong with Rae? I'll go check in on her."noveldrama
