Chapter 100: Poisoned Wine

As expected, there weren't too many people inside. It was a high-class bar, and the membership fees were exorbitant. But the allure wasn't the expensive wines or the ambiance-it was the tight security.

Even Kesha struggled to hack into the security cameras, though I knew she was giving it her all. Tonight, we had to rely on our instincts and skills.

Because of the strict security, we couldn't bring weapons inside. That's where Luna came in, posing as a waitress. She needed to slip me at least one gun-just in case. It wasn't critical to the operation, but emergencies could happen. Meanwhile, Finnick was stationed outside as our lookout, ready to alert us if anything unusual occurred.

I had to complete this mission quickly and cleanly.

But... should I grant Evangeline's request?

Doubts began to creep into my mind again, but Rain's voice snapped me back to reality.

"You look stunning tonight, S," he whispered as he adjusted a strand of my hair.

All eyes were on us, just as we'd planned. We needed to stand out to catch Senator Windwood's attention. I was wearing a white dress with a slit up the side. It wasn't comfortable, but for the sake of the mission, I was prepared to do whatever it took-even if it meant stripping.

This mission had to succeed, no matter what.

"Just tonight?" I smirked. "Stop flirting. Focus."

I gently removed his hand and took two glasses of red wine from Luna, who passed by.

"Drink this, baby," I said, spotting some people glancing our way. I had to up my acting game.

"Serves you right," I heard Luna mutter through the comms. I couldn't help but grin as Rain scowled before reluctantly drinking the wine.
