Angela sat in a dimly lit corner of the local pub, her back pressed against the worn leather booth, as she awaited the arrival of Gina, the middle–aged chef employed at Kayden and Marlene’s mansion. The air hummed with the low murmur of conversation and the clink of glasses, which made this place the perfect meeting spot for her.

As Gina approached, Angela’s eyes met hers with a silent urgency, a small vial clutched tightly in her hand. With a subtle nod, Angela quickly passed the vial to Gina, not bothering to exchange pleasantries.

“Are you sure you can do this without getting caught?” Angela’s voice held a note of caution as she broached the question.

Gina’s response was swift, a scoff escaping her lips as she dismissed Angela’s concerns with a wave of her hand. “Don’t worry about me. I know exactly what needs to be done,” she replied, a hint of steely resolve underlying her words as she reassured Angela of her capabilities.

In a calculated reminder of their agreement, Angela reiterated the specifics of their plan. “All you need to do is slip in two drops of the content in this vial into Marlene’s food or drink, and once it’s done, don’t forget to dispose of the rest far away from the mansion,” she instructed.

Gina nodded, the expression on her face confident. “As long as you keep your end of the bargain and

me on time, consider it done,” she affirmed, a note of finality in her tone.

All she cared about was getting paid, and if it was at the expense of that overbearing brat who was her boss, then she didn’t mind at all.

Curiosity piqued, and Gina sought clarification on how quickly the dosage she was tasked with administering would work once she did what she had to do. “Will the effects show immediately?” she inquired.

Angela’s response was med as she responded. “It will take a few hours before she starts to feel

the effects. Also, keep in mind that it is not easily detectable, especially when consumed with food or a drink that isn’t water, so you have nothing to worry about because there’ll be no evidence at all she reassured Gina..
