Chapter 445

The person who spiked the drink, never let him find out!

Gregory’s eyes narrowed dangerously as he walked over to the living room and picked up his phone, dialing quickly, “Ophelia, when did you start getting so slow at this?”

On the other line, a girl’s voice responded, “Mr. Ford, I was just heading to the elevator, I’ll be there in a minute.”

A minute later, the front door was pushed open from the outside.

Ophelia, clad in a striking red dress and heels, stepped in, freezing for a second when she saw Gregory standing in the living room perfectly fine..

No herbal concoctions, why did he need her to deliver medication?

Gregory, worried about the person in the bathroom, immediately reached out, “The pill?” Snapping back to reality, Ophelia quickly rummaged through her purse and handed him something, “One should do the trick.”

“Your mom’s got good taste.”

Gregory smiled lightly, a hint of apology in his voice, “Sorry for messing up your date. This all happened so suddenly…”

“No worries!”

Ophelia flashed a professional smile, shrugging, “Work comes first, and besides, that guy and I weren’t a good match anyway. Your call came at the right time to save me.”

“Alright then.”

Ophelia glanced through the slightly ajar bedroom door, hearing the faint sound of water
