The person behind this better hope that I don't find out who he or she is," he thought.
Frank narrowed his eyes dangerously, walked to the living room, picked up his phone, and dialed at number. "Paulina, when did you become so slow?"
The person on the other end of the line was a girl. "Frank, I'm just about to get in the elevator. I'm on my way."
A minute later, the front door was pushed open from the outside. Paulina, wearing a red dress and high heels, entered. She looked momentarily stunned to see Frank standing in the living room. Why did she need to bring medicine if there were no other traditional medicine?
Frank, who was still focused on the person in the bathroom, extended his hand. "Where's the medicine?"
Paulina quickly came to her senses and handed him a small packet. "Just one pill is enough."
As she spoke, her gaze swept around the living room
In an inconspicuous corner of the sofa, there was a pair of women's high heels.
Frank usually paid attention to details, but the blanket on the sofa was wrinkled, as if someone had. recently been lying on it....
"Alright." Frank took the medicine and then looked at her lazily. "Finally decided to change your style and stop wearing those black, white, and grey clothes?"
"Yeah... right!" As his capable assistant, Paulina knew he had a keen mind, so she smiled and explained, My mom insisted that I go on a blind date, and this red dress was bought by her."
"Your mom has good taste." Frank smiled faintly, feeling a bit apologetic. "Did it ruin your date? The situation came up suddenly..."
"No!" Paulina showed a professional smile and shrugged. "Work should always come first. Besides, the guy and I weren't really suited for each other anyway. Your message came just in time to rescue me "Alright." Paulina, hearing the faint sound of water from the bathroom through the slightly open door and said, "I'll leave now!"
Once outside the apartment building, Paulina took off her high heels and slammed them onto the ground.
After all these years...
She thought that even if it wasn't her, Frank wouldn't have anyone else by his side.
But unexpectedly, someone seductive had shown up at his place.
However, upon reflection, Paulina smiled.
It was just a failed seduction.
Even though Frank ha

received the medicine, he didn't sleep with that seductive woman!

After taking a cold shower, the heat within me finally subsided, and my rationality more or less returned.
Thinking about my previous actions made me feel a mix of embarrassment and anger.
Knock, knock-
Someone knocked on the bathroom door, and Frank's voice came from outside. "Are you done?"
"I'm done!" I put on a grey bathrobe and opened the door, avoiding eye contact with him as I passed by. Jane and Danny should be home now, I should head back."
"Wait."
Frank grabbed my arm and shoved a small bottle of medicine into my hand. "The effects of the medicine might not have completely worn off. Take one of these!" "Okay!"
I took the medicine from him, and he chuckled lightly. "Planning to go back in my bathrobe?"
I was so flustered that I hadn't realized I was still wearing the bathrobe. "What should I do?"
"Your clothes." Frank pointed to a green slip dress hanging on the bathroom door handle.
I looked at him in surprise. "How do you have..."
'My dress..."
Before I could finish, I remembered. It was the dress that had gotten wet in the rain when I visited him at Jelaston Summit and was left at his place. He had actually brought it to Jeswood. I met his smiling gaze and quickly grabbed the dress, returning to the bathroom,
After changing clothes swiftly, I fled the apartment, feeling a mix of guilt and awkwardness after a one- night affair.
I ran back home in a rush, not even waiting for the elevator, and took the stairs instead.
Hearing the door open, Danny looked up from his puzzle. "Aunt! You're back!"
As he spoke, he scrambled to his feet and ran over to hug me.
I picked him up and pinched his little face. "Yes, I'm back."
"Didn't Frank pick you up already? Why are you back so late?"
Jane, noticing something amiss, quickly saw that I had changed clothes. "Wait, why are you wearing different clothes?"
I didn't answer. I went to the dining table, poured a glass of water, and took the medicine first.
Then I looked at Jane. "Something happened at the party."
Jane frowned. "What happened?"
Since it wasn't suitable for children, I turned to Danny. "Danny, would you go take a bath now? I'll tell you a bedtime story later."

"Okay!" Excited by the promise of a bedtime story, Danny dashed into the bathroom.
After adjusting the shower height for him, I came back out and threw the bottle of medicine to Jane." Someone drugged me." "Drugged? What kind of drug?"
"What kind of drug could it be that children shouldn't hear about?" I asked.
Jane shook the bottle in her hand and quickly asked, "So this is to counteract that drug?"
"It should be."
"Then..." Jane gestured downwards, her curiosity piqued. "Frank didn't do anything to you? Even though you were drugged, he's still holding onto things from two years ago?" "Not exactly." Thinking about what had just happened, my ears burned with embarrassment, though! remained calm on the surface. "He didn't want to take advantage of me." Jane did a thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect him to be such a man.
The next noon, Frank received a call from Alana.
"I heard the doctor came early this morning to check on your leg. How is it? Isn't it better now?"
It was a shame that this doctor wasn't working in broadcasting.
Frank, with little appetite, fiddled with his takeaway and replied lazily, "Couldn't resist, did a bit of exercise! "Exercise?" asked Alana, astonished.
It was indeed surprising. Her brother had always been the type who would avoid standing if he could lie down.
Even if he did stand, he would find something to lean against.
The fact that he was exercising was unheard of.
Suddenly, Alana realized something. "Wait, what kind of exercise are you talking about?"
Frank choked slightly. Seeing the housekeeper enter the bathroom, he quickly said, "Don't worry about that grey bathrobe."
