Bab 66: Explain Everything

Alexander couldn't help but think, 'She should be an actress!' as he watched Rain's expertly feigned tears. It was impressive how easily she could make herself cry.

"Your boss passed out after drinking the wine. I'm supposed to drink!" he grumbled.

Rain, eyes still welling with fake tears, glanced at Madame Beck. "Madame Beck, how are you feeling? I didn't drug the wine. Please, tell him why you passed out," she said, her voice trembling.

If Alexander didn't know better, he might have been convinced by her act.

"Oh, right. How long was I out?" Madame Beck asked, her forehead creased in confusion.

"Just a minute or two," Alexander replied firmly.

"Oh, look at you, Mr. Alexander. What kind of drug would make me pass out so quickly? I'm probably just exhausted," Madame Beck said, waving off the concern.
