章 34: Drugged

With nothing seemingly happening after the toast, Rain let things play out for now. The program began with the introduction and welcoming of the board of directors, followed by the presentation of special awards. Throughout, she could feel someone's eyes boring into her. Having had enough, she turned only to see Paul sitting not far from her sneaking glances at her while checking on his watch repeatedly.

"What's his problem?" she thought, finding Paul's actions unsettling. 

Fifteen minutes into the program, a sudden wave of dizziness hit her. She cursed under her breath, realizing that something was very wrong. 

"What is wrong with me?" she muttered to herself while shifting uncomfortably in her seat. 

The program continued with the chairman giving out a speech on stage, but Rain's focus wavered. She blinked, trying to steady her vision, but beads of sweat began forming on her forehead.
