Why are you leaving so early ? He stopped just in front of Evie .

The cool autumn breeze brushed past , adding a faint chill to the air .

Her delicate face turned pale in the wind , but she kept up her signature smile .

Oh , its you .

What a coincidence , she said lightly .

Ive got something urgent to take care of .

Was there something you needed ? Her heart pounded in her chest , her grip on the fabric of her dress tightening until her knuckles turned white .

She thought , Why has he noticed me ? Id done everything to stay under the radar .

The man pulled out a box and opened it , revealing the jade ring from earlier .

Under the light , the gemstone gleamed with a soft , luminous glow , its diamond accents sparkling like tiny stars .

You seemed to like this , he said , his tone casual but firm .

Take it .

Its yours .

Evie glanced at the ring but quickly shook her head .

Thats far too generous .

Im sorry , but I cant accept it .

I really have to go .

If youre planning to stay in Lanceser for a while , feel free to drop by the Night Club anytime .

Goodbye .

Without waiting for a response , she turned and walked away briskly .

The mans eyes followed her retreating figure , narrowing slightly .

When they had stood close , the breeze had carried her scent to him familiar and intoxicating , something that lingered in his mind .

He thought , She refused me .

But that doesnt matter .

I have time .

Plenty of time to make her change her mind .

XXXXX Charlotte was still distracted , worrying about Evie , and didnt notice anything unusual about Arthur until she felt a hand on her thigh .

Her body stiffened .

She turned her head sharply , her voice low and sharp .

What are you doing? Arthur didnt pull his hand away .

His palm lingered on her smooth skin , lightly brushing as if he couldnt resist the sensation .

I think someone spiked my drink , he said , his voice hoarse and strained .

Charlotte frowned .

Dont look at me .

I didnt drug you , so dont even think about blaming me .

Arthur let out a quiet sigh , as though resigning himself .

I didnt say it was you .

I just … Im not feeling right .

Can you help me to the lounge ? Chapter 388 You Need a Woman 3/4 His voice sounded so off , so unsteady , that Charlotte hesitated .

After a moment , she sighed and nodded , Fine .

She slipped an arm around him , helping him up , and they made their way to the lounge .

Inside , she helped Arthur onto the couch before quickly stepping back , putting distance between them .

Ill go find Dr.

Holland , she said briskly , already heading toward the door .

Charlotte … Arthurs voice was thick with desperation , his body burning up , every nerve screaming for relief .

He reached for her , but she was already walking out .

He thought , Charlotte , you are my cure but now youre going to find me a doctor .

Ill get someone to help you , she called back , shutting the door behind her without looking back .

Arthur groaned , leaning back on the couch as he yanked at his tie .

His body felt like it was on fire , and his throat was parched .

Grabbing a water bottle from the table , he drained it in seconds , but it didnt help .

His usually sharp eyes were clouded now , a flush of red creeping across his face .

He was struggling to keep control when the door creaked open again .

A figure stepped inside , moving with grace .

As she got closer , her subtle perfume reached him , sweet and alluring .

Arthurs brows furrowed , his voice low and raspy .

Who are Chapter 388 You Need a Woman you ? 4/4 Sarah came closer , her eyes brimming with admiration .

Arthur , Charlotte sent me .

She said youve been drugged … and that you need a woman .
