Chapter 369
Allison held a tray with a bottle of wine, giving Linda a cold nod
Linda squirmed a bit. “Allison, did you see the text I sent you?”
“Which one? I don’t check my phone while working.”
“Oh, the one about Mrs. Flanagan arriving. She’s in Serena’s office now”
As Linda prepared to leave, the elevator slowly ascended. Allison remained silent for a few seconds
before saying, “Thanks.”
“You don’t need to thank me, Allison. I’m sorry about last time, I… I didn’t mean to. But when Penelope
asked, I… I blurted it out. They all know we’re close, and think I knew your whereabouts. I couldn’t hide
it, I.
“Linda, I don’t blame you.” She understood Linda’s predicament. But she didn’t need a friend who
betrayed her.
The Flanagans paid well, and there was no need for Linda to risk losing her job to cover for her. But
Allison wasn’t a saint, she didn’t plan on having any contact with Linda in the future.
The elevator doors opened, and Allison walked out. Linda watched her leave, sometimes she envied
Allison’s freedom.
At midnight, Allison rubbed her shoulders, tallied up the day’s bar tab, got approval from the manager,
and headed to the changing
room.
“Allison… someone called her name.
Allison was changing, the changing room was all women, and her colleagues were coming and going
after work. She responded but didn’t look back.
Again, “Allison, I need to talk to you.”
Allison was buttoning her blouse, finally recognizing the voice as Tina’s. She turned to see Tina
standing there. “What do you want?”
Tina worked under Serena, so Allison didn’t interact with her much.
Tina gritted her teeth. ‘Remember a few days ago, you were on the second floor, and Carol came to
replace you to go to the sixth floor?” “I remember, what’s up? You can just say it.”
-Tina started, “That night, did you feel unwell, like…”
Allison’s gaze sharpened, she fastened her blouse and approached Tina. “What do you know?”
Tina said, “Change first, then come with me afterward. I need to talk to you about that night.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
In the break room, it was just Allison and Tina.
Tina decided to spill the beans. She had done a lot for Serena, but for a small matter, Serena wanted to
fire her. She decided not to cover for Serena anymore! Serena never treated her like one of her own,
and she’d be the first to take the fall.
“You were supposed to work on the second floor, but Serena called me out of the blue, and asked me
to move you here. So I had Carol switch your post. Then when you showed up, I handed you a tray
with drinks. There were drugs in the drinks. I don’t know what kind. Serena instructed me to do this. I
was only responsible for handing it to you! Then I was supposed to watch you closely and report to her
If anything happened.”
Allison had suspected Serena all along, and sure enough, it was her. Through recent events, she had
figured out the truth. Leah must’ve wanted to fire her, to drive her away from Northfield. So she first
approached Sarah to fire her, but Sarah refused, so Leah turned to Serena.
“The drink you gave me had drugs in it? How did you know Lucian would drink it?”
“Mr. Lindberg? I thought it was Mr. Burke?”
