Chapter 170: Mirrors

Jessica eyed her reflection as she smiled. Seeing that the smile looked a bit crooked, Jessica frowned before trying again.

This time, she lifted the edge of her lips and brought the smile to her eyes. "Wonderful." She said. Then she cleared her throat and lowered her voice. "You are so beautiful." A shy expression flashed in her eyes before she slowly smiled, her cheeks turned red as she answered her own statement. "Thank you, Young Master Q." 

Seeing the perfect smile plastered on her face, Jessica giggled and finally walked away from her walk-in closet that was surrounded by mirrors. Of course, she made sure that even her exit would look elegant, perfect. 

Then she lay on her bed and started thinking about the date that would happen tomorrow. Her father already assured her that Boss Q would be there. She eyed the time from her phone and immediately sighed when she realized that it was already eleven in the evening. She was supposed to sleep early because she needed at least five hours to prepare for her date tomorrow, however, she was really nervous. 

She felt that Boss Q needed to see the perfect side of her for him to like her. She had practiced the perfect smile, the perfect walk, even the perfect voice that she could use tomorrow, and she still felt that this was not enough. She frowned. 

She already hired some professionals to make her look beautiful tomorrow. Why was she so nervous? Biting her lower lip Jessica closed her eyes, but she could only see Shen Qui's face.

"Useless!" she hissed, her expression turning ugly as she opened the drawer from her side table and grabbed a couple of her antidepressant medication and sleeping pills. She had stopped drinking these things as she felt that it was ruining her body. However, this current situation is calling for it.

Tomorrow, she needed to bring her most beautiful self to see him. With these in mind, Jessica swallowed all the pills with the held of the bottle of water on her bedside table. Then once again, she closed her eyes and put on her sleep masked before she smiled. She was already thinking about seeing Shen Qui tomorrow. 

Would he smile at her? Would his eyes sparkle once she walked inside the private restaurant that her father booked just for the two of them? This— She was really excited! She could feel her heart raced just as she thought about the things that Shen Qui would do to her once he got drunk. Of course, Jessica already practiced every reaction that she would do once Shen Qui would kiss her, touch her hand, and caressed her skin. 

Slowly, Jessica drifted to sleep, unaware that someone was already sitting in the darkest part of her room, staring at her with disgust in her eyes. Of course, this person was none other than Lyca. She squinted her eyes at the woman lying on her king size pink bed with pink sheets and pillow. Jessica was wearing pink pajamas and even a pink sleep mask. 

She made sure to turned off all the lights in Jessica's room, only leaving a lamp located next to her telephone that was next to her bathroom. Then Lyca walked towards the sleeping Jessica. She stared at the woman before she opened her drawer. Of course, she was using some gloves to avoid any fingerprint marks. 

Lyca then opened the antidepressants and sleeping pills and made sure to put it on top of the bedside table, making it look like Jessica drank a lot of it before she slept that she had forgotten to even close it. Then Lyca took a picture of the pills with Jessica's name on it. 

She smiled at the evil thoughts running in her mind. Funny how her nature would always come out every time, someone would threaten her peace. Speaking of peace, Lyca thought about Long Yi and the Long Family. Right now, Shen Qui is already considered a scary entity in Kong City. Soon, they will establish a name in Long City and the neighboring city. Then… she would finally have her revenge against those people.

For now, Lyca was taking it slowly, not because she couldn't do it. But it was because Shen Qui was sure that someone was supporting the Long Family, and there was a possibility that it was from the Capital. First, they needed to find out and assess the threat before acting. Or at least that's what Shen Qui said.

After all, the man was about planning while she was the exact opposite. 

Her thoughts were interrupted when Jessica muttered Shen Qui's name as if she was dreaming about him. For some reason, just the thought that another woman was dreaming about Shen Qui was making her angry.

Should she just kill this woman?

She squinted and removed a needle from her wrist. Then she stopped moving. It was as if she heard Shen Qui's words, telling her about the plan. She pouted and muttered a curse. As much as she wanted to just do whatever she wanted, this world actually has laws and rules that would put them in danger if she became too careless. 

And she wouldn't want to put him in danger. 

A sadistic smile flashed on her face as she removed another needle and slowly injected it into the woman's veins on her arm. Of course, this was not some drug that would make the woman high. She started beaming as she thought of the effects of the poison. 

Judging the narcissism that this woman had in her bones, Lyca was sure that she wouldn't dare step out of her room tomorrow. After making sure that the woman was still asleep, Lyca immediately put some hidden camera in the woman's room.

Of course, she would want to see her reaction while she eats some popcorn and fries and drinking Shen Qui's tea.

Or maybe eat Shen Qui as well.

She laughed at the thought before she finally left the room.
