She stared at her reflection in the mirror: fiery red lips, carefully glossed to give them an even fuller, more tempting shine. She looked every siren. Once satisfied with her appearance, she slipped on a pair of high heels and headed out.

She leaned in. trying to strike a more personal tone. Margot knew full well that she needed something from Jamar today, so playing the friendly cand was part of the plan.

Margot forced a polite smile but kept her distance. “Let’s not rush things, Jamar. Let’s take it slow.”

With a thought in mind, she slowly began to unbutton her coat, revealing her stunning figure beneath. Jamar’s eyes nearly bulged out of his head.
That damn alluring body, she knew it would have him drooling.
Jamar couldn’t hold back any longer.
He was almost ready to pull her into his arms.
Hur Margot, with practiced grace, deliberately chose a seat further away from him. She pouted and teased, “Jamar, you haven’t even heard what I luve to say yet?”
Jamars fare flushed with hunger, but he quickly nodded. Tell me, Margot. I’m listening”

Every time she considered barking man, the thought of Joanna would surge through her, and Margot would feel a rush of adrenaline. Her veins would pulse with heat, her every cell practically screaming with energy.
So, with no hesitation, she went ahead. After all, Howell would never know,

Hours later. Margot slowly woke, her head heavy and her body sore as though she’d been run over by a truck. She opened her eyes, squinting at the white ceiling above her. The events of the night before flashed through her mind—unpleasant and degrading–bur she didn’t regret it.
She had one goal: Joanna needed to disappear. For that, she would pay any price.
Margot sat up, steeling herself. She didn’t have time for weakness. She dressed quickly and left the room, knowing her next steps were crucial. Now, she would wait for Jamar’s message. She was certain of one thing–no matter who Jamar was, his word meant something. Joanna was as good as dead
Meanwhile, Joanna was at home when a sudden sneeze caught her off guard. She had just finished chatting with Isabella, who seemed troubled and had invited her to a barbecue lunch the next day. Joanna agreed, since she had an appointment at the hospital in the morning and would be free by
