Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 154 - No more doubt

Andy stuffed the antidote in his jacket pocket. He stood outside the door before knocking. Eva quickly opened the door and hugged Andy.

"I'm sorry for before, babe." She hugged him tightly.

"It's fine." Andy gave Eva the flower.

She smiled and took the flower. They both entered the apartment. Eva placed the flower in a cup with water. "I know you already ate but I made some midnight snacks. Maybe we can watch another movie together?"

"Yeah. I will just go take a shower."

"Ok. The shower in your room is fixed already too."

Andy went to his room and locked the door. He put the antidote in a safe area and head to take a long cold shower. He needed to relax his frustrations. When he got out of the shower, he put on his pajamas. He dried his hair with a towel and went to look for Eva.

She was not in the living room so she might be in her room. He opened the door to her bedroom and she was not there. He noticed that the light in her bathroom was on. He was about to walk out when he heart several small groaning from inside the bathroom.

He walked closer to the bathroom. There is was again, the groan like someone was in pain. Andy knocked on the door.

"Eva? Are you okay?"

Eva was on the ground going through the side effects of taking the pills. Mike had warned her already but she did not know it was this painful. She tried to close her mouth and bit the towel so she would not make a loud sound.

"Eva... if you don't open the door I will knock it down." Andy shouted from the other side of the door.

Eva bit her teeth. "I am fine." She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Then open the door."

Andy put his ear on the door and could still hear small groans of pain. He stepped back a bit and stared at the door. He was deciding if he was really going to knock it down or not. As he was about to run to the door, Eva opened it.

She smiled at him. She had a towel wrapping her naked body. "I just slipped down. It's fine."

Andy stared at her, making sure she was indeed ok.

"I still have to shower. You go choose a movie first." She closed the door and then Andy could hear the shower running.

Andy walked out and stared at the bathroom door. In the report that Lena gave him, it says that the person who takes the pill will experience an initial shock to the body, causing intense pain to the body as the pill begins to work.

Andy took another deep breath and closed his eyes. 'Eva... prove me wrong that I am just overthinking this...'

He walked to the living room and picked out a random movie that they had not watched before. He sat on the sofa first and wrapped himself in a blanket.

The movie had started and Eva was not out yet. Just then, Eva walked out. Her face was slightly flushed and she was wearing a very think silky nightgown. Andy could see her body and skin perfectly. Although Eva did not have a big body like Lena, she was beautiful on his own. She was indeed very pretty.

Andy smiled but then he suddenly recalled the image of the pack of condoms and contraceptive pills. Andy stared at Eva not with the eyes of a man in love, but with eyes of doubt.

"Come sit down, the movie just started."

"Ok." Eva moved in the sofa and hopped in the blanket with Andy. She moved closer to him.

After a few minutes into the movie, Eva turned around and looked seductively into Andy's eyes. He was caught off guard for a moment and she kissed him. This was not the first time they had kissed but it was different. Eva hungrily dived her tongue into Andy's mouth and tasted him.

She needed to mix their salivae so he has the effects of the drug. Mike said it will be an immediate effect. They both kissed in the dark on the sofa and the only light was coming from the television. Andy's brain stopped for a while before he felt electrocution going through his body.

His temperature raised. He looked into the beautiful woman who was kissing him. He pushed her down and turned on top of her and he kissed her back hungrily. He lost himself in desire but then his phone rung from his bedroom.

The sound disrupted his mind and he blinked. What was he doing? He realized that the drug was affecting him. Of course, it can be passed through bodily liquid. He quickly stood up from Eva.

"One minute." Andy pulled off her before she could complain.

He quickly went to his room and picked up the call. "Hello?"

No one replied. He said hello again and then the call hung up on him. He looked at the caller ID and it was an unknown number. He suddenly felt his body heating up again and he recalled what was happening.

He went back to the area where he hid the antidote and quickly stabbed him in the leg. He took a deep breath. He went and washed his face before heading back out to Eva.

"Who was it?" Eva asked.

"Prank call."

Eva stood up and put her arms around Andy's neck. She went for another kiss but he turned away from her. "I am tired."

Eva stopped and looked at Andy. He was into her just a while ago... what happened? Mike said that the effects will transfer quickly. Shouldn't Andy be feeling it by now?

She smiled weakly. "Yeah. Can you stay with me until I sleep? Just tonight."

"Sure."

Andy carried Eva to her room and got to the bed with her. He cuddled in the bed with her and held her head under his chin. Eva tried to be intimate with Andy again, but he was rejecting her every move.

"Stop moving Eva or you'll never go to sleep."

Eva looked up and Andy and realized that the pills were not working at all. Did she go through all that pain for useless pills?! She would need to go kill that bastard Mike tomorrow. She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Andy stayed by her side before he was sure that she was sleeping. It was 1 a.m. and he got off her bed. He went to her phone and unlocked it. He looked through her phone history until there was a number that looked familiar to him.

He called it but it went to voicemail.

"Hello, Mike Zhao here. You have reached my number but I am unavailable at this moment. Please --"

Andy hung up the phone. Why is Eva in contact with Mike Zhao? Was he not the bastard son who wants to steal the fortune from Ming Zhao?

Andy was not in good term with any of the other kings, but being a top elite himself, he does not like someone who was a money seeker as Mike Zhao. In terms of choosing between the two brothers, he would side with Ming Zhao, who was the real heir of the Zhao empire.

He stared at the woman who was peacefully sleeping on her bed. He walked over and kissed her forehead. "Goodbye, my love."

He had the proof he needed. He used the antidote like what Lena said. But he was heartbroken and torn apart. He did not know what to do next.

He went to his room, changed out of his pajamas, grabbed his stuff and left the apartment.
