The hotel room door opened abruptly the second Erin rang the doorbell. Darkness was all she could see as a large hand dragged her inside and pushed her against the door. She could taste the wine from his lips, dulling her senses. The man was quite impatient.Erin had been struggling from the start but was completely overpowered by him. Her body felt weak, making her slide downward to the floor. The man carried her into the bedroom, where he pinned her down with his body once she was on the bed. His movements were rough, without any trace of gentleness.“You look special tonight…”Not even a few seconds later, Chandler stopped completely in his tracks, and a hand shot out to grab at Erin’s neck.Coldly, he said, “Why do I smell another man’s cologne all over you?”This smell was familiar to him. Erin struggled to breathe and tried to get up, but he had pinned her down completely. Although the lights were not turned on, she could feel his icy gaze on her. He was like a black panther, wai
On the second day of work, Erin was swamped at the office. She was at every designer’s beck and call. Erin and her friends who had been transferred to the design department were currently being ostracized by others in the department.However, Dana, Milly, and Ella were lucky. All three of them had been assigned an assistant position to head designers, so even though there were people in the department who did not like them, no one dared to actually order them around.Erin’s case was different. She finally got some time to take a break and walked into the break room to get herself a glass of water. Dana also happened to be walking out of the break room and pulled Erin to the stairwell.After she shut the door, she asked, “Erin, did your husband come to pick you up after work yesterday?”Erin froze. She had not told them about her divorce, nor did she want to tell them that for now. After all, there was nothing glorious about having a cheating husband.“No, my best friend came to get me.
Chandler’s eyes flashed. “He’s gone out for lunch, so now’s the perfect time for an illicit affair.”“You are so bold!” Erin was still anxious and kept sneaking glances at the door.Seeing her not focused on Chandler made him angry. He grabbed her chin with his hand. “You’re very bold to not be paying attention to me!”Erin softened her tone. “I’m really worried, what if someone comes in? We could both lose our jobs.”Chandler got up, picked her up, and walked straight toward the designated break room. Erin felt a sense of familiarity when they entered the break room. She thought of the morning she had woken up in that very same break room and turned pale.“Don’t tell me this is the president’s break room.”“No shit.”Her cheeks flushed, and she started to panic. She walked backward and anxiously said, “Don't come over.”Chandler walked toward her and said lowly, “You better service me well.”She wanted to leave, but he was still holding those pictures over her. Half an hour later, she
Erin took advantage of Ian’s shock and pushed him away with all her strength. She clutched the collar of her ruined blouse and ran out of the room. Tracy was standing at the entrance of the bedroom with a set of keys in her hands.Ian got up and felt a pang of regret. Why the fuck did he give Tracy her own set of keys? He brushed past her and rushed after Erin.He roared at Erin’s disappearing form, “If you don’t return my money you can forget about the divorce!” Erin had left, and Ian was annoyed just thinking about Tracy! If it weren't for her today, he would've been able to fuck Erin. Just thinking of the fresh hickeys on Erin’s body angered him to no end. He was going to find out who that bastard was!Ian stomped upstairs. Tracy apologized when she saw him. “Ian, I’m so sorry, did I disturb you two?”She despised Erin. How dare this bitch come back and seduce her man!“Tracy, didn't I say that I wanted to be alone today?”His tone was reprimanding and filled with annoyance, and T
After Dr. Louise arrived, he took Erin’s temperature and prescribed her some medicine. He also gave her a shot to reduce her fever. Originally the shot was to be administered at her posterior as it was the most effective, but Chandler didn't allow that.In the end, the shot was administered to her hand. This procedure could've been done in a few minutes but in the end, it became a 20-minute affair. While waiting for the device to administer the shot, Alan Louise sat in a corner, watching as Chandler stood. He had a hint of a smile on his face.“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I would never believe it. This is your first time bringing a woman home right?”Chandler’s eyes flashed and mumbled, “Who said it’s the first time?”“Oh, who did you bring home then?” Alan asked, disbelief coloring his face.“Why are you talking so much? I called you here to help her.” Chandler’s expression showed that he did not want to continue with this conversation. Seeing his reluctance, Alan also stoppe
Erin lowered her head slightly and saw that the driver of the car was none other than the handsome man she had met at the Royal Chamber.After seeing her stunned and hesitant expression, Sean said, “Miss, get in the car; you look like you’re in a hurry, and you won't be able to get a taxi here.”His enthusiasm to help made her stop in her tracks.She was still hesitant to get into the car, so Sean had no choice but to get out of it. He retrieved a cardholder from his suit pocket and gave her a business card. “This is my card. If I try to do something to you later, you can call the police.”As he spoke, he guided her to the front of his car to read the license plate number. Sean flashed her a mocking smile. “It’s easy to remember, right? You can give your best friend a call to tell her that you’re with me and that if you don't call her back later, she can call the police on me. That would prevent me from doing anything bad to you.”Erin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this a
Erin’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that she was in trouble with the director again. She could already guess that this was about the image retouchings.In the director’s office, Caleb was sitting in front of his monitor replying to emails. He raised his head to look at Erin and asked in a cool voice, “Do you know why you’re here?”Erin nodded. “Yes.”“What do you know then?”“I know that if I’m ever sick, I need to take a leave in advance and settle my work before that,” she said sincerely.Caleb stopped typing. He leaned back into his chair and said coldly, “I don't think you understand. Your irresponsibility has hindered the progress of the other designers! This has nothing to do with whether you were sick. You must always finish your work because the clients don't care about your personal problems. They only want to see results! Unless you’ve died or you’ve quit working at Frost Corporations, any other explanation is just an excuse! Do you understand?”Erin was pale; she
As the president of Frost Corporation, getting called a pervert was obviously not a great feeling. But it was different when Erin said it, and he didn't feel anger. Chandler quietly said, “I’m not a pervert to you, right?”Erin looked at him. This man was definitely ridiculously good-looking. She thought about the women gushing over how hot the president was, and an unspeakable image crossed her mind, making it hard for her to continue eating.Chandler had no idea what she was thinking about, and as he watched her struggle to swallow her food, he thought of that time in the break room.His eyes glistened, and his tone was compromising when he spoke. “I won’t force you like that time in the break room ever again.”Just thinking about that time made Erin’s face flush as red as a tomato. The risotto in her mouth suddenly tasted bad, and she ran to the breakroom. Chandler could hear her retching in the toilet from where he sat on the cuch. His expression soured. He threw his cutlery on
