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
“Yeah, men are all shit. Most women will meet at least one scumbag in their lifetimes.” Holly grabbed a nearby pillow and settled down more comfortably on the couch.Erin raised her eyes to look at Holly. “Aren’t you and Eugene divorced? Why was he here?”Holly, who had been staring at the ceiling, turned to look at her. “He told me that it’s his grandfather’s 80th birthday next month, and he needs me to put on an act with him so his grandfather doesn't find out that we’re divorced. His grandfather is an old-fashioned man and definitely won’t allow our divorce.” she said hopelessly.“But your divorce has nothing to do with his grandfather!” Erin was surprised.Holly smiled bitterly. “It’s not just his grandfather; we haven't even told our own parents about it.”Erin’s heart sank. Her divorce was also the same—she hadn’t told anyone besides Holly about it yet, not even her parents.But her situation was worse than Holly’s. At least Holly had managed to get a proper divorce and was
Erin was taken aback; she’d never thought that he would care about her. Her tone softened as she replied, “It’s getting better. I’m almost fully recovered.”He nodded, satisfied with her answer.He patted the seat next to him. “Come here.”“No thanks. If you have something you want to say, just say it.” Erin was starting to panic and even took two steps backward.Chandler chuckled. “You seem scared of me.”She sneered. “Right, it’s not like you look like a monster; why would I be afraid of you?” Though she claimed that she wasn't afraid, she still didn't get any closer to him.Chandler didn’t force her, either. He placed his coffee mug down and gave a sticky note that was on the table a light knock. “Find all the books that are on this list.”He’d asked her to come up to look for books?Chandler continued reading the news, so Erin slowly moved toward him and picked up the sticky note. She was surprised to see that a few of the books on the list were design books that she’d wa
The meeting lasted for two hours.Erin went back to her office feeling awful. She had not only received criticism from her supervisor but also needed to work overtime to complete the 20 designs because of the lengthy meeting.Her hatred for Chandler grew deeper.Shortly after she went back to work, it was lunch time. Dana and the others came to invite her to eat together.“You guys go ahead. I won't have lunch today. I still have work to finish...“ Erin stared listlessly at the computer screen.Dana pulled her up. “Erin, do you think you’re a robot? How can you work without eating? Although we’re office workers and not manual laborers, our job has high mental demands! Besides, you just recovered from a cold. Do you want to get sick again by damaging your body like this?““Yeah, Erin. We know you're not in a good mood, but we've decided to treat you to a big meal. Eat to your heart's content, then come back to work!“ Even Milly, who was usually stingy, spoke up to invite her. Erin
