Upon hearing Erin's words, Chandler frowned a little as he stood in place, giving it a thought for a while. Then, he walked over to the couch, looking at her from the corner of his eye, and said, "Why don't we have a seat and talk about it, Miss Pamela."Erin took a deep breath and said, "Alright."She walked over to the couch as well. Not long after, both of them were seated.Chandler leaned against the back of the leather couch, crossing his long, handsome legs. His gaze was calm as he asked, "Why are you so sure I'll listen to Yvette and fire you?"Erin deflected the question by saying, "Yvette said I'm prone to violence, so it's too dangerous for me to be around Asa.""Do you think you're prone to violence?" Chandler asked calmly.Erin thought about it seriously, reflecting on her past. About two minutes later, she said with certainty, "I don't think I'm prone to violence. If Yvette didn't truly infuriate me, I never would have slapped her."Upon hearing that, Chandler said
When Yvonne's cries filled Chandler's office, he turned around to look at her. He could not help but find it funny when he saw that it was really her. Yvette came as soon as Pamela left. As expected, she had come to complain about Pamela.However, Pamela seemed to be smarter as she knew to steal a march on Yvette.At that moment, Yvette entered Chandler's office with an "injury" on her face."Chandler, I was slapped by Asa's teacher, Pamela, today! She's Asa's teacher, so I can only come to you about this …" Yvette did not bring Flora along with her. After all, not everybody could enter Chandler's office unannounced. She was Erin's sister and Asa was close with her, so if Yvette came to look for Chandler in the past two years, she could come upstairs straight away without him being notified beforehand.Chandler walked toward the couch with the cigarette between his fingers. Yvette had taken a seat on the couch before he did.She had deliberately gotten the makeup artist, Michell
After Erin left the Frost building, she went to a restaurant nearby for some spaghetti.Just when she was done and about to foot the bill, she saw a woman entering, but not long after, the woman bent over with a grimace.Erin immediately went up to check on her. She knew this woman. She was one of her colleagues back then—Milly.The owner of the restaurant was hesitating if he should help when he saw Milly having an emergency. Seeing that Erin had already gone up to help her, the owner signaled the waiter not to get involved."Are you not feeling well, miss?" Erin had already helped Milly to a seat.Milly was in so much pain that she bit her lips, her face got a little paler, and she broke out in cold sweats on her forehead.Seeing that things did not seem too good from the way she looked, the owner of the restaurant could not help but walk up and said to Erin, "Miss, she looks like she's in pain, so hurry up and take her to the hospital! What if it's appendicitis?"Milly was st
The young man was Steven's secretary, and his name was Shawn Coleman. He didn't spare Tracy a glance. Instead, he just lowered his gaze and said, "Mr. Lane will fly over to meet a client in the evening. There was a problem with the last order, so Mr. Lane has to talk to the client face to face this time to smooth things over. He needs to do so to avoid losing this client. I hope you understand, Mrs. Lane.""Understand, you say? Hmph! I understand him enough! He's fooling around behind my back with the new female employee, isn't he? Does he think I'm clueless? That female employee is just younger than me and not nearly as attractive as I am. His taste is getting worse!"Although Tracy wore sunglasses that obscured her eyes, Erin, who sat opposite her, could fully sense her sarcasm and disdain. Erin pretended to lower her head and text on her phone but she was actually paying close attention to their conversation. In just a few short sentences, she learned that her father had another n
The moment she heard Matthew's name, a flash of astonishment darted across Erin's eyes.Milly smiled through her tears and said, "See, I knew you would know. Matthew told me that his brother, Warren, had many women on the side, and none of those were serious relationships. He even advised me not to take it seriously and to get out early or I would get hurt."Hearing her words, Erin silently approved of what Matthew did. At least he had the sense to warn Milly to not be foolish.Keeping her expression neutral, Erin asked, "Milly, are you experiencing financial difficulties? Why didn't you opt for a painless procedure at the hospital?"Since Milly mentioned that Warren had spent a considerable amount of money on her, one question arose—where did the money go?At the mention of money, Milly's expression turned somewhat gloomy. She explained helplessly, "I have two younger brothers back in my hometown. Now, they're at the age to get married. I come from a remote village, and you know
When Matthew asked that question, Erin smirked. Only someone of significant status or someone who was a gangster would ask that kind of question.The implied meaning was more or less something along the lines of, "I'm powerful! I'm someone important! How can you not know who I am … "Erin played along and glanced at him, treating it as a joke."I beg your pardon. Would you mind telling me which heavenly being you might be, kind sir?" Erin asked nonsensically.Matthew almost stumbled upon hearing that and wondered which planet this eccentric lady came from. Looking at this woman who was so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly, Matthew assumed that she would be somewhat vain and must have secretly thought of becoming a celebrity. He walked over to her and sat down not far away. Then, he took out his exquisite silver business card holder from his suit pocket and pulled out a card, placing it on the coffee table in front of the sofa."This is my business card. I believe you must hav
Since Erin was having difficulty breathing with her neck being squeezed, she couldn't say anything even if she wanted to!At this moment, Erin truly regretted playing with fire. She cursed herself in her mind for being so reckless. Matthew wasn't just a friend, he was Erin's greatest friend and her fiercest protector, which seemed quite ironic right now, considering who he was strangling.Erin almost got choked to death for badmouthing herself. She'd been asking for trouble by constantly provoking Matthew with her words.Matthew's furious roar caught Warren's attention, and Milly's bedroom door swung open. Milly stood at the doorway, screaming her head off in fright. She had no idea what could have happened in the living room that led to such a scene.Warren pushed aside the terrified Milly and shouted loudly, "Matthew, let go of her immediately!"His timely shout brought some rationality back to Matthew, who was consumed by anger. His eyes finally focused, and his vision became c
Erin thought she must have done something really bad in her past life, and the universe was repaying her in the form of this one man sent to torture her—Ian.Little did she expect her ex-husband would hit her when she was just casually making her way through an intersection. Right then, Erin struggled to suppress her temper. She didn't want to turn into a shrew cursing in the street and causing a scene. She moved her knee, grimacing in pain, and wanted to try standing up on her own. Alas, she failed to do so."Don't move! I'll call an ambulance right away!" Ian's face looked somber. It would be an understatement to say that he was surprised when he saw that it was Erin. He'd somehow run into her again.Erin glanced at Ian and saw him making a phone call. Soon, he was giving the hospital the details of the accident over the phone. She entrusted him with the task. He was the one who ran into her, after all. So, he should take responsibility for her current condition. Even if they didn
