Chandler patiently watched the video to the end. Then he picked up the phone and returned it to Erin. “Although the angle is a bit off, you got everything important. If you’re so confident, go ahead and post it online.”Erin trembled with anger. A thousand thoughts ran through her mind. She had presented such solid evidence, yet he wasn't even afraid.“You’re the president of Frost Corporation. Aren’t you afraid that such a scandal will affect the company's public image?" She couldn't help but remind him of the public impact of workplace harassment.”In the video, you didn’t ask for help. Moreover, it was taken secretly. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you had ulterior motives. Who will believe your side of the story when it's exposed? Once the truth comes out, you’ll be the one who won’t be able to survive in this city. Why should I be afraid?”Erin’s courage was crushed in an instant.Her face turned pale. Never did she expect that the video she thought would give her an ad
She remembered that the champion would become the design assistant to the director. Erin looked at Caleb's cool yet rather gentle dark eyes. The sincerity in them made her heart skip a beat, and she blushed uncontrollably. She tried hard to collect herself and said warmly, "Mr. Grant, thank you. I'll try my best in the competition!"Erin didn't know what else to say. She was already forced to become Chandler's secret lover even before she got divorced. How could she drag Caleb into this?Caleb looked a little disappointed when he heard what Erin said. He smiled to cover up his true emotions. "You don't have to give me an answer now. Go home and think it over."Erin nodded rather awkwardly. "I'll leave then, Mr. Grant.""Okay."The moment she opened the door, Erin almost crashed into Janette standing near it. Without any expressions on her face, Janette said curtly, "Watch where you're going. How could you come up with a good design if you're so careless!""I'm sorry, Ms. Will
"Erin, why the hell are you flying off the handle? I'm trying to discuss this with you. My mom went to the office today and stayed there for three hours. How could I work in such conditions? She was there to bug me about having children, complaining of how bored she was staying home or playing poker all day. Recently she's envious of the old couple next door. She said she also wanted grandchildren, and she would care for them. She even made a compromise! She said that it's fine if you prefer your job, but you must have a child first!" Ian said, as if that was the most logical thing in the entire world.What he said instantly struck Erin dumb with fury. She stood before him, looking at the man who graduated college with her, unable to understand how he became this way. He was becoming more and more like a stranger! Ever since he started his tech company, he was so used to being a leader in the office that even at home, he was self-centered and selfish. It caused her a lot of grief.
Erin noticed Sean with a husky on a leash 30 feet away from her. She continued walking ahead, pretending she didn't see him. When she was close to him, Sean suddenly blocked her way. Even the husky joined in. "Move!" At that moment, Erin was like a provoked panther on edge. Her eyes were filled with rage.Sean, who was in a casual outfit, said condescendingly, "From what I can see, the coat on you definitely isn't Chandler's. So, whose is it?"Erin huffed, "Why should I tell you?"Sean raised his eyebrow and snickered, saying, "Of course, you're obliged to tell me. As Chandler's best friend, if his woman is having an affair behind his back, I'll have to let him know about it."At the thought of Chandler's devilishly handsome face, Erin was a little afraid. She was worried that Sean would twist the facts, so she explained grimly, "It's not what you think. I didn't betray him.""I can't accept such a sketchy explanation. You still haven't told me the real reason." Sean's eyes gl
There was a hint of lust in the air. Erin coughed awkwardly and said, "My god, you really have no filter. I'm wearing the clothes. I won't take the tag off; I'll return them to you! Give me your address, and I'll courier it to you."Sean realized his seduction was futile, and he regained a little clarity. He cleared his throat and said, "Stop teasing me. Why would I want the things that I have given away? It's just a few thousand dollars. Are you trying to embarrass me by sending it back?"Erin insisted. "I'm different from the other women! I can't accept the clothes. I will return it to you. Stop with the nonsense, and just give me your address!"Sean furrowed his brow at her insistence, but suddenly he was once again delighted after giving it some thought. He took his phone out of his pocket, inserted his passcode, and opened his contacts. He took his phone over to her. "Alright, I'll contact you later on. Let's exchange contacts."Erin subconsciously reached for her phone when s
Tracy's pleas did nothing to convince Ian. He merely pried her arms off him and said calmly, "Tracy, think about what I said, then come and let me know. You're still young. You do have the right to choose the life you want. I won't be able to give you a proper status if you stay with me. This fact won't change."Then, Ian left without any hesitation.Tracy wanted to chase after him, but she held back. She had almost become the type of woman that Ian found least attractive – the one that never knew when to stop!She returned to her room dejectedly, thinking about how Ian's charming looks and skills in bed always drove her crazy with delight and how her previous two boyfriends could not compare at all, let alone the man interested in her back home. She wasn't an idiot. The price of those three properties was barely worth anything in the huge city where she was.Just on that alone, she was not willing to give Ian up. She only said what she said because she thought Ian held her in high
When Erin heard the familiar man's voice, her heart skipped a beat before beating wildly. There was a slight quiver in her voice. "How did I end up here?"The last time she was sick, she was in this bedroom too. She then realized the place might be Chandler's home, as she previously thought it was just some wealthy woman's mansion.Chandler, in a dapper suit, walked over to her and dimmed the light shining on her attractive face.He gazed at her with his deep-set eyes, saying, "Erin, what happened last night? You better come clean. Don't make me send men to investigate this!"If he didn't happen to be there the night before, he was sure that Erin would have been raped.Kyle, his secretary, called him in the wee hours of the morning, saying that the two men had confessed the mastermind behind it. Kyle looked into the person and told Chandler that he was the president of one of the corporations.Erin looked at his darkened gaze. She was still feeling a little hungover and nauseous
Erin's answer clearly made Chandler unhappy."Why are you not divorced yet? Are you ignoring my wishes, Erin?" Chandler looked right in front, but Erin could sense him gritting his teeth.The tension in the car was so palpable that Erin could feel her hair stand. She didn't want to aggravate him, so she said feebly, "My husband—"Chandler cast her a murderous gaze. "How dare you still call him your husband!"Erin immediately corrected herself. "He insists on having a child before getting a divorce.""What the fuck?"What she said stunned Chandler so much that he swore."I also thought that what he said was nuts! I didn't say yes! But he is an erratic imbecile—I can't do anything about it! When I returned him the five million dollars previously, he almost…"Chandler narrowed his eyes and asked in a quiet yet dangerous voice, "Did he touch you?""No! He failed to!" Erin quickly explained. She had a vague feeling that if Ian really were to do something to her, she would have died
