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
Erin looked at Caleb, suddenly at a loss for words. "Mr. Grant, I—""We're off work right now. You can call me by my name. Erin, are you really married?" Caleb still had a look of disbelief in his eyes.Erin thought of explaining it to Caleb a moment ago, but when he stood right before her, she suddenly didn't know where to begin.She looked at the staff slowly coming out of the office building. It was the end of the day, and she found it inconvenient to talk there, so she suggested, "Why don't we find a place to talk? I'll explain the matter clearly."Caleb nodded in agreement, and they walked to a café across the office building. When they entered the café, Erin found a corner and sat down while Caleb chose to sit opposite her.When the waiter arrived, they both ordered a cup of coffee and silently waited for their order. Once their coffee was served, Erin took a sip and said, "I'm indeed married, but I've been trying to settle a divorce with him for the past few days. When you
Erin placed her cutlery down. When Holly saw how regretful Erin looked, she immediately comforted her. "Hey, don't think about it anymore! Let the past remain in the past. Since he has something on you, I can't help you much. The Frost Corporation can grow even bigger, so I definitely believe that Chandler can be ruthless. We'll be at a disadvantage if we go up against him."Erin slowly suppressed her bitterness. She shouldn't air out her grievances to Holly. She shook her head and said, "It's fine! I'll treat it as a lesson learned!""Erin, please don't think I'm being nosy, but you should quickly settle your divorce with Ian. You're still married, yet you're living with another man. It does sound quite inappropriate. If Ian and his family find out about this, all hell will break loose."Holly was voicing what Erin was worried about. In a fit of rage, she told Holly what Ian had said to her.Holly almost flipped the table over after hearing Erin's story. She cursed, "Fuck him! I h
Erin never thought that she could come in first!"My design won? You're not just being biased?" she asked in disbelief. Caleb was a little displeased by her doubts. He said coolly, "Can't you just have a little confidence in yourself? Is that what you think of me? Even if I've asked you to let me be your boyfriend, I keep my work and private life separate! I only see a person's capabilities during work!"Erin immediately apologized for underestimating him, "I-I'm sorry."Caleb sighed and said, "Forget it! If you ever doubt me like this again, watch out! I'll make things very difficult for you!"Erin was a little taken aback, but she came to her senses when she realized Caleb was joking. She giggled and said, "Mr. Grant, it turns out you know how to crack a joke too!"Caleb smiled. "What nonsense. I'm human, after all. Can't I joke?"Standing in a dark corner, Dana was infuriated to no end seeing Erin and Caleb smiling. She was peeved that she only came in third in the competiti
