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
The next morning, when Erin woke up, she screamed when she saw the man in her room. However, when she heard how hoarse her voice sounded, she awkwardly covered her mouth and shut up. Chandler was in a bathrobe as if he had just finished showering. He couldn't hide the disgust on his face as he sneered, "Erin, what are you screaming about? Haven't you screamed enough last night? I believe that the household staff didn't sleep well."He threw her a flirtatious glance before heading to the walk-in closet. At that moment, Erin was all alone in the huge bedroom. She got up and noticed she was wearing an extremely see-through sleeping gown—it wasn't hers! She was guessing whether it belonged to one of Chandler's other women. At that thought, she disgustedly stripped off the sleeping gown and threw it on the floor.If it weren't for the hickeys on her body, her porcelain skin would be almost flawless. The previous bite mark had disappeared, thanks to the medication the butler gave her
Erin was struck speechless upon seeing Chandler's furious reaction.The car was suddenly in pin-drop silence. Chandler has finally calmed down a little. He had lost control of his emotions a moment ago, which was why he was feeling annoyed. He looked tense and said nothing.When they reached the parking lot of the office building, they still didn't talk to each other, merely taking their respective elevators to their offices.When Erin was at her office, she wanted to look for Dana to ask her some questions. It wasn't that she suspected Dana of drugging her. After all, she never had any conflicts with Dana, even when they were at their previous company. She didn't think Dana would harm her. However, she only chatted and drank with Caleb and Dana the night before. Her thoughts couldn't help but drift toward Caleb.She was even more unconvinced that Caleb would have drugged her. Thinking about how righteous and kind he looked, even suspecting him was considered an insult to him.Whe
Erin smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I only have that one best friend."Caleb sighed and said, "Well, I guess we'll have to do it another day. I'll eat alone today. I won't keep you any longer.""Thank you, Mr. Grant."When Erin was taking the elevator up to the highest floor, her phone rang. She had a look and saw that it was from an unknown number. She picked up, thinking that it might be her mother."Hello, am I speaking to Erin Lane?"When she heard a rather unfriendly man's voice on the phone, she said in detest, "Yes, I am. Who are you?""You can call me Tony. Your parents are with me right now. Your father owes me ten million dollars from gambling, yet your mother only brought two million over, naively thinking she could take him away. If everyone who owes me doesn't repay me, my reputation will be ruined!Tony was clearly unhappy. Although he wasn't speaking fiercely, his cold tone still frightened Erin. She didn't need to guess that Tony was no saint!Also, Tony had mistaken G
