Erin opened her eyes to see her cousin staring fiercely down at her, and she was drenched all over. She could not contain the fiery flames of fury rising within her too. "What's gotten into you, May?"Seeing the innocent look on Erin's face, May screamed, "What's gotten into me? Who allowed you to wear my clothes without my permission?""Your clothes?"May held a creased Chanel top and spat at her, "What's this, Erin? Are you going to tell me that this is yours?"Her rude attitude made Erin feel extremely disheartened. She had not even been able to bring herself to question May about everything she just learned.But now, May was shouting and screaming at her over a mere shirt. Erin looked at the shirt aloofly. It was the shirt that Chandler had used to cover her face earlier on. Who would have known that it was such an expensive piece?"Is this really how you're treating me over a shirt?"Erin's words did not lead May to reflect on her actions. Instead, she answered even more rudely, "
Erin wasn't quite used to how open Dana was being. Dana would never have visited such a place in the past. But she thought of how she had once acted on impulse and hired a male escort in the past and decided that she was in no position to judge Dana.Erin awkwardly proposed, "Dana, why don't we just have time to ourselves? We can just sing and have a few drinks. I don't think we need the male escorts, do we?"Milly and Ella obviously felt uncomfortable with the arrangement too. "That's right, Dana. I think we don't need them…" Ella echoed.Ella only learned that Milly was going to be there when she entered the private room. Had she known earlier, she would not have turned up.Ever since she had a falling out with Milly, she no longer talked to her anymore, unless it was absolutely necessary.If not for Dana, who told her that she would find a job back in her hometown, she did not even feel like attending the gathering.There were eight of them in the room, all well-dressed and looking
Worried that the group might seek revenge on him, the guy with a flattop haircut was trembling with fear. What if they dragged him to some secluded forest and buried him alive?"Boss, please spare me…I'll spill the truth! I'll tell you everything!"He voluntarily handed over his phone, relieved it wasn't damaged. His bloodied fingers trembled as he opened the unread message he hadn't had a chance to delete."She was the one who contacted me!"Erin took the phone from him and glanced at the phone number, almost smashing it in her anger."Dana Sawyer!"She immediately handed the man's phone to Hans.Standing nearby, Hans spoke up, "Mr. Frost had instructed me to leave this matter wholly to you."Erin's eyes were filled with blazing fury at this moment. She now wholeheartedly believed that Dana was also behind the previous drugging incident!She instructed Hans, "Call the police."Without saying a word, Hans promptly dialed the number.…During the wait, several staff members from the clu
As Erin met his gaze, her heartbeat suddenly intensified. She could even hear a thump in her ears. Taking a deep breath, she gathered her courage and said, "Chandler, I've wrongly accused you previously! I'm sorry!"After apologizing, she hung her head in remorse.Chandler snorted coldly without saying a word, but a hint of pleasure flashed across his eyes.Emboldened, Erin slowly approached him and stopped five paces away.With unwavering sincerity in her eyes, she said, "Thank you for tonight!"She inclined her head to show her sincerity and clasped her hands together in a motion of gratefulness.Chandler suddenly said coldly, "Alright, I'm not dead yet! You don't have to act like that with me."Hearing his impatient tone, Erin was somewhat amused. He seemed displeased with her acting coy after getting away from the situation!Chandler leaned back against the chair behind him and uttered in a chilling voice, "Instead of those useless words, why don't you do something practical? That
Five days later, Chandler made an exception and agreed to let Erin transfer back to the design department.Being a secretary was not suitable for her at all. Since she moved into Chandler's office, she had practically nothing to do on a daily basis.Chandler delegated all his tasks to Kyle, and he never assigned any tasks to her. After all, their areas of expertise were different. She lacked experience in important matters, and minor tasks made her feel like she wasn't valued.As an excellent designer, she couldn't spend her days just ordering meals and making coffee, could she?Finally, after five days of constant lamenting and complaining, the formidable Chandler gave in to Erin.At this moment, Erin was tidying up the last few things on her desk, her face filled with excitement.Chandler stole glances at her. Noticing how quickly her desk became empty, he couldn't help but feel a hint of uneasiness.Throwing his pen aside, he spoke in a teasing and cold tone, "Are you so thrilled to
Instantly, Erin was surrounded by several female designers. It was almost lunchtime, and everyone was starting to relax."Is it from your husband?""Even though you're married, your husband still sends you roses? How romantic!"The wild assumptions kept coming, and Erin made a firm decision. She said, "You've misunderstood. It's not from my husband. I'm actually divorced now..." In order to prevent any further misunderstanding, Erin decided to reveal the truth.Mixed expressions flashed across her female colleagues' faces when they heard the truth. An awkward atmosphere settled in for a moment.Standing not far away, Ella walked over to help defuse the situation. She smiled and said, "Erin's husband cheated on her during their marriage. He's truly despicable! But look at Erin. She's young and beautiful. She has plenty of options. You see, even her admirers are sending flowers to the office!"With just a few words, Ella managed to convey the situation to the surrounding gossiping collea
Toward the end of the workday, Erin's phone rang. It was a call from May.Although they were no longer running the online shop together or sharing a rented apartment, they were still relatives, so Erin answered the call.As soon as she picked up, May started cursing. "Erin, are you fucking serious? What kind of shitty house did you rent? The landlord sold the house shortly after we rented it! Now the landlord is pressuring me to move out! How am I supposed to find a new place in such a short time?"May started to direct her anger at Cherry. Erin's face immediately fell when she heard that. "May Chapman, you'd better watch your mouth! My mom didn't provoke you."May toned it down slightly at Erin's words. "I'm just really stressed out. Didn't the landlord assure us when we signed the lease that they wouldn't sell the house in the near future? Why did they change their mind?"Erin could sympathize with May's current situation. After all, she was the one who had signed the lease, so she f
Caleb, who had returned unexpectedly, suddenly had a change of heart. Subconsciously, he felt a strong urge to safely escort Erin back home. Just as he stepped out of the subway station, he was startled to find Erin lying on the ground.Just as Caleb was about to rush over, another man arrived ahead of him. It was Hans."Miss Lane! Miss Lane!" Hans' expression was stern. He had been discreetly following Erin the whole time.To prevent Erin from recognizing him, he had even disguised himself with a fisherman's hat and a thick beard.Without hesitation, Caleb also crouched down to assess Erin's condition. Worriedly, he said, "Erin! Wake up, please..."A crowd began to gather, and Hans immediately said, "We need to get her to the hospital right away! We can't afford any further delays..."He wanted to carry Erin himself, but considering Chandler might mind, Hans took the initiative and said, "Mr. Grant, could you kindly help carry Miss Lane? I'm Hans, Mr. Frost's bodyguard, and it might n
