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
A tinge of surprise flashed across Andrew's eyes when he heard Chandler's question, but he quickly masked it with a smile and said, "He returned to the country over a month ago. Since his return, he has been busy handling cases. This time, a foreign company sent him back on official business. He had been here three times but always for work-related matters, so he didn't have time to meet you."Andrew seemed to be hiding something, but Chandler didn't expose him. He only chuckled. "Well, he's surely a busy lawyer, much busier than a president like me.""Haha, you guys are both busy people. By the way, Chandler, what's the relationship between that girl and you? How did she become a target of such a vicious plot with this virus?" Andrew couldn't help but become curious about Erin. How did she attract such ruthless enemies if she was an ordinary girl?The fact that they resorted to an experimental virus prohibited by the military indicated that the other party was not simply rich and infl
When Kyle arrived at the hospital with the meal, it was already past five in the afternoon.Wearing her patient gown, Erin walked over to the couch and sat down. Chandler had already opened all the meal boxes Kyle brought.The coffee table was filled with Erin's favorite dishes. They were all packed neatly in exquisite mini containers.Tears sprung to Erin's eyes when she saw that. Choking with emotion, she said, "These are all the dishes I love..."An unusual tenderness flashed across Chandler's eyes as he gently brushed her long hair. "I wanted to cook for you myself, but now that you're hospitalized, I had Kyle search for all the dishes you love in the city..."Before he could finish his sentence, Erin, deeply moved, threw herself into his embrace and sobbed softly. She never expected him to be so attentive.She never anticipated such meticulous preparations made just for her.The best way to win over a foodie was to treat her to all her favorite dishes.Erin's heart was captured by
Erin was kept under observation in the hospital for two days before getting discharged.Chandler ordered her to rest for the next three days. Otherwise, he threatened to have her transferred back to being his assistant from the design department.Erin naturally complied and was happy to enjoy her paid leave.She didn't want to tell anyone about being drugged, nor did she want her family and friends to worry.Moreover, the real culprit behind the incident was still on the loose. Hence, it was better to keep it a secret.It was 4.30 pm, and Erin was driving a white BMW towards a restaurant.Quentin, the legendary chairman and father of Chandler, had finally come to see her.As an employee of the company, she couldn't refuse to meet Chandler's father.Even though she was very nervous, she knew she couldn't just give up without trying.…Forty minutes later, Erin parked her car and walked into one of the most famous restaurants in the city.The restaurant was frequented by either prominent
After realizing she had bumped into someone, Erin quickly apologized, "I'm sorry!"As she looked up at the person, she was stunned. The handsome Louis was already grinning delightedly. "Miss Lane, it's you! What a coincidence to see you again...""I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry..."Louis glanced at the bank card in Erin's hands with his blue eyes. He then retrieved a card case from his suit's pocket and handed her a simple business card.Holding the card with two hands, he said sincerely, "Miss Lane, I know you're in a hurry. So I won't keep you long. Here is my business card. I hope you'll take it. I'm really sorry for mistaking you for my deceased wife last time. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me."Looking at the business card in his hand, Erin didn't know whether to accept it, but Louis continued to smile at her, his attitude sincere and full of goodwill.Eventually, she took Louis' business card and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a business
Upon hearing Matthew's question, Erin burst into tears. She threw herself into his arms and cried in distress.Hearing her sobs and noticing her red eyes, he suspected something had happened to her.Matthew thought someone must have bullied her, and he urgently asked, "What happened, Erin? Tell me who bullied you. I won't let them off!"Erin was alone in a suburban hotel wearing only a bathrobe. She must be naked underneath.He thought someone had assaulted her.If it weren't for his friend filming in the nearby studio and having agreed to drink with him that night, he wouldn't have come over to confront her about the noise from her room and subsequently run into her.Despite Matthew's persistent questioning, Erin refused to tell him anything until she cried herself out. Finally, she lifted her head and said, "I want to break up with Chandler...""Really?" Matthew could hear the excitement in his voice, but he quickly composed himself and asked, "Why?"Erin got up unsteadily and headed
