Chapter 129: Can I really refuse?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Eranthe didn't want to cause trouble for Urania, and any issues with Scarlett could affect Urania and Adrian's relationship.
Colin instantly understood. She didn't want to cause any trouble for her aunt.
"Keep an eye on her, don't let her leave," he ordered, then picked up Eranthe and walked towards the car, with Acacia following behind.
Acacia personally hoped that Colin and Eranthe would reconcile, not because he was the most powerful man in Assyria, but because she could see that Colin genuinely cared for Eranthe.
Dylan used to treat Eranthe well, but when things got tough, he wasn't as reliable as Colin. Ironically, in the end, he ended up hurting Eranthe.
Colin, being a prominent figure, was willing to swallow his pride publicly.
Acacia, feeling a bit inexplicable, thought that falling in love with someone like Colin, with no possibility of a future, would be a very painful experience.
Eranthe was placed in the car, her body curl

A hint of mockery appeared on her face.Especially since there are her clients involved; having signed contracts, she can't afford the consequences of offending them."With me, of course, you can refuse," Colin assured her, although his thoughts remained inscrutable."But we've ended our relationship. Even if we haven't, I don't want a relationship where I have to rely on you and make enemies everywhere," she added, referencing the ambiguous situations that had caused her a lot of unwarranted trouble.Colin remained silent, his body emanating a crisp fragrance mixed with the scent of the beverage.Eranthe observed his disheveled state and handed him tissues. "Thank you for tonight," she said."Hmm," Colin responded coldly.They fell into silence.It was only when Acacia returned that the driver came in to start the car.When they arrived home, it was Colin who carried Eranthe upstairs. Acacia opened the door, found slipp
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 131: Do you know how big this business is?
Eva couldn't quite understand whether Ana was pleased or displeased. She thought that as a female leader, Ana probably looked down on such behavior.However, Eva had no idea that Ana, if she truly were so upright, wouldn't be able to navigate the workplace successfully. In this world, people who were too straightforward, with sharp edges, couldn't thrive for long.Moreover, Ana, for now, was allowing Eranthe to bring in business. As long as it didn't touch Ana's personal interests, she tacitly approved.This was because, before leaving, she wanted to present the company leadership with a perfect report, and Eranthe was evidently contributing to that.As for the man behind Eranthe, if it were Colin, Ana would see it as a golden opportunity.However, she also harbored suspicions about Eranthe. The premise for her kindness was that Eranthe could be controlled by her.But if not, if this person she supported to climb the ranks turned out to be s
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 132: It's just that you might have a tough time
She decided to contact William to get some clarity.William picked up the phone promptly.Eranthe spoke sincerely, "Mr. Hernandez, I'm not holding a grudge against you. I accept your apology. However, I'd appreciate it if you don't bring up this matter again. It's causing me a lot of trouble, and involving my superiors will only complicate things.""I'm just a small employee in Ashly, and, as a boss, you should understand that this could easily offend higher-ups for me. Such actions could make enemies for me."William was somewhat surprised.Who would dare offend her when she had Colin's backing? Moreover, Colin's protection was stronger than that of his intimate friends. Didn't Ashly Group have eyes?Unless it's Eranthe, who probably hadn't disclosed her relationship with Colin to anyone, and everything suggests that Eranthe might be keeping her connection with Colin a secret."Don't think like that. We genuinely want to do business

"Let's not talk about this. What do you want for dinner tonight? I'll cook for you.""I love everything you cook."When Adrian came over after work, the three of them would have a meal at Eranthe's place."Elsa living alone in this house, isn't it too lonely? Be careful when you come home at night, don't take the dark alleys. Maybe I should buy a pair of men's shoes to place at the door." Adrian looked at the house with some concern.Eranthe, aware of her previous experiences, didn't steer the conversation in that direction. "It's enough for me alone. I stay busy with work, so I don't feel lonely.""You're a worry-free good girl," Adrian sighed.He remembered when Eranthe was as old as Scarlett, so obedient and cautious, fearing to cause the slightest trouble for Urania. People really varied.Eranthe noticed Adrian had scratches on his hand, likely from Scarlett scratching him the night before.Adrian didn't stay too long. Now
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 134: Colin left only his silhouette for her
Morris rolled his eyes and said directly, "Then you take it back. We at Rodriguez Group have always done business like this. No matter what it is, it's all about competition, isn't it? Since it's a competition, let everyone rely on their own abilities."He tried to phrase it delicately, and besides, Morris himself believed in this philosophy.Men are inherently hunters, and taking the initiative is their nature.Even animals know to use duels to attract the attention of females; the winner becomes the king. If you passively wait, you increase the risk of losing your prey, as there are other males in the jungle.Moreover, the Rodriguez family is the leader of the werewolf clan, and Colin is the Alpha of the werewolf pack. It goes without saying that the instinct to take the initiative, to fight to the death, and to snatch his prey is deeply embedded in his genes.Colin gave him a glance, and there was a rare hint of pleasure in his eyes.Morr

Sometimes she felt as if it were all a dream.Justin sat beside her, still happy to be at this event, "Eranthe, I bought two tickets for a concert. Want to join?"Eranthe turned to him, "No need. I'm not familiar with music."Justin, slightly disappointed, didn't see the shadow in her eyes, "Oh, I thought you liked classical music. I saw you chatting happily with that cellist before."Eranthe was surprised, "That was a long time ago."Blushing, Justin hinted, "Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on you."Feeling awkward, Eranthe replied."Your little sweetheart is being flirted with. How's that guy doing?"Frank's annoying tone chimed in.Colin glanced back and saw Justin, that fool, sitting with Eranthe.He, without concern, replied, "She's not interested in him."Frank had no doubts. After all, having been with Colin, if she still chose that guy, wouldn't she be insane?During their conversation, the ho

Selena put on her high heels and gracefully left.Eranthe played with her phone on the bed, initially planning to get some work done. Surprisingly, Ana sent her a message, asking her to come to the room upstairs.Eranthe didn't think twice, brought her laptop, tidied up her hair, and left the room.When she reached the top floor, she wondered why Ana, who should be staying on the 39th floor, was now on the 98th floor. This area was probably reserved for high-level executives of major companies. Could Vice President Hill also be here?Eranthe quickened her pace. When she arrived at the door of the room, she found it was open. She knocked, "Ana?"No one responded. Eranthe left the door slightly ajar and entered. "Ana?"The presidential suite was empty, with a computer set up in the middle of the meeting area and a black suitcase.Eranthe worried that she might have entered the wrong room. Just as she was about to leave, the door to the

He would pamper her, indulge her, but he wouldn't and couldn't love her.That was the limit of what he could offer.His selfish and cunning nature, wrapped in a handsome exterior, aimed solely at achieving his goals, no matter the means.He would never reflect on his actions, and being a virtuous man wasn't his code of conduct.His behavior mirrored his business style. What he wanted, he would aggressively pursue, obtaining it as quickly as possible. As for the process, did it really matter?Eranthe pushed Colin away, and he, unguarded and unfazed, accepted it. When she pushed him to the ground, he adjusted his posture calmly, appearing unruffled. The towel around his waist loosened, but he remained composed.Eranthe pretended not to notice, even though she was fuming."Colin, do you think I'm stupid? There must be something you hinted to Ana. Otherwise, how could she do such a thing?"Ignoring whether she could deduce their re

Eranthe replied, "If I had no conscience, I wouldn't give you medicine to take."Colin turned his head in frustration.Morris arrived promptly upon hearing that Colin was ill, and Eranthe happened to be handing over her shift to him."Follow the instructions on the medicine label for him. I've prepared hot water. Just remember to close the door when you leave," Eranthe said, aware that she had only half an hour for her commute and couldn't linger.Morris nodded repeatedly but then noticed the deathly stare from his boss."Miss Taylor.""Yes?""Today, I also need to take a day off with Mr. Rodriguez. Could you please take care of him?""Today's schedule is packed for me. I can't look after him," Eranthe replied, well aware of Morris's tactics. His loyalty was clearly with Colin.Morris was quick on his feet. "Miss Taylor, my mom is coming to Assyria City today. I was planning to take the afternoon off anyway. Mr. Rodrigue
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 259: I have to take care of it myself
Colin raised an eyebrow in disappointment, then spread out the sheets and lay down with the cat.But clearly, he couldn't sleep. The scent of the woman still lingered in the air, constantly tempting him and making him feel uncomfortably hot.He decided to take off his shirt, his long legs hanging off the sofa because it was too small for him to stretch out fully.Every time he closed his eyes, he pictured her exceptionally enchanting appearance.Inside the house, Eranthe tossed and turned, feeling like her territory had been invaded. She regretted not ignoring him.Why was this so troublesome? If only she had ignored him, she would have fallen asleep by now.After lying in bed for half an hour without feeling drowsy, she scratched her head, feeling the need to use the bathroom. But the bathroom was outside the room...What if that dog suddenly pounced on her?If he dared, she would punch him.Eranthe silently vowed, lift

Eranthe: ...She really wanted to smash this guy with the water bottle."Go home!"If she kept listening to him, she might start feeling a little soft-hearted.Colin smiled subtly and followed her casually, like a large dog.On the way home, Eranthe repeated multiple times not to take advantage of any opportunity to enter her home.Colin agreed readily, and when it came time to open the door, she insisted on watching him enter before she unlocked it, like she was guarding against a thief.Colin asked, "Are you really sure you don't need me to escort you home?""Mr. Rodriguez, I'm already home.""What if someone unwelcome shows up at your place?"Eranthe laughed, "Then I'll call the police. It's scarier letting you in. Maybe you should worry more about whether there's a headless ghost under your bed at night, or someone staring at you from outside your window."After saying this, Eranthe watched with satisfa

"..." Eranthe concluded that communicating with him was indeed asking for trouble.Eranthe opened the door to leave, and Colin followed.Eranthe cursed inwardly. She had let her guard down. It seemed Colin had taken advantage of the moment to change his clothes, and now he was accompanying her to eat."Mr. Rodriguez, someone of your stature shouldn't be playing the role of a tracker," Eranthe remarked."No, of course not," Colin assured her."Let's hope you stick to that," Eranthe responded skeptically."Agreed."The two entered the elevator. "Where are you headed, Mr. Rodriguez?""Depends on my mood.""..." What a watertight answer! Depending on his mood meant wherever she was going, he would follow!The elevator quickly arrived, and as luck would have it, they encountered the elderly lady downstairs again."Oh dear, finished your meal, young couple? Going out for a stroll?"Eranthe smiled awkwardly

Wasn't he just trying to make her insist he stay?"Forget it, sit down and eat. It's like I'm bullying you," she muttered.Colin moved closer. "Miss Taylor, are you inviting me?"He glanced at his watch. "During my working hours, I'm not allowed to eat with clients, but if a client requests it, I can provide additional services.""What additional services? Dishwashing?""A deep kiss.""Eh?" Eranthe gave him a deadpan smile. "You're fired.""My employer isn't Miss Taylor, so you don't have the authority for that, but you can complain.""And the solution to complaints—is it also a kiss?"Colin remained serious, adopting an austere expression. "Miss Taylor, I'm here for part-time work, not to sell myself."Eranthe couldn't stomach her meal after that.“Colin, are you even serious? Should I start a fundraiser to buy you a mirror?” Eranthe retorted, still seething.This guy had the audac

Then, as if in disbelief, the doorbell rang."I'm sorry, Miss Taylor, it seems the nutritionist has arrived. We've already paid, so it would be awkward to send him away."Eranthe: ...Why did you even schedule this?!It's just stirring up trouble for no reason!She didn't want to take it out on innocent people, so she hung up the phone and went to open the door, expecting to see a lady but finding a tall man at the door instead.Eranthe burst out laughing, "Mr. Rodriguez.""When did you start moonlighting as a nutritionist?" Eranthe crossed her arms, eager to hear what else he could come up with.Colin raised an eyebrow, "Just bored after work, making some extra cash."He gestured to come inside, leaving Eranthe speechless. She was also worried about leaving the door open and the cat suddenly darting out.Once Colin successfully entered, it was just like before—efficiently grabbing onions, ginger, and garlic

Most likely, Colin was just there as a witness the whole time.Eranthe adjusted her position, leaning closer to the car window, and closed her eyes again.When she woke up once more, it was to the sound of honking outside the window.She suddenly looked as night fell, turning her head abruptly to meet the man's dark gaze.She jumped slightly, and Colin said casually, "Awake?"Eranthe checked the time and realized it was already 7:40. She must have slept quite a while in the car. "Why didn't you wake me?" she asked.She opened the car door. "Thank you for driving me back."As she picked up her bag to head home, she noticed Colin was also getting out of the car.Eranthe halted her steps. "Are you planning to come to my house?"Colin admitted nonchalantly, "Yes."Eranthe was incredulous. "Mr. Rodriguez, don't play dumb. Wasn't I clear enough?"Colin replied, "Shouldn't a pursuer safely escort you to the doorst

Alexis wasn't under Mr. Hill Vice President Hill's jurisdiction, so he didn't react much either.After the meeting dispersed, Eranthe clearly noticed several leaders looking displeased.Just as Mr. Hill Vice President Hill was giving Eranthe instructions about which projects to prioritize next, Eranthe was taking notes with her pen when she saw the hotel manager rushing over to a group of leaders."What's going on?" Eranthe watched as the leaders headed towards the coffee shop, and shortly after, police cars arrived.It seemed they were trying to contain the situation and were ordered to return to the city promptly.Eranthe had already checked out and didn't want to get involved in others' affairs. She hoped to catch a ride with Mr. Hill Vice President Hill, but then she saw him being called away as well."Forget about it, let's all go back," Eranthe muttered to herself as she turned around, but then Colin's phone call came through.S

"Okay, if you really end up with Eranthe, I'll learn from you.""Does Oriel really want to be with you? Just flattering yourself," Colin, in a bad mood, retorted sharply.Frank sighed, "Ah, men without a sex life are truly terrifying."Colin ignored him.From behind the water feature, voices could be heard.Although not loud, with few guests around, the conversation was clear."That woman is really pretty, almost like those female celebrities on TV.""Were you trained with her before? Do you know what she's like? Is she easy to get? With looks like hers, she must have plenty of suitors.""I heard she has some connection with that Miller family whose son, Eric Miller, dated her for a few months. They've probably split up now, and there are quite a few guys chasing her in the company.""I think with a woman like her, you could win her over with a bit of money. Just a few dates and you could sleep with her.""Alexis,
