Chapter 137: The term 'long term' is used to deceive people
Huling Na-update:
2024-10-29 19:42:56He 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

But the hurtful words were spoken by him.If he had treated herself as an object in their usual interactions, she wouldn't be here now, listening to him say these things.Her mind was a mess right now; all she wanted was to get away from him.Without a word, Eranthe picked up her laptop and started to leave."If you dare to walk out of this room, I can't guarantee that I won't do something."Eranthe's footsteps halted. "This is what you call reluctant?""I'm reluctant to lose you. Any problem with that? Moreover, since you don't appreciate it, this business deal has no investment value. Shouldn't I withdraw?" Colin said.Eranthe bit her lip. She really wanted to leave, but what about Urania?"Are you threatening me?""I wouldn't have to if you cooperated."Eranthe was furious and threw everything on the floor."Aren't you just trying to sleep with me? Why beat around the bush?" she said, starting to unbutto

However, she never expected that Colin, who played as if he knew the game inside out."Why are you looking at me like that?"Eranthe widened her eyes. "You play games too?"Colin raised an eyebrow. "Am I that old now? Don't I have my own hobbies?"There was a time when he was quite obsessed with these games. Knowing he wouldn't have time to play in the future, he spent time extravagantly, playing crazily. However, it had been a long time since he touched them.Eranthe was dumbfounded. "You really don't look like it."Colin chuckled. "Do you know the most popular games on the market?"Eranthe nodded. "From a foreign company.""Yes, mine.""Eh? What about this one?""Also mine. The outside world knows it's acquired by a subsidiary of the Rodriguez Group, but that's just for the convenience of my management."Eranthe was surprised, forgetting to be angry with him. However, Colin quickly finished the boss battl

"You voluntarily talked to Uncle King.""And what about Matthew?"Well, the debt doubles.Eranthe stared at the capitalist, "You're quite the businessperson. According to your calculations, everything happens without my knowledge, and I'm left with the debt?""Well, of course. I'm a heartless capitalist. Why wouldn't I exploit you? I'm not a good person in your eyes," Colin coldly spoke words of frustration.But Eranthe knew he wasn't like Dylan.She was now a bit conflicted. If he threatened her, she genuinely didn't know what to do. However, he was currently speaking in a low tone, making it impossible for her to even utter a simple "get lost."She was tightly under his control."I promise, what happened that night won't occur again. Besides, I won't let you feel uncomfortable," Colin assured."You've already made me uncomfortable," Eranthe replied.Colin leaned back in his chair, "Are you talking
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 141: Are you trying to please me?
Eranthe was not particularly close to anyone in the company, except Acacia. Initially, she attracted attention because of her looks, and many male colleagues pursued her. This led to gossip among female colleagues, but eventually, they realized that Eranthe treated everyone the same way. She didn't flirt or use charm to achieve her goals, which eased tensions.Selena smiled, "Some people may not like her, but she and I have no conflicts of interest. Besides, people are strange. They only envy those who are similar to them. If someone is too different, they can only admire. I used to think she had plastic surgery on her face, but I can't see any signs. She's naturally beautiful. I even suspected that Hephaestus, the god of creation, made her as his masterpiece."Ana's words held a deeper meaning, "Well, some people are indeed lucky. Surely, they'll have great fortunes in the future."Selena was once again surprised because Ana, being of Korean descent with Britis
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 142: Have you ever thought about why?
When she thought of how she let him manipulate her, pulled into his rhythm, she couldn't help but blush.When Colin returned, he saw her looking in the mirror. He embraced her from behind, kissing her earlobe, "I ordered what you like. Will you stay with me tonight?"Eranthe sighed, "You're so difficult."Every time, she had to break her own principles for him, and he always had to stick around until she agreed.As soon as Colin heard her say this, he knew she had agreed. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.The doorbell rang, and Eranthe nudged him aside."Go answer the door."She didn't want to face anyone like this.Colin couldn't let the staff open the door themselves. He walked through the living room to the entrance. When he opened the door, his face darkened.It wasn't room service at the door but a woman.A spaghetti strap dress hugged her sexy and curvaceous figure. Seeing Colin open the do
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 143: You can tell that too?
Avoiding his touch slightly, Eranthe said cautiously, "Why?""Because my hormones chose you. I desire you, so I am willing to be enticed by you. Is this simple logic clear, or do I need to explain it to you?"Eranthe's heart skipped a beat."Eranthe, you always avoid my questions. Do you not believe in your own charm, or do you think I'm just trying to please you?"Colin gathered his hand and pulled her back, making her face him. "In fact, I'm not lacking in women who boldly volunteer themselves. I encounter situations like what happened earlier every year in various places. But I've only taken your bait."Eranthe's pupils dilated, "Only me?"Colin lightly kissed the corner of her lips and whispered, "Yes, only you."His deep gaze reflected in her eyes. "What are you thinking?"Eranthe placed her hands on his chest. "You're quite good at flirting, I thought...""Thought I was experienced?" Colin chuckled. "I'm not that i

"I can't get him, so I have to settle for second best," Selena explained.And she joked, then asked, "Usually, you look cool and composed. I didn't expect you to blush. Hey, have you ever encountered someone exceptionally skilled, someone who rocked your world?"Selena continued, "I've shared everything with you. You can't keep secrets."Eranthe bit her lip and nodded, "Yes, I have. It was indeed quite satisfying."Selena teased, "Alright, sister, next time when you get tired of playing, we can share resources. I don't mind."As Selena boarded the car and returned to their department's seating area, she continued chatting animatedly.Once on the car, Ana had saved a seat for her. Eranthe, however, didn't want to see her at the moment. Surprisingly, Ana greeted her, "Eranthe, come sit here."Eranthe took a deep breath and sat down, her indifferent attitude quite evident.Ana smiled and said, "Actually, if you have a relationship
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 145: I'll come pick you up
Eranthe briefly shared that day's events with Acacia.Hearing it, Acacia was astonished, "This is too disgusting. I used to respect her, and she's doing this behind the scenes?!""Let's not even talk about whether it's Colin or not. She uses you for favors whenever she can. Who does she think she is? If you flirt a bit with Colin, you'd have the Vice President position already. Yet, she has the nerve to give you a temporary role. She's not willing to let go of control. What a joke! Besides, you already had the qualifications and abilities.""We have a celebration banquet tonight. Just seeing her will ruin my appetite."Eranthe didn't want to go, but Vice President Hill specifically mentioned her in the company group, insisting that she must attend.Eranthe was feeling irritated. Meanwhile, Colin sent her a message, "What are you up to?"This was quite unusual; a busy person like him was actually asking her casually, "I'm packing up and getti

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

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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 258: You scared me earlier
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 257: I'm making you unable to think straight?
"..." 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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 256: It's already worth it
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 255: Making some extra cash
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 254: Why would I need a nutritionist?
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 252: You want to sleep with my woman?
"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,
