"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
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
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
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
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
The heavens were truly kind to her, gifting her with such a naturally beautiful appearance, making her life simpler than that of ordinary people."It seems like you didn't take my warning to heart that day.""Warning?" Ana retorted, unwilling to show weakness."How about it? Do you think I don't have this ability? Or perhaps you believe that I have some charm, enough for Colin to notice, and it's my good fortune. I should use this time to leverage all the resources and means at my disposal, find a way to gain something, after all, I might fall out of favor soon. And you, using me as a stepping stone, smoothly passed through your career transition. This move is so perfect, seamless, like a pie falling from the sky, a deliberate assistance for your successful plan."Seeing Ana's expression, Eranthe knew she had hit the mark."So, you couldn't wait to tell Vice President Hill, the one behind the scenes, about this news, hoping that he would also make
"I've dropped her off before, right, Eranthe?" Justin asked.He deliberately spoke ambiguously, considering Eranthe's recent promotion and the fact that the leaders have high expectations for her. Her future looks bright, and she has an attractive figure and looks. She's practically the best choice within their range of potential partners.Although Eranthe had been with Dylan before, what did that matter? Based solely on looks, it was enough to make people infatuated. The male colleagues had similar thoughts, and Justin naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to establish a connection.However, Eranthe waved her hand, "Someone is picking me up."Ana was somewhat surprised, and right at that moment, her husband had arrived. Before leaving, Ana also scanned the parking lot.ASSYRIA was filled with luxury cars, and it was really hard to tell anything."What are you looking at?""I'm wondering if Colin will come.""What?" Ana's h
"Aren't you craving ice cream?" Colin pointed to a convenience store ahead. "I'll buy you whatever you want, okay?"Eranthe sniffed. "I want honeydew flavor, in a cone, with a chocolate piece at the bottom, that one tastes the best.""Alright." Colin grabbed her. "If you're going to throw up, I won't buy it for you.""Why are you like this!" Eranthe stomped her foot but involuntarily followed him.With a flushed face, she went straight into the convenience store without waiting for Colin.Colin rubbed his forehead. He saw her standing in front of the freezer, staring at the ice cream."Which one do you want?"Colin didn't eat these, so naturally, he couldn't recognize what she wanted.Eranthe pointed with her finger, "This one, and this one, I want them all.""You can only choose one." Eating so much, can her stomach handle it?"You're so stingy!" Eranthe couldn't believe someone wouldn't even buy ice cream!
