Chapter 145: I'll come pick you up
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Eranthe 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!

Instead, she quietly followed him like a well-behaved child.But Colin knew she must be drunk; otherwise, she wouldn't be so emotionally exposed. Even if she was provoked by him, she had never been so hysterical before.Upon entering the room, she stood there, and Colin crouched down to help her take off her high heels. Eranthe stared at the top of his head in silence."I didn't lie to you; I didn't exaggerate. They are really bad.""People can truly be this malicious.""These hands of mine were supposed to play the violin. I shouldn't have learned to fight with them.""But if I don't protect myself, no one will protect me." She choked up as she spoke.Colin stiffened, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He carried her to the bathroom and gave her a bath, washed her hair, and even removed her makeup. He took it step by step, very delicately.But Eranthe's words didn't stop.She spoke about how sad she was when her fa

Morris stepped back, frowning. "Stay away."Scarlett, easily provoked, decided to act out. "What's wrong, don't like me? Then why are you here? Want to enjoy the show for Eranthe?"Morris stared at her expressionlessly. "You are one of the most foolish people I've ever seen. I wouldn't be interested in how you associate with those hoodlums. But when it comes to Miss Taylor, you are seriously affecting my life."If she messed with Eranthe, Colin would get upset. If Colin got upset, then Morris wouldn't have a good night's sleep. All things considered, Eranthe was someone Morris couldn't touch.Scarlett sneered, "Have you slept with Eranthe a few times? Can't bear to part with her so much?"Morris frowned. "Watch your mouth. There are some things I wouldn't bother telling someone like you."Scarlett, furious, directly splashed the water from the table towards Morris. He slightly moved to the side to avoid it, but his suit jacket still got a li

Seeing her so spirited, Colin leaned against the head of the bed and didn't say anything. He really hadn't slept well; she had talked in her sleep a lot during the night. Also, he needed an extremely quiet environment to fall asleep, and now his mind was foggy."Getting up so early to make breakfast for me?"Eranthe said with a bit of irritation, "There are only a few eggs in the fridge. Eat them if you want.""That works. I think you still have some whole wheat bread left," he said. He was well aware of her daily routines, and for the sake of convenience, she often grabbed something on the way to work.For breakfast, she preferred something simple and straightforward.Eranthe thought about how she could prepare him a lavish breakfast at home while here he was settling for a poached egg. There was a feeling akin to a prince visiting the civilian households.She went straight to the bathroom. "You should get up too. I need to go to the office
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 152: Mr. Jones personally welcoming her?
Colin smiled brilliantly and warmly.He left the neighbor dumbfounded, "Young man, you're too good-looking."Compliments about his appearance were the most common he heard throughout his life.Once the neighbor went off with her grandson, Eranthe muttered, "How can you deceive people like that, talking about sending wedding candy when you're not planning to marry?""Should I tell her I don't get married?" Colin didn't see any problem with his answer, casually pulling Eranthe forward."Is your driver here?" Eranthe didn't continue the previous topic."Yeah," Colin replied, and Eranthe saw the Bentley parked at the entrance of the residential area.After getting into the car, Morris turned around to greet them, "Mr. Rodriguez, Miss. Taylor, good morning.""Good morning, Mr. Jones," Eranthe responded. Her mood today was relatively good, perhaps because she had shed a good cry last night and had managed to adjust herself.In

"What's up? I'm almost late for work. Is there something urgent?"Amanda was dressed in a new luxury outfit, even her accessories were from a prestigious brand.Unfortunately, the front desk employees were not in the mood to compliment her today. They inquired, "Mr. Jones will personally welcome someone today."Amanda frowned, "He didn't tell me anything. What's going on?""The CEO's office just called us. They said an employee from Ashly Group is coming, and Mr. Jones will personally receive them later."Amanda was puzzled and looked towards the reception room.Eranthe was sitting upright. When Amanda saw her, she furrowed her brows. Wasn't this the woman she saw in Mr. Rodriguez's room that day? She thought she was Mr. Rodriguez's girlfriend, but now it seems she's from Ashly Group? How did she end up handling the Chamber of Commerce activities?Amanda was disgusted by the thought of someone resorting to unethical means.Aman

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
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 253: It seems like they angered some big shot
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,
