Chapter 159: She is prying into Colin's past
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56She took a sharp breath because she never thought Colin would be an artist, especially considering her own appreciation level; it didn't match him at all.
The colors in the paintings were vivid and rich. They say that painting can represent a person's true thoughts, and Colin, such a person, unexpectedly had an interior full of vibrant colors, like a volcanic eruption.
Colin casually said, "I occasionally paint when I'm annoyed." It was a habit he had retained since his youth and had not changed over the years.
Eranthe almost forgot that his background meant he couldn't be someone without talents. It wasn't just about academics; his other interests and hobbies were definitely under the guidance of renowned teachers.
"Do you like it?" Colin looked at her as she kept staring at one painting.
"I'm impressed. I never knew you could paint so well. If you didn't inherit Rodriguez Group, would you choose to be an artist?"
"I can't be an artist. I h

Colin nibbled on her ear.Eranthe was speechless. "How long have you known me, and you're already thinking about me every time?"Colin took the painting from her hand and lifted her up. "I'll try to be quick. It's lunch break anyway. In the afternoon, you can continue refining the proposals you submitted."Regardless of Eranthe's protests, Colin remained the same, smelling the fragrance on her neck, slow yet firm, occupying every inch of her...The indoor temperature was adjusted to the most comfortable setting.After covering her with a blanket, Colin turned off the alarm clock, changed into another suit, and when he opened the door, the lunch on the table had been cleared away, and the office was filled with fresh air.Morris, seemingly oblivious to everything, handed him some documents."Notify everyone that the meeting will start in 5 minutes, and instruct them not to disturb her in the office.""Understood, Mr. Rodriguez."

Her own job was in a mess.Amanda didn't expect that she would come to apologize and be criticized for not having the ability before stepping down. Without saying a word, Amanda turned and left.Eranthe wasn't surprised; after all, such people were common in companies, especially in hotels where all sorts of extraordinary characters were encountered. Rich people who threw tantrums just to get a discount were not uncommon.However, with Amanda's interruption, Eranthe's thoughts had drifted far away.When Colin returned after the meeting, Eranthe was playing a game. She didn't even look up, relying on the familiarity between them to know it was him."Bringing you to the company, and you're just here to play games?" Colin took away her phone.Eranthe didn't play often, only when she needed some excitement to stay alert. She asked, "Are you done being busy?""Yeah." Colin directly took her laptop. "Have you revised it?""Yes." Eran

Just then, the dishes were served, and the daily menu was always different. Colin ordered Tom Yum soup, which Eranthe enjoyed."Now we have some time before the dishes arrive. Want to take a stroll?""Where to?""You can hear performances in the garden at night, and there are river lanterns."He extended his hand, leading her outside. Indeed, in the concealed garden, there was a ready-made stage on the stone bridge surrounding the lake. Actors performing traditional Thai Khon dance were on stage, and many people had come out to watch. Under the eaves, some people were embracing, and they all seemed to be influential figures from ASSYRIA.Colin led Eranthe to a secluded corner."This place is really beautiful," Eranthe said, poking at the river lanterns on the water with a stick."If you like it, I can take you to other places next time.""Can I release a river lantern too?"Colin snapped his fingers, and someone immediat

Christopher's boss was puzzled, "Is there a problem somewhere? Don't worry; I'll have someone check on it.""Alright." Christopher looked at the expensive dishes on the table.This meal, with the addition of wine, cost at least hundreds of thousands. If the contract didn't go through, it would be like pouring money down the drain.Ana, feeling uncomfortable, whispered to Christopher beside her, "Could it be Morris?""Him? Why would he do that? We haven't offended him."Christopher really didn't understand why Ana would think that. However, he didn't press further at the moment. After all, they had already ordered the meal; they had to finish it.When there was no one around, Christopher finally asked, "Shouldn't you explain this to me?"Ana wiped her mouth and fabricated a perfect explanation, embellishing the situation a bit. "Clearly, I helped her, and now she's turning her back on me. So, I'm worried she might have given Colin a ba

Colin pointed at one message, "This one is acceptable, but the rest have low feasibility. Rodriguez Group as a whole doesn't like these flashy setups. They can be novel, but not extravagant."Eranthe nodded, "You're giving me special advice again.""Well, is it not allowed?" Colin took her computer away. "You can sleep now."Eranthe watched as he took away the computer, and he pressed her down, and lifted Elsa, who was yawning at the edge of the bed, down from the bed.Puzzled, she asked, "Are you sleeping so early today?"Colin glanced at her, "With that question, I might think you're hinting at something.""So, your demands are so high," Colin said with a straight face.Eranthe rolled her eyes and simply rolled up in the blanket, "Let's sleep."Colin sighed, embraced her from behind, and a light, agile weight jumped at their feet; it was probably Elsa jumping back onto the bed.Eranthe felt a bit hot; Colin's body was

Ana observed Eranthe's actions and took a seat after entering. "How's the job going? Is everything okay?""It's fine. After all, I've learned a lot from following you. Dealing with troublesome matters, I've come up with my own methods.""Yeah, I remember when you first joined the company, a client was giving you a hard time, and you were standing there not knowing what to do." Ana took out a diamond bracelet from her bag. "A small token of apology from me."Eranthe looked at the bracelet and smiled when she lifted her head. "If your apology is sincere, I accept it, but the bracelet is unnecessary."Sometimes relationships are like that. Once you've been hurt, it's impossible to treat everything as if it never happened.Eranthe used to consider Ana a role model, but after the collapse of that guidance, she couldn't face the current Ana.To be an enemy, she wouldn't be afraid. Bribes and flattery only tarnished the image she once held of her l

Busy was good, better than being idle. After all, what they were earning wasn't a fixed salary; the year-end bonus and commissions were the real gains.While they complained with their mouths, their hearts were satisfied.Ana, sensing this, quickly smiled and said, "Right, Ana, we're heading up now. Let's have a meal together when you have time.""Absolutely, and when your baby is born, we'll definitely come to see you."Saying this, the group turned and walked toward the elevator, discussing client information as they went.Eva also wanted to leave, but Ana held her back. "How has it been at the company recently? Getting along with Eranthe okay? Has she been making things difficult for you? If so, you can tell me."Eva used to constantly badmouth Eranthe, and Ana desperately needed a breakthrough at the moment, and Eva was the perfect candidate.Hearing these words, Eva seemed a bit annoyed hearing this. Didn't she used to love heari

Considering it was only 9 p.m. on his side, she assumed he might still be available. While picking up her bag, she sent him a message."Just finished work, how about you?"Locking the office door and turning off the lights, she received a quick response from Colin. This time, it was a video call.Eranthe didn't pay attention and directly pressed the green answer button.It wasn't until she saw the myriad lights behind him that she realized it was a video call."Hey, what's with that dull look?"While working overtime, Eranthe had her hair pinned up with a claw clip, and she wore glasses on her face, adopting an expression that seemed a bit bewildered.Suddenly, she noticed Colin.Colin appeared as if he had applied a filter to his video, contrasting sharply with Eranthe's unfiltered, tired appearance. Annoyed, she flipped the camera to show him the office floor."Enough, I won't tease you. Let me see." Colin's voice echo

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

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,
