Chapter 165: It seems like following Eranthe has made you all busier
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ana 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

Colin smiled, "Oh?""Show me. Let me see if the angles are detailed enough."Eranthe thought, how can this guy be so shameless?She slammed the car door shut and walked upstairs in high heels."Take it slow, don't fall," Colin advised.Eranthe stared at him, "Are you going to shower or not?"The camera suddenly shook, and Colin casually said, "Hmm, do you want to see? How much I miss you?"Eranthe was overwhelmed with strange images. "You're a pervert. Don't pull this on me!"Before she could finish, Colin innocently looked at her. "The phone just slipped. What were you thinking?"Eranthe bit her lip, thinking, I want you to eat shit!She entered the elevator. "I'm hanging up.""Bad signal.""Stop lying." Colin calmly said, "Baby, I've tested the signal in your elevator. It's good, no interference."Eranthe rolled her eyes. She swiped away his camera, feeling much more comfortable. When she re

Minako tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Congratulations, you've found the woman you wanted. But you did say before that there was someone unforgettable. Are you not regretful now?"This time, Colin genuinely expressed satisfaction from the depths of his heart. "She is the one."Minako was taken aback.But Colin didn't continue to explain. After reviewing the proposal, he said, "Sorry, despite your sincere efforts, Rodriguez Group won't easily change partners. I apologize."Minako took a deep breath, "Is it because you want to reject me that you're rejecting Ioli Group?"Colin leaned back in his chair, "No, personal feelings won't interfere with work. The above is my true opinion. It's getting late; I'll have my assistant escort you down. Be careful on your way home."He extended his hand, and Minako, somewhat reluctantly, stood up and shook hands. "If there's a wedding, I look forward to meeting her."Colin didn't respond until Min
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 170: Can you tone it down a bit?
Eranthe had long been accustomed to facing life's challenges alone. She understood early on that in this world, people come alone and leave alone. Both temporary and lifelong companionship were extremely challenging.However, being with Colin felt like regardless of the circumstances, they were like two perfectly fitting buttons, securely snapped together without leaving any gaps.The movie continued at a leisurely pace, and time slowly passed.Suddenly, Eranthe spoke, "If the female lead didn't die, and they returned to the initial past, would the ending be more fulfilling?"Colin's voice echoed from the other end, "No one can grasp the present light and shadow perfectly, being able to live in the moment without regrets is already not easy. As Emma said, what happens tomorrow doesn't matter; what's important is that we have today. So, seize today."It was a typically Colin-esque response. He always seemed capable of choosing the answer and approac

On the other end, seeing the photo, Colin was speechless at Frank.[Is this your idea of making her happy?]Frank, still on his yacht, groggily opened his eyes, disturbed by a message from Colin. Rubbing his eyes, he looked at the photo and replied, "What's wrong with a bunch of flowers?"Opening his social media, he saw that many girls took pictures like this. The ones he tried to impress with smaller bouquets weren't even interested.Colin was speechless.Frank teased, "My sister Eranthe doesn't like it?""Who said she's your sister? Shameless."Frank burst into laughter. Why was this guy suddenly so ruthless early in the morning? He put some effort into these roses. He hadn't even put this much effort into the girl he was interested in, if it weren't for Eranthe being Oriel's friend...Thinking of Oriel, Frank couldn't help but grit his teeth.Since the camping trip, he hadn't seen her. He had to watch her VLOGs on he
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 172: It would be a win-win situation
These people, who did nothing productive, talked as if Eranthe's recent efforts were handed to her by the wind. The two female colleagues, teased by Ines, stood awkwardly in place, still wanting to leave."Did I tell you to leave?" Ines asked directly.With that, she took out her makeup bag from her purse, leisurely touched up her makeup, and, at the same time, looked at the person in the mirror, saying, "If you ask me, she deserves to be good-looking and has a future. She's more beautiful than you, and she's more willing to work hard. If she doesn't get rich and isn't pursued, does it have to be your turn, you two gossipers? Rich people have seen many good things; their taste isn't this low."The faces of the two women turned red."Miss. Torres, we didn't say anything about you. Do you have to be so harsh in your words?"Clearly, they had not been beaten by society; their words carried a sense of innocence."Click!" Ines closed the lipstick

Moreover, Eranthe wouldn't need to handle these collaborations personally. Vice President Hill and the decision-makers above could handle the negotiations, but the credit would be attributed to Eranthe."What? You won't even give face to this?" Ines teased."Of course not. I'll go handle the work first," Eranthe replied without refusal.Watching her, Ines increasingly felt that Eranthe, independent of Colin, was gradually climbing the corporate ladder and earning recognition from higher-ups. She demonstrated a sense of balance, boundaries, and discretion.Ines chose a high-end luxury shopping area for their spree. She even carried a bunch of flowers, thinking that Eranthe's office couldn't accommodate them, so she might as well take a few for herself. It was a small gain from Colin's favor.Eranthe's outing was mainly to accompany Ines and her friends. Clearly, these ladies were regular customers, and the salesperson was astonished when they entere

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
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,
