Chapter 220: Can this matter be resolved satisfactorily?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Eranthe looked at the somewhat dazed Oriel and asked, "What exactly happened?"
It was only then that Oriel had a moment to take out her phone and check. Her Instagram was inundated with messages that kept popping up incessantly.
Many of Rose's fans were sending her abusive messages, along with derogatory comments about her deceased parents and accusing her of being a home-wrecker.
Oriel was shaking with anger, and Eranthe noticed. She immediately turned off her phone and said, "Don't be afraid, we're all here for you!"
Oriel clenched her lips. She wouldn't let this matter go easily. She was determined to sue Rose and the group of fans who cursed her parents.
Colin was the last to board the car. He instructed Morris to drive to Oriel's home first. On the way, Morris briefed them on what had happened.
Colin poured a glass of water for Oriel from the car's mini fridge. "Frank asked me to take good care of you. Drink some water and calm down. We

The only stain was her involvement with Frank, but now Frank was single, and lately, he hadn't even been surrounded by any women.Following him into the elevator and then into the car, Morris and the driver had already left. Colin drove towards Sharon No. 3, and the good mood Eranthe had from returning home had dissipated somewhat due to the recent commotion.Once in the car, she completely ignored him and checked her phone, filled with messages from Acacia. Apparently, while they were on the plane, Acacia had stumbled upon some gossip about her best friend and was now ranting about it.After soothing her for a bit and telling her they would discuss it tomorrow at the office, Acacia sent an OK gesture. Eranthe then opened Weibo and saw the internet flooded with news of Rose bullying teammates and being financially supported by Wilson's executives. It even had solid evidence, including flirtatious chat records."Rose's sponsor is an executive at Wilson's?"

"If you're bored at home, I'll have your brother send you to Texas for a development project."Eranthe's body tensed, and Colin hung up without waiting for the person on the other end to respond.-Exhausted, Eranthe rolled up the blanket and asked, "Who called you just now?"She rarely asked such questions, but just now, she felt like she heard Rose's name.Colin took the hairdryer and prepared to help her dry her hair, saying, "It's a distant relative from Frank's family. That woman begged him, probably because she got rejected by Frank and came to him for help."Eranthe sighed, "She's quite resourceful.""So, it seems like Frank has offended quite a few people?" Colin raised an eyebrow. "A man who can't even protect the woman he likes, what's the point?"In other words, if Frank couldn't even protect a mere actress, what was the purpose of him having an entertainment company? Did he need so much power and influence just to l

But did she find it annoying?It was much easier to accept than when Dylan suggested they live together.However, this time, Eranthe insisted on not taking his car. She wanted to drive to the company herself because she had several places to go today, including visiting the exhibition and meeting with the clients recommended by Ines before going to Japan.Eranthe got into her small car and waved to Colin from a distance. "See you later."Colin stood far away. "I prefer 'goodnight.'"Only then did Eranthe realize. Did he want her to be by his side every night to say goodnight to him?As she drove forward, she received a voice call from Oriel, Acacia, and the others.Oriel was officially reporting their achievements to the two leaders.In short, everything was fine, and everyone didn't need to worry too much.Acacia had just left the house and was waiting for the subway. Eranthe asked her to slow down, as she was almost at

As long as they didn't hinder the work, it was okay if they occasionally slacked off.People like Galina, who used their connections to elevate themselves to small leadership positions, were much more irritating.Acacia, with some files in hand, entered, relieved to see Eranthe there. "You're finally back. So, how was Japan? Did you buy anything?""I've brought your things. They're in the bag. You can check if anything's missing," Eranthe replied absentmindedly while looking at the documents on her computer."Why was this expense report from the finance department rejected?" Eranthe asked."The finance department said our administrative department's offerings were too complex this time, and the budget for the marketing department's plan didn't cover it all. They said we exceeded the budget and need to cut costs," Acacia explained."Did you tell them that the excess budget was approved by Vice President Hill?"After all, Ines' constant

"I'm worried you'll just drag it out like this. In the end, you won't even have a choice."At that moment, Eranthe knocked on the door and entered. After exchanging pleasantries, she presented several proposals for jewelry and art exhibitions.Laura had her own ideas about the exhibition, but Eranthe tactfully offered suggestions, and Laura decided to sign the contract immediately.It wasn't about giving face to the younger generation but rather feeling impressed by Eranthe's sincerity and ideas.Laura got into Matthew's car after coming out of Ashly.Laura reflected, "I remember seeing this girl somewhere."Matthew was surprised, "You shouldn't have seen her."Laura remembered, "Ah, it was when Doll was hospitalized, right? She's Scarlett's sister, Scarlett."Laura frowned, "The two sisters don't look alike."Matthew looked slightly puzzled, "How do you remember that?""Scarlett made a deep impression on me. If h
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 226: Kamilia
Now, she admired Eranthe even more. She must have a strong heart to endure all this."Pack a lunch exactly the same and send it to this address."Colin tore off a piece of white paper from the table, wrote down an address with a pen, and placed it on the table.Amanda nodded, took the address, which was not far away, took note of the dishes on Colin's lunch box, and immediately left.She thought as long as she could handle things properly, she might still be able to stay in the CEO's office.Colin then sent a message to Eranthe, "Wait."Eranthe raised an eyebrow, "You're not really coming, are you? Aren't you busy?"Indeed, Colin was busy. Just after sending the message, Morris came in, saying he had just used the restroom and that a meeting was about to be held.Colin hadn't finished his meal, but he stood up and said, "Let's go."Morris had also been busy all morning and had barely had any water.Meanwhile, Aman
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 227: What's going on?
"What are you doing here?"Since the incident at the mall, she hadn't mentioned Eranthe's name at the class reunion, fearing another encounter. Now, they had bumped into each other again after hearing her arguing with Jesse.Eranthe was equally exasperated. Who would want to run into them?Jesse seemed surprised too. Eranthe replied impatiently, "I'm an employee of Ashly. It's not strange for me to be here."Kamilia choked back a retort. Since their relationship was already strained, there was nothing to hold back. "So being an employee gives you the right to eavesdrop on clients' conversations?"To be honest, in a work setting, Eranthe naturally wouldn't initiate conflict with Kamilia and her group."Excuse me, Miss. Hard, this corridor you're in is a public area. I'm waiting for my client to touch up her makeup, so I'm staying here. It doesn't align with what you're accusing me of, eavesdropping.""Are you denying it?" Kamilia sneer
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 228: Do you know that man?
"And this employee of yours was eavesdropping. Do I have to demand an apology from her for crossing the line?"Ashly had its own team of collaborators, and they were all familiar with Eranthe. Moreover, Eranthe was responsible for the work, and they would always check the drawings before construction to avoid mistakes and delays.Hearing Kamilia's incessant complaints, several workers who had passed by while carrying things spoke up."Why are you discussing secrets in the corridor? Your voice is so loud that only a deaf person wouldn't hear it."Those workers were not Ashly employees; they were just partners, and they had nothing to fear.Kamilia widened her eyes. "Who are you? Did I speak to you?"People around started whispering, thinking that Kamilia was really sharp-tongued, making a big deal out of nothing. They felt like she was overestimating herself.Acacia was speechless. She regretted taking on this job. Discussing secrets i

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
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

"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,
