"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
"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
Jesse naturally noticed her, as she was someone he had once flirted with online. He wasn't stupid enough to initiate a greeting.Kamilia, on the other hand, recognized her as the one who had been standing next to Eranthe. She looked at her with suspicion.Amanda suddenly pretended to realize something. "Jesse? It's you, right? I thought you looked familiar just now, but couldn't place it."Seeing Amanda take the initiative, Jesse greeted her with a smile. "Yes, it's me. What a coincidence? Are you in charge of the Rodriguez's business event?"It seemed this guy wasn't completely off the grid. Amanda certainly wasn't in charge, but she was willing to let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.She replied with a tone of confidence, "You're quite well-informed."Kamilia wasn't foolish either. Hearing the name Rodriguez, she immediately perked up. She moved closer, still holding Jesse's hand tightly, indicating her territorial claim."
"That seems to be Mr. Scott.""Why are you so concerned about him?" Colin raised an eyebrow. "Do you remember all the cars I have?"Eranthe: ...This jealousy was completely unreasonable."Come on, with all your cars, I need to remember them all," Eranthe retorted."You can pick any you like and take it out for a spin. Otherwise, they'll just gather dust sitting there," Colin replied.Colin mainly used the company's executive car when he went out. His personal time was limited."I don't even know how to open the car door, let alone drive," Eranthe muttered.Raising an eyebrow, Colin leaned in. "Then pick a day, and I'll teach you."Eranthe looked at him. "Are you good at driving? I've heard Frank loves to race."A smile played on Colin's lips. "With you in the car, safety comes first. Besides, at my age, I've outgrown the need to show off. Even Frank has stopped risking his life in races.""In that case, sh
At the door, Colin instructed Chole, who was waiting outside, to accompany Eranthe. His tone was slightly stern, "There won't be a third chance."Chole held her breath. "Yes, Mr. Rodriguez."Eranthe pinched him, and Colin squeezed her hand. "If I come back late, you go to bed first.""I know."Colin got into the car and left directly.Chole's complexion didn't look good.Eranthe said, "He seems pretty strict, huh?"Chole didn't dare to speak ill of Colin, but she was generally not very talkative.Eranthe couldn't quite understand Chole's train of thought, but she knew she was hired by a security company.After a while, just when Eranthe thought Chole wouldn't answer, she heard her speak, "Mr. Rodriguez doesn't tolerate idle people. I didn't pay attention before, and Miss. Taylor encountered danger. Being able to stay with me is already a special favor."Eranthe probably couldn't understand her mindset. It's just a
He exuded an air of seniority.Frank: ?Harold: ?Matthew: ?...Everyone was momentarily speechless, not knowing what this man was up to. Was he trying to imply he was at a woman's place? Just by looking at the background and the teddy bear on the couch, it was evident that it definitely wasn't his territory.Shameless. The illustrious CEO of the Rodriguez family, living off someone else, eating off someone else, sleeping at someone else's place.Thankfully, Ines was tactful and immediately followed up with some flattery, praising Eranthe's good taste.Colin, feeling satisfied with himself, transferred some money.But really, wasn't the limit of this app a bit too small? Just this much and it was already exceeded.After flaunting enough, Colin finally hung up the scarf satisfactorily, then casually took off his clothes.Seeing Elsa still rolling around in the bag, Colin picked her up and noticed a lunch bo
Meanwhile, Colin was still looking at himself in the mirror, wondering how to show off the scarf so that everyone could see it.Colin dawdled, making Morris suspect that the CEO had encountered something upstairs.Fortunately, Colin finally appeared, but this time? He actually brought a cat bag with him."Are you taking the kitten to the company today?" Morris asked."Yes." Colin got into the car and looked at Morris.Morris put the cat bag next to Colin's feet and found the man staring intently at him.Morris's heart skipped a beat. "Mr. Rodriguez, is everything all right?" Did he do something wrong today?Colin frowned unhappily.Didn't he see through it?Morris was already sweating coldly on his forehead. The last time Colin looked at him like this was when he had just joined the company, back then, there was a small error in a document.Almost ruined his own career.Morris had already imagined all sorts
"The client called to complain. Jennifer, what do you have to say?" Vice President Hill took a sip of coffee and waited for her response.Jennifer adjusted her glasses and replied, "I was following the company's regulations, and the details in question would have been passed on to me by my subordinates according to the company's procedures."Vice President Hill turned to Eranthe. "And what about you? Did you review the details that the finance department rejected?""Vice President Hill, I sent an email to Director O’Halloran last night. Supervisor Joe should have seen it already. I was hoping to discuss it privately with her, but she ignored me."Jennifer frowned, thinking to herself that Ana really was a schemer who had been promoted.She wanted to assert her authority, but instead, she had failed to mention that today was the deadline for payment. The material supplier didn't understand and directly contacted the client!Otherwise, w
Initially, everyone wrote emails with the intention of praising the company, as apart from the heavy workload, the other benefits provided by the Rodriguez's were indeed leading the industry.But when Colin handed the matter over to Morris, they realized it wasn't a deception; they were genuinely encouraged to speak their minds.Since it was anonymous and no one would be held accountable, some people began to speak out boldly.As it approached the end of the workday, Colin received feedback from Morris, revealing that male colleagues were using the nursing room to smoke."Has this been happening for a while? And what's this about nursing mothers facing workplace discrimination?" Colin tossed the papers onto his desk.Morris replied, "Some male colleagues believe there are few nursing mothers in the company, and most of the time, no one is using the room. Since the smoking area is too far away, they choose to smoke here. They'll open the windows for
