Chapter 228: Do you know that man?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 233: Slacking off?
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 235: I'll make arrangements
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

With a phone call, Morris had already taken them to the top-tier private styling team studio on the top floor. With time running short, Acacia was ushered into the dressing room, where various haute couture dresses were presented for her to choose from. "No, no, no, I can't afford this, Mr. Hall!" Acacia protested weakly. Morris maintained an official smile. "You're Miss Eranthe's friend. There's no need for you to spend. Mr. Rodriguez has provided this as a small token of appreciation. Thank you for your care of Miss Eranthe in the company. Rest assured, I will take full responsibility for the rest of the arrangements." Eranthe wasn't surprised that Colin would do this. But earlier? Did she see Colin wearing a scarf? And was their daughter Elsa being carried by his male secretary? "Does Colin usually inspect the mall?" Eranthe asked curiously. Morris smiled brightly and replied tactfully, "No, but since today's appearance is different, he had to make sure everyone saw it." Morr

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,
