...
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
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

While everyone was still in shock, they almost forgot to record the looks on their faces. Gabriel saw her fluctuating emotions and raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong, not happy?" "No, no, it's just that I regret not reacting sooner and not performing well." "Is he belittling you?" Gabriel asked as he led her to a seat, completely ignoring the looks they were getting. "Yeah, saying I'm not ambitious enough, that my family background is poor, and that I don't share his values. He likes someone like Nancy," Acacia sighed. Gabriel patted her arm, deliberately avoiding her skin. Acacia looked up and saw his clear eyes filled with a smile. "Feeling inferior because of rubbish he said? Does he lack the ability to excel on his own and blame others for dragging him down? Just looking for a perfect excuse to eat his cake and have it too." "Perhaps some men can't give their beloved women everything for a while, but that's no reason to blame their own incompetence on others." "So, Miss White,
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 238: They are beautiful memories
The gentleman just now was definitely not someone this woman could compare to. She acted like she knew everything but actually knew nothing.As Kamilia arrogantly dragged Paula away, the cashier at the adjacent counter muttered, "That girl is quite peculiar.""Yeah, no kidding. Working part-time like this, you see all kinds of characters."-"Acacia, is your boyfriend really Lawyer Mitchell?"Acacia, feeling embarrassed and guilty, nodded awkwardly.Sitting with her college classmates, all of whom had witnessed Acacia's previous relationship with Kerwin, receiving a wedding invitation from Nancy instead came as a surprise.Many had speculated whether Acacia had dumped Kerwin to climb the social ladder.These whispers reached Nancy's ears, who was seething in the dressing room as she prepared to change into her wedding gown. "That bitch, I knew she had ulterior motives. How did she manage to snag Gabriel? Couldn't she have set her sights on someone else?"Isn't this blatantly coming to

"So, what happened next? How did you two get together?" In reality, everyone assumed that Acacia must have pursued Gabriel."Then..." Gabriel's voice lingered in the air, and everyone leaned in to listen."And then I boldly pursued her, and fortunately, Acacia didn't reject me." Gabriel reached for Acacia's hand, sealing the act."That's amazing! Acacia, I envy you!" The female classmates each sent their blessings.Acacia felt her scalp tighten as her classmates showered her with congratulations."Lawyer Mitchell, is this necessary? This is going to be hard to handle," she whispered.Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "Will it, though?""Of course, if everyone knew, how could I find a partner?"Gabriel: ..."This bouquet, I intend to give it to my good friend! Acacia!"Suddenly.The whole room fell silent, and the spotlight followed Nancy's command, landing on Acacia. She was puzzled, not knowing what was happening, while the people around started cheering.It turned out that Nancy wanted to

However, once in the same school, it still felt strange to Eranthe. The second photo was also a class picture, but unfortunately, Colin wasn't in it.By the fourth or fifth photo, a series of basketball court match images came into view.A teenager dressed in a white jersey, with a sports headband wrapped around his head and matching wristbands on his wrists. Sweat trickled down his body, highlighting the contours of his muscles. He lifted a corner of his basketball jersey to wipe away the sweat, revealing his toned abdomen and narrow waist, all captured by the camera lens.At that time, he hadn't yet started wearing glasses, his jet-black hair cropped short. With a casual glance towards the camera, he unknowingly captured the essence of youthful exuberance.Hot-blooded, youthful, and brimming with hormonal vigor—an underage Colin.Eranthe's gaze lingered on this photo for a long time, still unable to comprehend why she hadn't heard anyone mention him back in school.As she scrolled d

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,
