"Yes, Mr. Rodriguez."He looked at his phone again, and by now, everything had calmed down on the other side. His face inexplicably darkened, leaving the subordinate manager who was reporting a bit nervous.Eranthe had completely put him out of her mind because she had just noticed something more important."Ms. Jenny Brown is at Emir Beauty Center. I need to go there.""Her? Forget it. She previously said she wanted to borrow our venue for her birthday party and even mentioned that if it went well, her husband's annual meeting would be held at our hotel. In the end, she handed the deal over to Galina. Remember how Galina acted all high and mighty last year? Are you still going to see her?"Eranthe didn't have time to grab her bag. "When Ana asks, just answer like that. I'll go and confront Jenny. You'll find out later."Acacia was puzzled but could only nod.At Emir Beauty Center.When Eranthe entered, she also brought some snacks for the front desk staff."You haven't been here for
Eranthe shrugged. "Ms. Brown, if not you, there's still Ms. White, Ms. Black, or even Ms. Green. Someone will eventually refuse to endure this injustice."Jenny hadn't expected Eranthe to be capable of such things. "Did you arrange for someone to take those photos?""We work in the same department. Seeing each other frequently, it's wise to be cautious. You never know when you might need something like this." Eranthe answered candidly.Taking a deep breath, Jenny said, "You can leave."Eranthe didn't plan to stay longer. She figured that Jenny, as a client, would no longer have any contact with her in the future. However, it was worth it.As Eranthe took a few steps, Jenny suddenly spoke again, "If you were in my shoes, what would you do?"Eranthe tilted her head. "Dealing with women is boring. The key is how to deal with men. You know, without Galina, there will be other women. Take men's money. So, focus on dealing with scumbag men. Once and for all. It's much smarter than physicall
Colin, on the other hand, seemed to be angry with her. His eyes were cold and icy as he stared at her for quite a while."Alright, alright, staring at someone like this isn't very gentlemanly. She won't escape in a moment," Frank chuckled, trying to ease the situation. "Go change your clothes?"In places like this accessible only to VIP clients, even the clothes were custom-made by specific brands. Eranthe was about to mention that she didn't bring tennis attire when a waiter promptly brought in a set.Fiona had already headed to the lounge Frank had arranged. Eranthe stood there awkwardly, touching her forehead."Miss, this way, please," the waiter astutely opened a resting room for her.Eranthe nodded and took the clothes into the room. The space was larger than she had expected, more like a complete suite than a simple lounge. The bathroom even had frosted glass, and inside, there was a large bed. The balcony outside overlooked the landmark buildings of Assyria City.As Eranthe ope
Colin directly retorted through the door, "Get lost.""Alright, your wish is my command." Frank laughed heartily, and his voice gradually faded away.After being disrupted by him, neither of them had the mood.They had the server bring a suit of clothes that fit better, and Eranthe went to the bathroom to change, deliberately turning off the lights.Colin let out a sigh, "Is it too late to not let me see now?""There's nothing to see while changing clothes," Eranthe grumbled, quickly changing into a new outfit, still tying her hair when she came out."Why didn't you bring the hairpin I gave you?" Colin asked.Eranthe casually replied, "It looks expensive, and when would I have occasion to use it? Besides, didn't we agree on something?"Colin watched her in the dressing mirror as she tied her hair, revealing a smooth forehead. His hand reached over, sliding down her spine, and Eranthe twisted her waist.Colin's eyes held a smile, "Ticklish?""Just a little. I'm ready now. Let's go," Er
Eranthe:…?"I'll want to kiss you."She blushed and averted her gaze.Frank's phone rang, and he casually said, "Harold, did you break a leg last night? We've been waiting for you for almost an hour. What took you so long?"As he spoke, Harold had already arrived. "I picked up someone here."He finished speaking, and everyone looked at him. They saw a girl dressed in luxury from head to toe.Frank's expression changed, and he signaled to Harold.Harold, not realizing Colin was with Eranthe and recalling Dylan being taken away, glanced at Zora Peterson beside him almost instinctively."Colin." Zora's eyes were fixed on Colin, then she looked at Frank. Her tone wasn't as friendly as before. "Why do you look like you don't want to see me?"Frank casually said, "How could that be? When did you return to Assyria? Weren't you abroad a few days ago?"He had blocked her on social media due to her boring continuous selfies.Zora's gaze, seeming to have hidden meanings, fell on Colin. "Oh, I ju
Eranthe blinked, "I'm not quite sure about Miss Peterson's identity, and besides, your actions just now were indeed a bit too intimate.""Hugging your waist is considered intimate? What about when you were moaning on my bed?"Eranthe widened her eyes, almost wanting to cover his mouth directly, "Mr. Rodriguez, please don't be unreasonable."Their relationship privately, of course, had to be handled with some emotions. They couldn't just shake hands like in business meetings and then ask, 'Would you like to undress first?'When facing someone familiar, who would want to assert dominance or anything? Isn't that what girlfriends are supposed to do?She's just a one-night stand, and everyone knows that. Besides, if he wanted to use her to make the other party retreat, at least he should have given her a signal. He didn't show any signs, so how could she have guessed? She wasn't going to take this blame.Just as they were discussing this, Matthew actually arrived, and several men gathered
Zora stared at him intently, then followed his line of sight, looking towards Eranthe, who was back on the court with Harold.She admitted that, as a woman, her first reaction to seeing Eranthe was also awe-inspiring. It's not surprising that these men are captivated by her. However, that doesn't mean she would like Eranthe.What she found most intolerable was someone like Colin. When there was nothing special in his eyes before, she could convince herself that it was just his personality. But when she discovered someone was extraordinary, that uniqueness would pierce her heart, causing an uncomfortable and painful feeling."Hey, practice with me." Zora directly pointed to a practice partner and went onto the court, right next to Eranthe and the others. They were deeply engrossed in their game, with no time to pay attention to Zora's side.As Eranthe played more, her focus returned. Coupled with her form-fitting attire that highlighted her figure without revealing too much skin, and h
Frank wanted to whistle and quietly pulled Fiona aside to watch the commotion.Eranthe felt reserved around Matthew but slightly better when facing Colin. However, standing against him for the first time felt peculiar.Her focus, however, was mostly on Zora.Matthew, indifferent to the tactics of these two, started the game. The first two players were evenly matched, denying any chances for others to hit the ball.Fiona, enjoying the scene, nestled in Frank's arms, asked, "Darling, who do you think will win?"Frank chuckled, finding her question amusing. From whichever perspective, winning the game meant losing in personal matters."I really can't answer that."Observing Harold, who had already begun flirting with a female companion, Frank glanced around. Fiona muttered, "Her figure doesn't seem to match Eranthe's."That was true.Recalling the first time he saw Eranthe with Dylan, Frank couldn't fathom people's reactions. At least, he thought Eranthe was somewhat blinded at that time
