Once she was sure that Dylan, the damned pervert, hadn't left anything behind, she turned on the lights.As she walked to the balcony to retrieve her clothes from a couple of days ago, she figured Colin probably had already left. So, she didn't bother to check.But if she wanted to look, a single glance would reveal that his car was still there.Eranthe returned to her room, still a bit fearful of opening the wardrobe. Mustering up courage, she pushed the wardrobe doors open and casually picked up some clean clothes, heading towards the bathroom.She even felt that in the future, whenever she opened the wardrobe, this kind of shadow might haunt her, all thanks to that scumbag Dylan.Eranthe gently removed her makeup, placed a bath bomb in the bathtub, turned on the tablet to continue watching the comedy variety show she hadn't finished last time, poured herself a glass of red wine, lit an aromatherapy lamp, and prepared a plate of fruit salad. She wanted to relax and enjoy a soothing
If her skincare routine failed, and she gained wrinkles, it wouldn't be worth it.Colin, however, ignored her surprised expression. He picked up the massage oil from the table, applied some to his hands, and began to give her a massage, neither too gentle nor too forceful.Eranthe looked at his profile and felt strangely guilty again.She would rather he scolded her directly, called her all sorts of ungrateful names, anything would be better than him silently and earnestly applying medicine to her foot.With nothing else to do, she decided to turn on the projector. Soon, the large screen in the living room displayed the show she had been watching earlier.Colin's big palm continued to massage her ankle with just the right amount of pressure. In no time, Eranthe started to feel drowsy, and she rested her eyes, holding onto a throw pillow.When she came to her senses, things had already taken a turn.Colin's hand was no longer at her ankle but gradually moving upward. As he lifted her t
Colin remained silent.Eranthe bypassed his intentions and continued speaking, "As you know, in large corporations like this, there are too many people more capable than me."Her educational background wasn't even the highest. When interns like her joined their company straight out of college, a simple inquiry revealed that they either had influential backgrounds or strong qualifications.If she settled for a position without challenging herself, she would never achieve the life she wanted.Colin said, "Learning from this won't get you anywhere. I'll have Morris send you some materials tomorrow and connect you with someone..."Eranthe looked at him, pursing her lips, "Materials are fine, but..."She hadn't finished her sentence, but her intention to make things clear was evident.Colin stared at her, "Actually, you're a smart person. You know the opportunities in front of you are to be seized. Whatever you want, you can get it from me. You can avoid struggling for a lifetime."More th
In novels and TV dramas, it was as if they were on standby 24 hours a day, ready to work.Colin responded in a cold tone, "Unless it's a special circumstance, I won't lack humanity. Besides, my special assistant is not a woman."Eranthe, while zipping up her dress, frowned. "Are you discriminating against women?"Colin leaned against the door, calmly explaining, "Calling a female employee to fetch documents late at night. Who would be responsible if something bad happened?"That made sense, and Colin could see the understanding in her expression. "Let's go," he said.Eranthe grabbed her bag and followed him out.When she was about to put on high heels, Colin picked out a pair of flat shoes. "Wear these."Since her ankles were scraped and bleeding, she decided to listen to him. After all, tonight was not about attending a meeting, so she didn't want to wear high heels.Once they got into the car, Eranthe realized that Colin was playing the role of her driver tonight."Thank you for ton
"No, I won't be able to sleep even for a few minutes."Ana's house was quite quiet, located in the back of the villa area. After Colin parked the car, Eranthe whispered, "I'll be back soon.""Okay."Colin followed her out of the car and watched her go inside before leaning against the car and lighting a cigarette.Ana seemed a bit impatient, taking the files from Eranthe as soon as she entered.After making a call and sorting everything out, she said, "Sorry for calling you out at night and forgetting to offer you a glass of water."Eranthe smiled, "It's part of my job. If there's nothing else, Ana, I'll leave now.""I'll call a cab for you.""No need." Eranthe refused, and Ana looked at her."I came with a friend.""Boyfriend? What does he do?"Seeing Ana's curious expression, Eranthe reluctantly explained, "Really, he's not my boyfriend.""Then a pursuer. Don't worry; I'm not so strict as to disallow subordinates from dating. It seems I disturbed you both tonight." Ana stood up, rea
During this half month, the hottest topic in Ashly Group was the Miller family's case.Eranthe had also been to the police station for an investigation, all arranged by Morris with a lawyer accompanying her. So, she hadn't encountered Alice Miller in the meantime.Now, the talk among colleagues had shifted to sympathizing with Eranthe."Good thing you broke up with Dylan, getting rid of a scumbag early. Otherwise, you'd be in big trouble.""Yeah."They spoke while watching Eranthe's expression, trying to get some feedback and satisfy their gossiping mentality.However, Eranthe's reactions always disappointed them; she seemed indifferent to everything related to Dylan.Adding to this, wherever Ana goes these days, she takes Eranthe with her, making it clear that a promotion is in the works. Mr. Harris has also been reassigned from his position, and it seems like the department head role will fall onto Eranthe’s shoulders. None of her colleagues dared to say anything to her face.Once A
If Galina wanted to blame someone, she should blame herself for being too dirty. It wasn't as if Eranthe had "easy target" written on her forehead.Galina thought that bullying her once meant they could do it again? She was underestimating Eranthe, and Galina was overestimating herself."You're the one who harmed me! It's you!" Galina grabbed her bag and tried to hit Eranthe.Luckily, Acacia had sensed something was off and grabbed her from behind, "Hurry to help me!"Several male colleagues rushed to pull Galina away as she still tried to attack Eranthe."It's because of you! I won't let you off! Eranthe, just wait for me!"Eranthe looked at her colleagues with a bemused expression.She said, "The rumors end with the wise. Don't falsely accuse me based on your own behavior. If you think it's me, feel free to report to the police and let them trace the IP address. "At this point, Eranthe smirked and continued."By the way, I forgot to tell you, the company has long found out that you
Acacia was surprised. "Oh, you know Colin? How come I didn't know?"Oriel raised an eyebrow, "I know him, but he may not remember me. We were two years apart when we were in school. Later, during an event in Germany, I approached him for a chat. He was as cold as an ice cube, asking me to contact his assistant if I had any questions!"Rolling her eyes, Oriel added, "Finding a partner for someone like him would be challenging if it weren't for his wealth. If he's not rich, he might have to wait in line for a few lifetimes."Acacia shrugged, "With that face, why worry about his love life? Better to worry about what we're having for dinner tonight.""Good point, hahaha." Oriel got into Eranthe's car.As they left the parking lot, they saw a line of cars passing by.Acacia, envious of Colin, also took the opportunity to catch up Oriel on what had happened during her absence from Assyria."What's going on? That jerk Dylan dared to block you? What a scumbag!" Oriel's voice also rose."Let i
