One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 44: Why should she let Galina off the hook?
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 45: Colin was sitting next to me.
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 46: How can a handsome guy not have any selfie photos?
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 47: He is also here
The three turned to look at the entrance, and the person at the door also seemed surprised.Zora frowned at Eranthe and, rolling her eyes, said, "Why is it you?"Eranthe pursed her lips, finding it quite inexplicable.Wearing an expression as if catching an adulterer, Zora glanced at Eranthe and her two female companions before leaving on her own.Oriel was puzzled, "Isn't that Zora?"Acacia didn't know who she was talking about, "Who?"Oriel enjoyed a bite of peony shrimp, savoring the dense texture in her mouth."She's the daughter of the owner of Peterson Pharmaceutical Co. She's simply infatuated. Wherever Colin goes, she follows like a stalker. People in their circle avoid her when they see her."Oriel, having participated in local business events due to her father's connections, naturally knew quite a few heiresses. She was already familiar with the gossip about Zora's obsessive love for Colin."If Colin is so easy to pursue, he'd have to draw lots every night before going to be
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 48: The enemy of an enemy is a friend
Zora and her group stared daggers at Eranthe's table, but they couldn't say anything in front of the men. Zora directly headed towards Colin's position.However, Colin merely lifted his eyelids slightly, and the people around him immediately laughed, preventing Zora from squeezing in.Oriel sneered, "See that? Seeing is believing."Anyone here was not someone Acacia dared to mess with. She didn't dare to intervene and just wanted to leave. Even if they were given top-notch ingredients now, she wouldn't be able to swallow them.Someone asked Oscar, "Why didn't you introduce the people you brought?"Oscar chuckled, "I didn't expect to run into you all. This is Oriel."Oriel raised her glass towards the others, introducing herself and her profession. Being a social media influencer in the realm of gourmet food was still relatively novel, and the men found themselves chatting easily with her.Knowing that Eranthe and Acacia worked for Ashly, a few even exchanged business cards, expressing
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 49: I think we can skip the collaboration
Colin's time, where was it readily available? Not outright refusing Zora's request was already good enough for her.However, Eranthe had directly knocked away the hand that was moving upward. Inadvertently, she hit his watch, and it hurt Eranthe so much that she almost cried.Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Colin's warm palm had already gripped her fingers. Eranthe couldn't pull it out, and her face turned red with anxiety.In Zora's eyes, it seemed like Eranthe was deliberately acting shy to seduce men.On her side, Zora's little sisters also noticed and whispered, "Look at her, she can't do without a man. Even in front of you, she doesn't show any restraint.""Yeah, Zora, if you don't give her a lesson, she'll think you're easy to bully."Zora had long been confused by Eranthe's behavior, forgetting how she had pushed herself against the stairs that day. In her eyes, this woman acted differently in front of men and women.A typical two-faced person, but men seemed to fa
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 50: Help me investigate someone
Colin had invested in a medical project, and the news had spread throughout Assyria. Those who could associate with Colin were generally profitable. If Colin didn't give you face, no one would be willing to give you another chance.Peterson Pharmaceutical Co. had faced difficulties in the past two years, mainly due to the excessive family-oriented internal structure of the group. There were relatives and friends everywhere.Despite Oscar's considerable efforts to get a share of the pie, Colin decided to kick the Peterson Group out due to Zora's foolish behavior.Oscar, disregarding his dignity, immediately stood up and said, "Colin, Zora is young and doesn't know how to speak. I apologize on her behalf.""No need," Colin said, placing his glass down.Oscar, losing face, directed all his anger towards Zora. In front of so many people, continuing to argue with Colin and retracting his words would only embarrass Colin.So, he calmly smiled and said, "Alright, let me apologize to everyone
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 51: What if I startle you when you were working on bed
"Pretending to be ignorant?" Colin suddenly used his fingers to poke at the sole of her foot under the table.Eranthe, dressed in a slim-fitting skirt, found it awkward to sit cross-legged. Instead, she knelt down, occasionally stretching her tender feet.When Colin poked her, she immediately shot him a glare, "Mr. Rodriguez, please maintain a normal social distance."Colin seemed contemplative, "I prefer negative-distance socializing."For some reason, the word "socializing" gained a certain meaning between his lips.Eranthe really didn't want to understand it instantly, but she couldn't help but grasp the implied meaning in Colin's words, "Are you always like this in your daily life, pretending?"Colin's choice of words with Zora was likely deliberate, ensuring that her metaphorical filters remained intact. It’s interesting.Colin remained noncommittal to her words, calmly enjoying his meal. It wasn't evident before that he enjoyed eating this much. Now, he was savoring each bite."

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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 259: I have to take care of it myself
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 258: You scared me earlier
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 257: I'm making you unable to think straight?
"..." 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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 256: It's already worth it
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 255: Making some extra cash
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 254: Why would I need a nutritionist?
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 253: It seems like they angered some big shot
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 252: You want to sleep with my woman?
"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,
