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."
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 52: Is your hospitality not sufficient?
Eranthe, on guard, looked at him. "I'm not in the mood today."Tired and with a busy day ahead, she had no time to play around with him in bed, especially since he loved to tease endlessly. Every time, it took at least three or four rounds before he would stop, and she had an early meeting tomorrow. She didn't want to be late because of him.Colin restrained his smile. "I came to make up for last weekend.""No need." Eranthe entered the elevator, wanting to send Colin away. He didn't move, but just stared at her in silence.Thinking she successfully got rid of him when the elevator doors slowly closed and his figure was about to be completely separated outside, she was about to exhale a sigh of relief.However, Colin's long fingers were already pressing in the gap of the elevator doors. He smoothly pushed them open and walked in."I see your mood swings are quite drastic. Hormonal imbalance, perhaps. It needs some balancing, or else why would you talk so strangely?" Colin said as he c
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 53: You're jealous
But, obeying, being sensible, and listening were the three things he wouldn't compromise on.She had to assert herself as the owner of the house.Just as she was thinking about it, the sobering tea was ready. She subconsciously carried two cups out.The bathroom door opened. Colin, bare-chested, was drying his hair with her towel, and his lower body was wrapped in her bath towel.Eranthe's heart skipped a beat. "Why are you using my towel to wrap yourself up?! How can I use it now?"Colin raised an eyebrow. "It's fine. Then I get rid of it."He pretended to peel it off, and Eranthe immediately waved her hand, "No need! Keep it on, consider it a gift from me!"Colin looked at the hangover tea on the table, "So polite?"Eranthe rolled her eyes, "Both of these cups are mine.""Drinking too much, aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep?" Colin dried his hair, and water droplets followed his movements, a few sliding down along the texture of his muscles.Eranthe cleared her throat, "I
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 54: I'm Juliet, the new ‘secretary’
Eranthe said coolly, and the air suddenly became strangely quiet.She glanced at Colin with a strange expression, as if confirming whether her thoughts were correct.However, the man just slightly opened his thin lips, looking disdainful. "You're quite confident."Eranthe couldn't save face at once, stood up abruptly, and said, "I'm going to bed."She walked with big strides, making loud footsteps, returned to the bedroom, lifted the quilt, and went under it.After a while, the door was finally opened, a tall figure walked in, closed the door while at it, and the bed sank down. Clearly, both of them had used the same shower gel, but Eranthe felt that his scent was different from hers.Colin remained still, and Eranthe breathed a sigh of relief. She closed her eyes, ready to enter the dreamland. After a while, a pair of long arms hooked around her waist, pulling her over, and legs followed suit, pressing down on her until she couldn't breathe."I'm uncomfortable sleeping like this!"Co
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 55: You won't accept any hidden rules?
Zora continued scrolling through her phone screen, examining the people Eranthe was connected with. Apart from Dylan, who was currently in prison, only one other person, Scarlett, caught Zora's attention.She found Scarlett, who seemed to have a contentious relationship with Eranthe. With a sly smile, Zora saved Scarlett's phone number. Regardless of whether the woman tonight was truly the secretary or not, Zora was determined to make Eranthe pay for the frustration she caused her.Because of Zora's call, Eranthe and Colin had another tumultuous night. When Eranthe woke up the next day, she was disturbed by the commotion outside.Sitting up in bed, she checked her phone and was relieved to see that it was still early.After getting dressed, she went out and found Colin already sitting at the dining table, with a black suitcase by the door.Eranthe's heart skipped a beat. Colin said, "Get ready if you're awake."She pointed at the suitcase, "Are you going on a business trip?"Colin lif
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 56: Can you withdraw the complaint?
These people were savvy, having spent a lot of time with Frank's group. How could they not see through last night's trick? They also heard about Colin sending Dylan to prison for Dylan’s ex-girlfriend for her involvement. Understanding the situation, they came to express goodwill and explore some alternative avenues.Despite Eranthe's serious demeanor, insisting on following a formal process, the clients patiently sat down and listened. As they delved into the discussion, they found the conversation quite interesting and even raised some requirements and suggestions.After the discussion, they felt that the deal was worthwhile, and Eranthe appeared diligent and responsible."We will send you the proposals in the next couple of days.""Pleasure working with you. We'll wait for your proposals and quotes."They initially intended to sign the contract directly, but Eranthe and Acacia insisted that they review the proposals and price lists before making a decision. Seeing the sincerity of
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 57: Both saw the same hostility in each other's gaze
Eranthe frowned, "Even if I withdraw the complaint, Dylan won't be released. The things he did behind my back, hiding them from me during and after our relationship, even if I don't pursue them, I can't make decisions on whether he should be released.""Miss. Taylor, as long as you have the intention, you can plead with Colin. As long as Colin helps, Dylan will definitely get a reduced sentence. He can come out earlier. His life has just begun. He's only in his twenties; it can't end like this."As soon as Eranthe heard Colin's name, her gaze turned cold, "Mrs. Miller, I can't control Colin, and besides, whatever Dylan did behind my back and got caught for is not something Colin can frame. Dylan is an adult; he should know that actions have consequences. Instead of focusing on this, you should think about how to move forward."Seeing that Eranthe didn't agree, Alice knelt down abruptly, startling Eranthe, who stood up abruptly, "Mrs. Miller, please get up quickly. I really can't make

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,
