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
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
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
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
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
"Are you busy, Eranthe?" Urania asked with a smile."I'm just finishing work. Have you returned from your business trip?" Eranthe stood up and walked to a corner to answer the call."I just landed. Come over for dinner tonight. It's been a while since we gathered together. I want to see you," Urania suggested."Sure, I'll come over after work. Do you need me to buy anything?" Eranthe offered."No need. Just come over like before. I'll head back now." Urania seemed a bit busy on the other end of the line.Eranthe hung up and Acacia asked, "Your aunt invited you for dinner?""Yes.""Well, you haven't mentioned her in a while. You should go. I'll take care of your part here. Say hello to your aunt for me.""Thanks. I'll treat you to dinner another time."Acacia waved her hand, "Deal."As Eranthe was leaving, she bought a bouquet of flowers and some fruits before driving to the King family's residence.The King family's home was in the old villa area of Assyria. Eranthe had mixed unpleasa
Jayden glanced up slightly, and Susan exclaimed, "Really none? Then I need to help you find one. This girl, the twenties are the best time, not being in a relationship is not acceptable."Urania laughed, "Young people nowadays have different thoughts. They think being single is good. If Eranthe hasn't found a good match, I won't force her to find one."Eranthe escaped to the kitchen and started washing the fruit. Someone followed her, and Eranthe thought it was Urania. She turned and said, "Aunt, did your business trip go smoothly this time?"Jayden walked up beside her. "Need help?"Eranthe was startled. "Why didn't you make a sound? I thought it was my aunt."With this distraction, the awkwardness between them diminished a bit. Jayden took the apples from her plate. "Do I scare you?""No." Eranthe replied casually. "Do you have a girlfriend?"Jayden glanced at her. "No.""Really? Back in school, all those girls used to chase after you. I thought you would have had several girlfriend
"There's some hope," Eranthe wasn't one to exaggerate. If she said so, it was likely to happen.Urania was also delighted, "Really? Then let me know in advance, and I'll treat you to a meal.""Sure.""It seems Eranthe is quite promising. Jayden, you need to step up and learn from your 'sister' Eranthe."Jayden raised an eyebrow, "I never called her sister."Susan laughed, "You little rascal.""Not that much of an age difference anyway," Urania served Eranthe some food.Adrian nodded, "Eranthe has always been sensible. Regarding what happened before, let me express gratitude on behalf of Scarlett. After all, Scarlett caused you trouble."Seeing Adrian bring up the past again, coupled with Jayden saying he didn't consider Eranthe a sister, Scarlett exploded. She slammed the table, saying, "Are you never going to stop? Don't always act like I did something wrong. Is Eranthe never at fault?"Eranthe's temple veins twitched. She turned to face Scarlett across the table and said, "Do you ha
