One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 58: I really don't have a boyfriend
"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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 59: At Susan’s home
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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 60: Battle with Scarlett
"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
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 61: I'll make sure you're not comfortable either
"The one who's wrong is you. Just because your voice is louder, does that make everything someone else's fault? "Scarlett was unable to retort under Eranthe's questioning, losing face again.She gritted her teeth and said, "You just refuse to admit your improper behavior. You clearly have a relationship with Matthew. The matter isn't so serious, yet you insist on using the threat of me going to jail to intimidate me, just to gain favor with Matthew's cousin!"Eranthe directly took Scarlett's phone, glanced at the person who sent her the message—Zora."Give me back my phone!" Scarlett shouted.Adrian, seeing her still wanting to take action, pulled her away and threw her on the sofa. Scarlett was stunned. When had Adrian treated her like this from childhood to now?"Adrian! You're helping these two foxes bully me!"After Scarlett finished speaking, she grabbed her backpack and tried to rush out.Urania stepped forward. "Scarlett, where are you going?"Scarlett turned to stare at her.
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 62: The intruded life
Eranthe added Jayden as a friend, and then they said their goodbyes.When Susan and Jayden were heading home, Susan sighed, "Eranthe is such a good kid. If only she had parents, she wouldn't have to work so hard."Jayden shrugged, "What's wrong with not having parents? She's doing well now.""You don't understand. After losing her parents, if she's bullied, she's all alone. Moreover, many families look down on someone like her."Jayden frowned, "Are you really going to set her up on a blind date?""What's wrong with that? Mia Aunt's son is about the same age as her.""That guy even bought his way into college. He's not good enough for Eranthe.""Don't talk nonsense."Jayden went into his room, "Just don't set her up, alright?"Susan mumbled something in response, and Jayden opened Eranthe's social media space. After confirming that there were no traces of men inside, he slowly curled up his lips.Back home, the room was pitch dark. Eranthe wasn't quite used to it; it always felt like
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 63: Acacia's words were becoming pointed
After a round of adjustments, she finally returned to bed but struggled to find sleep. It wasn't until around 3 AM that Eranthe, in a drowsy state, fell into slumber.The next morning, she nearly overslept.As she approached the company's entrance, she accidentally collided with someone, causing her commuter bag to fall, spilling its contents."I'm sorry." The young man bowed his head to help pick up the items. He wore a mask, and Eranthe didn't pay much attention to him, focusing on packing her things."It's okay," she replied, heading straight to the door and making it in the last minute for the clock-in."You finally made it. I thought you were going to be late," Acacia teased as Eranthe sat down, catching her breath."The Planning Department has already refined several plans. I reviewed them, and they look good. Shall we go to their company today?" Acacia suggested."Sure, I'll check which one is in our district. We can start with that," Eranthe replied after catching her breath.
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 64: She was taken to the police station
William understood that these people were here to place orders, so they must be busy.He didn't insist and just sent Eranthe off, whispering, "We can't have a meal together this time. Don't refuse the next invitation; consider it giving me face."At this point, Eranthe couldn't reject again. "Alright, next time, I'll invite you to dinner.""Then it's settled," William insisted on escorting them to the parking lot.When William returned, the receptionist teased, "BOSS, is she your girlfriend?"William, who usually had no airs, was handsome and generous, and the younger girls in the company treated him casually.William laughed, "Don't talk nonsense; that lady's boyfriend is not someone I can compare to."The receptionist and William exchanged surprised glances. More powerful than William? Who could that be? It couldn't be someone from an even higher level, could it? They couldn't figure out which wealthy family Eranthe came from.After saying this, William walked away, leaving the two
One Night Stand: Alpha trapped me Chapter 65: I think I've been to a similar place before
Colin was tall, a fact Eranthe had always known, but as she stood on the steps of the police station, meeting his gaze only when they were almost at eye level, Eranthe suddenly understood why she was able to get out.She also realized that all those mysterious calculations would dissipate because of the favor of this man in front of her.An indescribable emotion echoed in her heart. In this vulnerable moment, a strong wall of defense rose within her.Her vision started to blur, and as she opened her mouth, she found her nose tingling. Colin sheltered her under the umbrella, extending his hand to gently squeeze the hand clutching her clothes.The raindrops, illuminated by the car lights, seemed exceptionally clear.It was also evident how warm Colin's extended hand was, radiating a force that helped her out.If it weren't for the people around, Eranthe really wanted to throw herself into his arms."Mr. Rodriguez," Gabriel stated solemnly, "I'll leave her in your care. Contact me if nee

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,
