Masuk"It seems Miss. Taylor was just making excuses earlier. Now we can consider ourselves friends. This is not fair, is it? "
Eranthe felt her stomach burning like fire, and she smiled, saying, "I've had my drink, Miss. Torres, how about your glass?"
William, seeing everyone eager to join, felt uneasy. Yet, Eranthe had indeed engaged with this group, deciding to drink whenever they did.
"Maybe we should drop it."
But Ines insisted, "No, no, we're having a good time dri
She fixed her gaze on Jennifer with a cold, challenging tone. “Director O’Halloran, come sit here. Don’t keep Mr. Turner waiting.”Jennifer slammed the wine glass onto the table.Vice President Hill cleared his throat. “Bob, switch places with Jennifer.”Jennifer gave a fake smile. “As expected of our Eranthe.”“Director O’Halloran is too polite. Today’s star is Mr. Turner. I wouldn’t dare compete,” Eranthe said.She patted the chair, and as Jennifer walked over, Bob sat down as if granted a great pardon.Jennifer reached Eranthe’s side. The two women exchanged glances full of sharp tension, sparks practically flying from their eyes.“You think you can keep smiling for long?” Jennifer whispered.Eranthe pulled the chair slightly away. “Better than disgusting some intern to entertain guests. You and your little clique are just as repulsive as ever.”With that, Eranthe ignored Jennifer completely and sat down.Just as the tension at the table peaked, the door to the private room opened.
“I won’t die.”Listen to that tsundere tone. Clearly wanting concern, but too stubborn to ask for it.Eranthe had learned his push-and-pull tendencies well.“Oh, fine. I’ll hang up then.”“Do you even have a conscience?” His voice deepened.Eranthe stopped in her tracks. “Are you scolding me?”Colin choked. “I’m not!”“You refuse to leave my place, yet I give you medicine, and you still scold me?” She locked the office door, raising an eyebrow. “Mr. Rodriguez, consider this your red-card warning.”“…” Colin’s scalp tingled.Eranthe headed to the restroom, touching up her makeup. Seeing him still silent, she continued, “Also, I’m single. I go home whenever I want.”“…”Colin leaned back on the sofa, listening as she added, “If you don’t take the medicine, fine, suit yourself.”He could at least be thankful she hadn’t said something like “if you die, I won’t mourn you.”But to prevent more aggravating comments, he cut her off decisively.“If you’re not home by 9 p.m., I’ll send someone
Gabriel noticed her little move and smiled, but he had to focus on the matter at hand.“I’ve highlighted a few clauses that could be disadvantageous to your career. Take a look and let me know if there’s anything you’d like to amend. I’ll personally negotiate with Ashly Mall Group’s internal staff.”Eranthe hadn’t expected such a bold move.But being a diligent worker, she politely reminded him, “I don’t think there’s much room to change this contract.”For someone like her, even a position as Head of Administration was already impressive. But to senior management, one more person or one less person didn’t make much difference.“Does Miss Taylor really think that way? If so, then why is the one sitting here you, and not someone else?” Gabriel adjusted his glasses.“Don’t forget, Miss Taylor,” he continued, “it was you who brought Ashly Mall into the Chamber of Commerce event. You have every right to request the conditions we just discussed—your salary, vacation, profit-sharing structu
Since the incident with that female celebrity trying to impersonate her, Oriel’s following had grown even more. With the surge in attention, she had spent most of her time at home playing games, yet the engagement alone was enough for her endorsement income to rival that of top actresses.Moreover, her father had bought the unit directly across from hers years ago, just so she could live more comfortably. If her parents came to visit, they could stay there, and the property was registered under her name.The real estate agent knew very well that anyone who could afford a place in this building was not short of money, but he hadn’t expected the buyer interested in the unit to be a Wilson.“And… would you like me to negotiate with them?” the agent asked carefully.Oriel rolled her eyes. “Just send me the number.”She wanted to see which arrogant rich man thought he could buy anything he wanted.Frank’s assistant called him half an hour later.“How did it go?” Frank was in his private hea
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
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
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 he
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 priori
"This is my first time sharing a room with a guy, and it's you, Mr. Rodriguez. How unfeeling of you.""Are you crazy?" Colin replied casually, opening his laptop.Continuing to eat his breakfast, Frank teased, "Yes, yes, I'm crazy. So, what's your plan now? Flowers? Gifts?""She
"Let's have breakfast first," Colin said as the hotel staff wheeled in a breakfast cart and he placed the food on the table.Frowning, Eranthe looked at him. "I made myself clear last night. I won't change my mind."Colin nodded. "I've made my decision."Eranthe gave him a cool
