To fall for him would be so painful.
The things he gave were always more than what you asked for.
Following him, you couldn't help but become greedier, unwilling to see him leave. Desperate, you wouldn't find anyone better than him.
"But Minako Ioli also got what she deserved."
As the person directly involved, Eranthe was even less likely to sympathize with Minako Ioli's plig
Did they install surveillance outside her door or something? How did he know Colin had already left?Besides, who said she wasn’t taking care of him? She’d just told him to stay in his own place tonight instead of constantly camping out at hers.She rinsed the rice and started cooking.About forty minutes later, she went to knock on the door next door.Colin didn’t open it.Looking at the brand-new keypad lock, Eranthe thought for a moment and entered her own apartment password.Sure enough…The electronic lock clicked open.The moment she stepped inside, she was nearly driven back out by the smell.It was like a concentrated formaldehyde disaster zone.And the entire place had already been torn apart for renovation.Eranthe wasn’t even sure Colin was still inside—no one could stand this environment.“Colin?”She hit the light switch. Probably because of the construction, the lights wouldn’t come on.She took out her phone and used the flashlight, eventually finding him in the bedroom
Taking advantage of the chaos, Erantha scrambled to her feet and fled.“Mr. Rodriguez, we should leave through the back,” someone advised.There were too many people in front, snapping photos and crowding around.“Leave one person here to wait for Eranthe,” Colin said coolly. “Don’t let her go out the front.”If those two kept fighting without restraint, she might get hurt.“Yes, sir.”Colin exited through the back door into the alley behind the restaurant.Erantha had also fled in that direction. When she came face to face with the dignified, cold-looking man, she instinctively covered her face and lowered her head.Colin paused as he passed her. “Didn’t I tell you not to use that name?”“Mr. Rodriguez.” She looked up at him, pitiful and fragile—though her face was already scratched and bruised beyond recognition.Colin had little patience. “Don’t let me see you in Assyria again.”Erantha’s expression changed instantly. “Mr. Rodriguez!”She rushed after him, but the bodyguards stoppe
Colin gestured toward the door. “Everyone else, out. This isn’t a meeting for outsiders. This is a negotiation between two companies—why are there random people here?”“Don’t tell me that if I don’t show up today, you think you can treat the Rodriguez Family like fools?”Erantha blushed and got up to leave. As she passed by Eranthe, she lowered her head in embarrassment.Eranthe noticed that Colin seemed unusually angry today. Normally, even in situations like this, he wouldn’t be so relentless.Colin’s temper flared easily. At home, he could keep a low profile, but if people tried to undermine him here… who had they offended?Once Erantha left, no one dared speak.Jennifer was on the verge of tears.If Colin were the type to pity women, he wouldn’t have been called ruthless behind his back.“Why are you crying? I’m the one being slandered, and you’re the one crying first. Fine, I have time today. Sit there and wait until you clarify yourself. Otherwise, if today you say I’m involved
Jennifer turned sharply to Eranthe. “Eranthe, you tell him. Do you have some history with Mr. Rodriguez or not?”Eranthe smiled lightly. “Mr. Rodriguez? Who doesn’t know him? But Mr. Rodriguez may not even recognize me. I don’t know who told Director O’Halloran that. You say it doesn’t matter. There’s plenty of news about Mr. Rodriguez—don’t tarnish the Rodriguez Family’s name, okay?”“Everyone knows it. Our company being able to collaborate with the Rodriguez Family on Chamber of Commerce events is thanks to government trust and all our employees’ efforts, right, Mr. Hill?”Vice President Hill still couldn’t tell whether Eranthe had any real connection with Colin. He had to take Ana’s words with a grain of salt.But now it seemed Colin wasn’t giving Eranthe any special treatment—if anything, it looked like someone had offended him. Could it be that by calling Eranthe tonight, he had crossed him?It appeared that, in Colin’s mind, Eranthe mattered more than he had thought—after all, s
Jennifer thought she was nothing like Eranthe, and had no right to push herself around.Ignoring Vice President Hill’s words, Jennifer stayed silent. The only person keeping a smile was Eranthe.Jacob set down his glass—clearly done with the conversation.Vice President Hill, after flattering Jacob all day, couldn’t allow Jennifer to cause trouble at this critical moment. He warned, “Jennifer, are you feeling unwell?”Someone tugged at Jennifer. She forced a smile. “Mr. Turner, I toast you.”Eranthe continued eating, ignoring Jennifer’s gaze.Elsewhere, Colin had dressed, fed Elsa, and received a call from Chole.“Mr. Rodriguez.”“Where is she?” Since Eranthe refused to tell him where she went, Colin had to learn by other means.Chole gave him the address. “A few people initially tried to force her to drink. Miss Taylor found a way to make them lose face. It seems Jacob isn’t trying to pressure her at all.”Colin remained silent—already a sign of his rising anger.Coupled with his col
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.
"First, he asked me for the number. Second, I'm not interested in any taken man, so there's no such thing as me being obsessed with someone else's man. Third, from the beginning to the end, it was you guys who insisted on dragging me along to shop. Did I ever say I wanted to leave?"The sto
"Oh! Here comes my fiancé." Kamilia waved towards someone behind Eranthe. Kamilia brushed past Eranthe and directly embraced the man's arm. The man seemed a bit impatient, "Why did it take you so long? My mom has been waiting for quite a while." Kamilia pouted, "I met an old
Eranthe had long been accustomed to facing life's challenges alone. She understood early on that in this world, people come alone and leave alone. Both temporary and lifelong companionship were extremely challenging.However, being with Colin felt like regardless of the circumstances, they
Minako tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Congratulations, you've found the woman you wanted. But you did say before that there was someone unforgettable. Are you not regretful now?"This time, Colin genuinely expressed satisfaction from the depths of his heart. "She is the one."Min
