LOGINIn fact, Eranthe also took a discreet look at Zerlinda. Upon closer inspection, Colin didn't resemble Zerlinda much. She carried an aura of shrewdness and elegance nurtured by all the riches and honors of the world.
Colin, on the other hand, seemed young and enigmatic, with a sense of detachment from worldly affairs embedded in his facial features.
Not knowing how to respond and fearing an awkward silence, Eranthe said, "I don't know how much you know about him, but he's truly a
“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
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
After all, having reached adulthood, he wanted to experience the charm of women. However, in reality, there were very few who caught his eye."Each to their own." Colin judged at a glance that the beauty queen was a delicacy for his friend, and he liked this type.Sure enough, upon he
On the day she left the villa, she had asked him if he had fallen in love with her.He liked her but didn't love her.Eranthe didn't want to face that kind of situation again. It made her feel powerless and annoyed, and suddenly, she didn't want to confront Colin.If this was hi
Colin stroked her hair, feeling a sense of joy from her words. His actions became even gentler.At this moment, she was like an obedient and lovely cat, nestled in his arms.Colin simply pulled her into his embrace, his voice tinged with a hint of laughter. "Try acting cute for a bit.
[This domineering airborne tactic, could it be our Mr. Rodriguez?][You run, he chases, can you escape even with wings!?]Eranthe asked directly, [How's the company?][The company is fine, but how did Colin capture you in the middle of the night? Is Mr. Rodriguez feeling lonely
