LOGIN"What are you doing here?"
Since the incident at the mall, she hadn't mentioned Eranthe's name at the class reunion, fearing another encounter. Now, they had bumped into each other again after hearing her arguing with Jesse.
Eranthe was equally exasperated. Who would want to run into them?
Jesse seemed surprised too. Eranthe replied impatiently, "I'm an employee of Ashly. It's not strange for me to be here."
Kamilia choked back a retort. Since their relationship wa
“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
"Alright, I'll give it a try."What Oriel didn't know was that Frank initially wanted her to be a regular participant, but the production team opposed the idea. Even Harold felt it was too obvious. Eventually, they dropped the plan.On the other hand, upon receiving news that Oriel's
However, after marriage, their relationship quickly crumbled under the pressure of their respective admirers. Whether voluntary or forced, their marriage became a fragile union of interests between two different races.Both sets of parents reached some kind of agreement, only requiring them
The private courtyard of the hot spring villa was beautifully designed for the deep autumn. With the meticulous care of the designer, red maple leaves gently fell with the night breeze.Colin gathered her long hair and left a kiss on her back.As Eranthe watched the maple leaves falli
And now he was questioning her about stealing a drink? What did she steal?Eranthe was annoyed."Give it back to me."Colin finished the drink directly, and just as Eranthe was about to explode in anger, he grabbed the back of her head and leaned down to transfer the liquid from
