"I just want everything to go back to how it was."
"Being with me, what's not like before? Have I interfered with your freedom? Or stopped you from going to work?" Colin's tone grew colder.
Eranthe felt him getting too close, his breath encroaching on her, making it hard for her to breathe. But as soon as she moved, her waist was gripped by him, forcing her to look at him while he spoke.
Furrowing her brows, Eranthe suppressed the urge to explode. "Deep down, you know you're just blowing things out of proportion. With your intelligence, do you think if I had anything with Jayden or wanted anything with him, I would let him appear in front of you?"
"I'm annoyed. I'm upset that you don't believe me, and I hate being falsely accused. I also detest the way you're handling this situation." Eranthe grew more agitated as she spoke, her voice rising and making the atmosphere between them even more tense.
"You're staging this retaliation drama now, and I se
Ignoring her previous words, he forcefully and dominantly lifted her up from the lounger."Colin! Let me go!" Eranthe was lifted up horizontally by him, looking at his stern eyes and feeling a wave of panic.Colin placed her on the bed, adjusted his collar, and didn't do anything to her. He just sat down on the sofa, staring at her with unblinking eyes.He didn't move for a while, maintaining that posture."What do you want?" Eranthe questioned.She just wanted to be alone now. This annoying man wouldn't leave or agree to her requests. He just sat there staring at her, for what?Colin didn't answer her, still sitting there like a statue.Eranthe waited for a while, but he remained motionless."What are you up to?" Eranthe demanded.She just wanted to be alone, and if he wouldn't leave, she could change rooms."If you move again, I can't guarantee what I'll do," the man's warning echoed in the room.Eranthe
"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 smile. "Then why are you still here?"Colin lifted an eyebrow. "If you don't finish your meal, I'll stay here."Eranthe felt her irritation flare up again early in the morning. "Are you some kind of stubborn adhesive?""Are you sure you want to provoke me?" Colin countered.Eranthe closed her mouth. She couldn't fight against him, nor could she escape. She couldn't even leave ASSYRIA CITY. She was getting fed up!She threw back the covers, and as she got out of bed, she noticed that her bathrobe was a bit loose, and Colin's gaze didn't shy away.Eranthe turned her back to him to fix it before walking over. "I'll eat breakfast. You can leave now."
"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's not falling for that," Colin remarked. If spending money could solve everything, why bother with the effort?Frank sighed. "How did we, the charming duo, end up tangled with these two sisters?"But he was all talk. After finishing breakfast, he needed to check on things at the company too."Eranthe has a meeting later. You planning to linger here?" Frank asked.Colin considered. "Do you have a better idea?"Frank clicked his tongue. "I mean, isn't this a waste of time? Aren't you worried she'll come back swinging and end up with Jayden?""Didn't you say both of us need to cool off a bit? Besides, relentless pursuit is pointless right now. She d
"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,
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
"Keren No. 18, room 1."Eranthe Taylor sent the room number but not to her boyfriend Dylan Miller.This decision was made half an hour after discovering his affair.At that time, the woman's foot was provocatively roaming up and down his leg. Both parties seemed to enjoy the thrilling game, believing that no one would notice.When the doorbell rang, Eranthe came to her senses, adjusted her clothes, yes, she was willing to call them ‘warrior’s garment’, which was the birthday gift she tidied up and should have been unwrapped by Dylan.As the door opened, she was almost overwhelmed by the man's passionate kiss. All she could see in her line of sight were a pair of eyes with a hint of erotic tidal emotion at the corners, until the high bridge of the nose grazed her own, allowing her to finally recognize the visitor - Colin Rodriguez.However, Colin didn't give the woman in his arms any chance to react. By the time he realized what she was wearing underneath her bathrobe, he had already p
Eranthe wasn't sure when Colin had left; all she remembered was that she slept until three o’clock in the afternoon. She didn't expect someone like Colin, a busy man, to have the time to sit down and chat about their experiences from the previous night. He was handsome and skillful, though, so she didn't lose out; she got a great deal. However, she didn't anticipate that their second meeting would come so soon. … The resort was newly developed, known for its serene environment, which also meant it was far from the city center. She didn't realize it would be so difficult to find a cab. "Get in," Frank Wilson pulled up in a car just in front of Eranthe. She was somewhat surprised because she didn't think the landlord of this development area would remember someone like her. "It's hard to get a cab in this suburban area. Where are you going?" Frank casually asked. "To Wilson Road." "On the way, get in, we're going back." Since he said that, Eranthe didn't want to be difficult.
"No." Eranthe was unsure of Colin's intentions. Surely, he wouldn't expect her to write a report on last night's events for his approval. Upon hearing her response, the man chuckled lightly. Coupled with his consistently indifferent face, everything seemed so surreal. "Last night, weren't you bold enough?" After a brief silence, Eranthe lifted her eyelids and said, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Rodriguez and I had a mutual agreement. You wouldn't be thinking of settling scores now, would you?" She and Dylan had each cheated on the other with an unmistakable affair, but she chose to take advantage of Colin Rodriguez, who Dylan couldn't afford to provoke. The only miscalculation was that Colin, who should have stayed out of it, ended up at once in front of her. Colin didn't immediately respond. The car continued to drive smoothly, and just when Eranthe thought he wouldn't say anything more, he uttered something that surprised her. "Do you mind trying long-term sex partnership?" E
