Chapter 21: Wrong once, and I'll kiss you again
Eranthe remained silent for a moment, mainly because Colin's message left her unsure of how to respond appropriately.Fortunately, Colin didn't send any more messages.Just as Eranthe breathed a sigh of relief, she noticed two tall men in suits walking towards her from the corner.Her pupils constricted, a reflexive reaction to Dylan's shadow. She instinctively thought about turning back to the hospital to report to the police.The men approached quickly, "Ms. Taylor, we're here on Mr. Jones's arrangement. He knew you didn't have an umbrella. Do you need us to escort you to your destination?"Eranthe was momentarily stunned, "Morris? Have you been following me all along?"The man seemed a bit embarrassed, "We are employed as private security by the Rodriguez family. Mr. Jones was concerned about the possibility of someone threatening your personal safety. Unless necessary, we wouldn't appear before you."While Eranthe was somewhat displeased, she acknowledged the current exceptional c

Chapter 22: I'm sorry
Blushing, Eranthe mumbled, "Isn't it all taking advantage of me by you?"At his words, Colin leaned in for another kiss.Feeling a bit awkward, Eranthe said, "Let's have dinner first."In other words, the remaining time tonight belonged to him.Not being overly hasty, Colin picked her up horizontally and headed outside."How did you come up with making these dishes?"Just cleaning the scales off that fish alone would require some effort, and it was easy to imagine how troublesome it would be for her to handle it alone.Eranthe hooked her arms around his neck, feeling the man's powerful body through his suit jacket.To be fair, Colin was a very attractive man who drew women to him, or else he wouldn't have so many admirers. In terms of looks, Eranthe felt like she had hit the jackpot."Don't you like it?" she asked.Colin rare flashed a hint of a smile. The tension that was present in the morning had now dissipated."Yes, I do."Back in the living room, Colin placed her on the sofa. In

Chapter 23: Is this a ridiculous decision?
She always felt that her connection with Colin was just a fleeting encounter, far from being angry enough to be a boyfriend. In fact, in their kind of relationship, it would be best for each to return to their own rooms after satisfying each other. However, Colin didn't want to leave, and she was indeed tired, so she let him stay by her side.Colin, feeling helpless, pressed her back, "It's my fault. Why are you apologizing to me?"Eranthe remained silent. She was somewhat frightened by Dylan, and fundamentally, she was not a person with a sense of security, because no one knew better than her that in this world, she had no one to rely on."If being my woman means you don't even have the right to get angry, then it's my fault."Eranthe felt strangely comforted by his words. Yet, she couldn't help but wonder how many women he had said this to.But she actually found it useful. Perhaps it was because tonight's atmosphere was too beautiful, surpassing several previous occasions. He was v

Chapter 24: She was called for questioning
"Why did you take leave yesterday? You didn't reply to my WhatsAPP. I almost went crazy.""Your iced coffee." Eranthe took out a cup and handed it to her.Acacia teased, "You're trying to brush me off with this?""Forget it then." Eranthe pretended to take it back, but Acacia quickly grabbed it, took a sip, and raised an eyebrow. "Why do you still have your suitcase? Went on a trip?""No, ran into a little trouble." Eranthe then opened WhatsAPP. Acacia had sent her 30 messages. Eranthe had blocked her because she often forwarded boring and funny words."Don't bother reading. I'll tell you quickly. Have you heard about Dylan's situation? It's trending in our local hot searches."Eranthe nodded. It was related to her after all."Just for this?""Of course, it's not enough." Acacia looked around, then lowered her voice. "Because his dad, Eric, is suspected of corruption, and everyone he promoted is under investigation. Guess what? Mr. Harris and Galina were both summoned."Mr. Harris had

Chapter 25: Could the company even consider firing you?
Women in the workplace often face more malice than expected. Many men unintentionally show disdain for various aspects of women. It's like standing on a high and mighty position, criticizing any behavior they find unpleasant, and not thinking they have a problem.From childhood to adulthood, their environment has fostered a culture where they can criticize women on various aspects of their lives, even attacking their character face to face, making lewd jokes and using vulgar language during social gatherings, boasting about their romantic exploits. However, if a woman does the same in a similar situation, it is considered immoral and emotional.Eranthe's accusations caused a rift within the investigating trio.Now, attention turned to the third person, and David asked, "What do you think?"The man glanced at both of them and said, "It was indeed excessive."David, feeling helpless, stood up and said, "Well, it was my mistake. I apologize. So, can you continue to sit down and cooperate

Chapter 26: I can tell you confidentially
She tossed the tissue into the wastebasket, "Let's go."Back at her desk, Eranthe began to review the work from last week. It was impossible to say that she was completely unaffected, but she couldn't imagine standing up and having a heated argument face to face with these people.Of course, she didn't believe that keeping quiet would make these people stop, but she also didn't want to give them the satisfaction of seeing her succumb.In the afternoon, a message was sent to the company's employee email, and it was reposted on the Ashly Group forum, intensifying the situation.The title of the post was straightforward, grabbing everyone's attention.[Dreams of Wealth Shattered, Boyfriend Jailed, Instantly Finds a New Sugar Daddy?

Chapter 27: You have a friend request!
Eranthe even wondered if, at Ana's age, she would have the same determination to relinquish her established territory and open up new horizons."I can only achieve so much in Ashly Group. As a woman, you should be able to empathize, especially as a beautiful woman."Beautiful women often face stereotypes and negative evaluations, such as being considered less intelligent, emotional, or subjected to unwritten rules.The path for women in the workplace is much more challenging than for men. In the current high-level decision-making circle of Ashly Group, there is only one female executive, and she only holds shares.Someone like Ana has indeed reached the ceiling. In her position, she has been there for seven years.Mr. Harris delegated authority and promoted Galina, indicating someone's intention to take control of the administrative department.However, Ana was not willing to let go of what she had worked hard for. If she were to pass it on, it would be to someone she could cooperate

Chapter 28: I underestimated you
"Yes, Mr. Rodriguez."He looked at his phone again, and by now, everything had calmed down on the other side. His face inexplicably darkened, leaving the subordinate manager who was reporting a bit nervous.Eranthe had completely put him out of her mind because she had just noticed something more important."Ms. Jenny Brown is at Emir Beauty Center. I need to go there.""Her? Forget it. She previously said she wanted to borrow our venue for her birthday party and even mentioned that if it went well, her husband's annual meeting would be held at our hotel. In the end, she handed the deal over to Galina. Remember how Galina acted all high and mighty last year? Are you still going to see her?"Eranthe didn't have time to grab her bag. "When Ana asks, just answer like that. I'll go and confront Jenny. You'll find out later."Acacia was puzzled but could only nod.At Emir Beauty Center.When Eranthe entered, she also brought some snacks for the front desk staff."You haven't been here for

Chapter 29: Focus on dealing with scumbag men!
Eranthe shrugged. "Ms. Brown, if not you, there's still Ms. White, Ms. Black, or even Ms. Green. Someone will eventually refuse to endure this injustice."Jenny hadn't expected Eranthe to be capable of such things. "Did you arrange for someone to take those photos?""We work in the same department. Seeing each other frequently, it's wise to be cautious. You never know when you might need something like this." Eranthe answered candidly.Taking a deep breath, Jenny said, "You can leave."Eranthe didn't plan to stay longer. She figured that Jenny, as a client, would no longer have any contact with her in the future. However, it was worth it.As Eranthe took a few steps, Jenny suddenly spoke again, "If you were in my shoes, what would you do?"Eranthe tilted her head. "Dealing with women is boring. The key is how to deal with men. You know, without Galina, there will be other women. Take men's money. So, focus on dealing with scumbag men. Once and for all. It's much smarter than physicall

Chapter 30: Was this still the Colin she knew?
Colin, on the other hand, seemed to be angry with her. His eyes were cold and icy as he stared at her for quite a while."Alright, alright, staring at someone like this isn't very gentlemanly. She won't escape in a moment," Frank chuckled, trying to ease the situation. "Go change your clothes?"In places like this accessible only to VIP clients, even the clothes were custom-made by specific brands. Eranthe was about to mention that she didn't bring tennis attire when a waiter promptly brought in a set.Fiona had already headed to the lounge Frank had arranged. Eranthe stood there awkwardly, touching her forehead."Miss, this way, please," the waiter astutely opened a resting room for her.Eranthe nodded and took the clothes into the room. The space was larger than she had expected, more like a complete suite than a simple lounge. The bathroom even had frosted glass, and inside, there was a large bed. The balcony outside overlooked the landmark buildings of Assyria City.As Eranthe ope
