Chapter 41: Your boss lacks humanity
Colin remained silent.Eranthe bypassed his intentions and continued speaking, "As you know, in large corporations like this, there are too many people more capable than me."Her educational background wasn't even the highest. When interns like her joined their company straight out of college, a simple inquiry revealed that they either had influential backgrounds or strong qualifications.If she settled for a position without challenging herself, she would never achieve the life she wanted.Colin said, "Learning from this won't get you anywhere. I'll have Morris send you some materials tomorrow and connect you with someone..."Eranthe looked at him, pursing her lips, "Materials are fine, but..."She hadn't finished her sentence, but her intention to make things clear was evident.Colin stared at her, "Actually, you're a smart person. You know the opportunities in front of you are to be seized. Whatever you want, you can get it from me. You can avoid struggling for a lifetime."More th

Chapter 42: He mentioned planning for her future
In novels and TV dramas, it was as if they were on standby 24 hours a day, ready to work.Colin responded in a cold tone, "Unless it's a special circumstance, I won't lack humanity. Besides, my special assistant is not a woman."Eranthe, while zipping up her dress, frowned. "Are you discriminating against women?"Colin leaned against the door, calmly explaining, "Calling a female employee to fetch documents late at night. Who would be responsible if something bad happened?"That made sense, and Colin could see the understanding in her expression. "Let's go," he said.Eranthe grabbed her bag and followed him out.When she was about to put on high heels, Colin picked out a pair of flat shoes. "Wear these."Since her ankles were scraped and bleeding, she decided to listen to him. After all, tonight was not about attending a meeting, so she didn't want to wear high heels.Once they got into the car, Eranthe realized that Colin was playing the role of her driver tonight."Thank you for ton

Chapter 43: He really looks like Colin
"No, I won't be able to sleep even for a few minutes."Ana's house was quite quiet, located in the back of the villa area. After Colin parked the car, Eranthe whispered, "I'll be back soon.""Okay."Colin followed her out of the car and watched her go inside before leaning against the car and lighting a cigarette.Ana seemed a bit impatient, taking the files from Eranthe as soon as she entered.After making a call and sorting everything out, she said, "Sorry for calling you out at night and forgetting to offer you a glass of water."Eranthe smiled, "It's part of my job. If there's nothing else, Ana, I'll leave now.""I'll call a cab for you.""No need." Eranthe refused, and Ana looked at her."I came with a friend.""Boyfriend? What does he do?"Seeing Ana's curious expression, Eranthe reluctantly explained, "Really, he's not my boyfriend.""Then a pursuer. Don't worry; I'm not so strict as to disallow subordinates from dating. It seems I disturbed you both tonight." Ana stood up, rea

Chapter 44: Why should she let Galina off the hook?
During this half month, the hottest topic in Ashly Group was the Miller family's case.Eranthe had also been to the police station for an investigation, all arranged by Morris with a lawyer accompanying her. So, she hadn't encountered Alice Miller in the meantime.Now, the talk among colleagues had shifted to sympathizing with Eranthe."Good thing you broke up with Dylan, getting rid of a scumbag early. Otherwise, you'd be in big trouble.""Yeah."They spoke while watching Eranthe's expression, trying to get some feedback and satisfy their gossiping mentality.However, Eranthe's reactions always disappointed them; she seemed indifferent to everything related to Dylan.Adding to this, wherever Ana goes these days, she takes Eranthe with her, making it clear that a promotion is in the works. Mr. Harris has also been reassigned from his position, and it seems like the department head role will fall onto Eranthe’s shoulders. None of her colleagues dared to say anything to her face.Once A

Chapter 45: Colin was sitting next to me.
If Galina wanted to blame someone, she should blame herself for being too dirty. It wasn't as if Eranthe had "easy target" written on her forehead.Galina thought that bullying her once meant they could do it again? She was underestimating Eranthe, and Galina was overestimating herself."You're the one who harmed me! It's you!" Galina grabbed her bag and tried to hit Eranthe.Luckily, Acacia had sensed something was off and grabbed her from behind, "Hurry to help me!"Several male colleagues rushed to pull Galina away as she still tried to attack Eranthe."It's because of you! I won't let you off! Eranthe, just wait for me!"Eranthe looked at her colleagues with a bemused expression.She said, "The rumors end with the wise. Don't falsely accuse me based on your own behavior. If you think it's me, feel free to report to the police and let them trace the IP address. "At this point, Eranthe smirked and continued."By the way, I forgot to tell you, the company has long found out that you

Chapter 46: How can a handsome guy not have any selfie photos?
Acacia was surprised. "Oh, you know Colin? How come I didn't know?"Oriel raised an eyebrow, "I know him, but he may not remember me. We were two years apart when we were in school. Later, during an event in Germany, I approached him for a chat. He was as cold as an ice cube, asking me to contact his assistant if I had any questions!"Rolling her eyes, Oriel added, "Finding a partner for someone like him would be challenging if it weren't for his wealth. If he's not rich, he might have to wait in line for a few lifetimes."Acacia shrugged, "With that face, why worry about his love life? Better to worry about what we're having for dinner tonight.""Good point, hahaha." Oriel got into Eranthe's car.As they left the parking lot, they saw a line of cars passing by.Acacia, envious of Colin, also took the opportunity to catch up Oriel on what had happened during her absence from Assyria."What's going on? That jerk Dylan dared to block you? What a scumbag!" Oriel's voice also rose."Let i

Chapter 47: He is also here
The three turned to look at the entrance, and the person at the door also seemed surprised.Zora frowned at Eranthe and, rolling her eyes, said, "Why is it you?"Eranthe pursed her lips, finding it quite inexplicable.Wearing an expression as if catching an adulterer, Zora glanced at Eranthe and her two female companions before leaving on her own.Oriel was puzzled, "Isn't that Zora?"Acacia didn't know who she was talking about, "Who?"Oriel enjoyed a bite of peony shrimp, savoring the dense texture in her mouth."She's the daughter of the owner of Peterson Pharmaceutical Co. She's simply infatuated. Wherever Colin goes, she follows like a stalker. People in their circle avoid her when they see her."Oriel, having participated in local business events due to her father's connections, naturally knew quite a few heiresses. She was already familiar with the gossip about Zora's obsessive love for Colin."If Colin is so easy to pursue, he'd have to draw lots every night before going to be

Chapter 48: The enemy of an enemy is a friend
Zora and her group stared daggers at Eranthe's table, but they couldn't say anything in front of the men. Zora directly headed towards Colin's position.However, Colin merely lifted his eyelids slightly, and the people around him immediately laughed, preventing Zora from squeezing in.Oriel sneered, "See that? Seeing is believing."Anyone here was not someone Acacia dared to mess with. She didn't dare to intervene and just wanted to leave. Even if they were given top-notch ingredients now, she wouldn't be able to swallow them.Someone asked Oscar, "Why didn't you introduce the people you brought?"Oscar chuckled, "I didn't expect to run into you all. This is Oriel."Oriel raised her glass towards the others, introducing herself and her profession. Being a social media influencer in the realm of gourmet food was still relatively novel, and the men found themselves chatting easily with her.Knowing that Eranthe and Acacia worked for Ashly, a few even exchanged business cards, expressing

Chapter 49: I think we can skip the collaboration
Colin's time, where was it readily available? Not outright refusing Zora's request was already good enough for her.However, Eranthe had directly knocked away the hand that was moving upward. Inadvertently, she hit his watch, and it hurt Eranthe so much that she almost cried.Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Colin's warm palm had already gripped her fingers. Eranthe couldn't pull it out, and her face turned red with anxiety.In Zora's eyes, it seemed like Eranthe was deliberately acting shy to seduce men.On her side, Zora's little sisters also noticed and whispered, "Look at her, she can't do without a man. Even in front of you, she doesn't show any restraint.""Yeah, Zora, if you don't give her a lesson, she'll think you're easy to bully."Zora had long been confused by Eranthe's behavior, forgetting how she had pushed herself against the stairs that day. In her eyes, this woman acted differently in front of men and women.A typical two-faced person, but men seemed to fa

Chapter 50: Help me investigate someone
Colin had invested in a medical project, and the news had spread throughout Assyria. Those who could associate with Colin were generally profitable. If Colin didn't give you face, no one would be willing to give you another chance.Peterson Pharmaceutical Co. had faced difficulties in the past two years, mainly due to the excessive family-oriented internal structure of the group. There were relatives and friends everywhere.Despite Oscar's considerable efforts to get a share of the pie, Colin decided to kick the Peterson Group out due to Zora's foolish behavior.Oscar, disregarding his dignity, immediately stood up and said, "Colin, Zora is young and doesn't know how to speak. I apologize on her behalf.""No need," Colin said, placing his glass down.Oscar, losing face, directed all his anger towards Zora. In front of so many people, continuing to argue with Colin and retracting his words would only embarrass Colin.So, he calmly smiled and said, "Alright, let me apologize to everyone
