The heavens were truly kind to her, gifting her with such a naturally beautiful appearance, making her life simpler than that of ordinary people.
"It seems like you didn't take my warning to heart that day."
"Warning?" Ana retorted, unwilling to show weakness.
"How about it? Do you think I don't have this ability? Or perhaps you believe that I have some charm, enough for Colin to notice, and it's my good fortune. I should use this time to leverage all the resources and means at my disposal, find a way to gain something, after all, I might fall out of favor soon. And you, using me as a stepping stone, smoothly passed through your career transition. This move is so perfect, seamless, like a pie falling from the sky, a deliberate assistance for your successful plan."
Seeing Ana's expression, Eranthe knew she had hit the mark.
"So, you couldn't wait to tell Vice President Hill, the one behind the scenes, about this news, hoping that he would also make
"I've dropped her off before, right, Eranthe?" Justin asked.He deliberately spoke ambiguously, considering Eranthe's recent promotion and the fact that the leaders have high expectations for her. Her future looks bright, and she has an attractive figure and looks. She's practically the best choice within their range of potential partners.Although Eranthe had been with Dylan before, what did that matter? Based solely on looks, it was enough to make people infatuated. The male colleagues had similar thoughts, and Justin naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to establish a connection.However, Eranthe waved her hand, "Someone is picking me up."Ana was somewhat surprised, and right at that moment, her husband had arrived. Before leaving, Ana also scanned the parking lot.ASSYRIA was filled with luxury cars, and it was really hard to tell anything."What are you looking at?""I'm wondering if Colin will come.""What?" Ana's h
"Aren't you craving ice cream?" Colin pointed to a convenience store ahead. "I'll buy you whatever you want, okay?"Eranthe sniffed. "I want honeydew flavor, in a cone, with a chocolate piece at the bottom, that one tastes the best.""Alright." Colin grabbed her. "If you're going to throw up, I won't buy it for you.""Why are you like this!" Eranthe stomped her foot but involuntarily followed him.With a flushed face, she went straight into the convenience store without waiting for Colin.Colin rubbed his forehead. He saw her standing in front of the freezer, staring at the ice cream."Which one do you want?"Colin didn't eat these, so naturally, he couldn't recognize what she wanted.Eranthe pointed with her finger, "This one, and this one, I want them all.""You can only choose one." Eating so much, can her stomach handle it?"You're so stingy!" Eranthe couldn't believe someone wouldn't even buy ice cream!
Instead, she quietly followed him like a well-behaved child.But Colin knew she must be drunk; otherwise, she wouldn't be so emotionally exposed. Even if she was provoked by him, she had never been so hysterical before.Upon entering the room, she stood there, and Colin crouched down to help her take off her high heels. Eranthe stared at the top of his head in silence."I didn't lie to you; I didn't exaggerate. They are really bad.""People can truly be this malicious.""These hands of mine were supposed to play the violin. I shouldn't have learned to fight with them.""But if I don't protect myself, no one will protect me." She choked up as she spoke.Colin stiffened, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He carried her to the bathroom and gave her a bath, washed her hair, and even removed her makeup. He took it step by step, very delicately.But Eranthe's words didn't stop.She spoke about how sad she was when her fa
Morris stepped back, frowning. "Stay away."Scarlett, easily provoked, decided to act out. "What's wrong, don't like me? Then why are you here? Want to enjoy the show for Eranthe?"Morris stared at her expressionlessly. "You are one of the most foolish people I've ever seen. I wouldn't be interested in how you associate with those hoodlums. But when it comes to Miss Taylor, you are seriously affecting my life."If she messed with Eranthe, Colin would get upset. If Colin got upset, then Morris wouldn't have a good night's sleep. All things considered, Eranthe was someone Morris couldn't touch.Scarlett sneered, "Have you slept with Eranthe a few times? Can't bear to part with her so much?"Morris frowned. "Watch your mouth. There are some things I wouldn't bother telling someone like you."Scarlett, furious, directly splashed the water from the table towards Morris. He slightly moved to the side to avoid it, but his suit jacket still got a li
Seeing her so spirited, Colin leaned against the head of the bed and didn't say anything. He really hadn't slept well; she had talked in her sleep a lot during the night. Also, he needed an extremely quiet environment to fall asleep, and now his mind was foggy."Getting up so early to make breakfast for me?"Eranthe said with a bit of irritation, "There are only a few eggs in the fridge. Eat them if you want.""That works. I think you still have some whole wheat bread left," he said. He was well aware of her daily routines, and for the sake of convenience, she often grabbed something on the way to work.For breakfast, she preferred something simple and straightforward.Eranthe thought about how she could prepare him a lavish breakfast at home while here he was settling for a poached egg. There was a feeling akin to a prince visiting the civilian households.She went straight to the bathroom. "You should get up too. I need to go to the office
Colin smiled brilliantly and warmly.He left the neighbor dumbfounded, "Young man, you're too good-looking."Compliments about his appearance were the most common he heard throughout his life.Once the neighbor went off with her grandson, Eranthe muttered, "How can you deceive people like that, talking about sending wedding candy when you're not planning to marry?""Should I tell her I don't get married?" Colin didn't see any problem with his answer, casually pulling Eranthe forward."Is your driver here?" Eranthe didn't continue the previous topic."Yeah," Colin replied, and Eranthe saw the Bentley parked at the entrance of the residential area.After getting into the car, Morris turned around to greet them, "Mr. Rodriguez, Miss. Taylor, good morning.""Good morning, Mr. Jones," Eranthe responded. Her mood today was relatively good, perhaps because she had shed a good cry last night and had managed to adjust herself.In
"What's up? I'm almost late for work. Is there something urgent?"Amanda was dressed in a new luxury outfit, even her accessories were from a prestigious brand.Unfortunately, the front desk employees were not in the mood to compliment her today. They inquired, "Mr. Jones will personally welcome someone today."Amanda frowned, "He didn't tell me anything. What's going on?""The CEO's office just called us. They said an employee from Ashly Group is coming, and Mr. Jones will personally receive them later."Amanda was puzzled and looked towards the reception room.Eranthe was sitting upright. When Amanda saw her, she furrowed her brows. Wasn't this the woman she saw in Mr. Rodriguez's room that day? She thought she was Mr. Rodriguez's girlfriend, but now it seems she's from Ashly Group? How did she end up handling the Chamber of Commerce activities?Amanda was disgusted by the thought of someone resorting to unethical means.Aman
Taking the pass, Eranthe began receiving a tour from Morris, who explained the various departments of the company, including the businesses currently operated under the Rodriguez Group.Amanda found the situation quite strange. Normally, the Human Resources department handled such matters. What kind of status did Eranthe have for Morris to be her guide?Morris handed an iPad to Eranthe. "These are the companies we've invested in and the industrial chains we're part of. If the brochures aren't clear enough, you can directly view them here. It's an intelligent system, and if you have any questions, you can click on the cloud for intelligent playback. There's also a large exhibition hall on the third floor where outstanding employees and achievements are showcased annually. It should be more helpful for your work."After all, organizing business events was about showcasing the style of various companies. The information compiled in these brochures would be sent to
