Eranthe was still standing there, stunned. Colin opened the door on her side and looked at her blank expression, raising an eyebrow. "Are you out of it?"Could Eranthe say that she was a bit weak-kneed from being shaken by his words just now?"You're not going to play any castle imprisonment or dog-leg-breaking in the future, are you?"Colin was speechless."Are you fucking kidding me of fucking you?"He didn't lower his voice, and Eranthe saw that people passing by were all looking over, so she quickly came out and covered his mouth."Can you please watch your language?"Colin lowered his gaze to the hopping woman in front of him and pulled her into his arms. "Instead of wasting time with wild thoughts, why don't you come home with me and get some exercise?"Eranthe was half embraced by him, her feet almost off the ground, annoyed. "I was too tired last night; I don't want to move today.""I see you're quite energetic, it's not that you're tired, you're not tired enough."Eranthe bit

Perhaps his behavior was just his way of expressing happiness.She bit her lip and reluctantly said, "Next time, please don't do that. I don't like it when people suddenly hug me."Even if she treated him like a little brother, he wasn't her real brother. They were both adults, and such behavior wasn't appropriate in public.Eranthe decided to say whatever came to mind, not wanting Jayden to misunderstand anything.Jayden's smile softened slightly. "Got it."With that, Eranthe turned and walked away, urging him to leave. "You should go now.""Okay," Jayden replied.Jayden saw that she insisted on watching him leave before turning away himself.Eranthe let out a sigh of relief, feeling a bit puzzled by the situation.She looked at the bag of fruit in her hand and felt that she owed him something in return.As she climbed the stairs and entered the apartment, she didn't hear the sound of cooking in the kitchen. Inst

"She's downstairs drinking. She also asked me to pass on a message to Mr. Rodriguez to take away the things left at her house, or else she'll throw them away."Frank's expression darkened. This wasn't going according to plan. How did things escalate so quickly?Eranthe finished her drink in one gulp and got up to pay.The bodyguard approached her, "We'll cover the bill."The bartender recognized him, "Alright."Eranthe slammed her hand on the table and told the bartender, "I'll pay for my own drinks. Give me another one."The bartender looked at the bodyguard, who nodded at him.Eranthe nodded as well, "Okay."She took out her wallet, threw a few bills on the counter, grabbed her bag, and left.The bodyguard was dumbfounded and quickly caught up, "Miss. Taylor, Mr. Rodriguez is upstairs. Please don't leave."Eranthe chuckled with exasperation, "Do you think your high and mighty Mr. Rodriguez knows that you're bloc

This realization eased Colin's deathly stare slightly."Mr. Rodriguez, Miss. Taylor has arrived at the hotel," one of the bodyguards reported.As an internal employee, Eranthe had no trouble checking in and went straight to her pre-booked room.This wasn't her first time at Davis Hotel, which boasted scenic views away from the city center. However, the hotel wasn't profitable at the moment due to its remote location. The nearest tourist village was still advertising, and the project was running at a loss.Without needing assistance, Eranthe headed directly to the room she had already booked.The plan was to attract sponsors for the hotel, promoting the brand and enticing tourists looking for an oxygen-rich experience to come and stay.Eranthe, feeling miserable and empty-handed, had managed to hold off sleep after having two drinks on an empty stomach.She tossed her bag aside and headed straight to the bathroom to remove her makeup.

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
