Chapter 10 A Handsome Man to the Rescue
After dinner, Holly drove Erin home. Because the Royal Chamber was a high-ss private nightclub, it
was inappropriate to show up wearing their work uniforms. Holly walked into the wardrobe and picked
an outfit out for Erin from a row of nightclub outfits.
“Erin, whenever you’re free, we should go buy some new clothes. I haven’t bought any new clothes in a
week!”
Erin had just finished her shower and had a towel wrapped around her head. She walked toward the
wardrobe and removed the towel while drying her hair.
“I’m afraid I don’t have much time these days, I just joined a newpany so I have to be more
proactive! I heard from the other designers that they usually work overtime. Besides, now that I am
divorced I don’t need to dress up anymore. I will be going home tomorrow to move all of the clothes
that I want here to your house.”
Holly agreed, “Okay, we can go shopping once everything has been settled. What time are you going
home tomorrow? I’lle to help you move your luggage.”
“I’ll tell you tomorrow.”
“Okay, I don’t have anything to do tomorrow anyways”
The two women started doing their makeup while chatting, Holly had chosen a unique dress for Erin.
The dress had a mermaid cut with ombré green sequins and two thin shoulder straps that looked like
they would snap with a simple tug.
Erin stared at her face in the mirror, Holly was truly talented at doing makeup. Her hair was in loose
waves, and one side of her hair was tucked behind her ear. There was also a star-shaped pearl
barrette clipped onto her hair. On the whole, her outfit made her look just like a mermaid.
Holly held an eyeshadow palette and watched Erin worriedly, “This man is crazy to leave so many
visible marks on you.”
“Forget it, I’m just going to change into another dress. This one is too revealing!”
“No! If I were to wear this dress, I would look like a slut but when you wear it, you look so pure! Erin,
just wear this dress to look for your prince charming tonight.”
In the end, Holly used foundation to cover up the marks on Erin’s. At 8 pm, Holly and Erin arrived at a
private room at the Royal Chamber. Ben and three other colleagues had already arrived and everyone
was dressed to the nines. After some light conversation, the drinking and singing began.
Milly and Ben were ying a drinking game whilst Dana and E selected songs to sing. On the table
was some food and there was also one big bottle of champagne and two bottles of red wine. Holly
inched closer to Erin and whispered in her ear, “Your ex-boss is quite generous, I estimate that he has
spent at least 100 thousand dors just on tips.”
A message popped up on Erin’s phone screen with a ding. She looked at the sender ID and stood up.
“Holly, I’m going to the bathroom.”
“But isn’t there a toilet in the room…?”
Holly trailed off without finishing her sentence as Erin had already sped out of the private room.
Standing in the corridor, Erin unlocked her phone and saw that the sender ID was “Psychopath.” The
message read, “Meet me at the usual spot, if you aren’t there in an hour then the pictures will be…”
Shit! It was like the man was addicted! Erin walked back into the room, apologized, and left early.
Although Holly allowed her to leave, she made Erin promise to give her a proper exnation once she
got home.
While walking through the corridor, a fat, old man came out of another private room. Once he saw Erin,
he said, “Prettydy,e keep uspany in here and we’ll give you more tips.”
He said all this while reaching out his chubby hand toward her. Erin swiftly dodged his hand and
scolded him, “Are you crazy? What do you take me for? Lunatic!”
She wanted to move past him and continue forward, but the old man roughly dragged her from behind,
and in an instant, one of the straps of her dress snapped. Erin was startled and quickly held up her
dress with both hands.
“Bitch, you’re already here as an escort yet you’re still pretending to be so innocent and pure.”
The old man had already raised a hand to p her but his arm was suddenly flung away by another
man’s hand. The old man staggered.
Dressed casually, Sean’s alluring eyes were icy.
“Mr. Beck, did you have too much to drink? Can you not differentiate the outfits of these beautiful
women? Why don’t you take a closer look at these two women next to me.”
Mr. Beck sobered up slightly when he saw that it was Sean who stopped him and fearfully nodded.
“Oh, it’s you Mr. Dunn, what a coincidence.”
Looking at the two high-ss female escorts nking Sean, it was clear that they were dressed quite
simrly to Erin. However, closer inspection of the women’s outfits would reveal that Erin’s dress was
very expensive and iparable to the dresses of the escorts.
Mr. Beck broke out into a cold sweat. The patrons of this establishment were all wealthy. If he ended up
offending a VIP, then he would never be able towork and mingle in this industry again.
“Mr. Beck, shouldn’t you apologize for treating a beautiful woman with status like this?”
Though Sean said this with a smile, his entire being was radiating waves of hostility. Mr. Beck shivered,
he could not determine the rtionship between Erin and Sean but what if she were Sean’s woman?
He was so frightened by this thought that he started trembling and immediately apologized, “I’m so
sorry! I did not realize you were such an important person, please forgive me.”
Sean waved a hand to dismiss the two female escorts and side-eyed Mr. Beck, “You are not needed
here anymore.”
Mr. Beck hastily walked away, Sean was an indomitable force in this industry and was not one to be
messed with! And if Sean was an indomitable force, then he did not even want to think about the
legendary Chandler Frost.
“Thank you for just now, but I’m in a bit of a rush so I will be leaving first.”
Seeing that Erin was about to leave, Sean strode forward with his long legs, determined to escort her.
When they got to the outdoor parking lot, Erin waited for a taxi.
Sean smiled, “Miss, your dress strap.”
Only then did Erin realize that she looked unhinged holding on to her dress with both of her hands. But
what was she supposed to do with the broken dress strap?
“If you don’t mind, I can help you.”
She looked up at him and saw that he had a humble expression on his face. She hesitated, then
agreed, “Thank you for your help then.”
“No problem at all, it’s an honor to help a prettydy.”
Sean’s alluring eyes watched her, brimming with ulterior motives. Erin blushed and lowered her head.
Long, elegant fingers tied the broken dress strap into a bow and, to make both sides of the dress
match, he also tied a bow using the opposite strap. Now that the straps were raised, the dress was
transformed into an off-shoulder style dress.
Taking out a mirror to inspect her reflection, Erin said, “It looks quite nice, thank you.”
“Since you are so thankful, why don’t you give me your number?” Sean’s true intentions were
unabashedly revealed on his handsome face. Erin who was originally quite grateful suddenly felt
disgusted. It was almost like he was undressing her with his eyes.
“I don’t think that’s necessary!”
Erin gave him an icy re and then got into the taxi. Watching the taxi leave, Sean stood rooted to the
spot, stinging from his first taste of failure.
His friend came up from behind him and said, “Sean, it’s rare to see you with such a longing
expression.”
Sean turned around and smiled, “What longing expression? I was such a gentleman just now and yet I
still did not get that woman’s number. There’s just this burning sense of thrill in my heart.”
“You don’t need a thrill. Later, I’m going to find you a high-quality woman guaranteed to satisfy you
tonight!”
Sean’s friend put his arm around his shoulder and guided him back into the Royal Chamber. Under the
dim yet brilliant lights, Sean looked at his fingers and reminisced about the feeling of Erin’s skin and
gave a drunken smile. He was surprised, no woman has ever piqued his interest so easily before.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.
