Chapter 25


    Chapter 25 Hero to the Rescue


    In the subway on the way to work. Erin recalled Mary’s words and decided she had to get a divorce as


    soon as possible. Otherwise, Mary would continue to urge her to have a baby. Mary had been


    pressuring her about it at least once every month for the past six months.


    She sent a message ton. “When do you have time? Bring the relevant documents. Let’s go to City


    Hall and get a divorce.”


    Ten minutes passed, but she didn’t receive a reply fromn. Erin then called Holly.


    As soon as the call was connected, Holly said, “Erin, you didn’t letn have his wayst night, did you?”


    “No, I slept in the guest room. His mother came and will be staying for a few days. But I won’t go back


    to the vi today. Let’s meet tonight.”


    Holly sounded relieved. “I’m telling you, don’t contactn again. Or else, you won’t be able to get rid of


    him. Since you want to divorce, do it decisively…”


    “I know! Don’t worry. I’vepletely given up onn.” Erin’s voice was calm, but she still felt a pang of


    pain in her heart.


    “That’s good. By the way, do you have time tonight? If you don’t need to work overtime, apany me


    to a banquet. My dad has gone abroad for something, and my mom’s waist injury isn’t better yet. They


    asked me to attend the banquet on their behalf. The other party has business dealings with my dad.”


    Erin thought for a moment and decided to apany Holly. “Okay, if I don’t need to work overtime, I’ll


    let you know in advance.”


    “Okay, I’ll wait for your message.”


    After arriving at her office, Erin sat down at her workstation. Soon, she heard her colleagues talking


    about the 60th anniversary celebration theirpany was holding next Wednesday.


    Not only would the board members attend, but even the retired chairman and his wife would be


    present.


    The design department was already in chaos. The director hadn’t arrived yet, and everyone was


    chatting at their desks.


    “I’m going shopping for a dress right after work today. I have to prepare earlier for such a big event!”


    “Oh my, look at my memory. How can I forget such an important thing? It’s toote to lose weight


    now…”


    “Why do you need to lose weight? You already have a boyfriend. You won’t get any chance with the


    wealthy bachelors in thepany!”


    “I’m so excited! I heard we can see our president at the 60th anniversary celebration!”


    “I heard from people in other departments that our president is a super handsome guy!”


    “Yes, I heard that too…”


    Erin didn’t participate in their discussion and immediately immersed herself in work.


    Unlike her colleagues, who were very interested in Chandler, she had mixed feelings when she thought


    about him. She even felt somewhat


    afraid.


    Not only was it because he had her pictures, but also because he was her immediate boss now, let


    alone the president of thepany. Even a director could bring her down.


    At this moment, Caleb appeared, and the chatter died down immediately.


    Standing straight, Caleb spoke in a cold tone. “In ten minutes, I will announce the theme of the internal


    competition in the design department. You have three days to submit your entries, and the top three


    winners can participate directly in the design project open tender for Truffleberry Media.”


    An eager look shed across the eyes of all the designers present, including Erin’s.


    Truffleberry Media is one of the top mediapanies not just in the city but in the whole country. No


    doubt, the designers who participated in the project would receive a generousmission if they


    managed to secure the deal.


    Before leaving, Caleb said, “The person who wins first ce will be my design assistant in the future.”


    Instantly, chatter broke out. As soon as Caleb left for his office, the designers immediately whispered to


    each other.


    Erin listened to their conversation and learned that Caleb had not hired a design assistant In three


    years. This was extremely surprising!


    If she really became his design assistant, she would not only have the opportunity to travel abroad


    frequently, but her sry would also triple!


    Moreover, her year–end bonus would be double the monthly sry of the president’s assistant. Not to


    mention the privilege to participate in major design projects…


    All the designers aimed to be Caleb’s assistant. Even Erin was tempted.


    Unfortunately, they only had three days to submit their entries. Everybody in the design department


    was fighting for it.


    Ten minutester, the designers received Caleb’s email regarding thepetition theme and


    requirements. After reading it, Erin continued working.


    She worked continuously until lunch, during which she only ate a sandwich before reusming work.


    Finally, shepleted all of her work before leaving the office.


    Since Erin didn’t have to work overtime, she sent Holly a message lo inform her that she could


    apany her to the banquet.


    At nine o’clock in the evening, Holly drove Erin to a private vi.


    As soon as they entered the banquet hall a tipsy man identally spilled his alcohol on Erin’s dress.


    Holly scolded the man, but Erin stopped her. “Holly, forget it. After all, this is your father’s business


    partner’s banquet. We better not offend anyone. What if they are also one of your father’s partners?”


    “But Erin, your dress is dirty…”


    “It’s alright. Go ahead and entertain your father’s friend on his behall and give him the gift. I’ll go to the


    restroom and clean up.”

    “Erin, I’m really sorry.” Holly felt bad looking at Erin’s white dress.


    “Why are you apologizing? You go ahead. See youter.”


    Erin went to the restroom near the banquet hall. She was surprised to find several women in formal


    dresses applying makeup, leaving no room for her to stand.


    Left with no choice, she headed to the restroom upstairs instead.


    She spent nearly 20 minutes cleaning up the red wine stain, but there were still water marks on the


    dress. She used tissue paper to absorb them several times, but they were still visible. Her innerwear


    was slightly revealed due to the water.


    Sighing, Erin walked out of the restroom. Looking messy, she stood by the railing in the corridor.


    At this moment, a foreigner walked out of the men’s restroom and stared at Erin’s beautiful figure from


    behind. He walked up to Erin and smiled in a somewhat lecherous way while asking casually. “Miss,


    how much for one night?”


    Although the foreigner was slurring, she still understood what he meant. She scolded him immediately.


    “Are you crazy? What do you take me for? Get lost!”


    Her words and reaction angered the foreigner. He raised his hand and was about to hit her while


    cursing.


    Terrified, Erin stepped back. Just as the p was about tond on her face, a hand appeared to grab


    the man’s hand. The person punched the foreigner hard.


    The foreigner was thrown to the ground with a bleeding nose. He was so stunned that he couldn’t get


    up for a while.


    With a gloomy face, Chandler said, “You must have a death wish.”


    Soon, two ck–d bodyguards came and bowed in lear. “Sorry, Mr. Frost…”


    “Throw this trash out of the vi.”


    “Yes, Mr. Frost!”


    The bodyguards dragged the foreigner away immediately.


    Although Erin was surprised to meet Chandler here, she still thanked him.


    Chandler looked at the elegantly dressed Erin with a hint of restrained anger in his eyes. When he saw


    the water stain on her dress, his


    eyes darkened. He was so angry that he grabbed her arm and walked forward quickly.


    Erin trotted after him awkwardly while asking. “Hey, where are you taking me?”
