    Chapter 37 Confrontation on All Sides


    Erin’s answer clearly made Chandler unhappy.


    “Why are you not divorced yet? Are you ignoring my wishes, Erin?” Chandler looked right in front, but


    Erin could sense him gritting his teeth.


    The tension in the car was so palpable that Erin could feel her hair stand. She didn’t want to aggravate


    him, so she said feebly. “My husband-”


    Chandler cast her a murderous gaze. “How dare you still call him your husband!”


    Erin immediately corrected herself. “He insists on having a child before getting a divorce.”


    “What the fuck?”


    What she said stunned Chandler so much that he swore.


    “I also thought that what he said was nuts! I didn’t say yes! But he is an erratic imbecile–I can’t do


    anything about it! When I returned him the five million dors previously, he almost…”


    Chandler narrowed his eyes and asked in a quiet yet dangerous voice, “Did he touch you?”


    “No! He failed to!” Erin quickly exined. She had a vague feeling that ifn really were to do


    something to her, she would have died a terrible death.


    She was very sure that Chandler was an authoritarian control freak! Sean’s messages previously had


    told her so too.


    Chandler didn’t find her exnation satisfactory, but he said nothing more. The mood in the car was


    frosty as they traveled in silence for the rest of the journey.


    After parking the car in the office’s underground parking lot, Chandler got out with a darkened


    expression, not looking at Erin at all.


    Erin’s back was drenched in a cold sweat as she watched him stride into his private elevator. When


    Chandler didn’t say anything, she was so frightened she was in a daze, speechless.


    Getting in the elevator, she found it unbelievable how she could be so afraid of Chandler. Just one look


    was enough to scare her half to


    death.


    Time flew quickly in the design department. Erin was as busy as a bee. Ever since she left Sean’s


    cest night and returned home, she hadpleted the design draft for thepetition. Not long


    after she sent the draft to Caleb, she received Jte’s call. She nned to ask the other two


    designers during lunch how she was taken away by two menst night!


    Soon, it was lunchtime. E and Milly deliberately came over to invite Erin for lunch. Since Erin couldn’t


    find the two designers that were with her the night before, she decided to go for lunch with E and


    Milly first.


    At the staff’s cafeteria, E found an empty booth and ced her tray there before waving at Erin and


    Milly toe over.


    Once they sat, Milly said mysteriously, “Erin, did you hear? Caleb fired Jte and the two designers


    this morning!”


    Erin was so shocked she almost dropped her cutlery. What shocking news!


    “Why were they fired?” If the reason was drinking with the clients, she had done that too the night


    before.


    Milly chuckled rather sarcastically. “It’s an absolutely legitimate reason. They say it was because the


    business they took on recently was too crass, ruining thepany’s image! Two days ago, I heard


    from the other designers that Jte would force female designers to drink with clients! I can’t believe


    a hugepany like this would need a business like that!”

    E, chewing on her salmon, shook her head and said, “Only Jte would do such a thing. She wants


    a higher sales record to gain the director’s attention. It’s not the first time that she has done such a


    thing! Only that she got unlucky this time, being exposed for her wrongdoings! I heard that Caleb was


    so furious he told them to leave immediately, but since Jte had worked here for a long time and


    had contributed much to thepany, he didn’t make them pay for the loss thepany incurred. If


    not, Janelle might go bankrupt and would still be unable to pay thepany back!”


    Erin ate in silence. This matter would not havee to light if it were not for her. It was good that a


    person like Jte was fired. preventing other female colleagues from going through what Erin went


    through.


    After all, even if they were not at Frost Corporation, they could still find work in otherpanies. It


    wasn’t as if they were banned from the design industry; only their reputation would suffer a little.


    E, Milly, and Erin returned to the office after lunch.


    When it was close to the end of the day. Holly called Erin’s officendline.


    “Erin,n called me this afternoon. He returned your phone and bag and asked that you return his


    jacket too. His wallet and cards are in


    that jacket.”


    “Okay. Holly, can you tell him to wait for me in the office? I’ll return it to him-”


    Holly interrupted her. “He said not to go to the office. He said if you want to return the jacket to him, go


    home and return it to him. He also said that if you don’t go, he won’t return your ID to you.”


    “Fuck! That imbecile!” Erin could not help but swear. The designers around her suddenly looked up at


    her. She awkwardly lowered her head and said softly. “I’ll hang up first. If there’s anything else, we can


    talk about it at home.”


    The moment she hung up, Dana’s voice rang out from behind her. Dana said in a seemingly


    deliberately loud voice, “Erin, who were you talking to? Was it your husband?”


    Erin jumped. She turned around and saw Dana; Caleb was also standing not far away.


    At that moment, Caleb was looking at her with aplicated gaze.


    Seeing how Erin didn’t reply to her, Dana continued saying. “Erin, why are you not answering? Are you


    shy? It’s nothing to be shy about! It’s the end of the day, so it’s okay if you use thepany’s line to


    call your husband. The Frost Corporation won’t care about those few cents.


    Erin retracted her gaze from Caleb and looked at Dana. She did not know why, but it felt like Dana was


    targeting her today. Dana was smiling casually, but what she said felt a little hostile no matter how Erin


    thought about it.


    Erin didn’t dare to look at Caleb. She felt as if she was lying to him, even though divorcingn was only


    a matter of time, but from a legal point of view, she was indeed still married and not single.


    Dana stood there, not intending to move. Erin could not get her to leave, so she turned around and


    shut herputer, casually saying.” The person on the phone just now was not my husband.”


    Upon hearing that, Caleb left quickly, as if he wanted to get away from her as soon as possible.


    Dana witnessed Caleb leaving, which made her unspeakably delighted! She said to Erin, “Oh, I see!


    Alright, it’s time to call it a day. I’ll go shut myputer too.”


    After Dana left, Erin got up, preparing to leave the office. When she left, she sensed the other


    colleagues casting her disdainful nces. She had previously hitched a ride from Caleb, and many in


    the design department had heard about it. They thought she liked Caleb, yet they never thought she


    would still be such a floozy even when she was married.


    After Dana’s questions, her image in the design department had gotten worse.


    Five minutester, Erin walked out of the office building. At the thought of Caleb’s gaze at her a


    moment ago, she felt guilty and a little


    sheepish too.


    She thought about the question Caleb had asked her in his office. She took a deep breath and decided


    to head to the parking lot to try her luck. Perhaps she could bump into Caleb; if she did, she would


    exin herself.


    However, she merely turned around when she saw Caleb standing before her. She was so stunned that


    she stood there nkly.


    At that moment, Caleb had a frosty look on his face. His tone was icy. “Erin, I want to hear what you


    have to say.”
