Chapter 54 Jealousy and Mockery
At that moment, Erin was the only person left in the office. As Chandler never said he needed her to
trante the agreement urgently, she wanted to leave as well. “I’m not going to work overtime for
someone like him!” she thought.
She took her purse and wanted to go meet her coworkers.
Milly and E had sent her text messages, saying they had something important to tell her.
When Erin was about to leave, she received a call from an unknown number.
“Erin, you’re so busy, huh? I sent you a few messages, but you never replied. Don’t tell me your
ount got hacked?”
Surprised that the caller was Sean, she asked, “Howe you have my number?”
ying poker at his friend’s private club, he had a cigarette in his mouth. “It’s easy to get a phone
number, okay?”
“Have you received the jacket that I sent back?”
“Yes, but it seems to be torn
Erin frowned. “That’s impossible! Even if it was torn, I had nothing to do with it. You should ask the
courierpany to
Seanughed. “Rx. I was just pulling your leg, okay?”
“I’ve no time for your stupid joke. If you have nothing else to tell me, I’m hanging up.” Having to rush
over to meet E and Milly. Erin had no mood to talk to Sean.
Sean heard her impatience tone and allowed her to end the call.
Forty minutester, Erin arrived at a restaurant by taxi.
As she took her seat in the private room on the second floor, Milly asked, “Erin, do you know that Caleb
fired Dana?”
“What? Dana was fired? I thought she took leave to go back to her hometown.” Erin was astonished.
Milly and E exchanged a look, and thetter chuckled. “Looks like you truly didn’t know about it.”
E told Erin what happened, and Erin realized the design department hadn’t publicly announced
Dana’syoff yet.
She didn’t expect Dana would hire someone to create the design for thepetition.
Milly asked Erin. “Now that you’ve be the president’s assistant trainee, can you tell us what’s your
rtionship with Caleb? Dana told us that you…”
Seeing her odd expression, Erin asked, “What did she say about me?”
Milly nced at E, who then teasingly said, “Dana said you fell for Caleb. But aren’t you married?
Are you and Caleb…”
“How could Dana spout such nonsense? I haven’t fallen for Caleb, and I’m already divorced!” Upset,
Erin made it clear.
The shocking news of Erin’s divorce stunned her two colleagues, who then exchanged several nces.
Milly asked, “Why did you divorce your husband all of a sudden?”
Erin didn’t know how to exin to her. “Am I supposed to telln’s affair to others again and again? My
own situation is pretty messed up!” she thought.
“I don’t wish to talk about the divorce anymore. As for Dana spreading lies about me, I’ll just take it as a
misunderstanding on her part.” Erin stiffened her face and stopped talking.
Milly had always been envious of Erin having a rich and handsome husband, so she couldn’t help
wondering why Erin divorced
him.
She let out an insincere smile. “Don’t hide it from us, Erin. We’re not going to tell others, okay? Level
with us. Does your divorce have anything to do with Caleb?”
Milly narrowed her eyes and continued, “Or is something going on between you and Mr. Frost?”
At the mention of Chandler, E excitedly said, “Oh my god, have you met him? I heard he’s even more
attractive than a movie star! Rumors say he has a special parking space that connects directly to his
private elevator, and regr employees like us would never get to see him unless he summons us!”
“Yeah, Erin, you’re the assistant trainee now. Whose office do you share with? Mr. Frost’s assistant?”
Upset by their questions, Erin thought about the trouble she was in and wanted to just leave.
She was smart enough to realize that Milly and E were treating her as fodder for the gossip, and she
wanted no part of it.
“If Milly and E find out I’ve be Chandler’s secret lover, who knows what lies they would spread
about me?” she
wondered.
Erin got up and said cidly. “My divorce has nothing to do with Caleb. Anyway, I’m feeling unwell, so I
better get going.”
“Erin, we’ve ordered. Eat first before you leave…” E said, standing up as Erin headed out.

“No, thanks. You guys enjoy your meal. Bye.”
Seeing Erin shut the door behind her, Milly looked upset and snorted. “What kind of attitude was that?
She’s only just be an assistant trainee, and she’s already acting so arrogant. Did she expect us to
fawn over her?”
E sat back down and nced at Milly. “Take it easy. People always forget their friends when their
lives take a turn for the better. Although she’s just an assistant trainee, even an idiot knows she has
more authority than people like us. Anyway, I wonder if Erin has gotten the job through her rtionship
with Caleb.”
E continued, “You still remember I told you that Caleb and the president are rted, right? If Erin is
seeing Caleb, then it’s likely that he persuaded Mr. Frost to give her the job.”
Milly let out a look of disdain. “She managed to advance her career using a man. What’s the fucking
point of working hard and doing overtime like we do?”
E nced at her and teased, “Milly, you can also find someone to back you up, can’t you? Aren’t you
quite close with Mr. Jones? If not, why would he tell you what happened to Dana? Are you guys…”
Milly hastily said, “Cut that out! Mr. Jones is seeing someone, and we’re just friends.” She saw E’s
smile and added, “It’s true! Nothing is going on between Mr. Jones and me.” 1
Unconvinced, E chuckled. “It’s okay. If Erin could make Caleb her boyfriend, there’s no shame if you
make Mr. Jones yours, is
there?”
Sensing her mocking tone, Milly grew upset. She gave E a cold look and suddenly said, “I forgot to
tell you something. I saw your husband give roses to a young and pretty girlst time. Is she his
cousin?”
