Chapter 77
Chapter 77 You’re The Only Exception
“Well, aren’t you so full of yourself! Me, jealous of you? Don’t make meugh!” Holly snorted.
Eugene was not in the mood to continue bickering with her, so he picked up his phone and car keys
and went to the front desk. to pay for dinner before leaving.
Seeing as the night ended poorly for everyone, Holly thought of inviting Erin out for dinner another day
to make amends. She decided that their friendship must be mended at all costs.
Just as Erin exited the elevator and was about to walk out of the building, she was met with Sean
shortly after.
“Kindly get out of my way, please,” she ordered as she red at him coldly.
“I wasn’t the one who made you angry just now, so you shouldn’t take your anger out on me,” he said
innocently.
“What do you want?” she snapped impatiently. It was the first time she had a scuffle with her best friend
over a man she hated, so she felt it was all for nothing. She was also disappointed in the way Holly
treated her tonight.
“It was your best friend who asked me toe after you, by the way. It seems like she’s seen the error
of her ways and was too ashamed to apologize to you in person, which was why she asked me to send
you home instead,” Sean exined seriously.
That instantly made her feel better, but it didn’t take her long until a flicker of doubt shed across her
eyes. “Did she really, though?” she questioned.
“You can call her to ask if you don’t believe me,” he said helplessly.
“Forget it. Now I don’t know what I should say to her,” Erin said, lowering her gaze.
“Let’s go. I’ll send you back. I guess I have to fulfill my duties now since I gave Holly my word. Then
again, I would still send you back even if it weren’t under her orders,” Sean remarked. He looked like a
gentleman with the way he tried to lead her to the parking lot.
Seeing her frown and sensing her hesitation, he joked, “Are you perhaps scared that I might molest you
on the way?”
“What the hell, you wouldn’t dare!” she growled, ring at him.
“Right this way, please,” he said and chuckled.
Ten minutester, Sean sped down the streets in his ck Ferrari.
He was driving so fast too. Erin had been ustomed to riding in Chandler’s Maybach, so she couldn’t
help but feel a little ufortable in his sports car, especially when her stomach was still churning with
a full meal of lobster not long ago. Now that she was sitting in the passenger’s seat, she felt the faint
urge to vomit.
“Can you not drive so fast, Sean? I don’t feel so good.” Erin whimpered as she put one hand to her
mouth, her face already somewhat pale.
Sean looked at her from the corner of his eyes, his gaze a bit nervous now. “Don’t tell me you feel like
puking? For the love of God, please don’t puke in my car,” he pleaded.
Who the heck would like it if anyone puked in their car?
Even after slowing the car down, he would still sneak nces over in Erin’s direction to keep an eye on
her.
Her forehead started breaking out in a cold sweat as she suddenly announced, “You might want to pull
over soon. I think I’m almost at my limit.”
“Fine…just bear with me for a while more. I’m pulling over now!” Sean frowned in disgust but was still a
little worried about her, at the very least.
Five minutester, Erin could be seen half–kneeling on the side of the road, puking everything she ate
that night onto the
ground.
Sean merely stood to the side with a conflicted gaze. As a clean freak himself, he couldn’t even stand
his own vomit, let alone. the vomit of others. He had never taken care of anyone in his life up until now.
Even when his friend Logan got drunk and vomited up a storm, he got the bar staff to attend to him.
Now that he was staring at Erin, who had her back hunched over to him, he could only stand in ce
and didn’t dare approach
her.
As he swept his gaze over the passersby around him, he could feel their looks of disapproval on him,
as if they were scolding him for not taking good care of Erin.
While he wanted to tell them that she wasn’t his girlfriend, he was afraid that he’de off as
ungentlemanly to everyone if he did.
In the end, Sean decided to dig into the trunk of his car for a fresh bottle of mineral water and get a box
of tissues from the back seat before handing them all to Erin.
Erin had already painfully made herself get up from the ground at this point. “Thanks,” she mumbled
weakly, taking all the items from him.
After rinsing her mouth with the water, she dabbed her lips dry with the tissue. Later, she used a bunch
of tissues to cover up the vomit on the ground. She scanned her surroundings and noticed a
convenience store chain not too far away up ahead.
Just as she was about to make her move, she suddenly turned around and told Sean, “You can go
home first. You don’t have to worry about me anymore. I’m just going to drop by the convenience store
to borrow some cleaning supplies to clean up the ground for a while.”
After hearing her say that, Sean immediately froze on the spot, and a strange feeling surfaced in his
heart. He wanted so badly to call her an idiot at that time!
She wanted to clean the streets? Really?
But seeing how serious she looked, he didn’t outright say that to her face.
“You must still feel nauseous after throwing up, so just rest in the car while I drop by the convenience
store to get everything. “With that, he turned around and left in stride.
While staring at him running off in the distance, she started to get the feeling that he wasn’t that bad of
a guy after all. At least he didn’t just outright leave her on the side of the road.
Not long after, Sean returned with the cleaning supplies. When he walked up to Erin, he asked in
surprise, “What are you standing here for? Didn’t I tell you to rest in the car?”
“I was scared I’d make a mess in your car,” she exined.
“Come on, am I that bad? I can just wash it afterward!” he eximed.
“It’s fine. Now just hand those to me so I can start cleaning,” Erin said, stretching out her hand.
He hesitated for a second before frowning at her, “You don’t have to! Let me be the good guy today!
Just get in the car. Let me clean up!”
Erin shook her head and retorted, “Don’t act like you know how to clean. Let me do it myself!”
To her, she was just stating the truth. How would a gentleman like Sean even know what cleaning up
after someone is like?
However, he seemed to have dismissed everything she said. “Don’t look down on me, Erin!” he replied,
upset. “I insist on cleaning today!”
“Are you sure?” she finally said, not wanting to argue anymore.
“Yes, I’m sure! So stop bbering already!”
Hearing that, Erin shrugged and returned to her seat at the passenger’s side before shutting the car
door.
A minuteter, when she looked out the car window, she saw the man frowning as he began cleaning
up the ick on the ground.
She didn’t know whether to sympathize orugh at him. She also didn’t understand what he was trying
to prove to her. It wasn’t like she was going to give him a gift or anything for doing so either.

After he was done, he went and returned all the cleaning supplies.
Fifteen minutester, the both of them drove away from the scene.
In the car, Erin nced at him and asked, “Why did you insist on doing that for me? It was obvious that
you were reluctant
from the start.”
As his mind circled to the incident, it took some deliberating in his heart before he replied, “I’ve decided
that you’re the only one I’ll make exceptions for, Erin! If it was your best friend, Holly, I would have left
her behind and driven away a long time ago!”
Erin was at a loss for words after hearing that. It was obvious that he wanted to me her for
everything, yet she couldn’t help but feel like he was trying to tell her something else.
“How did you and Holly even get to know one another?” She changed the topic.
With how well she knew Holly as a friend, she deduced that a yer like Sean definitely wouldn’t have
been her first choice. Even if Sean was good–looking enough to charm arge crowd of young girls, it
wasn’t like Holly was some dumb highschooler in love.
“What are you, jealous?” he snorted.
She didn’t know how to respond to that. “It’s so tiring talking to you, Sean!” she grumbled.
