Chapter 115


    Chapter 115 Money Woes


    Erin sat on the sofa, holding her phone. She’d just gone through all her contacts on her phone.


    The first person to be ruled out was Chandler. She had repeatedly reinstated that she didn’t get


    together with him for his money. Therefore, if she suddenly borrowed money from him, she would be


    eating her words and would get an egg on her face.


    Moreover, even if Chandler was willing to lend her the money, it woulde with the condition of being


    his lover. She would be unable to refuse! Doing this would put her in a dilemma. This kind of financial


    entanglement would taint their rtionship, making it impure. She wouldn’t be able to ept it deep


    down.


    Matthew and Sean may be good friends. But they weren’t so close that she could borrow eighty million


    dors from them. While Caleb was a wealthy person she could potentially borrow from, it wouldn’t be


    appropriate for her to do so either. If Caleb still had feelings for her, borrowing money from him would


    onlyplicate their rtionship further. On top of that, what if he didn’t have that amount of money or


    if he was unwilling to lend it to her?


    After contemting all those possibilities. Erin shot them down in her mind one by one.


    Thest person she thought of was her best friend, Holly, Although she owned two beauty salons and


    had a decent ie, she still relied on her family’s money asionally. Holly had been pampered


    since childhood and was used to spendingvishly. Her ie could never keep up with her exorbitant


    spending habits.


    If Erin asked Holly to lend her eighty million dors, it would be equivalent to asking Holly’s parents for


    the money. Owing to that, even Holly was excluded from Erin’s list of potential people to borrow money


    from.


    The helplessness upon realizing that money was scarce when she needed it made Erin mope in


    silence for one whole hour. Only when her stomach growled with hunger and her headache intensified


    to an unbearable point did she finally get up?


    Erin mechanically prepared a bowl of oatmeal for herself and ate it. Her mind wandered to her new


    boss, Roman. She couldn’t help butugh at the thought of asking Roman for an advance payment of


    eighty million dors of her sry.


    “My, oh my. Who would be willing to lend me eighty million dors?” She couldn’t help butment that


    the economic crisis Steven faced

    this time was also her own.


    She knew that Steven was at his wit’s end.n had offered to lend her moneyst night, but she’d


    already rejected him. No matter how desperate she was, she couldn’t ask him for help. 1


    Erin’s gaze drifted around aimlessly, and the calmness she felt started to wear off as time went by. She


    began to feel panicked internally. Would she really have to witness her own biological father go


    bankrupt?


    Suddenly, her line of sightnded on the ss tray next to the vase. There was her wallet, keys,


    MetroCard, supermarket membership card. and a light beige business card in it.


    Erin immediately got up, walked over, and picked up the business card.


    There was nothing on it except a name and a phone number. Staring at the business card, Erin


    recalled what the person had said to her before. She felt the impulse to give that person a call. Perhaps


    borrowing money from someonepletely unrted was the best way!


    Any legal contract or promissory note wouldn’t be a problem for her. As long as the other party was


    willing to lend her money, she would


    dly sign anything. At this point, she had run out of better options, so she had to try no matter what.


    Nervously, Erin dialed the phone number.


    The dial tone repeated itself six times without anyone picking up on the other end. Feeling


    embarrassed, she quickly hung up.


    Erin instantly regretted her impulsive action. After all, the other person was practically a stranger to her.


    Erinughed at how foolish she was to think that they would lend her eighty million dors.


    Suddenly, her phone rang–that person called back!


    Erin’s heart raced. She’d made the call earlier, so it wouldn’t be good for her to not pick up the call now.


    Out of reflex, she answered the call.


    “Hello, I’m Louis. Was it you who called earlier?”


    His voice was deep and pleasant, and he spoke in a gentlemanly tone. Despite being of mixed


    heritage, Louis spoke Coandrian very well. Erin thought he sounded as proficient as the broadcasts


    she heard on the national radio and television.


    Mustering up her courage, Erin spoke, “Yes, I… uh


    me.”


    I’m Erin. You gave me your business card before. I’m not sure if you still remember


    At that moment, Louis had just woken up. Hezilyy on the bed in his vi in Aunder.


    When he heard it was Erin, he immediately sal up. There was a faint hint of excitement in his voice as


    he replied, “Miss Lane, I’ve been waiting for your call”


    Erin was slightly surprised. “You were waiting for my call? Why?”


    “I wanted to know if you’d thrown my business card away.” Louis‘ lips curled into a shallow smile. The


    business card he’d given her at the Grand Oyster Restaurant had his personal phone number, known


    only to a select few.


    Erin awkwardly chuckled. “Why would I throw it-”


    “For you to call me, you must be facing some difficulties. Am I right?”


    Louis went straight to the point, but his tone was sincere, making it hard not to spill the beans. In the


    heat of the moment, Erin went ahead and blurted, “I’m indeed facing some trouble.”


    *Please tell me all about it, Miss Lane. You don’t need to be mindful of anything or hold yourself back. I


    was very rude when we first met and have been wanting to make it up to you. If I can be of help, it


    would be my pleasure to assist you.”


    A warm feeling enveloped Erin’s heart. Although she hardly knew Louis, and this was the first time


    she’d engaged in a conversation with him over the phone, she couldn’t help but want to give the earlier


    thought she’d given up on another try.


    “I’m doing fine. I just wanted to confirm if your phone number was invalid.” Erin cursed herself for being


    cowardly. The words were right at the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t say them.


    A warmugh could be hearding from the phone. “Miss Lane, I know that you may not consider


    me a friend yet, but my desire to help you is genuine. I don’t know what I can say to make you trust me,


    but I believe time will prove my sincerity.”


    Regardless of whether he was really sincere, Erin was truly moved by what he said at the moment.


    After pausing for a few seconds, she suddenly asked, “Louis. if I told you I wanted to borrow eighty


    million dors from you, would you think I’m a scammer?”


    On the other end of the phone. Louis’s grayish–blue eyes brimmed with delight upon hearing her ask


    for money. He was afraid she would ask for too little. Eighty million dors was substantial enough for


    her to genuinely owe him a favor.


    Louis said earnestly, “Of course not, Miss Lane. After we hang up, please send your bank ount


    details to me.”


    His words left Erin dumbfounded. “Is he really lending me the money just like that? He can’t be joking


    with me, can he?” Erin contemted.


    Erin thought that he didn’t hear her clearly, so she immediately asked, “Louis, did you hear me


    correctly? I said I want to borrow eighty


    million dors from you!”


    She emphasized the word “million” heavily, afraid that Louis might misunderstand and think she meant


    eight thousand dors.


    “I didn’t hear you wrong. Miss Lane. I have something to attend to right now, but I’ll call you backter.


    Don’t forget to send me your bank


    ount details.”


    Erin nodded. “Okay, you go ahead, then.”


    After hanging up, Erin’s heart remained restless. It took her a long time to finally send her bank ount


    details. In truth, she still couldn’t believe that Louis was willing to lend her money. Until she finally saw


    the money in her ount, she would remain fidgety and unsure.


    To distract herself from thinking about the money. Erin started packing her suitcase. She would be


    going to Fleuverton City tomorrow to work with Roman on the set. From tomorrow onward, she would


    be Roman’s work and personal assistant. There was a lot for her to adapt


    and learn.


    Just as Sean had spected, Erin’s current assistant trainee sry reached a grand amount of lifteen


    thousand dors. It was much. higher than when she was a designer at Frost Corporation.


    In order to focus more on her work, she’d already put her online store up for sale. The buyer look over


    everything and paid Erin three hundred thousand dors in one go.


    An hourter, Erin received a text message from the bank on her phone. When she opened it, she


    jumped up in astonishment. Louis had indeed transferred eighty million dors to her!


    Seeing it with her own eyes, she felt relieved. The amount of trust Louis had toward her and his


    willingness to help her touched her deeply. and brought tears to her eyes.


    Just as she was about to send a text message to tell Louis that she’d received the money, Erin’s aunt,


    Charlotte Wright, called.


    As soon as she answered the phone, she heard Charlotte crying anxiously. “Erin, do you know where


    May is?”
