Chapter 128


    Chapter 128 Set Things Straight


    This was the first time Erin heard Chandler speak to her like she was an equal. Universally, people


    should treat each other with equality and respect. But in Chandler’s world, he was quite used to others


    lawning over and ttering him. The fact that he was willing to change for her, however slight, didn’t go


    unnoticed.


    She looked deep into his eyes, and Chandler patiently awaited her response.


    Finally, she decided to ce the trust she held in her heart in the palm of his hand. “Chandler, I choose


    to believe in you.”


    His ck dark shimmered faintly, with a subtle glint of brightness shining from deep within. Her words


    gently reassured his unsettled and uneasy heart.


    A hint of delight crept up to his eyes as he held her hand and kissed the back of it. “Thank you for


    trusting me.”


    Erin smiled from the depths of her heart, and that smile captivated him. The next moment, Chandler


    stood up, walked to the desk, and picked up his wallet. Then, he returned to sit beside her, Erin


    curiously watched his actions and saw himke out a piece of paper that was folded into a neat little


    square from his wallet.


    After unfolding it, he presented the paper before her with a roguish smile. “Remember, from now on,


    I’m your new creditor.”


    Erin looked at the promissory note she had written for Louis, which had somehow ended up in his


    hands. With her mouth agape, she asked in astonishment, “How did it end up with you?”


    He lightly tapped her forehead and scolded her, “You little minx! Instead of borrowing money from your


    own man, you borrowed from someone you don’t even know all that well and is a total stranger. Can


    you afford to repay this much money?”


    Chandler’s expression revealed that he wasn’t the most pleased, but the faint indulgence in his words


    made Erin feel a bit spoiled. She asked, “You helped me repay my debt to Louis?”


    “Of course, do you expect me to wait around and let him find an excuse to pursue you?” Chandler gave


    her a look simr to how one would


    look at a na?ve teenage girl.


    Helplessly, she argued, “I had no choice… My father’spany.


    Chandler pinched her cheeks, adopting a parental tone while saying, “I already knew about your


    father’s situation. Actually, it was a trick yed by my father to force you to ept his fifty million


    dors. My old man loves to buy people’s loyalty with his wealth. You did well to


    not be swayed by money.”


    His heartfelt admiration shone through his eyes, and Erin’s eyes became slightly reddened. “Actually, if


    I were truly desperate, I might have


    borrowed money without considering the consequences


    Her candidness made him feel a pang of sympathy for her. He asked, “Do you know why I had you


    follow Roman?”

    Erin looked at him in surprise. She never expected that Roman’s choice would be rted to Chandler


    after all.


    Seeing that she didn’t know, Chandler took the initiative to exin. “I wanted you to learn more about


    interpersonal skills by being around him. You immediately gave up on us upon meeting my father. You


    didn’t even give me a chance to exin before you decided to cut me


    off. Do you know how mad I was at that time?”


    Chandler slowly let out everything he’d pent up in his heart, and his sincerity touched Erin greatly. Her


    hardened heart instantly softened. and she immediately apologized, “I’m sorry… I was really upset after


    meeting your father.”


    He took a deep breath. “It’s not entirely your fault.”


    At that time, he didn’t intend to tell her the truth either. But as time passed, Chandler felt highly uneasy


    about leaving Erin with Roman. The growing unease that things were starting to slip out of his control


    got to the point that he couldn’t wait to fly to Fleuverton City to see her in person and set things straight


    with her.


    He figured it all out. If he wanted to be with Erin, some things needed to be thoroughly rified.


    Otherwise, he might miss the opportunity and could only me himself for it when that happened.


    Seeing how he was ming himself, Erin couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. She reached out and took


    the initiative to hug him. In her rush tofort him, she even forgot that she wasn’t wearing any


    clothes.


    “Chandler, I want to tell you that there is nothing going on between Matthew, Roman, and me. If you


    hear any rumors in the future, please


    choose to belleve me, okay?”


    Her heart was filled with anxiety. Erin’s gaze locked onto Chandler’s ck ones unblinkingly, waiting


    anxiously for his affirmation that he trusted her.


    Her nervousness delighted him, and he pounced on her, pressing her down. “So, that’s why you so


    proactively embraced me out of your own volition-”


    Erin looked frustrated. “Can you be serious? I’m asking you a serious question!”


    Chandler held her face gently and spoke with certainty, “Silly woman, if I didn’t trust you, would Ie


    to Fleuverton City to find you?”


    Hearing him say he trusted her with his own ears, Erin’s heart overflowed with joy. She leaned forward


    and kissed his cheek.


    His eyes darkened. “You think you can cate me with just one kiss?”


    Half an hourter, Erin mewled pleadingly like a kitten, asking him to stop. He secretly scoffed at


    himself; he’d truly be addicted to her


    At that moment, a shrill telephone ring interrupted them, and Erin finally looked at the small rm clock


    on the cab with a shrivel of sobriety.


    “Oh no! I’m going to bete!” She immediately struggled to get up.


    Chandler’s face pulled down at that instant. “Don’t you dare leave, Erin!”


    She stretched out her hands to keep him at a distance, looking helpless. “I still have work-”


    He coldly challenged. “How could your assistant trainee job be busier than my job as the president?”


    Erin pointed at thendline phone. “It must be Roman calling *


    A sh of killing intent shed across Chandler’s ck eyes as he reached out and picked up the


    receiver. “Hello, speak up!”


    ..


    On the other end of the phone, Roman stood in the living room of his hotel room. Last night, Erin had


    agreed to go with him to the set in the morning to watch him film his scenes. Then, she would handle


    her phone matters in the afternoon.


    He just wanted to call and ask if she had woken up, only to be greeted by the voice of another man on


    the phone. This made him vaguely unhappy.


    “Chandler, have youe to Fleuverton City?”


    Chandler responded unabashedly. “Sorry, we’re busy. Erin is upied for the morning!”


    He mischievously ced the receiver aside deliberately. Then, he aggressively seized Erin and started


    another round of intimacy. Erin. couldn’t believe that Chandler could be so intense. In the heat of the


    moment, she involuntarily let out a sensual moan before she could


    cover her mouth.


    When Roman heard Erin’s seductive and enticing voice, he immediately understood what Chandler


    meant by being “upied.”


    Roman hung up the phone awkwardly with a displeased face.


    He had a strange feeling in his heart. Chandler’s actions just now were clearly deliberate. What did it


    mean? Were they a proactive


    deration of his territory?


    Chandler and Erin spent the entire morning in the hotel room, indulging in a seemingly never–ending


    bout of lovemaking. Every time she tried to get up, Chandler would pull her back.


    Meanwhile, Roman, who had been filming at the film studio all morning, unexpectedly lost focus


    several times. His absentmindedness left the director and crew puzzled. He was known for being the


    “One Take Wonder,” yet his performance on that day left much to be desired.


    Finally, Roman voluntarily requested a temporary break in order to get his act together. He went alone


    to the loft where Erin and Simon had been before.


    Standing by the window, dressed in the attire of an ancient prince, Roman gazed absentmindedly at the


    calm surface of theke. He held a cigarette between his fingers, which seemed somewhat out of ce


    with the costume he was wearing. The reason for his unsessful


    filming that morning was unexpectedly Erin.


    Her sexy voice on the phone stirred up a primal urge that he didn’t think he had. This sensation was


    new and unfamiliar to the man who had only ever been interested in the art of acting. Just imagining


    that side of Erin made it impossible for him to calm down.


    With his brows creasing up in deep worry, he couldn’t help but question whether it was a mistake to


    choose Erin as his assistant. He had given her the opportunity to get close to him, but on the flip side,


    he couldn’t truly get close to her.


    She was Chandler’s woman, and she happened to like him back.


    Roman took a deep drag and threw the unfinished cigarette into theke. He had quit smoking for five


    years, but he didn’t expect that today he would start smoking again because of Erin.
