Chapter 29 Secret Video

Erin didn’t expect that Caleb, who was cold and biased against her, would ask such a question.

She was unsure of the meaning behind his question, but regardless, she was not so self–obsessed as

to believe that Caleb was interested

in her.

As someone who was about to divorce, she was no different from someone who was single.

“No, I don’t.” she answered.

Caleb’s hand around the steering wheel tightened slightly. He said nothing more, but his lips curled into

a slight smile.

Erin glanced at him sideways. Since he wasn’t speaking, she remained quiet too.

The two remained silent all the way until they arrived at the company’s building.

After they got out of the car in the underground parking lot of the building, Erin saw Chandler, who’d

just gotten out of his car. He stared at her with his dark and sinister eyes.

At the moment Caleb got out of the car, Chandler turned and walked toward his private elevator.

Erin felt her heart clench with fear. Chandler seemed like he wanted to kill her.

Surely she must be overthinking.

Caleb was about to walk forward when he saw Erin rooted to the ground. He turned around and said,

“Erin, you have a lot of work to do

today. You’ll need to work overtime.”

Snapping back to her senses, she asked. “Huh? Why?”

Caleb walked away without saying anything else.

Erin hurriedly caught up with him, and they took the employee elevator upstairs together.

In the elevator, Erin heard a text message alert from her bag before asking Caleb her question. It was

from Chandler, and she instantly lost

her mood to talk.

She kept feeling like he would settle scores with her later.

Erin walked stiffly with Caleb to the design department, and many colleagues saw them arriving one

after the other. They suspected that Erin and Caleb had come together.

After Caleb entered his own office, Dana walked over in a tight black dress. Her makeup was slightly

heavy today.

She leaned in next to Erin and spoke loudly enough for everyone nearby to hear, “Erin, did you come

with Mr. Grant?”

Feeling somewhat guilty, Erin placed her bag on the table. She pretended to say casually, “I just

happened to bump into him.”

“Hah, happened to bump into him? You happened to bump into him and get a ride in his car? I really

wish I had such good luck!” Janette. the head designer, walked into the design department leisurely.

Janette wore a fashionable Chanel summer outfit with red–framed glasses and her signature bright red

lipstick. She tied her hair in a high bun that gave her a retro and trendy look.

Everyone present heard what she said.

Janette cast Erin a glance and walked into her office.

Erin froze in place. Dana told her in the pantry that Janette had a crush on Caleb, and it was a well–

known secret in the design department.

Many of the designers in the room glared at Erin. Most of the employees in the design department were

female, and the male designers were all married.

Meanwhile, Caleb had outstanding looks and an impressive background. He graduated from a

prestigious university and came from a wealthy family. He was also single, which made many of the

single female designers in the department secretly admire him.

Their envy and hostility toward her grew when they heard their innocent director had allowed Erin to

hitch a ride. Not to mention, Erin was

an outsourced designer.

“Erin, is what Ms. Williams said true?” Dana wanted to make things clear.

At this point. Erin didn’t want to continue this topic. She replied, “Dana, I have a lot of work to do. I’ll get

back to you later.”

With a cold face, she left Dana behind, feeling embarrassed and angry. She started her work

immediately.

As soon as Dana left. Erin took out her phone and checked the text message from Chandler. It said,

“Come up and see me.”

She checked her work schedule for the day first and was surprised to find that Caleb had already sent

her the tasks via email.

Upon seeing the contents, she took a deep breath. She definitely had to work overtime.

Looking around sneakily, she noticed that everyone’s attention was no longer on her. Erin stood up and

went to the elevator.

She had to sneak out of work like that every time. Sooner or later, she would be caught playing truant.

In no time, she arrived at the president’s office and knocked on the door. After getting permission, she

entered.

She stood by the door for a full 20 minutes, but Chandler didn’t look up at her. He let her stand there,

doing nothing.

After another five minutes, Erin couldn’t help but ask, “If you have no other business, I’ll go back to

work first.”

“Did I tell you to leave?” His voice was so cold that he seemed to be angry.

She said, “Since you’re so busy, I’ll go then…”

Seeing that Erin was about to turn and leave, Chandler put down the pen in his hand and said in a cold

voice. “If you dare to leave, I’ll post your photos online.”

Erin’s anger surged in her heart. She turned around and said, “Chandler, are you so bored that you

have to threaten me with the photos all the time? Are you even a man? What else can you do besides

threaten me?”

Chandler’s dark eyes narrowed slightly. Instantly, his expression turned murderous. He stared at her

like prey and said, “Erin, you are so naive! Do you really think that I have no other way to deal with you

except by using those photos to threaten you?”

“Hah, are you admitting it now? Are you admitting that you threatened me?” Erin asked through gritted

teeth.

Chandler looked at her arrogantly and uttered casually, “Yes, I admit it. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Erin stood still for a moment before striding forward to his desk and shouting loudly. “Tell me, what do

you want from me? I warn you. don’t push me too far!”

He took in all her bluster with ease.

He leaned back on his seat and leisurely rubbed his chin with his index finger. “Let me think.”

He pretended to think for a while before leaning forward and interlocking his fingers on the desk with a

slight smile. “How about this? Stay by my side for three months, and when the time’s up, I’ll return all

the photos to you.”

Upon hearing his words. Erin clenched her fists. She couldn’t understand why this man wouldn’t let her

go. Although he was handsome, he had an evil heart.

Not only did he threaten her, but he also played with her. She wasn’t the kind of woman who could be

manipulated at will!

Three months…

The period wasn’t that long, but it wasn’t short either. She was about to escape lan’s control. Did she

have to fall into Chandler’s hands now?

Right as she was about to agree, Erin’s pent–up anger suddenly exploded. A fierce determination filled

her eyes.

She took out her phone from her jeans pocket and entered the password to unlock it. Then, she

opened a video in a folder…

She tossed the phone on the table and sneered. “Chandler Frost, you forced me to do this! I recorded

this video in your office. If you dare

to share my photos online, I will sue you for harassing me using your position! If you don’t mind ruining

your reputation in front of all the employees and the media, I have nothing to fear! I can even quil and

settle abroad! I can leave this place!”
