Chapter 105 Faith and Betrayal

Delighted, Sean said, “He came back just last month! Right now, he needs an assistant on an internship basis. His former one is giving birth next month. He was the one who asked me to help him find a reliable assistant who can handle any hardship. I thought of you immediately. Aren’t I a great friend?”

If Sean were asking her to be his assistant, then Erin would reject him immediately. However, now she was to be Roman Blair’s assistant. Honestly, she was quite tempted.

Although Erin stayed silent, Sean could tell from her tone that she was indeed interested. He said seriously, “Erin, I’m only telling you about this because I’m confident in your skills! If you didn’t have the skills to shine and rise up to the challenge, I would never risk my reputation and recommend you to him. I’ve already given you the opportunity. It’s not my problem if you. give up on it.”

“I accept!” Erin said solemnly.

This was the kind of opportunity that didn’t come every day. It was an honor to be able to be Roman Blair’s assistant!

Sean was overjoyed. However, he put on an act and asked, “What did you say?”

Erin repeated, equally serious as before, “I accept.”

“Great. Since you’re taking the job, I’ll give him a call and tell him about it. No taking it back! A man’s only as good as his word. I’m a person who keeps my private and professional matters separate, so I can recommend you, but he might not pick you. It’s all up to Roman in the end.”

Grateful, Erin said, “Thank you, Sean! I’ll do my best!”

“Wait for me to send news,

then.”

Erin was anxious as she said, “Wait, don’t hang up! Could you give me some relevant information? I’ve never been a celebrity’s assistant before, so I have no experience at all. I would like to practice a bit before meeting Roman.”

Sean really admired her go–getter attitude. “It’s great that you’re so self–aware. I really do think you have a chance. Give me your email address, and I’ll send you the requirements for being a celebrity’s assistant in general and Roman’s requests in particular. Have a look at those first, alright?”

“Thank you! If I really get hired, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

“Alright. I’m looking forward to it!”

After putting his phone down, Sean looked at the detailed information on Erin that he had on his desk. He leaned into his seat, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

At the same time, everyone at the Frost Building was experiencing a morning of fast–paced work.

Chandler was putting all of his focus into his new eight–billion–dollar collaborative project. Right then, Kyle brought Logan into the office. Once Kyle left, Chandler put all of his work aside for the time being.

He looked at Logan and said directly, “You never show up for no reason. Considering you’ve come here personally, you must need something. Am I right?”

Logan had been wearing a heavy expression ever since stepping into the office. Now, he forced a laugh. “Your deduction is impeccable; you got it in one go! Since you’ve guessed it, I’ll keep this short. Can you stop the investigation you got Mr. Larson to conduct?”

Chandler’s gaze darkened. He asked, “Why?”

Logan hesitated, looking visibly torn. However, he knew that Chandler would definitely not let things go if he didn’t tell the truth. “I’ll be honest with you. You know that Mr. Larson is my uncle. When he went to my place for dinner last night, I asked him for the surveillance footage. I know that woman. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“She played bridge with Yvonne once. From what I heard, that woman’s husband went bankrupt, and it was Yvonne who helped her get through the situation. I’ve already verified it with her through the phone–she admitted that she was the one who sent that woman to poison Erin!”

Chandler’s eyes were frosted over with a layer of ice. Coldly, he said, “Yvonne’s gone mad! Is it because she thought that were cheating on her with Erin that she did such a horrible thing?”

Logan himself knew how ridiculous this situation was. Miffed, he stood up and ran his hand through his hair. “I told you long ago that she’s not mentally stable! She was used! She regrets it already and knows that she messed up! Now, she’s so terrified that she doesn’t even come to see you. She’s scared that you won’t let her off.”

Feeling completely helpless, Logan added, “When it comes down to it, it’s all my fault. I knew Yvonne’s condition all along, but I still went and investigated Erin. That’s what caused the misunderstanding. I nearly hurt Erin!”

Chandler regarded him with an icy gaze. “Are you here to beg me for mercy on Yvonne’s account?”

“Chandler, I know it’s selfish of me to ask, but even though I’ve broken up with Yvonne, she was with me for five years. If I don’t help her, no one will! I can’t bear to see her be sent to prison at her age. Please think about our twenty–year friendship, and help me just this once. I’ve never asked you for anything before! Please give Yvonne the chance to start anew.”

Logan’s voice carried true sincerity and imploration. Thus, Chandler’s heart softened when he witnessed how Logan begged when he never had before.

He asked, “Where’s Yvonne now?”

“Her father sent her abroad for psychiatric treatment two days ago,” Logan replied.

“Hmph. You’ve already sent her away. What’s the point of begging me now?” Chandler said sinisterly.

“As long as you want to, you have the means to drag her back no matter where in the world she tries to hide. Isn’t that right, Chandler?”

Chandler remained silent as he stood before the floor–to–ceiling windows, his back facing Logan.

Ten minutes later, he turned to Logan and said, “Just this one chance! If Yvonne makes another dumb move, no one can save her anymore!”

Logan let out a breath. “I understand. Don’t worry, I guarantee her good behavior. Thank you, Chandler.”

“Leave then.” Chandler couldn’t be bothered to spare Logan another glance. He walked straight back to his desk to continue working.

Before he left, Logan said, “You’re an exceptional man for being able to investigate Erin’s case even though the rumors of her and Matthew are so rampant right now.”

Chandler still didn’t look at him. He scoffed. “Just because Erin was unfaithful doesn’t mean I’ll be as wicked. Even if she weren’t my woman, she’s still an employee of Frost Corporation. As its president, I have a responsibility to fulfill when it comes to the safety of each and every one of my subordinates.”

Though Chandler said this, Logan didn’t believe such crowd–pleasing corporate drivel. If the matter involved another employee, would Chandler really have been so concerned?

“Chandler, listen to my advice! Whether or not Erin really betrayed you, letting go of her may not be a bad thing, especially now when you’re not completely crazy for her. When it comes down to it, you two come from different worlds.”

Even after Logan left, these words of his echoed in Chandler’s mind.

At five that evening, Kyle brought in a delivery from a courier service located in the same city.

“Who sent it?” Chandler gave the item on his desk a cursory glance.

Typically, Kyle would open and immediately handle such deliveries personally. Since this one had been brought to him. without being opened, Chandler knew that it had to be a personal document.

Chandler’s eyes sparked with interest, but he pretended not to care. “Open it.”

“Yes, sir.”

Once Kyle opened the envelope, the look in his eyes showed curiosity and admiration. He immediately said, “Mr. Frost, Miss

Lane sent the chairman’s fifty million back! The keys to your BMW are here too! And…”

Chandler suddenly whipped his head up. “What else?”

“And Miss Lane’s resignation letter.”
