Chapter 53 The Glory

What he said made Erin let out a cold chuckle. “Chandler, won’t my presence here annoy you?”

Hearing her mockery, Chandler got up and walked to her back. Bending over with his hands propped on both sides of her, he brought his face close to her neck and smiled. “It’s none of your concern.*

As she heard his magnetic voice, his breath fell on her neck, and Erin shuddered and dared not to move lest they would touch.

“Erin, aren’t you supposed to thank me for allowing you to work so near to me?” His lips drew near her neck…

Unable to stand his seductive voice, she felt her whole scalp tingling. She tried to get up, but Chandler pressed her back to her seat. He nibbled her reddened earlobe, and Erin bit her lower lip to stop herself from making a sound.

Chandler gripped her neck and warned coldly. “Don’t be ungrateful. Not any woman could bask in the glory of becoming my assistant trainee, okay?”

“I don’t fucking care about it!” Erin snarled.

His grip tightened as he narrowed his eyes and gently said, “I dare you to repeat that.”

His grip and words alarmed her, and she didn’t dare to do so when she thought about her mother, Cherry.

Chandler let her go, then spun her chair around so that she would face him. Bending over, he held onto the armrests of her chair and gave her an inscrutable gaze.

Erin had to admit that she sometimes didn’t dare to look at the man who seemed so perfect lest she would be enchanted by him.

She didn’t understand why God would bestow such beauty on a fiend!

Seeing fear and conflicted feelings in her eyes. Chandler smiled as his mood improved. As long as Erin yielded to him, he was able to control his temper.

Lifting her chin, Chandler asked, “Erin, did you cast a spell on me?”

Puzzled, Erin said impassively, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“You’re not the most beautiful woman I’ve met, but I’ve somehow become hooked on you and made too many exceptions for you. Not only I’ve let you stay in my villa, but I’ve also allowed you to work in my office. If you’ve not cast a spell on me, why would I have treated you differently?”

He seemed to be asking her and himself at the same time.

Erin said irritably, “I think you’re not right in the head and should go see a doctor!”

“Perhaps I am…”

Erin was so surprised by his reply that she thought she misheard it.

Chandler suddenly let go of her and returned to his desk to start working.

His erratic behavior made Erin mentally exhausted. As she saw him staring coldly at his computer screen, she was in a state of confusion.

She truly couldn’t see through Chandler.

“What kind of a rational man would allow his lover to move into his own office? And yet Chandler doesn’t seem like the type of person who would blur the lines between professional and personal lives,” she pondered.

Feeling her stare, Chandler glanced up at her. “If you keep staring at me like that, I might think I’ve failed to satisfy you.”

Catching herself, Erin looked away and blushed.

She truly couldn’t understand why a powerful man like Chandler, who could have any woman he wanted, refused to let her go.

The two worked until 9 pm.

An hour ago, Chandler gave Erin an agreement to translate into a foreign language, and she struggled to translate it word by word with the help of the internet and a dictionary.

He knew she wasn’t good at the foreign language and was only trying to give her something to do.

He even told Erin half an hour ago that he transferred her to his office for two purposes–first, to keep an eye on her so that she

wouldn’t flirt with other men; secondly, to have sex with her whenever he wanted.

When Chandler told her that, Erin choked in anger.

As she was doing the translation, she tried to think of ways to make Chandler leave her alone without affecting her family.

Having obtained a lot of information online, she planned to make him grow tired of her and dump her within a month! 1

Knitting her brow, Erin pondered the reasons he became infatuated with her and wanted to discuss her plan with Holly after

work.

At that moment, Chandler received a call,

Five minutes later, he said to her, “Erin, go back to the villa by yourself later. I need to return to my family house.”

He took his phone and car key from the desk, then headed out.

Chandler strode to the door and opened the door halfway before suddenly returning to Erin’s desk in anger.

Startled, Erin immediately closed the website on her screen.

Her flustered look made him somewhat curious. “Were you daydreaming? Why did you pretend you didn’t hear me just now?”

“I heard you. I’ll take a taxi back.”

Chandler wanted to go over and check her browsing history but thought he could do it tomorrow. “I’m leaving. Aren’t you going to do something?”

Erin gave him a puzzled look. “What the hell am I supposed to do?” she wondered.

Pondering for a few seconds, she got up and bowed slightly. “Have a safe trip. Mr. Frost.”

Chandler’s voice turned icy as he said, “Erin, I wonder if you’re pretending to be stupid or are truly dumb. Get over here!”

“He’s just standing before my desk, and yet he’s asking me to go over to him?” she thought in confusion.

Erin reluctantly took two steps over and said, “Why-”

He held her waist and lowered his head to kiss her, then bit her lip as he pulled away.

Erin winced and touched her lip. Seeing blood on her fingers, she wanted to scold Chandler but held back the urge.

Seeing her not daring to speak up despite her anger, Chandler felt avenged.

He knocked on her forehead and said in a nasty tone, “If you’re this stupid next time, I’m going to bite you again until you

remember!*

Chandler then slammed the door shut behind him as he left the office.

Seeing the door close, Erin grumbled, “If you’re sick, go see a doctor.”

Having just taken a few steps out of his office, Chandler pulled a long face. “This stupid bitch thinks I couldn’t hear her, does she?” he wondered angrily.

Glancing at his watch, he decided not to go back inside but to punish her later that night.From NôvelDrama.Org.
