Chapter 41 Gifts
The next morning, when Erin woke up, she screamed when she saw the man in her room. However, when she heard how hoarse her voice sounded, she awkwardly covered her mouth and shut up.
Chandler was in a bathrobe as if he had just finished showering. He couldn’t hide the disgust on his face as he sneered, “Erin, what are you screaming about? Haven’t you screamed enough last night? I believe that the household staff didn’t sleep well”
He threw her a flirtatious glance before heading to the walk–in closet.
At that moment, Erin was all alone in the huge bedroom. She got up and noticed she was wearing an extremely see–through sleeping
gown–it wasn’t hers!
She was guessing whether it belonged to one of Chandler’s other women. At that thought, she disgustedly stripped off the sleeping gown
and threw it on the floor.
If it weren’t for the hickeys on her body, her porcelain skin would be almost flawless. The previous bite mark had disappeared, thanks to
the medication the butler gave her after she moved in.
When he handed her the medication, the butler said, “This is from Mr. Frost. He doesn’t like to see scars.”
Erin was also worried that the awful bite mark would scar back then, but she had only applied the medication for two days, and her skin had healed completely. However, the hickeys and the other marks on her body troubled her.
“What? Are you unhappy with the hickeys I left for you?” At that moment, Chandler had already put on his pants and returned to the bedroom while buttoning his shirt. He admired Erin’s body shamelessly.
His sudden appearance made Erin jump. She quickly hid under the covers, leaving only half her head peeking out. She said timidly. “H- how did I return home last night?”
She had no memories of the night before. However, now that she was conscious, there was one thing she was sure about–the wet dream
she had last night was real. Her sore body was the most obvious clue.
“Erin, don’t pretend to be prudish. Why do you need to cover yourself? There isn’t an inch on your body that I’ve not seen before. Go get dressed and put on makeup. I’ll give you ten minutes. Every minute you’re late, I’ll dock one thousand off your pay. Don’t doubt my words.
I’m not joking with you. The time starts–now.” Chandler turned around and headed for the walk–in closet.
“One thousand every minute!” Erin muttered while quickly getting up. Then, she grabbed the shirt Chandler threw on the floor and put it on
her. The black gown she wore the night before has turned into rags.
To get out of the bedroom, Erin had to walk past the walk–in closet to get out of the bedroom. She headed out, initially not wanting to look at him, but Chandler said, “I’ve gotten the staff to put your clothes in my closet.”
Her fair legs turned around reluctantly. She took one glance at him before opening the closet doors next to him. Sure enough, she saw a row of ladies‘ clothes. She wouldn’t know there were even ladies‘ clothes if she didn’t look closely.
Her old clothes were mixed with the new ones, at least a hundred pieces of them in total. The household staff had categorized them by
color.
Seeing her standing in a daze, Chandler glanced at his mechanical watch and warmly reminded her, “Erin, five minutes have passed.”
At that, Erin quickly picked out her clothes and got dressed, breaking her record of getting dressed in the fastest time possible!
She got dressed in under a minute. Then she grabbed her huge makeup bag and ran to the bathroom to put some on.
However, Chandler suddenly remembered how flawlessly gorgeous she looked, enough to make him furrow his brow. He strode over and grabbed her by the arm, pulling her out.
“Where are we going? I haven’t put on makeup yet-”
“No need! You look hideous whether you have makeup on or not!”
Erin was stunned, speechless. How dare he call her hideous! Even if she was not extremely gorgeous, she had been praised for her good looks since she was young! Looking angry, she let him lead her along out of the bedroom.
Chandler had his jacket on his arm and her pair of heels in his hands. Erin followed closely behind him barefooted. When they passed by
the living area downstairs, Chandler’s action of pulling Erin along shocked a few middle–aged household staff.
He stuffed her into the passenger seat and threw her heels inside before closing the door and walking over to the driver’s seat.
Within ten seconds, his Maybach had left the mansion. Five minutes later, Chandler asked, “What do you want for breakfast? I leel like eating out today.”
Erin glared at him. Just because he wanted to eat out, he had to rush her? She looked at the clock in the car and said, “Mr. Frost, if you’re in a rush for an early meeting, just go. Why did you have to pull me along? It’s not time for me to go to work yet.”
Seeing how reluctant Erin was being. Chandler scoffed. He said coldly, “Erin Lane. If it weren’t for me looking for you once I landed, your would’ve been raped by Mr. Xavier from Marketing!”
As it turned out, Chandler hadn’t returned to the mansion all this while because he was abroad.
However, what Chandler said made her heart skip a beat. She blushed and asked awkwardly. “What do you mean by that? Mr. Xavier, who?”
He swept her a glance and looked at the idiotic woman who had no idea what was going on. He calmly explained, “You were roofied last night. I found you by the ladies‘ room. You would’ve been taken away if I was one step too late.”
Erin recalled her symptoms in the ladies‘ room the night before and realized it wasn’t because she had eaten something bad.
“How are you so sure that I was roofied?”
Chandler thought about her the night before and tensed up a little. He snickered. “It’s a pity I was too busy trying to make sure the drugs. wore off. I didn’t capture any of your slutty moves.”
The slight regret in his eyes made Erin’s face burn with embarrassment. He was surely not talking about her!
Could she really have been drugged? Who could it be?
Seeing her not saying anything with her head lowered, Chandler cast her a glance and said, “I’ll get to the bottom of this. You’re now my woman. No one can bully you.”
His authoritative tone made her heart skip a beat. At the thought of her wearing clothes still with their tags on this morning, she couldn’t help but ask, “Did you buy all those clothes for me in the closet? And those branded makeups. Whose sleeping gown was I wearing this morning?”
Chandler looked at her as if he was looking at an idiot. He said curtly. “Erin, how dumb can you be? Who else could those things belong to?
“Why did you buy them for me?” Erin felt a little worried. Even when she was together with lan during her college years, she rarely accepted gifts from him, yet at that moment, the closet was full of clothes that Chandler had given to her. The price of any piece of clothing was at least ten thousand dollars and beyond. It was so expensive that she didn’t dare to put them on.
Even Chandler had to think about her question for a few minutes. He had no answer for her at that moment. When he saw the clothes during his trip abroad, he just knew she’d look good in them, so he got Kyle to buy them.
Chandler glanced at Erin and noticed she was still leaning forward, waiting for his answer. He got inexplicably annoyed and said, “It’s none of your business! Just accept them! Stop asking so many questions!”
