Chapter 59 Unreasonable
Seeing Erin’s innocent face, Chandler looked away and said, “What a greedy woman!”
During the meal, Erin focused on eating and didn’t let him spoil her appetite.
He got a flight attendant to bring some top–quality red wine, and she left after pouring them each a glass.
Seeing the flight attendant leave, Erin suddenly asked, “Chandler, what do you usually like the most? And what do you hate the
most?”
He leisurely sliced the top–grade, medium–rare steak, and blood oozed out. Erin felt a little nauseous seeing it as she only ate
her meat well done.
Chandler put a piece of steak into his mouth and chewed it slowly before swallowing. “Why do you ask? Trying to please me?”
Erin chuckled awkwardly. “I’m going to stick around you for three months, so I guess I should know more about you…”
“I hate a lot of things, and there aren’t many things I like.”
Erin was speechless as he had basically told her nothing. As he wasn’t ready to respond to her, she decided to give up.
After taking a sip of wine, Chandler said, “I hate women who don’t take care of their personal hygiene the most.”
Erin made a mental note of it.
When they reached their hotel in Grecia, Erin started to act like an unhygienic woman.
Even if he was on vacation, Chandler spent his time in the study of the ocean–view suite, having video conferences with the
high–level executives.
Erin, on the other hand, wanted to take a shower, but determined to be unhygienic, she resisted the urge. At that moment she
was sweaty all over and wanted to sleep due to jet lag. However, seeing the luxurious suite, she felt she was too dirty as she
had not had a shower after getting off the plane.
A clean freak, Chandler, had already showered twice.
Standing before the mirror in the bathroom. Erin struggled with deciding whether to shower.
When Chandler was done with a video conference and walked by the bathroom, he saw her still wearing the same clothes she wore on the way there, and his face stiffened. He went inside and said, “Erin, how long have you been standing here? Aren’t you going to take a shower?”
Erin lied, “I don’t want to shower, and I hate showering the most!”
Chandler frowned and said coldly, “How can you be so dirty?” He suddenly realized that Erin had acted so because of what he said on the plane. A cold look flashed across his eyes. “Erin, stop being so childish! You have 20 minutes to clean yourself up. We’ll be going out later.”
After he left, Erin was still thinking about what he said. “Did he guess what I was trying to do?” she wondered. Nevertheless, she chose to take a shower because she would go crazy feeling sticky all over.
Instead of disgusting Chandler, she ended up feeling disgusted with herself!
Twenty minutes later, Erin stood in front of the mirror, fully dressed and groomed.
Someone had packed her luggage for her. The two big suitcases had everything she needed, even things that were not supposed to be there–Chandler’s personal items.
Erin was annoyed by the two boxes inside the suitcase, and she weighed her options when Chandler wasn’t around. Her eyes
lit up as an idea came to her. Taking the boxes to the open–air swimming pool outside, she glanced around and tossed them
into the bushes.
She brushed her hands, pleased with what she had done.
“What are you doing?”
Stunned, Erin wheeled around and saw Chandler standing behind her. She awkwardly rubbed the back of her head and let out a grin. “Nothing. Just admiring the view…”
Chandler looked her up and down, then turned around. “Let’s go.”
Trying to hide her guilt, she asked earnestly. “Where are we going?”
He didn’t reply and strode away wearing casual clothes and sunglasses.
A petite woman, Erin could hardly catch up and said, out of breath, “Hey, slow down! Do you think everyone is born with super long legs like yours? Be considerate to hobbits like me, okay?”
What she said cheered Chandler up, and he slowed to a stop and turned around to wait for her. When she walked up to him, Chandler studied her clothes and frowned. “Go back and put on a jacket.”
Erin knitted her brow. “Come on. It’s so hot out here, yet you want me to put on a jacket? If I could, I wanted to wear a bikini, you know?”
He sneered, “Bikini, huh? Who are you trying to seduce wearing this?”
“Please! You’re not that old–fashioned, are you? I’m just wearing a sundress.” Erin couldn’t believe it.
“Then get changed if you don’t want to wear a jacket!”
As he was blocking the doorway, Erin could only shake her head in resignation and returned to her bedroom.
After about five minutes, Chandler grew impatient and walked into the room.
“Couldn’t you knock?” Erin blushed and covered herself with the sundress she took off.
Chandler eyed her fair and slender legs and felt she had perfect proportions, although she wasn’t tall. He narrowed his eyes as he smiled. “Why cover yourself up? It’s not that I’ve never seen-”
Erin said irritably. “Leave!”
He, however, sauntered in and chuckled as Erin backed off instinctively. “Relax, I’m not in the mood now. What clothes have you picked?”
She glanced at a white short–sleeve dress, which was both youthful and stylish.
Picking it up, Chandler looked at it and was pleased. “Hurry up. It’s getting late.” Then, he strode out of the bedroom.
Erin was enraged. “Wasn’t he the one who wanted me to get changed? What an unreasonable egomaniac!” she thought.
Ten minutes later, Chandler and Erin got into the convertible and headed to the sea.
Kyle was driving, and Erin’s mood lifted, learning they were going out to sea. Silting beside her. Chandler saw she was letting out a rare smile, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. Her smile was so innocent and beautiful that it momentarily made him. forget his trouble and stress.
He couldn’t help leaning forward to pinch her cheek. “Dumbass, you should smile more as you look beautiful when you do.”
Erin dropped her smile. “If you want to praise me, then do it. Why do you have to call me You truly can’t say anything nice. can’t you?”
Chandler leaned back with his hands behind her head. “Want to hear something nice? Then make me happy.”
“Forget it then. It’s impossible to please you. I’d rather try to.make a pig happy-” She clapped her hand over her mouth.
“Erin, are you tired of living?”
Very soon, her pleas for mercy were heard. Kyle looked at the rearview mirror, and his mood lifted as well, seeing Chandler poking Erin’s ticklish spots.
