Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 6 Forced Depravity

“You’re shameless! Why would anyone possibly want to seduce you?” Erin pulled the shirt tightly around her to avoid exposing herself.

Chandler smiled faintly as he walked into the room and shut the door behind him.

“Where is this?”

“My office.”

Erin was shocked to hear this. What was she doing at his workplace? “Wait, this is where you work?” She felt her goosebumps rise all over.

At her disdainful expression, Chandler knew she’d misunderstood. He didn’t want to explain, though. He sat down and smirked at her. “What, can’t I have a proper job?”

The fact that he was looking down at her arrogantly reminded Erin that she was still sitting on the carpet like a fool. She immediately got to her feet and backed away from him. “You have a proper job?” Her curiosity was piqued now. So he was moonlighting?

Chandler rubbed his jaw thoughtfully. After a few seconds, he said, “I’m the president…president’s secretary.”

Erin nodded understandingly. “Oh, okay. Look, we can leave that for some other time. Where are my clothes?”

“At last night’s hotel.”

“What? Why didn’t you bring them here with you? How am I gonna leave this place?” Her face fell.
