“It’s me.” Chandler appeared in the room suddenly.

Chandler had thought Sean would run into Erin if he returned to his room to change. As expected, it really did happen!

Surprised, Sean stared at Chandler. He didn’t expect Erin to know Chandler. He pretended to remain calm and casually asked with a smile. “Chandler, is she your friend?”

Elegant and dignified, Chandler strode in and glanced at Erin, who was rooled to the ground. Then he approached her and took her hand.” She’s not my friend. She’s my woman.”

His voice was casual yet it hit Erin and Sean hard.

Erin looked up at Chandler, not understanding the meaning behind his words.

Sean lowered his gaze. A moment later, his stiff hands relaxed, and he continued to do his tie leisurely. Then, he answered in a soft voice.” Oh.”

“I’ll take her out first and come find you later.” Chandler held Erin’s waist and walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as they left. Sean, who had been pretending to be calm, turned pale. Feeling slightly dejected, he sat on the sofa and watched Chandler lake Erin away. He didn’t understand why he felt a bit empty inside.

It seemed like he’d fallen for Chandler’s woman. In any case, it wasn’t the first time this had happened. He shouldn’t be too concerned.

Chandler walked down the stairs with Erin after exiting the room. However, he led her to the parking lot instead of the banquet hall.

Walking up to his Maybach, he opened the passenger door and said, “Get in.”

Erin was a bit surprised. “Where are we going? I came with my friend. I can’t leave alone.”

“You don’t have to attend the banquet. Anyway, you don’t know anyone there. Get in the car first.” Chandler pushed her into the car as he spoke.
