Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 36 Showing Concern

When Erin heard the familiar man’s voice, her heart skipped a beat before beating wildly. There was a slight quiver in her voice. “How did I end up here?”

The last time she was sick, she was in this bedroom too. She then realized the place might be Chandler’s home, as she previously thought it was just some wealthy woman’s mansion.

Chandler, in a dapper suit, walked over to her and dimmed the light shining on her attractive face.

He gazed at her with his deep–set eyes, saying. “Erin, what happened last night? You better come clean. Don’t make me send men to investigate this!”

If he didn’t happen to be there the night before, he was sure that Erin would have been raped.

Kyle, his secretary, called him in the wee hours of the morning, saying that the two men had confessed the mastermind behind it. Kyle looked into the person and told Chandler that he was the president of one of the corporations.

Erin looked at his darkened gaze. She was still feeling a little hungover and nauseous as she had not had breakfast yet. “Can I have some food first?” she pleaded.

Chandler looked at her pale face and thought for a while before saying, “Wash up and go downstairs for breakfast.”

Erin’s suspended heart was relieved as she watched him leave the bedroom and close the door. When she uncovered the sheets and saw what was underneath, she screamed.

Chandler was going downstairs when he heard her scream. He smiled a little. “Stupid woman.”

Erin hugged her clothes embarrassingly in the bedroom and ran into the bathroom. She locked the door and looked around. When she discerned the windows and doors were securely locked, she started getting dressed in peace.
