Chapter 42 Asking For Help

Erin was struck speechless upon seeing Chandler’s furious reaction.

The car was suddenly in pin–drop silence. Chandler has finally calmed down a little. He had lost control of his emotions a moment ago. which was why he was feeling annoyed. He looked tense and said nothing.

When they reached the parking lot of the office building, they still didn’t talk to each other, merely taking their respective elevators to their offices.

When Erin was at her office, she wanted to look for Dana to ask her some questions. It wasn’t that she suspected Dana of drugging her. After all, she never had any conflicts with Dana, even when they were at their previous company. She didn’t think Dana would harm her. However, she only chatted and drank with Caleb and Dana the night before. Her thoughts couldn’t help but drift toward Caleb.

She was even more unconvinced that Caleb would have drugged her. Thinking about how righteous and kind he looked, even suspecting him was considered an insult to him.

When Erin noticed Dana’s desk was empty, she returned to her own. She turned on the computer and started staring at it in a daze. Although she found it hard to believe that someone had drugged her, the strange feelings her body felt the night before and what Chandler told her made her think otherwise!

She scanned around the design department, suddenly feeling the need to be extra cautious at work in the future.

Right at that moment, she received a voice message. She keyed in her passcode and saw that it was a message from Sean, saying, “Erin, when are you returning the clothes to me?”

Erin snorted. She thought about how Sean told her she didn’t need to return it to him, yet she had merely forgotten about it for a while, and there he was trying to get her to return it!

She quickly replied. “Give me your address. I’ll courier it to you. I’ve washed and ironed the clothes. The tag is still brand new. Also, don’t call me Erin. We’re not close.”

She thought for a while before saying, “Gavin, look after yourself for now. If you’re afraid of being alone, go to your Aunt’s place to stay for a couple of days. I can give her a call if you want.
