Chapter 77 You’re The Only Exception

“Well, aren’t you so full of yourself! Me, jealous of you? Don’t make me laugh!” Holly snorted.

Eugene was not in the mood to continue bickering with her, so he picked up his phone and car keys and went to the front desk. to pay for dinner before leaving.

Seeing as the night ended poorly for everyone, Holly thought of inviting Erin out for dinner another day to make amends. She decided that their friendship must be mended at all costs.

Just as Erin exited the elevator and was about to walk out of the building, she was met with Sean shortly after.

“Kindly get out of my way, please,” she ordered as she glared at him coldly.

“I wasn’t the one who made you angry just now, so you shouldn’t take your anger out on me,” he said innocently.

“What do you want?” she snapped impatiently. It was the first time she had a scuffle with her best friend over a man she hated, so she felt it was all for nothing. She was also disappointed in the way Holly treated her tonight.

“It was your best friend who asked me to come after you, by the way. It seems like she’s seen the error of her ways and was too ashamed to apologize to you in person, which was why she asked me to send you home instead,” Sean explained seriously.

That instantly made her feel better, but it didn’t take her long until a flicker of doubt flashed across her eyes. “Did she really, though?” she questioned.

“You can call her to ask if you don’t believe me,” he said helplessly.

“Forget it. Now I don’t know what I should say to her,” Erin said, lowering her gaze.

“Let’s go. I’ll send you back. I guess I have to fulfill my duties now since I gave Holly my word. Then again, I would still send you back even if it weren’t under her orders,” Sean remarked. He looked like a gentleman with the way he tried to lead her to the parking lot.

Seeing her frown and sensing her hesitation, he joked, “Are you perhaps scared that I might molest you on the way?”

“What the hell, you wouldn’t dare!” she growled, glaring at him.

“Right this way, please,” he said and chuckled.
