Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 92 Self–worth

Five days later, Chandler made an exception and agreed to let Erin transfer back to the design department.

Being a secretary was not suitable for her at all. Since she moved into Chandler’s office, she had practically nothing to do on a daily basis.

Chandler delegated all his tasks to Kyle, and he never assigned any tasks to her. After all, their areas of expertise were different. She lacked experience in important matters, and minor tasks made her feel like she wasn’t valued.

As an excellent designer, she couldn’t spend her days just ordering meals and making coffee, could she?

Finally, after five days of constant lamenting and complaining, the formidable Chandler gave in to Erin.

At this moment, Erin was tidying up the last few things on her desk, her face filled with excitement.

Chandler stole glances at her. Noticing how quickly her desk became empty, he couldn’t help but feel a hint of uneasiness.

Throwing his pen aside, he spoke in a teasing and cold tone, “Are you so thrilled to be away from me?”

Erin’s hand, which was placing the pen holder down, froze. Worried that this unpredictable man might change his mind at any moment, she quickly approached him. She then stood behind him and offered to massage his shoulders.

With a soft voice, she said, “Mr. Frost, we’re actually not that far apart. I’m just downstairs…”

Chandler snorted and said, “Downstairs is not far enough for you?”

Erin was speechless.

She smiled and said, “You see, we live together at night. If we spend 24 hours together, you’ll soon get tired of me!”

He frowned slightly and asked, “So, are you returning to the design department just to maintain the novelty between us?”

“Yes! Besides, my expertise is in design. I feel restless sitting here. I’m used to earning money through my own hard work…”

Chandler raised an eyebrow and said, “If you serve me well, you’ll earn more in a lifetime than you would by working. Why bother working?”
