Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 98 Not Worthy of Him

Erin was kept under observation in the hospital for two days before getting discharged.

Chandler ordered her to rest for the next three days. Otherwise, he threatened to have her transferred back to being his assistant from the design department.

Erin naturally complied and was happy to enjoy her paid leave.

She didn’t want to tell anyone about being drugged, nor did she want her family and friends to worry.

Moreover, the real culprit behind the incident was still on the loose. Hence, it was better to keep it a secret.

It was 4.30 pm, and Erin was driving a white BMW towards a restaurant.

Quentin, the legendary chairman and father of Chandler, had finally come to see her.

As an employee of the company, she couldn’t refuse to meet Chandler’s father.

Even though she was very nervous, she knew she couldn’t just give up without trying.

Forty minutes later, Erin parked her car and walked into one of the most famous restaurants in the city.

The restaurant was frequented by either prominent figures in the business world or wealthy celebrities. The restaurant operated on a membership system. Normal tycoons were not qualified to dine here.

As Erin mentioned her name to the staff, she was quickly led to a private room to meet with Quentin.

Before they even met, Quentin had already attempted to intimidate Erin by reminding her of her social standing.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Erin mustered her courage and pushed open the door to the private room.

To her surprise, the room was empty. Not even a waiter was present.
