Chapter 107 An Honest Confession

For a second, Erin didn’t understand what Roman was implying. Looking pained, she asked, “What do you mean, Mr. Blair?” Although she was intentionally putting all of her attention on Roman, she was so nervous that his hands were sweating profusely. Even if Chandler sat quietly, to her, his presence was still the most prominent one.

Though she was trying so desperately to ignore him, her treacherous heart still thundered because Chandler was right there. “Miss Lane, do you really not understand what I’m saying? Wasn’t Mr. Frost here your previous boss? You were his woman

Roman chuckled lowly. “Why don’t you come over and take a seat? I’ll tell you what you want to know.”
