Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 109 Airport Pickup

The breakfast that he claimed to have brought for her had all ended up in his stomach. Erin looked at Sean, feeling speechless.

He, on the other hand, didn’t think much of it. “You took so long! The breakfast was getting cold, so… Well, since you’re already dressed. I’ll take you out to eat!”

Erin replied apathetically. “Never mind, you go ahead. I’ll go back to sleep. I’m still off tomorrow, and I’ll be going to Fleuverton City the day after tomorrow. I want to get a good rest these two days.”

Sean’s mood soured instantly. “Erin, didn’t you say that you would treat me to a meal once you landed the job? I don’t care. You must treat me to a meal before you leave. You should honor your promise!”

As Erin was starting to feel drowsy, she grew impatient. “Mr. Dunn, are you really that adamant about claiming that one meal from me?”

Sean raised an eyebrow as he replied curtly. “Yes!”

Since he put it that way, what else could she say? In fact, she’d initially planned to pick a better time to treat him to a proper meal, but she didn’t expect him to be so impatient.

Erin could only compromise in the face of his insistence. “Alright then, you pick the time. I have a flight at 8 am the day after tomorrow.”

He smiled mysteriously in response. “Okay, wait for my call. I’ll get going now. You can continue with your beauty sleep.”

After seeing him off, Erin changed her clothes and walked back into the bedroom. Just as she was about to sleep, the second visitor arrived.

Upon opening the door, Erin found Holly standing at her doorstep. Erin yawned and remarked woefully. “Holly, why are you up so early?”

Holly was wearing an emerald green designer dress, and she looked stunning. Holding a handbag that was limited–edition, she took off her sunglasses and grinned. “Girl, I’m going to the airport to pick up my boyfriend!”

Erin turned and walked toward the sofa, slumping onto it. “If that’s the case, you should be at the airport. Why have you come to my place?”

Holly closed the door and said solemnly. “Because you have to come with me.”

“What?” Erin sat up with a jolt. She wanted very much to reject it. “I think I won’t go
