Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 117 Anonymous Mall

Erin wasn’t sure if she should cry or laugh at Sean’s incredulity upon receiving her call. She teased, “Are you, the esteemed president of Truffleberry Media, really so surprised to get a call from me?”

Sean responded seriously, “Yes!”

“Why, though?” She was genuinely curious now.

Sean picked up his phone and walked to the window wall. Looking at the sunny day outside, he remembered the smile on Erin’s face and felt a subtle sense of comfort in his heart.

He chuckled lightly. “Because you’re Erin.”

His answer puzzled her, and after thinking for a few seconds, she decided not to dwell on it. Erin returned to the main topic and asked, ” Didn’t you say that I should treat you to a meal before I left?”

Hearing no response from his end, she didn’t feel comfortable bringing up May’s matter.

Upon hearing her mention the meal invitation, Sean felt a hint of surprise, accompanied by a wave of delight. He asked bluntly, “Do you

miss me?”

After falling speechless for a second, Erin denied it. “Mr. Dunn, please don’t joke with me.”

But Sean suddenly spoke seriously. “Don’t call me Mr. Dunn. Your boss is Roman, and I’m just a collaborative partner to him.”

“If that’s the case, how should I address you?” Calling him “Mr. Dunn” felt awkward to her as well.

“Just call me Sean. We’re not strangers who barely know each other.”

The inexplicable tenderness in his tone made Erin’s ears tingle. She could almost imagine how captivating Sean’s flirtatious eyes were at that moment. If she were a young girl experiencing the blossoming of a first love, she would definitely be infatuated with him. Unfortunately, she was a divorced woman. Coupled with her recent heartbreak, she was now officially a spinster. The people in her hometown would be judgmental about her single status despite being 25 years old. She laughed at the state she was in humorlessly.

“Tell me honestly. Is there something you need help with? It’s not like you to call me just because you wanted to treat me to a meal.”
