Chapter 382 Nothing More Than Colleagues

Alex kept his eyes fixed upon Erica, seemingly thinking about what to do with his next move. After all, he knew as well that he didn’t stand a chance to get closer to Anastasia at all with Elliot by her side, but now that Erica was approaching him, he began to see it as an opportunity. “Miss Erica, I’m just an ordinary man without anything worth admiring, so I wonder what makes you like me so much.” Alex let out a sigh.

“I’m not like my sister who only wants to marry a rich man. I, on the other hand, prefer to trust my own feelings when choosing my Mr. Right.” Erica then looked at Alex seductively. “Mr. Hunter, you’re exactly the type that I like.”

Upon hearing the lady’s words, Alex felt as if there was an electric shock that ran through his body. Although Erica was not considered a beauty like her sister was, Alex, whose nature as a man got the better of his rational mind, could not resist her advances.
