Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 18 Exes Scolding Each Other

As the president of Frost Corporation, getting called a pervert was obviously not a great feeling. But it was different when Erin said it, and he didn’t feel anger. Chandler quietly said, “I’m not a pervert to you, right?”

Erin looked at him. This man was definitely ridiculously good-looking. She thought about the women gushing over how hot the president was, and an unspeakable image crossed her mind, making it hard for her to continue eating.

Chandler had no idea what she was thinking about, and as he watched her struggle to swallow her food, he thought of that time in the break room.

His eyes glistened, and his tone was compromising when he spoke. “I won’t force you like that time in the break room ever again.”

Just thinking about that time made Erin’s face flush as red as a tomato. The risotto in her mouth suddenly tasted bad, and she ran to the breakroom. Chandler could hear her retching in the toilet from where he sat on the cuch. His expression soured. He threw his cutlery on the table and decided that he wasn’t going to continue eating either.

After rinsing her mouth, Erin walked out of the breakroom only to find Kyle in the office, with Chandler nowhere to be found.

She eyed the boxes of food on the table and asked, “Kyle, where is the other assistant, Mr. Frost?”

She still didn’t know Chandler’s full name. She could only remember his last name from their first encounter. Since he said that he was the secretary to the president, surely it wouldn’t be wrong to address him as the other assistant.

Kyle’s expression shifted slightly, and he answered, “He left.”

“Oh, then I’m going home too.” Erin picked up her bag and left.

Kyle watched her silhouette slowly fade away and thought that the president treated her quite differently. He decided that he was going to be much nicer to her in the future, but only with small gestures.
