Chapter 26 What a Small World

“Chandler, let go of me. My hand hurts!”

No matter how much Erin shouted, Chandler refused to let go of her. He dragged her until they reached a specially designed door at the end of the corridor. Stopping in front of it, he entered the password, and the door opened. Right after the door opened, he pulled Erin into the room and slammed it shut before pressing her against it.

His tone was cold as he spoke. “Tell me, why are you here?”

Erin answered honestly. “I came with my friend. She’s attending the banquet on behalf of her parents.”

Upon hearing her answer, Chandler frowned. “Then what’s with your dress?” He stared at her clothes with a conflicted expression, and his eyes were piercingly cold.

Erin said. “Someone accidentally spilled red wine on me earlier, and I spent a lot of time cleaning it”

After hearing her explanation, the anger in his black eyes slowly dissipated, but a flame ignited in his heart. Looking down at her delicate

and pretty lips, he remembered when he’d kissed her in his office. A hint of restlessness stirred his heart.

Erin looked at his perfect and exquisite face, her heart pounding loudly. Soon, her face flushed red. She felt suffocated by his embrace, and her nose was full of his alluring scent. She was starting to feel confused.

Before she could struggle to get away, Chandler’s lips landed on hers.

Chandler gradually moved his hands upward, and Erin’s body trembled. Sobering up, she pushed him hard. “Chandler, calm down! We’re in

a stranger’s room now…

Chandler smirked. “Who said this is a stranger’s room?”

Erin looked at the environment, which was very luxurious. It was obviously a man’s bedroom.

However, for some reason, she had a vague feeling that this wasn’t Chandler’s room. The style here was very different from the lounge in his office.

Yet he knew the password for the bedroom, so she asked, “Is this really your room?”

The disbelief in Erin’s eyes amused Chandler. “Why? Do you also think that this bedroom isn’t suitable for me?”

Erin nodded.

Chandler seemed to be in a good mood. “Oh, tell me, why isn’t it suitable for me?” He held her tightly and continued to ask.

Erin carefully looked around the room. “To be honest, the design of this room doesn’t suit your taste at all. The person who lives in this room should…”

Curiosity grew in his heart as Erin stopped talking. “Should what?”

“Okay, I’ll tell the truth, but you can’t hit me or curse at me.” Erin was unsure if this was his room, so she spoke with caution.

Chandler chuckled. “Why would I hit you? Am I that violent?“.

She remembered the tall foreigner knocked down by Chandler in one punch. If it were her, she would’ve died on the spot.

Erin’s thoughts were easily reflected on her face. He flicked her nose gently and said, “You’re such a silly girl. Alright, I promise I won’t scold or hit you. What do you want to say?”

“I think the person living in this room is a player. He must be a playboy.”

Chandler paused for a moment before chuckling. “Little one, you’re smart.” novelbin

Erin smiled. “So, I guessed correctly!”

Just as Chandler was about to say something, his phone rang. He let go of Erin and took out his phone before unlocking it.

“Hello, where are you? I’m already home. Logan and Alan are here too. Do you want to play a game in the billiards room?”

Chandler glanced at Erin and said, “I’m at your place. See you later.”

After hanging up the phone, he pulled Erin into the bathroom and said to her. “You can go to the banquet hall later.”

“It’s fine. The dress is okay now…

“Stop talking nonsense.” Chandler took out a hair dryer from the cabinet and handed it to her.

Erin thought he would stay in the bathroom, but he turned around and left.

She saw him close the door behind him and sighed. She dared not defy him and felt somewhat annoyed at her own cowardice. She used the hair dryer for a while, but it burned her skin. Unable to hear the heat, she chose to remove her dress.

However, she forgot to lock the bathroom door. On the other hand, Sean came straight into his room, wanting to change before heading to

the billiards room.

As he approached his cupboard, he was surprised to hear the sound of a hair dryer coming from the bathroom next to him.

No one could enter his bedroom except for the maid when he was present. Nobody knew the password to his room, not even his parents!

Half–naked, Sean turned the bathroom door handle, wearing only pants. Without thinking too much, he pushed the door open.

Erin was shocked and dropped the hair dryer. She held her dress with both hands and tried to cover her body.

Sean’s throat went dry as he saw Erin. He recognized her immediately.

After striding into the bathroom, he forcefully yanked the annoying hairdryer out of the socket and tossed it aside before demanding, “How did you get into my room?”

He had to visit the hospital to wash his eyes because of Erin! The mere thought of her still made him furious.

Erin’s face turned red with embarrassment as she awkwardly replied. “Could you please leave first? Let me put my clothes on…

Eyes darkening, he found amusement in her disheveled state. “This is my room and my home. Why should I leave? If you don’t answer my

questions, I won’t leave. Try to make me leave if you have the guts!”

Sean had fair skin and a muscular build. With his arms crossed, he was enjoying the show..

Erin was furious at his insolent attitude. Her voice held a hint of pleading as she said, “Could you please leave first? If you have anything to

say, wait until I come out.”

Sean’s eyes narrowed as he failed to get an explanation from Erin. “Did you regret what you did to me? So you sent someone to investigate my background and sneaked into my home to seduce me, right?”

Erin was left speechless. She was stunned for a moment. Why would Sean think of something like that?

Angered, she summoned all her strength and pushed him out of the bathroom. She then locked the door behind her immediately and began to put on her dress hastily. She knocked her own head hard in reproach for her carelessness. How could she forget to lock the

door?

Pushed out of the bathroom by Erin, Sean suddenly felt his skin heat up where she had touched him. The sight of Erin’s petite hands pushing him out and her white lingerie sent his breath into disarray.

“Her figure is really quite something… Sean’s breath started to become unsteady. He strode toward the closet, took out a light purple shirt, and quickly put it on to suppress his crazy thoughts.

When Erin walked out of the bathroom, Sean was tying his tie.

He turned around upon hearing her movements, and Erin immediately explained, “Your friend saw that my dress was wet and kindly brought me into the room to find a hairdryer. I just forgot to lock the door.

That’s all.”

Sean frowned slightly. The only people who knew his password and could enter his room were his three best friends, Chandler, Logan, and

Alan.

Which one of them was Erin’s friend?

They must be quite intimate! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought Erin into the room.

Sean lifted his gaze and asked, “So, who is this friend you’re talking about?”
