Love’s New Bloom By Simone Hastings - Season 1 Episode 58

Not Worth 100 Million Dollars

Stunned by what Chandler said. Alan drove off without a word.

The next day when Erin woke up, she sat bolt upright when she saw her surroundings. She looked at Chandler, sitting in front of her, and asked. “Why are we on a plane? Where are we going?”

Writing an email, Chandler looked up at her. “Grecia.”

“Why are we going to Grecia?” Feeling like she was in a dream, she looked at the blanket on her and glanced around at what

seemed to be a private jet.

“For vacation.”

Erin found his simple answer hard to accept. “What about my job? I didn’t even tell my parents that I’d be going overseas. What if they went to look for me?”

Chandler shut his laptop and said, “I knew you would worry too much, so I gave you a sedative shot.”

Erin was shocked. “No wonder I wasn’t even aware that I boarded a goddamn plane!” she thought.

“If we’re going on vacation, you could have told me. There’s no need to give me a sedative shot-”

Seeing she was about to blabber on, Chandler interrupted, “Are you hungry?”

Hearing the question, she suddenly felt she was starving. She had slept more than ten hours, after all.

Chandler pressed the service bell, and two curvaceous flight attendants walked into the cabin in high heels. Erin thought they must have undergone a rigorous selection process as they both had perfect figures and great looks. However, Chandler

seemed indifferent as he talked to them.

Erin could see the jealous looks in their eyes when they were leaving. She chuckled inwardly. “Jealous of me? If they know

what kind of a fiend Chandler is, I doubt they would ever be so,” she thought.

“Erin, what are you daydreaming about?” Chandler threw a piece of chocolate at Erin’s head.

Fortunately, it was a small piece wrapped in paper packaging, and Erin felt no pain. Catching herself, she said, “Hey, why hit me?

“She sounded affronted but still ate the chocolate. “The two women just now are gorgeous!” Seeing him smiling without a

reply, she continued, “Don’t you feel anything when you look at them? Perhaps they’re virgins, you know?”

She remembered when she first met him; he had asked if it was her first time. Looking back now, she realized she rather

despised men who were obsessed with virgins.

What she said caused Chandler to lose his smile. “What the hell are you trying to say?”

She smirked. “Well, they are beautiful. Why didn’t you make them your lovers?”

He said impassively, “I’ve met a lot of beautiful women, but they are not as lucky as you.”

“Lucky?”

Erin felt the urge to laugh but couldn’t bring herself to. She gazed out the window at the clear sky, which should relax her, but

her mind was troubled.

Her look of disdain made Chandler frown with slight anger, but he didn’t lose his temper. To prevent her ex–husband from winning her back, he specially took her on vacation abroad. After all, he had been busy and could take a break himself. However, Erin obviously didn’t appreciate it, and he wasn’t good at sweet–talking women as he was used to paying them to do

what he wanted.

Thinking of money. Chandler looked at her thoughtfully and said, “You’re my woman now, and I’ll make sure you get something

from me.”

Erin turned to look at him and chuckled. “Why? Are you thinking of compensating me?”

Taking out a pen and checkbook, Chandler wrote down the amount and signed his name on a check before offering it to her.” I’m paying you 30 million dollars for the three months you spend with me. I think you should be happy with the amount.”

Erin thought about her ex–husband’s offer to buy a villa worth 20 million dollars for her with the condition that she would give birth to a child after their divorce. Yet Chandler was giving her 30 million dollars, and all she needed to do was become his lover for three months. The massive difference in their offers made her feel a mix of emotions. 1

However, as a woman of dignity, what she felt the most was humiliation. If she took the money, then she would truly become a prostitute.

Chandler watched as she stared at the check in his hand without taking it, her eyes sparkling with tears. He sneered. “Why? Is 30 million too little?”

Erin thought about her plan and angrily said, “Well, I think it is! You should at least give me 100 million dollars.”

*100 million?” A look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

Suddenly, he burst out laughing, and the two flight attendants pushed the trolley into the cabin at that moment. After serving the food, one of the flight attendants asked Chandler as she knelt on one knee on the floor. “Mr. Frost, what drink would you like to have?”

Seemingly wanting to see through her, Chandler kept staring at Erin, but she dared not to meet his intense eyes and looked out at the sky outside the window.

“Take a look at this woman. Do you guys think she’s worth 100 million dollars?” Chandler asked the flight attendant.

Exchanging a glance, the two women naturally didn’t think so. They thought they could easily match Erin’s looks and figure.

The flight attendants weren’t stupid. Working for Chandler, they knew they had to guess what he truly meant by the question. To avoid saying the wrong thing, the flight attendant who was asked the question replied with a smile. “Mr. Frost, pardon me, but I’ve no idea how to answer your question.”

Chandler turned his handsome face to her, causing her heart to race. He was so handsome that any woman would be enchanted by him.

“It’s okay. Just speak your mind.”

Overwhelmed by his cold, authoritative look, she timidly said, “I don’t think so.”

Chandler was pleased. “Great answer! Tell Kyle to come here.”

“Yes, sir.” The woman smilingly went away.

Kyle soon came inside the cabin and asked, “Mr. Frost, looking for me?”

“Kyle, give this flight attendant 100 thousand dollars as a reward for daring to speak the truth.” Chandler said while staring at Erin.

Seeing that her colleague had gotten 100 thousand dollars so easily, the other flight attendant immediately added, “Sir, I also think she isn’t worth 100 million dollars!”

“Kyle, make sure you give her 100 thousand dollars as well.”

Kyle said. “Yes, sir.”

Chandler then waved them off, and he was left alone with Erin in the cabin.

She had already turned around and was eating her food as if what happened just now had nothing to do with her.

Seeing her enjoying the food, Chandler looked at his check and put it away. “Erin, you’ll end up getting nothing if you push it

too far.”

His words were cold, and there was a hint of disgust toward her, but Erin looked pleased when she looked up. “Well, I think I’m

worth 100 million!”
