Chapter 845:

Elin stepped forward, her face still red, and whispered, “It's okay. I didn't know what he had said. I was just drunk. Let's go".

Elin definitely didn't want this to become a spectacle. What would he say if Raegan asked him? That she and Erick had been mistaken for an intimate moment on the side of the road? Just thinking about it made him squirm.

The drunk's friend, noticing Erick's imposing presence and refined air, realized that Erick was not someone to provoke.

He bowed deeply repeatedly, saying, “I'm sorry. I apologize to you and your girlfriend on your behalf. Please, you are a great man. Don't stoop to arguing with a drunk like him. I'll be sure to talk to him later."

Erick's stern expression softened a little at the mention of "girlfriend."

He calmly replied, “If your friend is drunk, you should take him home to rest. "It's better than letting him out cause problems you might regret."

This clearly showed that Erick was willing to put the incident behind him, and the drunk's friend thanked him profusely before taking him away.

Erick turned then and his eyes fell on Elin's hand, which was clutching the edge of his coat. A flash of uncertainty crossed his gaze.

Elin stopped, suddenly conscious, and quickly dropped her coat. He shuffled his feet, sensing the tension in the air, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

“Take you home,” Erick stated simply, taking the car keys from him and addressing him.

“But…” Before Elin could refuse, Erick had already opened the passenger door for her, and she hesitantly climbed in. "Where is your car?" he asked.

"The driver took it," Erick responded, leaving a long silence.

Elin hesitated and said, “I don't really need you to take me home. "I still have to go to the office."

"It's late. Whatever it is, it can surely wait until tomorrow.

Elin really didn't want to leave with Erick, so she quickly made up an excuse. «No, I still have to finish some documents…».

Just then, Erick took out his phone and called Raegan.

"What are you doing?" Elin exclaimed, startled. He hurriedly leaned over to press the end call button.

Erick didn't try to stop her. He just looked at her and asked, "Do you want to ask her if the studio will close when you're gone?"

"Don't you dare!" Elin's voice was filled with panic. She had always been reserved with Erick, but since last night, things had changed slightly, making them feel a little closer. Now she looked like a nervous bunny, ready to explode.

Erick smiled mischievously. “Okay, then give me a reason.”

Elin remained silent.

During the silence, the car had already started.

In the sleek black car parked in front of the restaurant, Mitchel's lips were tight as he watched the car carrying Raegan drive away.

The atmosphere inside Mitchel's car became icy.

Matteo asked, "Mr. Dixon, where are we headed?"
