Monica had assumed that, at worst, she would still be at the headquarters. However, now that she was being transferred to the Angevin branch, there would be little chance of her appearing at the headquarters. She was disgruntled. Nonetheless, she was powerless against Terence. Casting a detached glance at Monica, who had been silent, Terence said coldly, "You may leave." With that, Monica turned around and left Terence's office.… After talking to Sylvia, Robin entered Chandler's office with Wilson leading the way.Chandler's office had undergone a cleanup. It was quite empty. There was only a single potted plant and some office equipment. Not much paperwork was waiting to be addressed on Chandler's desk.Robin looked somewhat perplexed. She knew Chandler did not concern himself much with work after taking over Weiss Group. However, she was surprised by Chandler's light workload.Seemingly recognizing Robin's confusion, Wilson smiled as he explained, "Taking into acc
It was obvious that Monica was the one who had been receiving training in etiquette since she was a child.Whether it be managing her own expressions or speaking, Monica used to have personal tutors come to the house to teach her one-on-one since young.But at this moment, Robin seemed more refined than her. Robin looked like a refined young lady who had received an excellent education while Monica looked worthless in her presence.Monica took a deep breath and directed an extremely dissatisfied glare at Robin."Stop pretending. It's just the two of us here now. Don't you find it uncomfortable to put on such a facade all the time?" she said.Robin raised an eyebrow lightly at that. She then placed her coffee cup on the table and looked at Monica with a serious gaze."Ms. Blake, all I did was ask if something worth my pride had happened. You haven't even told me anything yet and you're already accusing me of putting on a facade."Could it be that you're just so accustomed to pret
Robin nodded in response and said nothing more as she stepped into her office.When she returned to her office, Wilson had already brought over some documents for her to go over.Robin began to attend to her duties after she sat down at her desk.She didn't leave her desk until the end of the day.Since Robin's current position in the company was completely different now, she had to approach her work with heightened spirits and seriousness.Terence had a dinner appointment later that evening. As he was about to leave, he noticed that Robin's office door was still open. He walked over and saw that Robin was still working inside, so he invited himself in.Upon entering, he approached Robin from the side and saw that she was reviewing a proposal.Terence stood quietly by the side and examined the proposal with her for a moment.Eventually, Robin sensed that someone was beside her. When she looked up, she saw that Terence was standing next to her. She hadn't noticed when he had ent
Robin's expression shifted slightly at Terence's offer. "I don't think that's a good idea," she pointed out with a sheepish laugh. After all, she was not invited in the first place.Terence ruffled Robin's hair and asked gently, "Why not? You know most of the invited guests. Jean and Tyler will likely show up too."The Harpers are the ones throwing the party, and they've worked with Larson Group before. Tyler told me you were the project planner."Robin nodded. "Yeah, they had a few collaborations with Larson Group."Terence pulled Robin up from her seat. Holding her hand, he said evenly, "You've only just joined Weiss Group, and with your current role, you're expected to show up at a few social events. Come on, we'll go together."He did not let go of her hand as he said this and led her out of the office.Robin looked down at their clasped hands. She made a move to draw hers back, worried that the other employees might talk if they saw her and Terence like this.However, T
Terence's expression remained the same at the mention of Brian, though he remarked evenly, "I haven't heard from him recently."Tyler's brows knitted together as he said, "Neither have we, but I doubt our years of friendship would be brought down by something as trivial as this."Terence nodded and said, "I visited him at the hospital the day after I beat him up, but he gave me the impression that he wouldn't give up on Robin that easily."He had never imagined that Brian, his best friend for years, would become his love rival.Tyler frowned, silently agreeing with Terence that this was indeed a tricky situation. Both men fell silent as they considered the problem at hand.Robin and Jean had already walked quite a distance ahead when they noticed that neither Tyler nor Terence had caught up to them.Stopping in their tracks, Robin and Jean looked at where the two men were.Jean was the first to speak, "Hurry up, you guys."It was only then that Tyler made a verbal response a
Bethany, Donovan Harper's wife, showed up at that moment and reached for Robin's hand. She greeted her warmly, "Ms. Sage, it's been a while. You've only gotten prettier since the last time I saw you." Bethany had met Robin before, but she had not been quite as enthusiastic toward Robin as she was being now.As far as the women in the upper crust were concerned, capable young ladies with average backgrounds such as Robin had a tendency to be ambitious. Women like her would do anything to climb the corporate ladder.As such, despite being much older, Bethany had been wary of Robin during the Harpers' previous collaboration with Larson Group.Presently, Robin smiled. She was admittedly a little taken aback by Bethany's enthusiasm. However, she did not show it. The business circle in Henkel was small enough that Robin and Bethany would run into each other frequently. With that in mind, Robin matched the older lady's enthusiasm.Robin had attended plenty of social events like this
Jean's gaze fell on Bethany as she said with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Harper, you're not wrong, but Ms. Sage here is different. She's very capable at work and brilliant in all aspects. She isn't well-suited to take on the role of a housewife."Furthermore, Ms. Sage has also taken on the position of vice president at Weiss Group. There's no way Mr. Weiss would let her quit so easily."If Ms. Sage eventually gets married, it'll surely be something that'll be handled internally."Upon hearing Jean's words, doubt flashed in Bethany's eyes.Many people didn't know that Terence was adopted by the Weiss family. As such, Bethany didn't understand what Jean meant.But seeing how confidently Jean spoke, Bethany instantly felt embarrassed to continue talking about the topic.Soon, a maid came to Bethany's side and whispered, "Madam Blake is here."Kathy and Bethany were schoolmates. But on a day like today, Bethany hadn't invited Kathy.Everyone in their social circle was well-informed
Robin spoke calmly while looking at Kathy, as if she wasn't worried about offending Kathy in the slightest.Kathy's expression immediately darkened upon hearing that. Her hands were clenched tightly together. If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, Kathy would've raised her hand against Robin to teach her a lesson already.Bethany stood to the side and felt somewhat embarrassed about the situation that was unfolding. She then said to Kathy, "Our friends are over there. Why bother arguing with the youngsters? Come on, I'll bring you over there to meet them."Bethany intended to give Kathy a way out of the situation.After all, Robin didn't seem to be an easy person to deal with.Bethany had initially thought that Robin had a weak personality, but she hadn't expected Robin to bring up something embarrassing about Kathy in such a setting. Robin had hit Kathy's weak spot right away.Naturally, Kathy couldn't say anything to refute that.Bethany took Kathy's hand and started to
