Brian nudged Tyler and declared with a grin, "Who else could it be? I'd like to poach your chief secretary, Robin Sage."

Jean's expression fell upon hearing Brian's wish. She wondered if Tyler would really allow his right-hand subordinate, Robin, to work for Brian.

She bit her lip. She was unwilling to part ways with Robin, the first colleague who got along with her today.

Without Robin, adjusting to office life would take forever.

She lifted her gaze and noticed Terence slamming his wine glass on the table with a hint of fury. He hadn't spoken much apart from teasing her during the introduction.

Terence appeared to be infuriated, which puzzled Jean. Why would Terence be angry when not even Tyler was angry at the request?

Terence finally interjected, "Brian, you know that Ty is struggling with his health. Who's going to take over Ms. Sage's work if you poach her?"

Brian was taken aback by Terence's indignant speech before replying bashfully, "Terence, from your tone, people ar

    After Jean's protest, Terence's expression relaxed. He lifted his wine glass to drink once more.Brian was caught off guard. Soon, he replied with a smile, "Ms. Sage is the only woman I've met so far in my life who I like and would like to marry."Jean pressed her lips and secretly cursed him out. What bad luck for Robin to have Brian as a suitor. However, she didn't openly display her displeasure because Brian was, after all, Tyler's friend.She mused, "If you're interested in her, why don't you pursue her? Besides, we don't own her. If you want to poach her, she has to first agree to it. We can let her go if she's willing to work for you. Otherwise, we couldn't possibly force her out of the company."Brian was stumped by Jean's argument. However, he didn't seem bothered or angered by her statement. She guessed he mustn't be super interested in Robin, after all. He seemed to be fine with any woman as his future wife."You're right. Look, I never give women a hard time, especially

    Sean flashed a grin as he deftly arranged the cards in his hands, finding amusement in Jean's reaction. "Relax, Jean. In this group, aside from Brian, no one else is a playboy. And with Terence around, Ms. Sage is in safe hands."Jean raised an eyebrow. Her gaze settled on Terence, who spoke in a solemn tone upon catching her eye, "Invite her over. I'll make sure she's well taken care of."Only then did Jean loosen her grip on Tyler. After calling Robin, Tyler settled back down for a few more rounds of the game.Ten minutes later, Robin burst into the room. As soon as she entered, her eyes swiftly sought out Terence. A subtle change swept across Jean's expression. Jean easily recognized the familiar look in Robin's eyes, as Jean often sought out Tyler whenever they were in the same room.With Robin's arrival, Tyler rose from his seat and calmly said, "It's on me if you lose."Robin nodded as she mustered a smile. "Mr. Larson, don't worry. I've never found myself on the losing si

    Even though Robin was making a name in the industry and catching the eye of many companies, Terence remained unruffled.Relationships could be quite puzzling, after all.Tyler gently ran his fingers through Jean's hair, saying, "Don't worry about Ms. Sage's love life. She knows what she's doing. Just focus on yourself."Jean nestled into Tyler's hug. "Our relationship has been pretty stable, hasn't it? There's nothing to be worried about."Grinning, Tyler hugged her a little tighter.Back at Teak Villa, Jean finished her nightly routine. Like always, she slept on the sofa bed in Tyler's room.That night, her dreams picked up from where they stopped in the company's lounge. The next morning, thinking about the dream made her blush without meaning to.It felt like she was about to lose her mind.Finding Jean already awake on the sofa bed, Tyler came out of the bathroom and said, "You had a dream last night."Jean was startled, and her cheeks turned red as she asked, "How did you

    In Tyler's arms, Jean looked like a tiny kitten snuggling up to him, appearing soft and fragile. She held onto his arm firmly. Tyler could sense her nervousness from her dazed look.Watching the way Jean acted, Tyler finally figured out what she had dreamed about last night. He leaned in and hugged her tightly. Then, he whispered near her ear, "Jean, are you thinking about …"His warm breath reddened her ears. Frozen within Tyler's embrace, Jean's face now bore a deep blush.Unable to resist, he gently nibbled her earlobe. Jean shuddered, and a flicker of fear passed through her eyes. The feeling was strange, truly beyond words. She whispered, "You …"Tyler lowered his gaze, noting the mix of fear and anticipation in her expression. Chuckling softly, he said, "If you want it, just help me undo my buttons."Tyler had woken up early today. By the time Jean opened her eyes, he had freshened up and was dressed in a suit.She felt a strange excitement as her trembling hand reached out

    Jean bit her lip as she felt a change in Tyler's body. She mumbled, "Why do you still have so much energy?"She looked a bit startled. After all, Tyler had just put in some serious work.Tyler couldn't help but grin at Jean's bewildered expression. His hands continued to scrub Jean's back."Ever heard of afterglow?" Tyler asked.Jean shook her head, signaling she hadn't. Yet, as Tyler's deep laughter echoed, she felt certain that whatever it was, it wasn't anything too proper.Tyler held Jean tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear, "You're my afterglow. That's why I never get tired with you around."She couldn't help but shudder involuntarily at his words, with goosebumps forming on parts of her skin that weren't covered in water."You're … too cheesy," she teased. She looked a bit shy. Yet, Tyler's cheesiness made her feel loved and cherished.He continued to hug her. After a brief pause, he spoke in a deep voice, "Stay put. Otherwise, I'll make you late for work." Sud

    Jean cast a surprised glance at Tyler and asked, "Did you used to style other people's hair?"She wondered how he got so good at it.Jean tried many times earlier but couldn't get it right. Yet, Tyler finished it in no time.With her hair done up, she looked a lot more spirited. Tyler couldn't help but gaze at her a little longer. In a gentle tone, he said, "I've only done your hair."Jean was a bit moved by that.Looking at her, he murmured, "Let's head downstairs for breakfast."Jean gave a quick nod. Then, she remembered Dorian was coming home today."What time are Dorian and the others flying in?" Jean asked."7:00 pm. We can pick them up after work," Tyler replied.Jean nodded her head. She added with a smile, "Sounds good. We haven't been to Larson Residence in two days, so let's take Dorian along to visit his grandmother."Tyler nodded along. He put his arm around her shoulders as they went downstairs.The couple had been doing great lately. Sophia was happy seeing

    Leaning over, Jean whispered to Robin, "Ms. Sage, how long have you liked Mr. Weiss?"​​Robin was stunned for a moment, and her face immediately turned red.​​"Where did you hear about that?"Jean answered softly, "Yesterday, I saw that you started looking at Mr. Weiss as soon as you entered the private room. During the dinner, he also defended you. That's how I noticed that you like him."​​Robin looked at Jean with surprise.​​Even Jean had noticed that she liked Terence. Did the others also notice it?​​"Am I that obvious?"​​Robin patted her cheeks to calm herself down.​​Jean nodded seriously. "I think so. Maybe ..."While speaking, she hesitated.

I noticed it because we're both women."​​Looking at Jean's smile, Robin relaxed a lot.​​"Th

Then, she replied, "Dad, you really don't need to rush back home."Conner had already sold the family business in Swiree when Alina was hospitalized in Henkel.

    Robin's response was in no way problematic.From her response, it was clear how cautious and serious she was when dealing with matters of the heart.Brian sighed and looked at Robin deeply.However, Robin deliberately avoided Brian's gaze at this moment.She didn't want him to waste his time on her. Robin certainly didn't want Brian's friendship with Terence to be negatively affected because of her.Seeing that Robin was deliberately avoiding his gaze, Brian curled his lips into a small smile and said softly, "You don't need to be so wary of me. I'm not going to force you to help me."I'm glad to see that you're going steady with Terence. I'm looking forward to attending your guys' wedding."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips lightly.

Don't be too upset if you can help it."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips. She replied in a soft voice, "I already expected this to happen, so I'm not too upset by it. I just feel a bit helpless at the moment."Although Robin had already anticipated this outcome, she couldn't change it.Robin sighed as a hint of grief filled her eyes.Brian walked over to sit beside her. His tone was gentle as he said, "Death is inevitable for everyone, after all. People either die from old age or sickness. Try to take it easy."Aunt Alina probably wouldn't want you to be so upset either."Robin nodded and turned her gaze toward Brian. When she noticed that was wearing a suit, she asked, "Where we

    During her conversation with Alina, Robin had already tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She did not expect Alina to get so worked up.Robin simply didn't want Alina to use her past as an example to educate Robin.After all, everybody was living a different life.Robin would never settle for second best.Robin sat quietly as the doctor continued talking. But she didn't hear a word he said.  Noticing Robin's low spirits, Conner said softly to her after the doctor left, "Roo, don't burden yourself with all this. This day was bound to come sooner or later."Although Conner was trying to comfort Robin, his voice was hoarse and contained a hint of melancholy that he failed to conceal.Robin took a deep breath. With her reddened, teary eyes, she told Conner, "I shouldn't have argued with her knowing she was sick. With her current state, it's my fault that I insisted on my point."Conner sighed with a hint of helplessness in his expression. He avoided Robin's eyes and

    Robin took a deep breath and said softly, "Don't worry about Chandler. Terence will handle it."After all, Chandler raised Terence like a son despite not being blood-related. The bond between them was too strong for Terence to ignore."Just focus on getting better."Alina went silent for a while. Robin chose not to say anything further either.She wanted to end the discussion in Alina's silence. But to her surprise, Alina uttered hesitantly after a long pause, "No, Terence will not care about Chandler."If Terence helps Chandler out, Weiss Group will face setbacks. Terence prioritizes his interests above all else. He won't care about Chandler. I…"Robin watched Alina getting worked up as she continued talking. Robin couldn't help but feel bad.However, she couldn't pinpoint her feelings. Did she feel bad because after all these years, Alina still cared about Chandler? Or was it because Conner's effort was being overlooked by Alina?Even though Chandler was her biological father

    Conner had been working tirelessly to take care of the family. Even now that Alina fell ill, he cared for her selflessly."I should go back and check on your mom. If not, she'll wake up and find herself alone."Robin felt bad watching Conner's silhouette. She and Conner went back to the ward together.

So, Robin stayed back to keep Alina company.Robin kept her gaze fixed on Alina's weary face and asked softly, "Mom, do you want me to end up like you?"Alina paused for a moment after listening to Robin as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.

    Terence was waiting at a traffic light, so his surroundings were noisy. As Robin's voice was very soft, Terence couldn't quite make out what she was saying.   "I'm heading to the hospital to check on her now. How are things with your mom?" Terence repeated his question to Robin again.  Robin went silent.  She had already decided to be with Terence, and he had also publicly clarified that nothing was happening between him and Monica. So, it would be childish of her to ask the question again because he had already made things clear.  Robin's lips were pressed together, and her expression had reverted back to normal. She said, "She's fine here. Don't worry about it."  She then murmured softly under her breath, "I'll call you back later. Drive safely."  As soon as she finished talking, she immediately ended the call.  Terence didn't give it much thought after Robin ended the call.
