Robin froze as soon as she heard what Sean said. "I wouldn't consider my relationship with Brian as 'very close'. We're just acquaintances."In fact, she had little contact with Brian. They had never even spent time together in private. Sean's question couldn't help but make Robin nervous. She couldn't understand why people thought they were close when in reality, they were only acquaintances. Hearing this, Sean asked with a raised eyebrow, "Just acquaintances? What about us? Do you see us as acquaintances too?"Robin was caught off guard by Sean's words. She didn't know what to say. "You're one of the few people who have my phone number, Ms. Sage," Sean continued."Mr. Page …" Robin began awkwardly.The reason Robin had Sean's number was that Tyler used to spend a lot of time with him, which made it necessary for her to contact him. Without letting Robin finish, Sean continued, "The thought of you seeing us as just acquaintances makes me sad. Plus, you've won so much
Robin was nervous. Her gaze couldn't help flitting to Terence. After all, Terence didn't have any feelings for her. Or was it because of Brian?Most of the women Brian dated were gold diggers who were extremely materialistic.People like him just dated those women for fun.Terence was different.He never wanted any of that, not even for fun. He found it very disgusting. That was why Robin was worried that her image would be ruined.Even if she decided to stop seeking his attention, she still wished to leave a good impression on him.She wanted him to remember her as a capable and outstanding woman, not just someone Brian dated. As Robin looked toward Terence, their eyes met. Her lips moved. She tried to explain but found herself unable to.Considering her relationship with Terence, offering an explanation would only seem odd.Robin kept silent.Jean spoke up hurriedly, "The last time I asked, Robin told me she had no intention of changing her job. She's not leaving Lar
Robin could defend herself in many ways, but everything she wanted to say was stuck in her throat.Moreover, Terence was speaking from a rather objective perspective. Robin was left in a state where she couldn't defend herself. "You're right, Mr. Weiss. But I don't belong in the top drawer of society."However, you are right about something. Women like us will eventually get married and have our own families. I will consider your suggestion and find a decent partner, Mr. Weiss."Robin delivered those words with finesse. She agreed that she was working hard to pursue a better life, but she had no intention of marrying into a wealthy family like the Collinses. Jean sighed in relief after seeing Robin's calm reaction.Terence didn't look so good. He held his wine glass as he stared at Robin. Robin's body stiffened.He looked away while he clinked glasses with Sean. "I thought you were busy preparing for your marriage."Robin was taken aback and couldn't help but glance at
Terence nodded in satisfaction and then remained silent. Robin and Terence barely had any conversation throughout the dinner.Terence was a man of few words, while Robin felt awkward.Conversations between Tyler and Sean dominated the dinner table instead. Just when they were almost done eating, Brian came.His face lit up when he saw Robin."Terence, why didn't you tell me that Ms. Sage was here?"Terence looked coldly at Brian upon hearing his question. "Would you have dumped your beloved and rushed here if I had told you?"Brian chuckled embarrassedly and said, "Isn't the answer obvious? For Ms. Sage, of course, I would."Pulling out a chair, he sat down next to Sean. His eyes were fixed on Robin."Hello, Ms. Sage. We meet again."Robin used to greet him with a friendly smile.But this time, the smile on Robin's face was clearly distant.After all, Robin didn't want unnecessary rumors of her and Brian going around.Brian always had tons of women around him, and she
Thinking of this, Robin felt a headache coming. She had always been diligent and responsible at work. How did she get involved with such a playboy? No matter how she looked at it, she felt that she had been at a disadvantage. Moreover, she was certain that Terence had misunderstood her. Seeing Terence coming out of Angevin's Place, Tyler took Jean's hand and said softly, "Let's go." Jean saw that Robin was doing fine by herself, so she waved to her and left with Tyler. After Jean and Tyler left, Robin sighed and said to the chauffeur, "Come with me. My car is parked down the road." She walked ahead while rubbing her forehead. She had drunk too hastily today. Now, she felt a burning sensation in her stomach and slight dizziness. Robin handed her car keys to the chauffeur standing behind her. An elegant hand received them, making her stunned momentarily. She raised her head and froze immediately. "Mr. Weiss …" An awkward expression appeared on Robin's fac
Terence stepped into the car and sat beside Robin. She felt a sense of oppression, which made her feel uncomfortable. "Drive." With Terence's instruction, the driver immediately set off toward The Iris Indigo. Robin was so nervous that she didn't notice this detail. Terence clearly did not tell the driver where to go, but he knew. Since taking on the role of chief secretary at Larson Group, Robin had hosted many VIPs and interacted with numerous distinguished guests. However, she had never felt this nervous before. Terence was quiet during the entire ride. After taking deep breaths to calm her emotions, Robin looked at Terence and said with a smile, "Mr. Weiss, you mentioned earlier that you had some work-related matters to discuss." Terence glanced at Robin and said calmly, "I've forgotten about it." She was stunned. Because she drank hastily today, Robin's face was a little flushed now. Plus, her heart had been racing, making her face unusually crimson. Robin
Terence looked at Robin for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. "Well, you can go." Robin hesitated for a moment and then smiled awkwardly. "Please excuse me." Terence remained seated, his expression unchanged. At this time, the driver got out of the car. Robin sat stiffly. Now, it was just her and Terence in the car. She bit her lip lightly and hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Weiss, is there something you want to say to me?" Terence looked at her expressionlessly and spoke in a calm tone, "I thought you had something to say to me." Robin looked somewhat puzzled. She took a deep breath and then said hesitantly, "Mr. Weiss, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused at work. I'll be more careful when dealing with Weiss Group's projects in the future. I promise not to create any more problems." She felt that Terence probably didn't want to discuss anything other than work-related matters between them. Besides work, she couldn't think of any other common topics that th
Terence asked the question as if it were the most natural thing. His gaze was fixed on Robin.A sudden tension gripped Robin, causing her to freeze in place.Terence was aware of Robin's feelings for him.She couldn't shake the thought that maybe she had been too transparent.Earlier, alcohol had made her mind foggy. But now, Terence's words helped her become clear-headed again.She understood Terence's personality well.If she admitted her feelings and got turned down, it might affect her job.Robin was usually calm and collected at work. Yet, blending emotions with her professional life could make even her ideal job a cause of worry.In the end, it could push her to the edge of losing her sanity.Gathering her thoughts, Robin took a deep breath and looked Terence in the eye."Mr. Weiss, are you ... thinking about marriage?"Terence frowned at the question and shook his head."No."His answer relieved Robin.Maintaining a calm demeanor, she looked at Terence and said wit
