Upon hearing what Jasmine said, Toby plastered a smile on his face and greeted, "Mrs. Hanker."At this moment, Jean also stepped forward and took a seat next to Tyler.Toby glanced over at her casually but was quick to shift his gaze away. He acted as if he didn't recognize Jean at all.Jean felt a bit awkward as tension filled the air.Once Jean took her seat, Tyler reached out to hold her hand to comfort her.Jasmine looked at Toby with a smile on her face, then turned to look around the surroundings."Mr. Jacobs, did you come here by yourself today?" she asked.Before Toby could respond, Jasmine added jokingly, "I thought you would've brought my dear Marco here a female celebrity to have fun with."Toby smiled and replied, "I came here by myself."Coldness flashed in Jasmine's eyes. She replied coldly, "Even if you hadn't come alone, Marco wouldn't have fallen for your tricks anyway. Mr. Myers and Mr. Fisher won't be easily fooled either."Mr. Jacobs, we're not from the sa
After discussions about the western suburbs project were finalized, Marco decided to end the vacation.The group then left the golf course the next day.Tyler and Jean heard from Owen that Toby had left the day before.It was clear that since Toby knew he would be unsuccessful with the project negotiation, he chose to leave the golf course early.Jean and Tyler flew back to Henkel.After returning to Henkel, the first thing Tyler did was visit the Hanker residence to visit Borris.Even though they had already secured the project, Marco might not have signed the agreement with Tyler so readily without Borris' help.They owed the success of their project negotiation to Borris' influence.After finalizing the project, Jean found that she was starting to get a hang of the workflow.However, it seemed that Tyler had forgotten about sending Robin off to work at Weiss Group.Jean could sense that Robin was feeling rather down recently and suggested, "Shouldn't we call to check if Mr
This time, Tyler directly called Robin into his office so that she could make the decision herself.When Robin walked into the office and saw Terence sitting on the chair opposite Tyler, she couldn't help but feel nervous.She took a deep breath to regain her composure. Then, she walked over to Tyler and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Larson, is there something you need from me?"Tyler glanced at Terence, then said to her, "Mr. Weiss here wants you to work for him at Weiss Group. He's a good friend of mine, and he came all the way here to recruit you. I can't keep you here against your will, so the choice is in your hands."Upon hearing that, Robin's expression shifted slightly. She looked over at Terence and took a deep breath."Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Weiss. After careful consideration, I think it's better for me to stay at Larson Group."If you had asked me a few years ago, I might've been willing to take on this new challenge. But perhaps due to my age now, I prefer the
After Robin returned to her office, she took a few sips of water to calm herself down.Once she regained her composure, she settled into her seat and continued to work.It was at this moment that she received a message from Lukas, "Ms. Sage, I just remembered that you still owe me a movie date."Robin paused for a moment when she read Lukas' message. She recalled that she had to reschedule their date previously. Lukas had asked that she make up for it next time.She rubbed her temples. A moment later, he sent her a digital copy of a movie ticket."Ms. Sage, you're not going to let me see another film by myself again, are you?" he wrote.Robin couldn't help but feel helpless when she saw the movie ticket Lukas had sent her. It was a movie that Larson Group had invested in. It was a romantic movie titled "Years Stolen by Time".This movie's script had caught Robin's attention when she first reviewed it. She had later worked on an investment plan for it too.The movie had been r
As Tyler spoke, he shot Jean a meaningful look to signal her to stop speaking.Logically speaking, the couple should already have a comprehensive understanding of the other's style when it came to work matters. Jean should be able to understand the meaning behind the look.However, Jean acted as if she couldn't understand the look Tyler gave her. She continued speaking, "Oh, so that's how it is."Well, that'd be great. Ms. Sage is Larson Group's chief secretary, after all. If she were to transfer over to Weiss Group, she would technically be demoted. Our former colleagues here might criticize her if that happened."It's good news that we can avoid that from happening."Upon hearing that, Terence furrowed his brows slightly.Robin felt incredibly embarrassed at this moment.They were in the same elevator, after all. Robin found the air exceptionally stifling.She knew that Jean was trying to stand up for her. However, Robin didn't know why she was the one who was discomforted by
However, Lukas did not ask Robin about it and merely started to drive.While he reversed the car, he glanced at the entrance of Larson Group.When he saw Tyler and the others there, a hint of surprise flashed in Lukas' eyes.It was because he noticed that Tyler and the others were looking in their direction. Lukas couldn't help but feel a little puzzled."It seems to me like Mr. Larson's pretty concerned about your private life, huh?" Lukas remarked with a smile.When he saw how uncomfortable Robin looked earlier, he came to that conclusion himself.Lukas knew a bit about Tyler. His relationship with Jean wasn't a secret in their circle, after all.Robin rubbed her forehead and said in a low voice, "Mr. Larson won't comment on much."After saying that, her expression remained calm.Lukas nodded and replied, "That makes sense. But you're a pretty important person in Larson Group now. Even if you were to get married and have children, Mr. Larson probably wouldn't want you to lea
Lukas himself had pretty exceptional qualities.Not many women would refuse to get together with him.Seeing how honest Robin was with him, Lukas figured that they could probably spend some time together as friends at the moment.After all, Robin was the only woman Lukas had encountered in recent years whom he enjoyed spending time with.They took their seats at the cinema together.Robin sat right next to Lukas.Once the movie started, Robin and Lukas didn't talk much.Robin was engrossed in watching the movie.The romance film they were watching didn't have many melodramatic plot points. The story was rather cliche too.In the film, the female lead had been secretly pining after the male lead for many years.She started pinning after him in high school and all throughout their work life.Even so, they didn't end up together.The ending was a heart-wrenching one, but it was realistic.It was true, after all. No one could walk through life with the person they secretly adm
Robin's expression remained calm. She didn't think much about what Lukas said.She sat quietly in the passenger seat and said softly, "Let's go to the food street and grab something to eat. It's been a long while since I've been there."Upon hearing that, Lukas naturally agreed."Sure," he said.After that, he immediately started the car and drove them to the food street nearby.Terence was still in his car. His gaze remained heavy as he watched Lukas drive away.When Lukas got into his car earlier, he and Terence had briefly met each other's eyes.Terence knew that Lukas had most definitely noticed him.Terence was sitting in the driver's seat. He sighed deeply, his expression darkening significantly.An unknown amount of time passed before Terence decided to start his car and drive out of the basement parking lot.Lukas kept looking in his rearview mirror while driving.He would glance over from time to time. Once he realized that the other car wasn't following them, he le
