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
Robin had explicitly rejected Terence's invitation to work at Wess Group, after all.Refusing someone as proud as Terence right in front of Tyler meant that there probably would be zero chance for them to be together in the future.She had a clear understanding of her own role.Even though Terence's capabilities undoubtedly contributed to the success he achieved, it couldn't be denied that his uncle, Chandler Weiss, had helped him out a lot.Chandler had arranged for his niece to work closely with Terence. It was clear that he was trying to get them together.Terence had always respected Chandler. Even though he had set his mind against marriage, it wouldn't be surprising if he changed his mind because of Chandler's influence.Robin took a deep breath to steady her emotions. Then, she walked with Lukas to a food stall.Lukas had already ordered, so he asked Robin to sit and wait.Robin couldn't help but sigh deeply as she watched Lukas busy himself among the many food stalls
Robin's gaze grew heavy when she heard what Terence said. Instead of responding to his question, she managed to rein in her emotions and took a deep breath silently.Seeing that Robin didn't answer him immediately, he was momentarily taken aback. Just as he was about to reach for the light switch, Robin, who had been standing quietly before him, suddenly moved.She tiptoed and caressed Terence's face. Then, she made the first move to press her lips against his.Terence was truly taken aback by that, and his eyes widened. Eventually, he wrapped his arms around Robin's slender waist and was led by Robin toward the bedroom.Since the situation was already so absurd, Robin figured it only made sense to make it become even more so.Although Robin had been the one to make the first move, when it finally came time to do the deed, her whole body stiffened.She took a deep breath to regain her composure.After an unknown amount of time passed, the two finally concluded their night of pas
Terence couldn't see Robin's expression from his current position. However, he could guess just how resolute her cold gaze was.He had already witnessed how decisive Robin was that afternoon, after all."It's alright if you don't want to work at Weiss Group, but you can't end our relationship just because you say you want to."Robin, what we did just now wasn't a spur-in-the-moment thing for me," he said.Upon hearing that, Robin took a deep breath and furrowed her brows. She then turned to look at Terence, who was still lying beside her."Mr. Weiss …"She had barely finished her words before Terence sealed her lips with his.This time, the man did not let Robin do all the work. He took the initiative and made love proactively.Robin was completely startled by his aggression.Before she drifted into a deep sleep, she couldn't help but think how annoying it was that Terence's stamina was so great.…When Robin woke up the next morning, there was no one beside her.Upon seein
Rowena was infuriated by Robin's words. However, she didn't know how to counter them.Robin's lips curled into a small smile as she observed the resentful expression on Rowena's face.Then, she said in a low voice, "As long as I'm around, I'm still your superior."Ms. Quigley, I want to see your performance report for this month on my desk before three o'clock today."Then, Robin spun on her heel and made her way to her office.Rowena took a deep breath as displeasure flashed across her features. Eventually, she went back to her desk.…Meanwhile, Jean had returned from dealing with some business matters outside.Jean had already begun to take charge of her own projects in recent days.When she returned, she happened to spot Rowena walking past her with a dissatisfied expression.Jean raised an eyebrow slightly and chose not to dwell on the matter too much. She then made her way to her desk, where she began to work on her tasks.As the chief secretary's assistant, all the do
Emmett snapped out of his thoughts once he heard Alison's voice. With a faint smile on his lips, he asked softly, "What brings you here so early?"Alison pursed her lips and replied, "I know you've been really busy lately and probably didn't have the chance to eat anything for breakfast today. I came to check on you."Who knew that my guess would be spot-on? You really haven't had anything for breakfast."Emmett couldn't help but smile upon hearing that."As long as you're around to care for me, I can always rely on you to send me breakfast when I forget," he said gently.Alison pursed her lips and placed the food she brought in front of Emmett.When she put the food down on the desk, Alison casually glanced at the documents there as well. Upon seeing that they were documents from Larson Group, Alison's eyes dimmed slightly. She gathered the documents and set them aside.No wonder Emmett was so engrossed in the documents just now.Alison heard that Jean had been back in the cou
Emmett could tell from Alison's wary expression that his casual proposal had deeply hurt her.He truly owed an explanation to not only Alison but to the rest of the Matthiases as well.However, the person he truly loved wasn't just Alison.Emmett hummed in acknowledgment and said, "I've already made up my mind. We can go ahead and register our marriage this time."Upon hearing this, Alison was momentarily stunned. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.However, since Emmett had said so, Alison was more than willing to register their marriage.After they finished their discussion, Alison returned to the Matthiases' residence.She had only just reached the doorstep and had yet to set foot into her home when she received a call from Jane."Alison, Emmett has already told me that he wants to marry you."I'm on my way to the Matthiases' residence now. Emmett is worried that your parents might disapprove, so he asked me to talk to them first," she said.Due to the past issues betw
Jane was buttering up Christine enthusiastically while John noticed how dearly Alison was holding onto her ID. Eventually, he breathed a heavy sigh and said, "Eric, please see our guests out." Alison was initially surprised by John's reaction, but she calmed down almost immediately after. Though John had not flat-out objected to the wedding between Alison and Emmett, he did not support their decision either. He was worried that Alison would threaten to harm herself if they did not agree to it. After all, the Matthias family had been bitterly disappointed with Alison's past actions.Just like that, Jane and Alison were asked to leave the residence. Alison suddenly felt lost as the main door was closed in her face. Meanwhile, Jane was puffing with discontentment after being mistreated by the Matthiases. The upside was that Alison had gotten her ID. With that, Alison and Emmett registered their marriage the next day. Everything felt surreal to Alison even when she was hol
