Jane successfully resolved the brewing crisis with just a single sentence.Alison and Emmett promptly moved on to the next table.Jean's expression didn't change much. At this moment, Tyler tightened his grip on her hand.Jean could feel the warmth Tyler was trying to provide. She pursed her lips and smiled a little.After hearing what Alison said, it was clear that Jean's relationship with Emmett wasn't as simple as she thought.Joyce looked at Jean with a small smile and whispered, "I guess Ms. Matthias is still feeling resentful toward you."Joyce knew that Jean had lost her memories and was aware that Tyler had definitely chosen to hide the truth from Jean. As such, she mentioned it casually.Tyler shot Joyce a cold glare.Joyce immediately shut her mouth. However, before she completely quieted down, she said quietly, "Jean, you must've felt burdened by it. It's not your fault, though. You didn't do anything wrong."Jean frowned slightly at that.After lunch, all the gues
After she returned to Larson Group, Jean settled into her workstation.When Tyler returned to the office for his lunch break, he gave Jean a heads-up. "I've already got Ms. Sage to handle today's matters. Why don't you come in and take a break?"Jean had other tasks to attend to, so she declined. "You go ahead and rest. I need to go through some documents.”Observing Jean's earnest demeanor, Tyler nodded slightly and retreated into his private office.Jean waited until Tyler began resting before she quickly left her workstation.There was a communications store near the office. Jean immediately went there with her ID card to replace her SIM card.Currently, Jean was using a SIM card registered under Tyler's name. Her social media accounts were also newly created. However, she felt an urge to retrieve her old social media accounts.In just half an hour, Jean successfully replaced her old SIM card.As she inserted the card into her phone, an inexplicable tension gripped her. She
Jean returned to her workstation and placed the SIM card inside a notebook at the very bottom of her drawer. Only then did she start her work.She felt mentally unprepared to log into her social media platforms, so she dared not do it just yet.After she dealt with some documents, Robin brought them over to Jean.When Jean saw the files, she picked one up and was about to peruse it. Robin pressed her hand down on it and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go just now?"Jean's expression flickered imperceptibly upon hearing Robin's question. She had always thought she hid her actions well, but apparently, Robin had noticed.After a moment of silence, Jean smiled and replied, "I went to the file room." Robin raised an eyebrow slightly, removed her hand from the file, and said in a hushed voice, "You're lying."Jean felt Robin's sharp gaze on her, so she took a deep breath and changed the subject. "Remember how I mentioned wanting to move to your apartment area?"Robin nodded.
Robin walked fast, deliberately creating distance between herself and Terence. Terence watched Robin's brisk pace with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He followed her at a leisurely pace.Robin had taken a ride in Terence's car to the office this morning. So now, with Terence picking her up, it was natural for her to ride back with him. This had been their routine for the past few days. Robin wore a resigned expression on her face. Every day, as soon as she entered the underground parking lot, Terence would corner her. Once inside Terence's car, she fastened her seatbelt and glanced at him. After a moment's hesitation, she said in a low voice, "Mr. Weiss, starting tomorrow, you don't have to pick me up anymore. I can drive myself here." Hearing Robin's words, Terence furrowed his brows and replied in a deep voice, "Oh? Afraid I'll mess up your love life?" Robin raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze serious as she looked at Terence. Then, she smiled faintly and said,
When Robin answered Terence, her tone was particularly indifferent.She slowly shifted her gaze away from him. Upon seeing his dark expression, her lips curled into a casual smile.Robin had deliberately said what she did.Terence sighed, his expression turning somewhat indifferent.Upon arriving at The Iris Indigo, Terence stopped his car. Robin immediately opened the car door and got out with a smile on her face."Thank you for the ride back, Mr. Weiss," she said.She continued, "I'd like to drive myself to the company tomorrow, so you don't have to come over."Robin didn't bring up the issue about Terence moving into her apartment building.It seemed as if she wasn't curious about the matter at all. She maintained a calm and nonchalant demeanor the entire time.She walked briskly into the elevator of the apartment building. When she turned around, her lips curled into a small smile at the sight of Terence sitting in his car.Terence watched Robin walk into the elevator wit
Robin's expression remained remarkably calm. After regaining her composure, she spun on her heel and walked into the kitchen. She then poured herself a glass of water to calm down.After she finished the glass of water in hand, helplessness flashed across her features.If she hadn't continued to ask Terence questions and avoided talking about that touchy subject, things might not have become so awkward and tense.After steadying her emotions, Robin turned to Terence, who was sitting on the couch. "Fine. Since you've offered, let's settle on a price," she said.When Robin spoke, her tone was unusually calm.No one could sense that she was trembling on the inside.Robin had pined over Terence for many years, after all. Having all of her efforts turned into a monetary transaction was something she found difficult to truly accept.However, she knew that if she didn't accept it, the relationship she had with Terence would end up becoming a thing of the past.Robin took a deep brea
Robin was submitting herself to the circumstances.She might as well take the initiative to bring it up first. If Terence beat her to it, she would end up being hurt for a long time. Sighing, she walked toward the seat Terence sat in earlier. Her eyes were filled with despair as she sat down and looked up at the ceiling. They used to say secretaries were just presidents' playthings.Robin was lucky to work for Tyler, who didn't make her his plaything. Unfortunately, she became another president's plaything instead. And this time, she did it voluntarily. Robin massaged her temples. She couldn't help thinking that what she did was indeed crazy. Perhaps things started going out of control since the night she saw Terence in her home. Robin was willing to bet that she still had a place in Terence's heart.Terence intended to bid farewell as he left Robin's apartment when he heard the door close. His face darkened as he looked at the tightly shut door. He stepped to the
Lukas, upon hearing Robin being polite to him, continued saying, "No problem. It's no trouble at all. "Your parents must have wanted us to spend time getting to know each other by passing me these things to deliver to you."His words left Robin speechless. She took a deep breath and subtly changed her expression, unsure of how to respond to him. At that moment, the door opposite her apartment suddenly opened. Terence stood at the door, observing Robin, who was heading toward the elevator. "Where are you going?"Robin inhaled deeply. Obviously, Lukas heard Terence's voice. Lukas, on the other end of the line, immediately fell silent. Robin replied with pursed lips, "My friend wants to pass me something. I need to go down and take it from him. Weren't you resting?" Terence glanced at her and said casually, "I'll go with you." Her expression subtly shifted, and she proceeded to utter, "Mr. Jenkins, please wait a moment."After she finished speaking, she promptly
