Monica apologized sincerely as if she had done something terrible. However, it was as if she was telling Robin that her relationship with Terence was not merely an employer-employee relationship. As the chief secretary of Larson Group who had been in the industry for several years, Robin could read Monica's intention. She watched Monica walk toward the door with no intention of stopping her. She would've politely declined the offer if it had been someone else, but not if it was Monica.After Monica left, Robin arranged the breakfast neatly on a tray and presented it to Terence. "Here, you can have it first," said Robin. Terence was relieved when he sensed no anger coming from Robin. "My subordinate isn't as diligent as you. Please excuse her," said Terence. Smiling, she replied, "It's okay if she's willing to learn. The real trouble will be if she messes up on purpose. That'll be hard to rectify. "Mr. Weiss, which type of person do you think Ms. Blake falls under?" R
Terence smiled helplessly as he listened to Robin's words. His gaze then fell on Monica, and he said sternly, "Didn't you say you had an important contract that you needed me to sign?"When Monica heard Terence's words, she paused briefly before saying, "I'm sorry. I forgot about it, so I left it in the car. I'll go down to retrieve it now." Displeasure flashed in Terence's eyes when he heard that.Noticing that Terence looked impatient, Monica involuntarily took a deep breath. She then left Terence's ward to retrieve the contract.Monica had no idea that Robin was here.She just wanted to be alone with Terence for a while longer, and she did not expect Robin to be here. Now, her deliberate action of leaving the contract in the car seemed very unprofessional.Monica took a deep breath. She looked somewhat upset, but she quickly calmed herself down and retrieved the document from the car.Inside the ward, Robin sat down beside Terence's bed. She glanced at him, feeling very irri
Terence's gaze was firmly pinned on Robin's retreating back. Noticing that his attention was entirely on Robin, Monica had a resentful expression.Speaking quietly, she started reporting on work matters to Terence, but his gaze remained fixed on the door.Monica took a deep breath and murmured, "Mr. Weiss …"She had just begun speaking when Terence glanced at her coldly. He said sternly, "Ms. Blake, you aren't suitable for this job."When Monica heard that, her eyes flickered with shame.This was the first time Terence had sternly said she was unsuitable for the job.This was undoubtedly a blow to her.She took a deep breath. Biting hard on her lip, she looked at Terence and said in a whisper, "Mr. Weiss, I'll try my best to adjust myself to this position. I'll ensure that I'm capable of standing by your side."Terence eyed Monica coolly. His expression did not shift much as he said coldly, "Since the nature of your job is private, you should take care to ensure confidentiali
Monica noticed that Robin looked very calm and that she did not appear provocative or gleeful. She took a deep breath and said in a gentle tone, "I see. If I'm not chief secretary, you'll join Weiss Group, won't you?"Robin tensed up immediately. Monica was related to Terence's aunt, after all. The Blake family was a formidable force in the political circle. Even Terence had to treat the Blake family with respect. Of course, Robin would not want to offend them. It was natural for her to grow alert upon hearing Monica's question. Robin said gently with a smile, "To be capable of working in this position, Ms. Blake, you must be accomplished in your own ways. I'm not a factor in this."Monica's gaze turned steely when she heard Robin's answer, but she murmured soon after, "I heard that you've been working in Larson Group for many years. I'm sure you'll find it hard to get used to another workplace. "I notice that Mr. Weiss highly approves of your skills, though. I may have t
Robin made her way to Terence's ward. After hesitating for a while outside the door, she entered anyway. When Terence saw Robin, he asked sternly with a frown, "Where did you go?"Robin noticed that Terence had lifted his blankets, seemingly intending to go out and look for her. She raised a brow at that and said, "I went out just to buy some fruits for you. I didn't expect your work-related discussions to end so quickly."Robin walked in, carrying the bag of fruits. Her gaze flitted past Terence's face indifferently, and her expression did not shift by much. Terence's brows were tightly knitted together as he said, sounding annoyed, "I thought you ran away."Surprise flickered in Robin's eyes when she heard his words. She then smiled wryly and said, "Where can I run to? Considering how you're my benefactor now, Mr. Weiss, I have nowhere I can run to even if I want to do so."Ms. Blake practically views me as her enemy now too. If you can't ensure my safety, Mr. Weiss, I might
Robin was not so crazy about love that she would jeopardize her safety for it. Her parents had worked hard to bring her up. She would not be so selfish as to put her parents through the pain of losing her.Terence looked intently at Robin, a frown on his face. "Do you not believe in what I'm capable of?"Robin murmured with a smile, "That's not it. I just don't have much trust in our world."There was a lot at stake regarding the relations between Terence and the Blake family, after all. If Terence treated the Blake family with deference, Weiss Group would grow swiftly. Their relationship would also be a mutually beneficial one. On the other hand, Robin knew that she could not contribute much to Terence in that aspect. Humans were all practical, especially those like Terence Weiss. He was a man who had made his way, step by step, to where he was now. He was well-versed in weighing up the pros and cons of a decision. Robin did not say that out loud, though. Terence looked a
Brian looked surprised at Terence's words.He had only been out of the country for a short period. Never did he expect to hear that Robin and Terence were in a relationship upon his return. There was a gleam of confusion in his eyes. Still, Brian stated sheepishly, "What are you talking about, Terence? Of course, I'm not interested in Ms. Sage."He wore a smile on his face, though only he was aware of the sorrow deep inside his broken heart.Terence took a glance at Brian before lying back down on his bed. He then started to talk about other issues. Seeing that Terence had shifted the conversation, Brian didn't press the topic further. Still, he couldn't fathom how and when the two had gotten together.Brian stayed and chatted with Terence for the whole afternoon before excusing himself.As Terence watched him leave, a dark look shrouded his eyes.Brian had just left the ward and was heading toward the front door when Tyler arrived with Jean to visit.Upon noticing Brian w
Tyler and Jean walked up to Terence just as he ended the call with Robin. Terence looked at the couple and greeted them, "Hello, take a seat."Tyler nodded. He pulled Jean to sit on the sofa beside the bed and asked, "How are you feeling? Hasn't it been quite some time since you had stomach trouble? What's going on these days?"Lying on the bed, Terence replied, "Perhaps I've been too tired from all the work. Guess I need a break like you."Tyler raised an eyebrow at his words. Meanwhile, Jean was looking around the ward. When she saw no sight of Robin, she asked, "Ms. Sage isn't here?"In response to her question, Terence answered in a low voice, "She was. She went home to prepare my dinner."Jean gave a slight nod. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang. There was a subtle change in her expression when she spotted the familiar number on the screen. She didn't even hesitate to reject the call.Tyler frowned upon seeing her reaction. In fact, he recognized the num
