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
Once Jean walked out of the ward, she picked up Joyce's call."Hello," she greeted with a distant tone, though she knew exactly who was calling."This is Jean speaking. May I ask who's calling?"Upon hearing her voice, Joyce hurriedly exclaimed, "It's Joyce, your sister! This is bad, Jean. Dad had an accident!"Jean was taken aback by her words, and her expression notably stiffened. Timothy was caught in an accident?Taking a deep breath, Jean tried to resist her urge to probe further. Joyce kept on talking. "We're currently at Dortsham's central hospital, and Dad's in really bad shape. If you come over now, you can still share a final moment with him before it's too late," Joyce stated, swiftly passing on the address to Jean.Jean drew in a deep breath. Her grip on her phone tightened as she fell into a moment of silence.Joyce anxiously waited for Jean's response but was met with silence. Jean could hear the commotion on Joyce's end, and shortly after, Joyce ended the cal
As soon as the car disappeared from her view, Robin averted her gaze and proceeded to enter the hospital. She was certain that Jean and Tyler had come to visit Terence and figured he knew what had happened to them."My only hope is that nothing has gone wrong with the company. Otherwise, I'll have to hurry back for some overtime," she thought grudgingly.Arriving at Terence's ward, she set down the thermos she had brought and turned to him. "I just saw Ms. Michaels and Mr. Larson rush out of the hospital. Is something wrong?" she asked worriedly. Terence wasn't happy that Robin's attention was directed toward the couple upon her entry. Still, he understood that Jean was dealing with a challenging situation and honestly responded, "Mr. Michael had an accident in Dortsham. They're on their way there now."Taken aback by his words, Robin swiftly retrieved her phone to check for the news. After all, they were living in the age of digitalization. She reasoned that someone would've shar
