Robin shook her head in confusion."I don't," she said.Robin had no idea who Russ Cobbett was.She just had a feeling that she had heard his name somewhere before.Terence's eyes were filled with mockery as he looked at Robin's bewildered expression."He's the man Mrs. Larson wanted to set you up with," Terence said indifferently.Upon hearing this, surprise crossed Robin's features. She quickly composed herself and said in a calm tone, "I haven't learned anything about him yet. Have you looked him up for me, Mr. Weiss?"Terence glanced at her indifferently and said coldly, "He's not suitable for you."Hearing that, Robin raised an eyebrow slightly. With a small smile on her lips, she said softly, "Why not? Please elaborate on that."Terence's eyes darkened as he replied in a cold tone, "Are you interested in him?"Smiling, she replied in a low voice, "Mrs. Larson mentioned that Mr. Cobbett is gentle and kind. He's also very easy to get along with. It's only natural for me t
Terence leaned forward suddenly, closing the gap between him and Robin.She always said such terrible things that angered him to no end.It was not a pleasant evening for Robin.Terence took his own sweet time for each and every move, as though he was intentionally torturing her for revenge.…When Robin woke up the next morning, Terence was not by her side.Yawning, she got up from the bed and went to freshen herself up in the bathroom. She changed into her work clothes before leaving the house.While walking, Robin could feel that her body was still sore. Just as she opened the door and was about to leave, she saw the door opposite her apartment open.Terence walked out from there with a dark expression. He looked like he had just showered as well.Seeing that Terence came out at the same time as she did, Robin's expression changed slightly. She pursed her lips and stepped into the elevator.Terence took a glance at her, his gaze slightly indifferent.He said in a deep v
Robin arrived at Larson Group. Just as she stepped into her own office, Rowena came up to her with a mocking look on her face."Have you seen the feedback from Weiss Group, Ms. Sage?"Robin's expression changed slightly after hearing what Rowena had said. She frowned. "Is there anything wrong?"Robin walked to her desk and sat on her office chair as she spoke. She flipped through the document sent from Weiss Group.Robin's expression suddenly changed as she studied the data. It was worse than the worst-case scenario that she had imagined previously.The data was abnormal. If it went on, it would definitely cause a huge financial loss.Rowena noticed that Robin's facial expression had turned sour. The corners of her lips lifted slightly.She whispered in Robin's ears, "Looks like your mind hasn't been on work lately, Ms. Sage. Otherwise, an issue like this wouldn't have happened."Robin's expression changed. Rowena continued to look at her mockingly and whispered, "I don't thi
Of course, Robin knew the relationship between Monica and Chandler. What Wilson was implying was that she would be the only person taking responsibility for this. She rubbed her temple again helplessly and said, "I know." Robin understood the rules at work. Whoever signed the document would be held responsible for any mistake.She sighed helplessly. She was at a loss for words momentarily. This was the first time she made a rookie mistake like this. She would never repeat it again."I've emailed you the amended proposal, Mr. Pugh. Please take a look."Now that the project has just started, any issue identified must be rectified immediately. If not, the loss will be even bigger."Wilson noticed Robin was back to her usual self. He said immediately, "Sure, I'll check that and give further instructions to the rest. "However, I might need you to explain things personally to Mr. Weiss." After hearing this, Robin pursed her lips and agreed. Wilson chatted a bit more wi
Tyler nodded and said in a low voice, "Then go. In case you quit Weiss Group, you can always come back to us."Robin understood what Tyler was implying.Tyler and Terence were close friends, so he must know about her relationship with Terence.If she were to quit Weiss Group, it would mean that Terence and her were over too.Lowering her head, Robin replied softly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Larson."Tyler gave her an indifferent glance and passed the file to her. "You should start packing," said Tyler calmly.Robin nodded and left Tyler's office. After Robin left the room, Tyler took out his phone and made a call to Terence.The call was picked up within seconds."Ms. Sage will be reporting for work at Weiss Group this afternoon."Terence could not help but smile when he heard the news, but he replied calmly, "Okay, I'll buy you a drink next time."Tyler rubbed his eyebrows and said, "No thanks."Just be nice to Ms. Sage. After all, she's been my right hand fo
Not only was Jean Tyler's wife, but she was also a fast learner. Robin had personally taught her how to handle all the problems at work.As secretaries, they had to keep in mind that their main role was to complement.They handled every little detail behind the scenes so that their boss could get into business smoothly.However, instead of supporting their boss, Rowena was too eager to take all the credit for herself.Even though Robin and Rowena were working with the CEO, that did not put them at the executive level.Yet, Rowena had obviously placed herself at that level.Rowena did not like what she heard. She gave Robin a sharp glare and kept quiet. As much as she hated to admit it, Robin had a point there.After all, this was Larson Group, and Jean was the wife of Larson Group's CEO.It would not be a surprise if Jean became the next chief secretary.However, Jean had memory problems, so she was not fit for the job. Perhaps Tyler might have second thoughts.When Row
Since Robin needed to report for work at Weiss Group that afternoon, she declined Jean's dinner invitation.She had no idea what kind of problems were waiting for her at Weiss Group, so the dinner would have to wait until she had settled down. After Jean saw Robin off, she headed to Tyler's office.Tyler was working on some documents at the moment. When Jean came into the office, he immediately put down the documents in his hands to look at her.Jean sat on his lap with a smile, and she whispered, "Now be honest with me, did the two of you plan this scheme together?" "What scheme?" asked Tyler puzzledly. Judging from his reaction, Jean was certain that he really had no idea what was going on.Tyler wrapped his arms tightly around Jean's waist and pinched it as he muttered, "You've put on some weight.""Thanks to you," said Jean with displeasure. He was the one who had been feeding her so much.He chuckled, and Jean patted his shoulder."We're talking about Ms. Sage now. No
When Robin arrived at Weiss Group, Terence was in a meeting in the conference room.She was guided by the staff to the reception hall of the CEO's office and asked to wait there.At the same time, Monica had returned as well. Upon seeing Robin in the reception hall, her expression changed subtly. Even so, she managed to compose herself and walked over to greet Robin."Good afternoon, Ms. Sage."Upon seeing Monica, Robin got up from her seat. With a calm smile on her face, she said in a low voice, "I'm here to start work."Hearing that, surprise flashed in Monica's eyes."Work?" she asked.Robin nodded slightly at that and offered no further explanation.Monica's expression changed slightly. Then, she asked, "Oh? What position have you applied for here, Ms. Sage?"She was quick to regain her composure.After all, she knew for certain that there was no way Terence was going to demote her from her position.Pursing her lips, Robin replied calmly, "It's entirely up to Mr. Weiss.
Even though Lukas was now back together with her, Jenny could clearly feel that their relationship could never return to the way it had been in the past. After spending some time with Lukas, Jenny felt that Lukas' heart no longer belonged to her.Once Conner and Robin were done packing up Alina's belongings at the hospital, they made their way to Robin's car. Robin drove them to her apartment. Upon seeing where they were heading, Conner said to Robin softly, "Roo, I won't be going back to your apartment."Upon hearing this, Robin looked confused. Before she could ask why, Conner added softly, "I want to return to Swiree."Robin was taken aback for a moment. Then, she replied, "Dad, you really don't need to rush back home."Conner had already sold the family business in Swiree when Alina was hospitalized in Henkel. As such, Robin had not expected to hear Conner tell her that he wanted to return to Swiree."Just stay here," Robin said.Upon hearing that, Conner sighed softly and
After Alina passed away, her body was taken to the funeral home the next morning.Alina had instructed Conner to keep her funeral simple after her death.After Alina was hospitalized, Conner showed her a grave site according to her wishes.A van from the funeral home came to the hospital the next morning to take Alina's body to the funeral home.Upon hearing the news, Jean and Tyler rushed to the hospital and accompanied Robin there.On the way to the funeral home, Tyler tried to call Terence. However, Terence did not answer.Tyler had to call Wilson to inform Terence of what had happened.Only a handful of relatives and friends attended the funeral to pay their respects to Alina.With Jean and Tyler's help, Alina's funeral wasn't much trouble to set up.Terence received the news of Alina's death in the afternoon. Only then did he rush to the funeral home.When Terence arrived, Alina's remains had already been cremated and placed in an urn.He walked over to Robin. When he s
Robin's call managed to go through, but no one answered her call even after a long while.Robin gradually tightened the grip she had on her phone. She tried to maintain her composure while holding the phone.After what seemed like ages, Terence finally answered her call."Roo, why are you still up?"Terence's gentle voice came through in the end. His tone was tinged with a hint of exhaustion.Upon hearing his voice, Robin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Terence had ended up answering her call, she supposed there weren't any problems to worry about."Yeah, I haven't gone to sleep yet. I'm still—"Robin was about to tell Terence that she was still at the hospital.However, Terence quickly interjected, "I'm still at the hospital now."Upon hearing Terence's words, Robin unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. Her heart quivered in fear for a moment.She suddenly felt insecure.Robin hummed in acknowledgment and asked, "Is Ms. Blake not doing well?"Robi
Robin's response was in no way problematic.From her response, it was clear how cautious and serious she was when dealing with matters of the heart.Brian sighed and looked at Robin deeply.However, Robin deliberately avoided Brian's gaze at this moment.She didn't want him to waste his time on her. Robin certainly didn't want Brian's friendship with Terence to be negatively affected because of her.Seeing that Robin was deliberately avoiding his gaze, Brian curled his lips into a small smile and said softly, "You don't need to be so wary of me. I'm not going to force you to help me."I'm glad to see that you're going steady with Terence. I'm looking forward to attending your guys' wedding."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips lightly. She let out a calm smile and replied, "Well, then you'll have to spend quite some time waiting."Brian turned to look at Robin. He had a tender expression on his face as he said, "Don't worry, I know Terence very well. I'm certain he'll marr
Robin couldn't help looking surprised upon seeing Brian dressed in formal attire. He looked somewhat weary."Mr. Collins," Robin greeted.Brian nodded slightly in response and walked over to her side.He whispered, "I heard that Aunt Alina isn't doing very well, so I came to check on you guys. Don't be too upset if you can help it."Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips. She replied in a soft voice, "I already expected this to happen, so I'm not too upset by it. I just feel a bit helpless at the moment."Although Robin had already anticipated this outcome, she couldn't change it.Robin sighed as a hint of grief filled her eyes.Brian walked over to sit beside her. His tone was gentle as he said, "Death is inevitable for everyone, after all. People either die from old age or sickness. Try to take it easy."Aunt Alina probably wouldn't want you to be so upset either."Robin nodded and turned her gaze toward Brian. When she noticed that was wearing a suit, she asked, "Where we
During her conversation with Alina, Robin had already tried her best to keep her emotions under control. She did not expect Alina to get so worked up.Robin simply didn't want Alina to use her past as an example to educate Robin.After all, everybody was living a different life.Robin would never settle for second best.Robin sat quietly as the doctor continued talking. But she didn't hear a word he said. Noticing Robin's low spirits, Conner said softly to her after the doctor left, "Roo, don't burden yourself with all this. This day was bound to come sooner or later."Although Conner was trying to comfort Robin, his voice was hoarse and contained a hint of melancholy that he failed to conceal.Robin took a deep breath. With her reddened, teary eyes, she told Conner, "I shouldn't have argued with her knowing she was sick. With her current state, it's my fault that I insisted on my point."Conner sighed with a hint of helplessness in his expression. He avoided Robin's eyes and
Robin took a deep breath and said softly, "Don't worry about Chandler. Terence will handle it."After all, Chandler raised Terence like a son despite not being blood-related. The bond between them was too strong for Terence to ignore."Just focus on getting better."Alina went silent for a while. Robin chose not to say anything further either.She wanted to end the discussion in Alina's silence. But to her surprise, Alina uttered hesitantly after a long pause, "No, Terence will not care about Chandler."If Terence helps Chandler out, Weiss Group will face setbacks. Terence prioritizes his interests above all else. He won't care about Chandler. I…"Robin watched Alina getting worked up as she continued talking. Robin couldn't help but feel bad.However, she couldn't pinpoint her feelings. Did she feel bad because after all these years, Alina still cared about Chandler? Or was it because Conner's effort was being overlooked by Alina?Even though Chandler was her biological father
Conner had been working tirelessly to take care of the family. Even now that Alina fell ill, he cared for her selflessly."I should go back and check on your mom. If not, she'll wake up and find herself alone."Robin felt bad watching Conner's silhouette. She and Conner went back to the ward together. Sure enough, Alina was already awake.Robin sat on the couch and felt a mix of emotions as she watched Conner care for Alina devotedly.Alina had finished her medicine for the day, and Conner needed to get her the newly prescribed medicine from the pharmacy. So, Robin stayed back to keep Alina company.Robin kept her gaze fixed on Alina's weary face and asked softly, "Mom, do you want me to end up like you?"Alina paused for a moment after listening to Robin as a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes. Clearly, she did not understand the meaning of Robin's words.Robin took a deep breath to control her own emotions and continued softly, "I was referring to finding a man who takes
Terence was waiting at a traffic light, so his surroundings were noisy. As Robin's voice was very soft, Terence couldn't quite make out what she was saying. "I'm heading to the hospital to check on her now. How are things with your mom?" Terence repeated his question to Robin again. Robin went silent. She had already decided to be with Terence, and he had also publicly clarified that nothing was happening between him and Monica. So, it would be childish of her to ask the question again because he had already made things clear. Robin's lips were pressed together, and her expression had reverted back to normal. She said, "She's fine here. Don't worry about it." She then murmured softly under her breath, "I'll call you back later. Drive safely." As soon as she finished talking, she immediately ended the call. Terence didn't give it much thought after Robin ended the call. He turned the engine on and drove off to the hospital to visit Monica. Robin stood in the cor
