Upon hearing that, Robin was momentarily taken aback. However, she was quick to grasp the situation.It turned out that Rupert was Wilson's father, and Terence's most trusted aide was Wilson.As such, it meant that Wilson probably knew the true nature of Robin's relationship with Terence. In that case, it was only natural to assume that Rupert knew as well.Robin's cheeks involuntarily turned red at the realization.Terence reached out to hug her waist and said in a gentle tone, "You can do anything you want here."His words left Robin in a momentary daze. After regaining her composure, she casually remarked, "Mr. Weiss, I don't plan to move here."Terence frowned at that.Robin pursed her lips and said, "Our relationship will end in a year's time. I'll have to move out at the end of it. Don't you think it's too much trouble?"Terence's face darkened at that. Then, he glared at Robin coldly and said in a serious tone, "Robin Sage, I didn't spend 30 million dollars on you to bec
Robin nodded earnestly upon hearing that. She looked a bit touched.Rupert then waved the packaged desserts in front of Robin again.She accepted the desserts from him with a faint smile. "Thank you," she said.Seeing how polite Robin was, Rupert said in a low tone, "Ms. Sage, Mr. Terence isn't very good at caring for others."Since his parents passed away, he has been groomed to be the heir of Weiss Group by Mr. Chandler."He might be a little ruthless at times, but Mr. Terence is actually a really good person."Hearing that, Robin nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Other than the fact that he's a little more arrogant than others, he doesn't seem to have any shortcomings. With all that he has achieved, it makes sense for him to act so arrogant, but I suppose he can't be faulted for that."Rupert chuckled and said, "That's right. He's almost a perfect man."While Robin and Rupert chatted, the driver parked the car in front of them.Rupert immediately stepped forward to op
Robin was exuding confidence. She did not show any signs of cowering even in the face of Kathy.Kathy swept her gaze over Robin with a hint of coldness in her eyes.Sylvia stood quietly beside Robin.With her around, Kathy was less likely to do anything too crazy.After all, Terence had sent Sylvia here to watch over Robin.If anything were to happen to Robin on her first day at work, Sylvia would have failed her duty.After giving Robin a cold glance, Kathy shifted her gaze toward Sylvia, who was standing beside Robin."I want to talk to Ms. Sage in private. Everyone else can leave," she said in a cold tone.Sylvia's expression shifted slightly upon hearing that. Just as she was about to refuse, Robin turned around to meet her gaze."Go let the rest of the staff in the conference room know that today's meeting will be pushed back. We'll have the meeting in the afternoon," she said softly.Sylvia was surprised by Robin's instructions. If Sylvia were to stay around even after
When Kathy noticed that Robin no longer seemed as articulate and mouthy as before, she smiled mockingly. "You mentioned that you weren't able to develop your career any further at Larson Group, right? That's because Mr. Larson is already married and has a kid."So you have no hope of marrying him to be part of a wealthy family. That's why you've shifted your focus to Terence instead."Mind you, Terence is one of the rare good ones in our circle. That's why you're keeping such a close eye on him. You want to fulfill your dream of marrying someone from a wealthy family."Robin found everything Kathy said very amusing. However, she did not reveal her thoughts and remained calm.She looked at Kathy and replied, "That's not the case here. Madam Blake, you may have misunderstood something."I actually get along very well with Mr. Larson's wife. We're practically friends. If she had any issues with me, she'd be straight with me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten the chance to work at Wei
Once Kathy heard Robin's words, her expression soured. She shot Robin a sharp gaze and stated sternly, "Just because Terence took a liking to you doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."Robin simply offered a faint smile. "If you put it that way, you're making it sound more serious than it actually is. I thought we were just having a casual conversation. My apologies if my comments have rubbed you the wrong way."Glancing at the clock, she added, "It's getting quite late, Madam Blake. I still have tasks to complete. While I may have landed this position through connections, I'll work hard to prove my worth. I won't let Mr. Weiss down, unlike those who attained their privileges but failed to achieve anything noteworthy."After hearing Robin's words, Kathy looked even more upset. Robin was clearly deriding Monica for not having achieved significant accomplishments despite her privileged position.Kathy shot a cold glare at Robin and said, "Very well. I'm eager to see what you can
Being accustomed to welcoming Robin back at headquarters, Sylvia dispensed with the formalities and spoke her mind directly."I personally requested a transfer to your department, Ms. Sage. I hope to glean from your experiences and eventually start my own business," Sylvia earnestly stated.Chuckling in response, Robin remarked, "Your skills speak volumes, Ms. Zen. I'm sure you can be an excellent leader without my guidance."At the same time, Robin pondered Sylvia's proposition. Sylvia had a valid point. There was limited growth for a secretary. It was clear they needed to explore alternative paths.Taking a deep breath, Robin felt a surge of enlightenment. If her relationship with Terence ended in a year, she could leverage her experiences at Weiss Group to launch her own venture.Despite being puzzled by Robin's sudden smile, Sylvia gently reminded her, "It's nearly lunchtime, Ms. Sage. Will you be dining in the office or heading to the cafeteria?"Upon hearing Sylvia's remind
Throughout her years working in Larson Group, Robin maintained a decent and professional rapport with Tyler. The clarity of their relationship was evident, and Terence was well aware of it.Despite Robin's explanation, Terence fixed her with a stern gaze.With a wry scoff, Robin let out a deep sigh and met his gaze with an icy stare. "I suppose Madam Blake's sudden taunts are fueled by our ambiguous relationship. Considering my recruitment was through connections, it's quite possible she sees my association with Mr. Larson as something scandalous."She set the files down on her desk without giving Terence a glance and continued, "Any other questions? If not, I'd like to focus on my tasks. Now that my reputation has taken a hit, I need to put in extra effort to secure my position."Truth be told, Robin wasn't particularly bothered by Kathy's confrontation since Kathy was unaware of the full story. Yet, Terence's blanket reproach left a lingering sting. It sapped Robin's courage to c
Monica's incompetence became apparent to the point where Terence had to reevaluate all projects under her supervision. This led Robin to deduce that he would seize the chance that presented itself to him.While she suspected Monica's involvement in the scheme, she doubted Monica would risk playing dirty tricks in Terence's presence.It became clear to Robin that Terence orchestrated the setup, likely because she had firmly asserted her refusal to join Weiss Group. Knowing she wouldn't decline his offer if a mistake in her work was found, he tricked her into joining his company. Rather than showing any sign of nervousness at her revelation, Terence maintained a calm demeanor. "Regardless, you brought this upon yourself. If you had identified the issue earlier, you wouldn't have had to come here."Robin took in a sharp breath and gazed at him with disbelief. She hadn't expected him to justify his deceptive tactics. Meeting his gaze with cold resolve, she admitted, "You're right. It'
