“Relax…” He whispered as he held her leg gently. Even though she tried to pull away from him, he never let go. To Robin, this was the moment he had to take care of her. A way to pay her back for caring for him years ago. On the other hand, Cora was embarrassed, a deep redness appeared on her cheeks and neck and she felt her heart shake a bit. She didn't know if she was really embarrassed or was touched by his gentlemanly gesture. “You shouldn’t really be doing this.” She whispered. “What if someone sees us?”“Uhmm, Mason…” Robin called out, contrary to her expectations. Her head snapped to look at Mason who she never knew had been inside all along. “Get the first aid kit. Let’s stop her bleeding first.” He ordered. Now, Cora was even more embarrassed, she tried to hide her face as Mason brought the box. She expected Robin to hand over the job to his assistant but he took the kit himself and started to clean her wound. “Ohh…” Cora winced in pain, her eyes closing slightly. However

Immediately, Cora grabbed the phone, staring at the pictures with wide eyes. There were ones where Robin caught her from falling on the sidewalk and even ones where he carried her to his car because of her injured toe.All in all, they looked like a couple in love, with the man doting on his woman. “Carla, I promise you. This isn't what you think.” Cora said shakily. She hoped her friend wouldn't think she had something personal to do with Robin. But Madam Kia didn't buy that. “What do you mean it isn’t what she thinks?” She barked at Cora. “You went after your friend’s ex-husband. You took her contract and now you don't want to let go.”“That’s not true!” Cora gasped. She then quickly turned back to Carla, “Believe me, please. I injured my toe…see…” She stretched her leg up. “Robin insisted on helping me and nothing else. I don't know how these pictures came about too…” She cried, desperately hoping for her friend’s trust. On the other hand, Carla still had a devastated expressi

Two days later…“Boss, I have bad and good news.” Mason walked into Robin’s high-end office with a stiff gaze. He had realized just how much Cora meant to his boss but he didn't know how to break the news to him. “The bad news first.” Robin dropped the pen in his hands that signed away the fate of most companies in Westbourne city and beyond. “Cora has gone back to her family in Eastbourne. Her marriage to Ethan is currently being planned.” Mason said, with a cautious gaze. Robin took a deep breath, knowing Cora did that to get rid of him. How far was she willing to go? Or how far was Carla going to keep pushing her? “The good news?” Robin raised his brow in question even though he was unsettled by the bad news, he wasn't going to dwell on negative things too much. He would only find a way around it. “Cora’s company representatives are currently on a flight to meet you. They are deeply apologetic about her actions and pledge to call her to order. Should we go on with the meeting—

One more day had passed and Robin now stood before a large mirror, putting the last finishing touches on his clothes. He looked polished, clad in a dark brown suit and black leather shoes. His bedroom screamed silent luxury and opulence. He had since moved into the most luxurious residential area in Westbourne, surrounded by top officials.Tonight, they were going to decide the fate of Chairman Wells as well as Brother West, the mayor, and the attendants who were in cahoots. Chairman Wells had unexpectedly been silent as opposed to how everyone thought he would move around the board members looking for favors and mercy. The board was determined to throw him out and Robin was standing on that. Robin was ushered to his Maybach, his car for the night and he was driven straight to the Sky International Hotel where the board meeting was going to be held. As they all filed in, Robin sat right beside Chairman Black, with every other board member sitting at the table, all tense. Only Robi

Robin froze, he wasn't expecting to see them all in this setting. He had just broken down about his family last night and here they were, walking in with smiles. He struggled to contain himself and not punch their faces. All that attention that was supposed to be on him was now on them. They just had to come in and squash his shine at the appropriate time. Typical of those who wouldn't want him to succeed. However, he quickly suppressed his raging emotions as he recalled what old man Black had said to him. If he didn't learn to control his pain, he might fall off the cliff. Across the room, he stared at old man Black with a meaningful expression before walking to meet him. “Did you know they were coming?” Robin asked seriously as he stood beside the old man. They both had their champagne glass in hand as they stared at the entrance where the Davenson family was being crowded around. However, his eyes were now solely on Cora. “No, I didn't.” Blackman shook his head. “I will find
