2025-05-04 18:41:13The mayor was in turmoil, seeing Robin leave. After a long time, he finally saw Robin again and he couldn't let him go. He immediately shot a warning glance at old man Roy.
Roy got the memo and quickly he rushed out, going past Robin, “I will leave instead, Master Robin.” He bowed a bit before finding his way out of the building.
Robin stopped in his tracks, and the mayor rushed forward, bowing his head too.
“I apologize again, Mr. Davenson.” He said.
“Good. Don’t cross your boundaries next time.” Robin said before letting the mayor usher him into the office. They sat in the sitting area where the mayor immediately ordered refreshments, wanting to make Robin comfortable.
“So, what have you come here to do? It’s an honor to grace us with your presence...”
“Haha…” Robin laughed, amused. “You didn't even know I have been in your city for three years now, do you? I commend my conservation skills then.”
“Really?” the mayor was blown away. Once again, he had a new level of respect for Robin as it seemed he knew the city much more than the mayor himself.
The mayor realized he let three years go by without meeting Robin. Only if he had put more effort into finding Robin for old man Roy but then he knew that if Robin didn't want to be seen, he wouldn't.
On the other hand, Robin’s phone rang out and in two rings, he connected the call.
“Speak!” He ordered.
“The contract with Kia Fashion, should I cancel it? The signing event is tonight and we have until evening to cancel the contract.” Robin’s assistant on the other end of the phone explained.
Faced with that question, Robin thought back to the three years he helped build Kia’s fashion company. A company like Julls would never collaborate with such a small company and he made it happen because he owned Julls, a multi-enterprise company, famed under the shadow of the most powerful family.
The family that helped him on his feet when he was left dead by his real family.
Now, he had the life and death of Kia fashion in his hands, but he wasn't going to wield his power carelessly.
“Give it to her.” He spoke into the phone and soon, the call ended. In his mind, that was the last thing he would ever do for Carla Kia, he had paid her enough.
However, since the signing event would be held that night, he had to attend. For the first time in years, he would finally show his face before the public and look down at everyone.
“I need to prepare for an event tonight, mayor. Can you put things in place?” Robin asked.
“Yes, sure!” The mayor nodded and with a snap of his fingers, his subordinates were already on the move.
Robin had to ride in the most luxurious car ever and he had to wear the best elegant clothes. No matter what, the mayor wanted to deliver his best.
Three hours later…
It was night time and Robin had several assistants sent by the mayor to help him. He was lodged in the penthouse suite of the biggest hotel in the city and everything he needed was ready.
He stood in the middle of the room as the female assistants squealed in delight.
“He is so handsome…” They whispered and some were even daring enough to touch him, on his arm and even his waist.
He was dressed in a dark blue suit with a waistcoat that showed off the shape of his chiseled upper body and then a white shirt that balanced his look.
The watch he had on was worth $21,000 and all the females there were vying for his attention. If he had still been married to Carla, he would have sent them all out.
Now, he saw the beauty in welcoming compliments from everyone and not being conservative.
“Let’s go, Mr. Davenson.” The mayor said, alongside a male driver assigned to him for the night. As they led him out he was greeted with a white Cadillac Escalade.
Robin was impressed so far with the hospitality the mayor showed and so he turned to the mayor.
“You have done well.” He commended.
Immediately, a smile bloomed on the mayor’s face as if his life-long will had been fulfilled.
“Don’t worry, I will put in a good word for you before the board. I have seen your good works in this city.” Robin promised, and before the mayor could say anything else, he got into the waiting car.
The mayor stood there, feeling like he had met his god. Robin was his god and he was going to devote his life to him.
“Quick! Let’s follow him!” He ordered his subordinates and the mayor’s convoy followed Robin, straight to the event.

It Was Him
As Robin stepped out of the hotel, Mason was already waiting for him and he was ushered into the car. “I found Carla’s location. She has been cooped up at her office since the early hours of today. She left her mansion, unusually early and I think that is suspicious.” Mason explained. “Did you trace Cora’s whereabouts from the mansion?” Robin asked seriously. “Yes. But it seems Cora just vanished into thin air. The CCTV cameras in the estate that night were all down. It seemed like a pre-planned attack. But it’s so high level.” Just like he had thought, Carla couldn't implement such a kidnapping on this scale. But then, he didn't want to leave a stone unturned. He had to really confirm if she wasn't involved. They proceeded to leave, however, the minute he settled, his phone rang. It was Chairman Black. As soon as the call connected, the old man spoke up hurriedly, “It's almost time for the meeting, aren't you coming?” Robin flipped his wrist to check his time and indeed, it w
Redirection
“What?” Jane gasped, and she took a double-take at Robin’s back. She mirrored it with the disgust she felt from earlier and was finally making sense of the whole thing. But she didn't want to accept it! Would Robin be the boss of the Sky International Hotel? No way! He wasn't even part of the board. “Are you out of your mind, Ethan? What are you saying?” She yelled at her son but he was being held back again by the security. On the other hand, Diego couldn't take the ruckus and turmoil anymore. He rushed to the window and immediately caught Robin’s shoulder to make him face them.He forcefully pulled Robin, however, he didn't even move an inch. Robin had caught Diego’s hand, locked in with a tight grip.“You…” Diego gasped, as he finally saw Robin’s side profile. He tried to take his hand off his shoulder as if he was being burned but Robin’s grip was too strong. “Surprised to see me, Diego?” His sinister voice flowed through and for a moment, Diego shook in his pants. He had neve
Seducing Her Stepson
“Will you be needing anything at all?” Thorn asked, running around to cater to Robin. He couldn't afford to mess up again. Also, he knew the board meeting would be held in the designated building, later that day and he wondered why Robin had arrived so early. “Nothing. Thank you.” Robin smiled, calmly, enough to ease Thorn’s stress. In that moment, Thorn let out a deep breath of relief and wiped the imaginary sweat from his forehead. Thankfully, Robin was a calm and respectful man. Right now, Robin stood before the large windows in a dimly lit lounge that had a beautiful view of the hotel gardens and recreation centers scattered around the premises. He silently commended how the board members had grown the hotel into the massive force it was now. However, he needed to beat this. His assigned project must blow them off their feet. As he admired the work of art before him, the door was pushed open and two security officers stepped in while escorting Jane and Diego into the lounge.

“What do you mean he has to access the elevator? Are you trying to buy time until you can escape, huh?” the manager snarled angrily, while clicking his tongue in disdain. He hated scammers the most. He had gotten to, this position just by the way he fished out bad people. His works spoke for him and he was promoted. His direct boss trusted him with issues like this. “I am not trying to buy time. I didn't do anything wrong after all.” Robin shrugged. “All I want is for him to access the elevator and prove to us he is supposed to be here.”Ethan pursed his lips, realizing it wasn't a big deal. He had accessed the elevator that morning and he could do it again. However, the manager wasn't in tune with it at all, “You have no right to order a guest here–”“Don’t worry, I will do it.” Ethan stepped forward. “This is just to prove that this man here is a scammer. He has no right to be here and should be thrown out.”“I am a good person and I cannot stand for the wrong thing.” He puffed u

“Bah!” The staff member slammed his hands on his thighs, as if he were expecting Ethan to say that. “I knew it! Men like him who are not in tune with reality think they can pass off as rich!”“I guess he has seen just how much wealth can give and he wants to taste it.” Ethan joined in, however, his eyes flickered to Robin scornfully. He tilted his head to the side, silently anticipating what Robin was going to do next. “What would you like us to do to him? I will immediately inform the hotel’s manager.” The staff chimed in, waiting on Ethan’s order like he was god. All the while, Robin stood back, silently staring at Ethan and the staff as they discussed his appropriate punishment. The other staff members had dispersed to get the hotel manager. But Robin had no such patience to wait around. “What if I can access this elevator?” He asked. “No, you can’t!” The staff barked. “You measly cleaner, still trying to act like you are some big shot? Are you out of your mind?”“I bet you ca
A Cleaner In Eastbourne
Robin stared at the TV screen for long minutes, deeply regretting he had let her go last night. He was sure she had gone to Carla’s mansion after she stepped out of the Sky International Hotel. “Can you confirm her whereabouts? Use every single resource you can get! Find her!” He shot up to his feet and his swivel chair skidded backward. “Where are you going?” Mason asked hurriedly. “I need to confirm if the Davenson family has her myself.” He said seriously. From the reports he got from Mason that morning, Diego and Jane had not left the hotel since the event ended last night. They were probably too scared to go back to Eastbourne, after all, the news of their destruction which would be starting soon would be waiting for them. “I don’t think that is a wise decision.” Mason opposed. “The Davensons are in a bad place right and I don't think they would want to do something like this.”“But we never can tell.” Robin sneered and he took his suit jacket to put on. “Those people could
