Chapter 117

The moment Sophia linked her arm with Robert's, she realized that he had a somewhat slender figure. She couldn't help but mutter in her heart,"Shouldn't the lives of rich second-generation individuals be luxurious and extravagant?"

Robert was unaware of what Sophia was thinking. He strode into the hotel and directly asked the waiter for a private room.

Robert had already been informed by Aaron about the private room where Kendrick and his companions were seated.

As Robert passed by the private room where Kendrick and others were seated, he suddenly reached out and held Sophia's soft and tender hand.

Robert's sudden action caught Sophia off guard, and she let out a surprised cry.

The expression on Robert's face instantly turned mischievous as he gave Sophia a playful push toward the door of the private room, causing the door to open as Sophia bumped into it.

Seated in the private room were Kendrick and the others.

Robert paid no heed to the people inside the private room as he pressed himself against Sophia, pinning her against the door in an ambiguous posture. His eyes roamed over her captivating bust, and he extended his left hand to gently lift her chin, speaking teasingly,"Be good. Once we finish this meal, go and rest. Your monthly salary will increase to 4,500 dollars starting tomorrow. That's a salary you wouldn't have dared to dream of, right?"

Sophia didn't even notice who was inside the private room, and Robert's sudden action caused her complexion to pale. Her delicate hand pushed against his chest in panic as she spoke anxiously. "Mr. Zabinski, it's not…what you think. I beg you..."

Robert's eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly became infuriated. He yelled,"What do you mean? Do you think I, the heir of the Zabinski family, am not good enough for you?"

Inside the private room, Matthew watched the scene unfold and suddenly burst into laughter. "Ha! Mr. Zabinski, you really have a good tastefor entertainment huh? Frolicking with your female employee like this."

Robert was startled by Matthew's voice. He quickly turned around, a trace of panic appearing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed

it. He looked at Thomas and the others sitting with Kendrick and immediately pointed at them, questioning, "Thomas! How did you end up with Kendrick? Don't you know that Zabinski Group and Zabel Group have a grudge against each other? And you guys! You have business dealings with Zabinski Group, so how come you're sitting here eating with the guy from Zabel Group?"

The panic in Robert's eyes disappeared quickly, but it was still caught by seasoned schemers like Thomas and his other companions.

Thomas sneered,"Hehe... Mr. Zabinski, isn't it? It seems like we're meeting for the first time. I'm wondering... Why would I need you to oversee who I dine with?"

Robert's behavior only earned disdain from Thomas.

To him, Robert was nothing but a brainless scion-a clownish buffoon.

The bosses present at the scene looked at each other and shared smiles.

They all thought that Zabinski Group's wealth and power were at risk of collapsing with someone like Robert at the helm—not to mention the formidable enemy they still had in

the form of Zabel Group.

Robert's gaze swept over the table, and a proposal on medical services caught his attention.

Kendrick noticed that and quickly retrieved the proposal.

Robert laughed loudly, "Ha! It's too late, Kendrick;I already saw it. You want to get into the medical field, huh? Fine. Just wait. I'll crush you!"

After finishing his words, Robert grabbed Sophia's arm and walked toward the exit of the private room, impatiently reprimanding, "Let's go. Behave tonight, and there will be good days ahead for you!"
