After hanging up the phone, Robert took a deep breath and walked towards the road.

It was already 9:30 p. m. The cool breeze blew on Robert's face, and the streets were filled with cars. In the dark night, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him.

The moment Robert saw this figure, he showed a surprised look on his face. Then he frowned tightly and strode past the figure without greeting her.

"Robert," Marilyn said.

She wore a beige windbreaker, and her delicate face didn't have any defects. Her slender legs couldn't be hidden even under the knee-high windbreaker. She had long hair, which became much messier when the wind blew.

Robert paused and looked at the woman beside him. He suddenly felt that something disappeared from Marilyn.

She lost her self-confidence.

Marilyn was a very excellent woman. When she was in school, all her grades were excellent, and Robert also heard from his classmates that Marilyn run a studio when she was in junior year. It was said that it went well all the time, but he never heard about it from Marilyn.

In the past, Marilyn was a very assertive and intelligent person.

Robert could see that Marilyn had a leader-like temperament, but it didn't look particularly strong due to her age.

But in less than three months since her graduation, Marilyn's confidence had completely disappeared. At this time, Marilyn looked obviously haggard.

Although Robert had told himself that there was no need to continue entangling with her, he still felt pain when he saw Marilyn like this.

Robert wanted to ask Marilyn a lot of questions. He was confused and concerned, but he opened his mouth and only said, "What's the matter?"

Robert's slight indifference made Marilyn shake slightly.

She forced a smile and took two steps forward. "Can't I talk to you for nothing?"

"You're about to get engaged. We should keep a certain distance." Robert stepped back at the same time.

Marilyn took a deep breath. In fact, she had already thought about it before coming here. She wouldn't say anything else except for that matter. Marilyn persuaded herself that this was the man who gave up on her at that dangerous moment.

But when she saw Robert, Marilyn didn't have any resentment towards him and was still persuading herself that everyone had the instinct to survive, so it was reasonable for Robert to give up on her at that time.

Marilyn took out a file bag from her handbag and handed it to Robert. "This is for you."

Robert didn't take it."What is this?"

"Your shares." Marilyn said, "Do you rememberthe 1,400 dollars I borrowed from you?"

Robert frowned. How could he forget it? It happened in his junior year.

At that time, Marilyn was already a famously beautiful girl in his school. There were many people pursuing her, including those scions.

Although Robert liked this beautiful woman with a hot figure and full of confidence, he never dared to pursue her or express himself.

He knew the gap between him and Marilyn.

She was like a fairy in heaven, but he was an ordinary person. So they were totally different people.

But one day, Marilyn ran to him and borrowed 1,400 dollars from him.

Robert was confused at that time. Obviously, Marilyn was very rich. Why did she suddenly come to borrow money from him?
