Sophia just returned to the company and saw this scene. She gestured to the receptionist but didn't stop Marilyn.

Sophia glanced at Marilyn who was angry and didn't say anything.

Marilyn strode to Robert's office. Just as she was about to open the door, a burst of sweet laughter came from inside.

"Haha! Robert. You don't have to take ZabelGroup seriously. It is no match for you at all."

Marilyn heard the laughter and pushed open the office door.

She saw Naomi leaning on the couch with her long legs exposed.

Naomi's cheek was flushing slightly. The room was permeated with the scent of alcohol.

Upon seeing them in the room, a strange emotion flashed into Marilyn's mind. It made her angry.

Robert, lounging on the chair, suddenly stood up when he saw Marilyn. He looked slightly panicked and asked, "Marilyn, why are you

here?"

When Robert saw Kendrick hit Marilyn, he felt extremely distressed.

He wanted to call Marilyn, but he didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, Marilyn appeared in front of him.

Robert suddenly had the urge to hold Marilyn in his arms.

"Robert!" Marilyn couldn't help but strode toRobert's desk and asked, "What on earth do you want? Are you getting too coc ky after just a few sips of wine?"

Robert halted in his tracks, appearing slightly taken aback."Marilyn, what's the matter? Take a seat and explain it calmly."

"What's the matter? How dare you ask me what'sthe matter with me? Why did you lock Kendrick up again? Zabel Group had already offered a great price. Why do you insist on sending Kendrick back in?" Marilyn's face turned red as she shouted. "Just because you had a little wine, you've already lost your senses?"

Robert halted mid-step, retracting his raised foot. Marilyn's interrogations instantly shattered the affection in Robert's heart. Gazing at the

woman before him, Robert indifferently asked, "Is that why you came here?"

"Do you think it's just a trivial matter?" Marilynstared at Robert and said."Zabel Group is not as simple as you think. Who do you think you are to go against Zabel Group? Are you underestimating Zabel Group just because you won once? Robert, why are you playing the hero?"

"I wasn't trying to play the hero," Robertretorted, turned away, and took a seat."Marilyn, if you came here to discuss this matter, you can leave now. What I do with Zabel Group is my problem. What does it have to do with you?"

Marilyn turned her head and glanced at Naomi, who was still lying on the couch. Even as a woman, Marilyn couldn't help but sense the allure exuding from Naomi.

The scent of alcohol in the room heightened Marilyn's agitation. Marilyn warned Naomi, "Naomi, I don't know your intentions, butRobert lacks experience in business matters. However, you have a good understanding of them. If you genuinely care about him, don't cause him harm!"`

After saying that, Marilyn looked at Robert again and said,"Robert, I advise you to settle the

dispute with Zabel Group as soon as possible, Do you think you're a hero? I'm telling you now... Your behavior is so naive!"

"Haha!" Naomi chuckled. She stood up slowlyand stepped toward Robert gracefully, placing her hand on his shoulder and giving him a gentle massage while looking at Marilyn."Ms. Quesnell, please don't say that. Robert is the director of Zabinski Group. Who are you to dictate his actions? If you were still his girlfriend, perhaps your opinion would hold weight. But now, who are you? Fortunately, Robert is quite tolerant. If it were up to me, I would have someone escort you out. Can you believe that?"
