Chapter 445

Robert marched into the project office with great pomp and circumstance with his men.

The people from Zabinski Group immediately started measuring with their tools while Robert followed behind. There were many things that Robert didn't understand, but he was willing to learn, even if it was simple things like taking measurements.

When they arrived at the construction site, Robert saw Marilyn sitting at a table not far away with a lunchbox in her hand. She was talking and laughing with a man across her.

It was dark the night before, not to mention Robert had a little too much to drink. Thus, his head was not clear then.

However, Robert remembered the man named Jackson very well and recognized the man sitting across from Marilyn was the latter at one glance.

Marilyn had not noticed Robert's arrival, but Jackson turned around purposely, glanced at Robert, and cast a provocative look at the latter.

Then, Jackson picked up the tissue on the table

and handed it to Marilyn.

Marilyn thought Jackson was merely handing her a tissue. Thus, she reached out to take it without thinking much. However, Jackson went past her extended hand, brought the tissue to the corner of her mouth, and gently wiped it.

Jackson smiled softly and said gently, " Marilyn, slow down. Look at you. It's all over your mouth. People might think I bullied you if they saw you like this. Wouldn't the people from your company be coming after me if that's the case?"

Meanwhile, Marilyn was stunned by Jackson's sudden action.

Marilyn hurriedly backed eight inches away, grabbed the tissue from Jackson's hand, and warned, " Jackson, you have gone too far."

" Huh?" Jackson was stunned for a moment. Then, he showed a trace of disappointment as he said, " Sorry. I subconsciously forgot we' re not in the past anymore. Do you remember that time when we were studying together? It's happy just to think about that period."

At that moment, any lovesick teenage girl would be lost in Jackson's disappointed look coupled with his handsome face.

However, Marilyn was obviously not the kind of woman who gets carried away by one's looks. She merely calmed down after hearing Jackson mention the past and did not get angry about his previous behavior.

After all, Jackson helped Marilyn a lot when she was abroad back then.

Marilyn didn't notice that Robert saw the entire thing not far away.

Meanwhile, Yahaira was standing on the side. She couldn't hide the smile in her eyes when she saw Robert staring at Jackson and Marilyn the whole time.

Yahaira knew that the matter would not cause any substantial loss to Robert, but she just wanted to see him unhappy.

After all, how dare a Yrinas company challenge the authority of Zabel Group?

To think that a person whose family was unheard of for the past two generations dared to challenge Yahaira.

Yahaira thought, ' Who gave Robert the right?

It's wrong for a lowly man like him to even look directly at the nobles!'

Suddenly, Robert started walking slowly toward where Marilyn was sitting.

The amusement in Yahaira's eyes grew stronger as she murmured, " Robert, don't be a coward. Go and start a fight. It' ll be great if a fight is started. If that happens, I' ll bring you snacks at the detention center after the bidding ends tomorrow."

Meanwhile, Jackson also noticed that Robert was coming, and Jackson was prepared.

It turned out that Jackson had learned a few things about Robert the night before and thought of the latter as a me re reckless brute. Jackson also felt that the people around Robert were barbarians who were only good at using their fists to solve problems.

Taking him as a savage, Jackson didn't even see Robert as his opponent.

After all, Jackson felt that a mature woman would not have feelings for a barbarian.

" Marilyn, have some water." Jackson unscrewed the cap of a mineral water bottle and handed it to Marilyn.

However, the water had only gotten halfway when Robert suddenly grabbed it with one

hand.
