Chapter 446

Jackson instantly looked surprised as he said," Marilyn, he's the one from last night."

Marilyn also looked a little panicked when she saw Robert's sudden appearance. However, so much happened the night before that Marilyn was not anxious to explain anything to Robert at that moment. Instead, she merely looked at him with a stoic expression without a word.

Meanwhile, Yahaira watched with a gloating expression from a distance.

Right when Yahaira thought Robert was going to do something, he raised the bottle of mineral water and gulped it down.

Gulp After a few gulps down, Robert gave a satisfied look.

" Sweet!I was so thirsty. Thank you, bro." Robert smiled and patted Jackson on the shoulder. Then, he placed the remaining half a bottle of mineral water next to Marilyn and handed her a tissue." Here. Wipe your mouth. It's all over your face."

Jackson was flabbergasted by Robert's actions. Similarly, Yahaira, who was ready to watch a

show, also frowned.

Marilyn was a little confused, but she still took the tissue from Robert.

" From now on, we don't bother others when we' re out."

Robert then took out another tissue and wiped the corners of Marilyn's mouth.

Marilyn immediately realized that Robert had seen Jackson wipe her mouth earlier.

Robert smiled at Marilyn and said, " Eat slowly. I still have something else to do. I' ll need to go and check it out."

After saying that, Robert strode away before Marilyn could reply.

The total time from Robert's appearance to his departure did not exceed one minute.

However, it made Jackson feel particularly uncomfortable because that was not how he had imagined things would go. Robert's nonchalance made Jackson feel all he had done were in vain.

Although Marilyn didn't respond, she moved her seat further away from Jackson.

A trace of violence flashed in Jackson's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said with a smile," Marilyn, your boyfriend cares about you very much. It seems that he was not such a rude person as he had seemed last night."

Meanwhile, Yahaira secretly called Jackson a loser from a distance when she saw Robert leave after being there for less than one minute.

Robert walked quickly and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

In reality, Robert wanted to stay longer. After all, he was unhappy about leaving Marilyn alone with a person like Jackson.

However, thinking of how Marilyn was still angry at him for what happened last night, Robert couldn't help but feel embarrassed to stay.

" People would laugh if Marilyn got angry with me. Not to mention it would be giving that jerk an opportunity!" thought Robert.

Some things were meant to be dealt with with a light touch. After all, Marilyn was not a person without a sense of boundaries.

Robert walked to the side and continued with work. Then, he led his men back to the

company in a hurry after they got all the data on the measurements.

When Marilyn saw Robert leaving, her eyes showed a look of disappointment. Even if she didn't talk to Robert, Marilyn felt satisfied to be able to just see him. Thus, she felt an emptiness when she couldn't see him anymore.

At two o' clock in the afternoon, Robert returned to his company. As soon as he entered the office, he saw a beautiful figure with long hair, an enchanting figure, and long legs, as perfect as though they were drawn by a skillful artist, sitting on the couch.

It had been a few days since they had seen each other. Robert admitted that he was amazed by that woman.

" Ms. Ryder, what brought you here?" Robert said with a smile.

Listening to Robert's teasing, Sophia rolled her eyes and replied, " What? Turning your back on me so soon?"

" No way." Robert took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

Sophia also stood up from the couch and skillfully walked to the cabinet behind the desk.

Then, she took out the coffee beans and made a cup for Robert." Why didn't you hire an assistant?"

Robert smiled and shook his head without answering. According to the time, Carlos was about to return.

Sophia did not insist any further when Robert did not answer. After all, it was just a casual question.

"I came to you about something huge this time. Perennial Financial Group. Have you heard of it before?”
