Robert frowned slightly.

"Then, Mr. Zabinski,I'll leave you to your work," Gilbert said afterobserving Robert's expression.

Robert put away his phone and waved his hand casually."It's nothing. Say, Gilbert, it's already noon, so let's have lunch together. Please."

In the lobby of the Grand Triumphant Hotel, Marilyn checked the time. It was already half past one in the afternoon, and it had been an hour since she sent the text message to Robert.

Anxiety crept up on Marilyn's face. She paced back and forth in the lobby, unable to calm herself down.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Marilyn's eyes wandered restlessly around the hall, eagerly searching for the figure she was anticipating.

Marilyn didn't know where to find Robert. So, this was the only place that she could go to.

"Gilbert,I'll be counting on you all. I know that three months isindeed very tight. So, please pay extra attention to it."

A familiar voice sounded in the lobby. Marilyn's anxious face immediately lit up. Searching along the place where the voice came from, she saw Robert walking to the lobby with several middle-aged men.

"We'll be taking our leave, then, Mr. Zabinski." Gilbert waved hishand.

Two project leaders of the Zabinski Group followed and escorted him out.

As soon as Robert turned around, he saw an elegant figure standing in front of him.

The moment Robert laid his eyes on Marilyn, his face lit up with delight, but the expression faded as quickly as it appeared. He averted his eyes and walked pa st Marilyn without even looking at her.

"Robert,I want to talk to you."Marilyn quickly followed Robert.

"What do we have to talk about?"Robert accelerated hisfootsteps.

Marilyn quickened her pace to catch up with Robert. In an anxious tone, she said,"Robert,I know you hate me now. There are things that I don't know how to tell you, but please, can you not go against the Zabel Group?"

Robert stopped abruptly.

Marilyn almost stumbled and bumped into Robert.

Robert turned around to face Marilyn, his expression turning into a smirk."You mean I should give up the shares of Yrinas to Kendrick, your fiancé?"

When Marilyn heard Robert mentioning the word fiancé, Marilyn felt a tightness in her chest.

She forced herself to remain calm."Robert, the reason I came here today was not to argue with you. I just wanted to say that you can't beat Kendrick and the Zabel Group!"

At twelve o'clock noon today, Marilyn received a call from her

father, Spencer.

Spencer told Marilyn clearly over the phone,"Don't tell me you're together with Robert!How could a brat like him go up against the Zabel Group? Let me make it clear to you. Zabinski Group is finished!It's just a matter of time before it crumbles. Don't get yourself into trouble, or else I won't be able to answer the Zabel Group. Our family and the Zabel Group are tied together now. We'll either rise or fall together."

Marilyn contacted Robert as soon as she received the call from her father.

She dreaded the thought of seeing Robert going up against Kendrick. Marilyn was well aware of Zabel Group's strength. It was not something that the Zabinski Group could fight against.

If the fight continued, the Zabinski Group would only be crushed.

"Marilyn!"Robert's voice boomed through the lobby. He hadconsumed a considerable amount of wine this afternoon, and the alcohol was starting to kick in."It's not for you to decide whether I can fight against Kendrick or not!This is just the beginning! But you're right,I'm no match for you!"

Robert's roar caught the attention of the crowd.

Robert looked at the delicate woman in front of him and couldn't help but laugh at himself,"You don't have to act as if you care about me. It'll only make me think that if you showed up here suddenly, Kendrick will appear immediately. You two will hold hands, and Kendrick would point at my nose and laugh, saying, 'Look at the poor Robert. Did he believe your words again?'"

Listening to Robert's rants, Marilyn couldn't stop her tears from streaming down.

She never intended to hurt Robert, but she didn't know how to explain herself that day.

She said she liked him, but she couldn't be with him.

It was funny enough to think about it.

"Marilyn, you're just despicable!" Robert strode away.
