Vera scrambled into the car, afraid that Robin would drive off without her.
"Ugh, seriously? My shoe heel broke, and you can't even help out a bit?"
Robin shot a glance at her bare foot, raising an eyebrow "Why are you still wearing the other shoe?"
"Uh!" Vera frozen for a mont and looked down at her feet.
This guy doesn't care that I've been walking barefoot in this cold. Instead of showing so concern, he points out sothing so trivialt That the heck!
Doesn't my beauty even slightly attract you?
"Ah!" Realizing this, Vera suddenly shouted.
She was nearly losing it and flung off her other shoe in frustration.
Robin shrugged. "You sure have a temper."
With a stomp on the gas, he sped toward Ridge Road's Four Seas Entertainnt World.
Vera exhaled sharply, comforting herself that getting upset with this kind of guy only hurt herself.
"Hey, there's an Oasis Plaza across from the Four Seas Entertainnt World."
Robin glanced over at Vera. "What are you getting at?"
She pointed at her shoe. "I an, I can't show up at Knox's place wearing your man shoes, right?
"By the ti we arrive, it'll probably be close to lunchti.
"We should buy a pair of shoes first before heading to the Davidsons's Entertainnt World. Robin nodded. "Sounds good. I'm not keen on dragging around a woman wearing slippers." Just then, his phone rang-it was Shirley,
"Robin, tomorrow morning, the Dunn Group is holding the on-site signing event for the Eastvale Ecological Project. You've got to be there."
I'm not getting involved with your Dunn Group business," Robin replied flatly.
Shirley continued, "We've established an Eastside Project Developnt Company, and I've announced you as the president

"But you have to do this, President."
"Why? Are you doing this to make look good? There's really no need!" Robin replied with a smile.
"It's not just for show, Robin. I really need your help for a while. Shirley's voice turned almost pleading.
"I'm under so much pressure right now. After my father got sick, I took over the Dunn Group, and it's been chaotic.
"My grandfather is aging, and his health is deteriorating. Many people are watching us closely.
"I need you to help out for a bit.
"Recently, the Hamiltons have been making moves that are basically aid at us.
"By publicly sabotaging Liam's contract, you've kicked off a direct conflict between the Hamiltons and the Dunns
"You can't just stir up trouble and then run away."
Robin hesitated, "Well... alright. But I'm not going to sit around in an office every day, and I won't deal with boring business stuff.
Shirley chuckled quietly. "Don't worry, you'll have plenty of freedom. You'll just need to show your face at so necessary occasions-like tomorrow's board eting; just be there for a bit." Robin pondered montarily before agreeing, "Fine, since it's that simple, I'll be there on ti.
"Wait, don't hang up yet. I have one more thing." Shirley said, taking a deep breath.
"Are you free tonight? Co over for dinner. My grandfather wants to invite you over." Robin almost said no.
But realizing that Drake likely invited him for Timothy's health issues, he replied, "Okay, but I might be a little late.
Shirley sounded genuinely happy on the other end, her voice brightening. "Great! I'll be waiting for you tonight." Listening to her sweet voice, Robin felt his grip on the steering wheel tremble slightly.
Wow, this woman has such a lovely voice!
Am I really trembling?
Looks like won can really affect my composure!
"Wow!" Vera observed the entire phone call, astonished
"Ms. Dunn actually invited you to be the president of the Dunn Group's Eastvale Developnt Group!

Hey, Robin, what are you thinking? The Four Seas Entertainnt World is ahead, and there's ans underground parking lot diagonally across Vera reminded him
At that mont, Robin received a ssage from the Dark Web Intelligence Center
"Tracker, the assassin of the Rivers family from Sakurania, Gage Harlan and Weston Slare, disciples of the Northern Star Sword School"
"They've been monitored by the Draconia security departnt upon entry
Assassin from the Rivers family!
Looks like these two are here because of the Soul-Eating Charm on Daphne
After parking in the garage, Vera, still in her slippers, followed Robin into the won's shoe section on the
first floor of Oasis Plaza.
Robin was Jost in thought about the two assassins from the Rivers family when Alice approached him, blocking his path.
"Robin, are you for real? You're like a shadow, always showing up wherever I am.
"Back at the Miller Group building, I clearly told you we're not on the sa level anymore. Our engagent is off, we're going our separate ways"
Robin looked at Alice and Zachary, shook his head, and chuckled lightly, too lazy to engage with them further. He simply tried to walk past.
Vera rushed to explain, "Alice, you're overthinking this. Robin is just here to buy shoes with . What a coincidence."
"Vera, don't make excuses for him. There are plenty of places to buy shoes; why co to Oasis Plaza?" Alice scoffed.
"You know we're eting Mr. Hamilton at the Mugshot Café in the Oasis Plaza, right? You followed us on purpose, didn't you? Hat
"I absolutely detest n who cling on like this!"
"Oh, co on! He's really not here to chase after you," Vera shook her head in frustration.
Alice looked infuriated, taking two steps forward to block Robin again.
She pointed at him in front of a crowd of onlookers and declared, "Robin, I would never be interested in loser like you! Please stop bothering from now on, okay?" Robin gazed at Alice's overly annoyed expression as if his re presence was a disgrace to hee
"Crazy!"
her.
Not wanting to waste breath on this foolish woman, Robin tried to sidestep her, but Alice blocked his path.
"Robin, let remind you again-a man should know his place!"
"Get lost!" Robin shoved past Alice. "You're really quite sick!"
"Miss, don't be upset! I've got you covered, let's go have so fun!" A group of four or five burly n closed in around Alice, pulling her along.
Alice was montarily stunned, shouting. "Mr. Gill! Vera!"
Vera quickly nudged Zachary, "You have to stop them!
Zachary was also dumbfounded.
He knew these guys were from the Abyssal Dominion, Shawn Cooper's crew!
He still hadn't paid off the debt he owed them.
"Vera, they... they're the Devil's people!" Zachary said in a panic.
"Well, we still have to stop them!" Vera dragged Zachary and rushed in front of them. "You guys stop! Let her go!"
"Damn! We're having a lucky day today, haha! Co on, let's take this lady along too!" One of the guys with yellow hair was Brody Steele. He leered at Vera, an indecent grin spreading across his face.
