Chapter 73: Chapter 73 – Considering a lifestyle change
Robin was smart enough to deduce from Matilda’s coded words that Sabrina was indeed pregnant as he suspected and his heart ward.
For the man he was and dealing with a lot of shrewd people, it was easy for him to get answers even from facial expressions.
Sabrina could hide hers very well but not Matilda. She seed afraid of Robin, for which reason he could see through her like a glass.
"If you are Sabrina’s friend, then how co I never saw you during our three years of marriage?" He asked. Matilda felt that if she indeed proved that she was Sabrina’s best friend, then Robin would agree to protect Sabrina.
"After getting married to you, Sabrina locked everyone out." When Matilda saw that his interest in the subject matter peaked, she paused and clarified, "Just so you know, I’m not your fan. I hate the fact that you can’t keep to one woman," she said coldly and Robin smiled bitterly.
He could feel that she was speaking on behalf of Sabrina, exposing the pain her best friend was going through.
"And yet you ask for my help. Why can’t you do the protection then, best friend?" Robin mocked sarcastically, Matilda bit her lips to suppress her irritation.
Since she needed his help, she was at his rcy and revealed truthfully,
"I have a bad reputation so until my na is cleared, I can’t show my face in public."
"But you are showing
your face," Robin observed and replied. It seed to him that his ex-wife has an interesting best friend.
Matilda felt helpless, feeling that Robin was not taking her seriously. She explained frustratedly,
"This is a disguised look. I don’t have blonde hair and this is a wig. My face is also covered with heavy make-up."
Robin frowned upon realizing where the problem lay.
"So how do I find you?" He asked seriously, getting back to his business mood.
"Even if you try, you won’t. Martin and Devin rescued
from my father’s house but are yet to clear my na. Please protect Sabrina from Mara, that is all I ask. I know that you have the resources," she said and rose to her feet.
Hearing that she was relying on Devin to clear her na was fine but Martin? That did not sit well with Robin. Martin already had Devin’s support so to win over Sabrina’s best friend as well would not be good so he asked,
"You could at least give
your full na."
"Matilda Saint."
Matilda was already at the door when Robin frowned upon recollecting the na and revealed,
"Oh, you were arrested for drugs before."
Matilda turned around and looked him in the eyes before she smiled bitterly and revealed,
"I knew nothing about it but I know that you won’t believe . Look, I have to go before Devin finds out that I left his penthouse."
She turned to the door again but Robin stopped her before she could open it. At least he knew where she lived for now but that did not guarantee that he could get information from her any ti he wanted it.
"How can I see you again? I want to talk more about Sabrina."
Matilda turned around and shook her head,
"I don’t know, I can’t tell."
Robin smiled because he was excited at the information he got earlier and thought to ask her directly,
"Tell
one thing, is Sabrina pregnant?"
"You didn’t hear it from ," Matilda pressed her lips together, about to hasten out to avoid more questions when he asked again,
"Wait, is the child she’s carrying mine?"
"I can’t betray my best friend. Goodbye Mr. Jewel, and please don’t forget your promise," Matilda said and run out of the office.
"Wait, I didn’t promise anything!" Robin yelled but she was already gone.
Matilda’s presence made him happy. Now he confird for a fact that Sabrina was pregnant for him. Robin could not believe that wanting one child, he had two now. Quickly, he dialed Daniel’s number.
"Dan, I need you to do sothing right now. A lady just walked out of my office. Red dress with blonde hair. It’s not her real identity but I still want you to wipe every evidence of her being here," Robin said hastily over the phone.
He was surprised when Daniel began to get sarcastic with him.
"Another whore?"
"She’s not a whore. She’s Sabrina’s best friend," Robin quickly defended, not hiding his excitent.
"You are fucking your ex-wife’s best friend too?"
Daniel was shocked at the end of the line and asked but Robin was getting upset that he was not doing as told.
The more ti he wasted, the greatest risk of Matilda being caught leaving the penthouse and he did not want that.
She ca to him for help and he would do just that. Robin was happy that Devin did not believe her concerning Mara, for which reason he had the opportunity to hear this wonderful news.
"Shut up and start working Dan," Robin scread impatiently on the phone.
"I already am," Daniel retorted. He was at the office and got to business while he kept taunting Robin alongside.
"Hack into Devin’s caras in his house and wipe any traces of her going in and out of the house," Robin instructed again whiles waiting on the phone for Daniel to give him a tiline.
After two minutes, he was amazed by Daniel’s response,
"Done."
"That was fast," Robin said with a smile, grateful for Daniel’s speed.
"Have you forgotten that Devin is already on our track list?" Daniel asked, revealing the reason why he could get it done so quickly.
"Good. Now I need detailed information on Matilda Saint," Robin put in his final request.
"Your new girlfriend?" Daniel taunted him again; Robin shook his head.
Recalling the pain he saw in Matilda’s eyes which he equated to how Sabrina was feeling, he considered staying away from his whores for now.
