Semua Bab If I were Yours: Bab 1001 - Bab 1010

However, Terence managed to regain his composure within seconds.Looking solemnly at Robin, he said, "Robin, let's set aside our personal matters for now. If you resign from Weiss Group, you'll have to shoulder a hefty compensation. Are you sure you want to do it?"Robin frowned.　　Terence calmly continued, "You should've read the terms carefully when you signed the employment contract with me. If you refuse to return to the company, then I'll have to arrange for a discussion between you and the legal department."Robin kept silent, and Terence's gaze gradually softened.She bit her lip. She knew that if she ended up in a lawsuit with Weiss Group, her chances of winning would be slim.　　After all, she still had an ongoing project to manage, so she couldn't leave yet.Robin figured that if she left, she'd have to avoid working in the same industry for two years.　　Moreover, the amount she had to pay in compensation could pretty much wipe out her entire fortune.It was clear tha

Robin's tone was awkward. It sounded as if she didn't know how to chat with Terence.Terence sighed heavily. He felt sour thinking about how easily Robin had chatted with Russ about simple topics."Robin, don't you want to chat with me?" he asked.Upon hearing that, Robin's expression turned into a bewildered one. She did not quite understand what Terence meant.She wondered what else she could chat with Terence about.It was clear that Terence didn't seem willing to talk about her resignation either.Robin felt her head start to ache as all traces of sleepiness left her."Mr. Weiss, what do you want to talk to me about?" she asked.Hearing that, Terence immediately hung up with a solemn expression on his face.Robin was still holding the phone in her hand. She looked at it in disbelief and thought about how difficult it was to read men. They were so elusive.She honestly didn't know what else she could chat with Terence about.Things hadn't been very pleasant between them r

Robin couldn't stand seeing Alina in tears. She took a deep breath and clenched her fists."Mom, is there a connection between you and Mr. Weiss?" Robin asked.Her instincts were sharp from years of business experience. Alina held back her tears at the question. Confusion filled her eyes as she looked up at Robin.Robin sensed something was amiss as she looked at Alina's expression. An uneasy silence hung in the air. Even though Alina didn't say a word, Robin somehow knew the answer was a yes.Around noon, Alina went downstairs to help at the shop after preparing lunch for Robin. Meanwhile, Robin spent the week at home. She was burdened by a heavy heart.…On a Tuesday, Robin's nap was interrupted by the ringing doorbell. She answered the door, and there stood a delivery person."Hello, are you Robin Sage?" the delivery person asked.Robin nodded, and the delivery person handed her a package. When she peeked at it, her expression shifted. She had an inkling about what was in th

Robin picked up the cutlery and casually said, "We're just friends."She didn't want Alina to confuse her relationship with Russ.Alina sensed Robin wasn't thrilled about it and remarked, "Mrs. Larson introduced him to you, right? But honestly, I think you and Mr. Jenkins make a better pair."Conner chimed in, "Give Robin a break. She doesn't want to talk about it now."Alina decided to let the topic go. Following dinner, Conner headed to the kitchen to do the dishes.Meanwhile, Robin came out of her room while lugging her suitcase. Typically, Conner would bid her farewell at the doorway, but this time, he lingered in the kitchen for quite some time.Conner paused doing the dishes and silently nodded as Robin left. Alina tagged along with Robin to the car. Her heart was full of concern.Aline went back inside after Robin had driven away. She sighed when she spotted Conner gazing out the window. Robin's departure seemed to weigh a bit heavier on their hearts than usual.While cr

Robin had made up her mind, and that was her final plan. Russ didn't seem bothered by her words.He wore a smile as he questioned, "Ms. Sage, am I becoming a burden for you by hanging around?"Robin pursed her lips and stayed silent."Honestly, I'm not rushing into marriage. It's just that I haven't found someone interesting in all these years, and that's why I naturally became drawn to you."I'm sorry if I've been too straightforward and it's making you uneasy," Russ added.Robin was surprised. "Mr. Cobbett, that's not what I meant..."All she was worried about was Russ putting too much into their relationship when she was unable to give back. She didn't want him to spend his time on her if it was going to be a waste.Russ glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late. Since you have to be back at the office tomorrow, you should get some early rest. I'll make sure you safely reach the parking lot."Robin nodded, signifying the end of their conversation. Russ watched as Robi
