Chapter 158 Sapphire Café

It was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Daphne personally drove Robin back to the office.

Eric was waiting for them in the lobby.

He was astounded when he witnessed the respectful scene where Daphne stood before Robin, and it only solidified his determination to side with Robin. "Mr. Ramsey, you're finally here!" Eric hurriedly approached.

His body trembling with excitement as if he were reuniting with a long-lost relative, tears brimming in his

eyes.

"Have you been drinking heavily at lunch?" Robin scrutinized Eric, smirking, "Why are you so worked up? You're acting like you just saw your father."

Wiping away his tears, Eric exclaimed, "Mr. Ramsey, I'm willing to be your loyal dog forever!"

Robin raised an eyebrow, a playful smile creeping onto his face. "What's the matter? You have a moment of enlightenment?"

Following Robin into the lobby, Eric declared, "Mr. Ramsey, from now on, I will only take orders from you. Whatever you say goes!"

Robin halted, his expression turning serious. "And you're not afraid of Liam coming after you and tear you apart?

⚫ life With gritted teeth, Eric replied, "Mr. Ramsey, that b'stard is nothing but a beast! Since he returned, my at Universal Group has been a living hell! I've wanted nothing more than to distance myself from him! "Even his own father is so mad that he refuses to return to the company, Liam is a real freak!"

Robin shrugged, a detached smile playing on his lips. "Eric, you waited all afternoon just to tell me this?"

"Mr. Ramsey, this is just the beginning. Eric glanced around, then leaned in closer, speaking in a hushed tone, "I need to tell you something. Howard and Mitchell from the Dunn Group have sided with Liam today. They're conspiring to stab you in the back!" Robin nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, that's good news."

"Not good at all. Eric noticed Robin's indifference and grew anxious. He asked, "Mr. Ramsey, aren't you going to come up with something to deal with them?"

"Deal with them?" Robin chuckled coldly. "They're not even worth my time."

Eric stood frozen in the lobby for a moment, then caught up with Robin. "Mr. Ramsey, didn't you say you'd take me in as your dog?"

Robin was speechless. He rebuked, "Take you in? Why would I want a loser like you?"

Taken aback, Eric insisted, "Mr. Ramsey, I can do anything for you!"

Robin shook his head and said, "Well, if that's the case, then sure, you can be my dog."

Tears of gratitude filled Eric's eyes, and he said, "Thank you, Mr. Ramsey, for accepting me! But what about Liam and Howard? They are plotting some scheme to bring down the Dunn Group. Are you not going to do anything about them?" With a sneer, Robin replied, "If people like those two could easily outsmart Drake, the Dunns would have fallen apart long ago.

"That's enough. Let's not dwell on that. There's something else I need you to do."

Eric's heart raced with anticipation. He declared agitatedly, "Mr. Ramsey, whatever it is, just let me know, and I'll give it my all!"

"Are you familiar with the Silva Group?"

"Yes, yes. Eric nodded eagerly. "What about them, Mr. Ramsey?

Robin smacked Eric on the head lightly. "Put away those foolish ideas of yours! What I need you to do is gather information on several shareholders of the Silva Group. Within a week, I want Harvey, Quincy, and her relatives out of the Silvas!" Eric was momentarily stunned. "But, this is...

"Can't do it?" Robin's tone was flat. "Then forget it."

"No, no! Mr. Ramsey, gathering the information is something I can handle in a day," Eric rushed to assure him.

"But getting Harvey and his wife out of the Silva Group may take time."

Robin nodded and said, "Fine, just collect their information first. After that, I'll tell you what to do next."

"Yes, Mr. Ramsey! I'll get right on it!" With Robin's orders in hand, Eric eagerly left the building.

As Robin pressed the elevator button, a wave of pleasant scent enveloped him.

"Haha! What a coincidence, we meet again!"

Vera appeared before him like a mischievous spirit, her exquisite face glowing with a radiant smile.

Robin chuckled lightly and said, "It seems you're everywhere."

Vera linked her arm with his and stated, "You're always in my sight."

"Wow! We haven't seen each other for a while; you have changed your style and turned into a poet." Robin shook his head in amusement.

"Life isn't just about the daily grind and challenges we face; it's also about our dreams, aspirations, and the

beauty we can replace in the world," Vera replied carnestly

"If life lacks a bit of poetic chart, what's the point?"

"Alright then, indulge in your poetry." Robin removed Vera's hand. "I have to go up."

"Wait! I've been waiting for you all afternoon, and I haven't had lunch yet." Vera blocked his path.

"You're waiting for me? What for?" Robin frowned.

"To treat you to a meal! You've helped me so much; let me buy you lunch as a small favor." Vera smiled brightly, wrapping her arm around him again.

"A meal is all it takes to repay me?" Robin shot her a sidelong glance.

"What else can I do? That's all I can offer. Vera lowered her eyes, deep in thought.

Suddenly, her bright, innocent eyes looked lovingly at Robin. She proposed, "How about this? I'll repay you in a different way."

Seeing the mischievous glint in Vera's eyes sent a shiver down Robin's spine.

At that moment, she seemed less like a beautiful woman and more like a sly vixen.

"In what way?" he asked warily.

Vera tightened her grip on Robin's arm, standing on tiptoe to whisper sweetly in his ear, "I could be your girlfriend, just to make it a bit easier."

"Get lost!" Robin exhaled with a sense of relief as his heart began to race unexpectedly.

"Haha!" Vera laughed. "You actually got nervous! Haha!

Robin shook his head and urged, "Go away!"

"Look at how scared you are. Do you think I'd eat you alive?" Vera finally let her heels touch the ground and smiled. "Come on, let me take you to a lovely place for afternoon tea. "It's in the Eastvale Business District-a newly opened trendy restaurant.

"Though not the most upscale, it's Harmonfield's latest and most poetic spot.

Watching Vera's serious demeanor, Robin realized she genuinely loved the style of this restaurant.

As she spoke about it, her excitement grew.

"Despite everything else, I truly appreciate the atmosphere. This restaurant is located by Harmonfield Lake. Sitting by the window in the private room, you can take in all the scenery outside. "You can sip afternoon tea while admiring the spring day, ripples, gentle breezes, and the sunset reflecting on the lake. It's a truly poetic experience."

Robin shrugged and said, "You're not the promotional manager for this place, are you? You present it in such an alluring manner that I replace myself genuinely drawn to it."

Vera shot him an annoyed glance and asked, "What are you thinking: You minely label intelligence.

"I only heard about this restaurant when it opened through word of mouth. The scenery and wyle instantly captivated me when I went in to experience imyself.

"A cup of fine tea, the beautiful lake, the sunset, and a whisper of breeze-there's nothing to worry whene and no one to light with

"Entering the restaurant's private rooin felt like stepping into a peach garden, free from worldly ties and disturbances. When you push open the door, you step back into the bustling world outside. "Staying there, it feels wonderful to keep just the right distance from the chaos of the world!

"I love that feeling

Observing Vera lost in her thoughts about the restaurant, Robin burst out laughing. I haven't seen you in two days, and you've truly turned into a poet!

"Alright, based on your glowing review, I'll accompany you to this paradise"

"I promise you won't be disappointed!" Vera beamed as she linked her arm with Robin and headed outside.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the Sapphire Hotel by Harmonfield Lake

Even though it was only three in the afternoon, the hotel already had a plethora of luxurious cars parked in front of it.

The styles of these vehicles showed that most customers were young

These wealthy youngsters loved to indulge in a leisurely afternoon tea.

Vera led Robin to the reserved private room on the second floor.

This room was the finest in the entire café, spacious and offering a stunning view of Harmonfield Lake from the window.

The price was steep as well, costing 10,000 for an hour's use.

Vera had booked it for the whole day.

As they entered the room, the sound of soft piano music filled the air, mingling with the rich aroma of tea.

Sitting by the window, a gentle breeze blew in, awakening the lazy afternoon sunlight and rippling across the waters of the lake.

The sudden commotion startled a few ducks swimming on the surface, scattering them in all directions.

The scene indeed gave one a sense of escaping the mundane world.

Vera looked at Robin with excitement. She asked, "What do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Robin agreed. "It's not bad."

Vera smiled broadly and said. "If you stay here for an afternoon, you'll never want to leave this place."

Soon, the restaurant staff' brought out an array of pastries, most of which had a Brookhaven style.

Robin picked up a piece of cake and popped it into his mouth.

Instantly, the fragrant cake melted in his mouth.

As he sipped a cup of tea, its bittersweet flavor entranced him, almost intoxicating him with its past and

present.

Under the gentle breeze and warm sunlight, Vera rested her chin on her hands. She was gazing at Robin with eyes full of warmth and affection.

This was the happiest moment of her 20 years of life.

After three of her family members passed away, her world had dimmed.

But since meeting Robin, everything had started to feel warm and bright again.

She sought no outcome; she simply wished to quietly stay by this man's side.

Just the sight of him, the sound of his voice, or the thought of him brought her inexplicable joy.

Suddenly, the door to the private room burst open with a loud bang.

A young, fashionable woman appeared at the entrance.

She was flanked by two tall bodyguards and a woman in her thirties.

Vera was displeased and questioned, "What's going on? Why didn't you knock before barging in?!"

The thirty-something woman stepped forward and coldly declared, "Ms. Dickinson has her eyes on this room. You need to leave immediately. How much? Just name your price, and I'll transfer the r right now!" ley to you
