Chapter 170: Chapter 170 – Robin, I got Mara’s hacker.

The drive to the hotel where the meeting was being held was in an awkward silence.

Robin decided to just check the CCTV in his office when he returns since Sabrina would not tell him whatever she was discussing with Martin.

He could not help but feel that Martin was up to something. If he had a sister like Mara and could perfectly hide her from the public’s eyes, then he was equally dangerous.

"I hope you are not coming with me," Sabrina said when he parked the car.

Robin smiled bitterly. It was understandable that she did not want him anywhere around her but it was still painful, especially realizing that it was all his fault, due to his desperation for a child.

He wondered how Zayla knew and used it against him but he was soon to find out.

"Sorry to disappoint you but I have every right to be there," Robin said politely, Sabrina was still uncomfortable and said,

"But you can decide not to come."

Her resilience to keep him away from her was something Robin understood but could not approve of, especially knowing that Martin would be there as well as other single CEOs.

"Don’t worry. I will not utter a word."

He thought that giving his support was one of the things that upset her but Sabrina was in to shock him.

"Uttering a word is not my problem. I just don’t want people to think that I have something to do with my ex-husband."

She said it as if his presence was some kind of disease but Robin took it politely.

He knew she was already upset because of Martin but had a feeling that one day, she would thank him for it.

For now, he would just do his best to not get in her way.

"I understand. Right after the elevator, you can go first and I will follow after two minutes."

Sabrina seemed satisfied with the suggestion. "That’s better."

Robin kept his word and as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, he went to the men’s washroom while Sabrina went ahead.

When he reached there, there was only one empty chair which was at the far end since each of the CEOs was in attendance, adding up to twelve of them at the long conference table.

The empty chair was right opposite Sabrina but Martin was sitting on Sabrina’s right-hand side which got Robin furious.

When Sabrina walked in alone, Martin was elated but seeing Robin now, his joy turned to sorry.

Robin walked right up to him and before uttering a word, Martin stood up and went to sit at the end with his gaze dark.

He thought that Robin would not come and after the meeting, he could ask to discuss a few things with Sabrina and drop the pill but again, Robin’s presence destroyed his plans.

Everyone had a bottle of water in front of them and that was what Martin wanted to use but again, his plans failed.

Sabrina felt awkward since once again, she was the only woman even though other investors outside from those of Jewel’s group were there.

It was a full house and she could not help feeling nervous.

However, she found her confidence as soon as all those neatly dressed men in suits began to look at her expectantly, though some of them reluctantly.

"Once again, I would like to welcome you all to our biweekly report meeting. I also hope that after updating you with the occurrences of these few weeks, we can schedule our subsequent meetings to once a month."

A few of the CEOs nodded but some of them were quite reluctant. Sabrina swallowed and continued since Robin advised her the last time to not be intimidated by them.

It annoyed her that his advice worked so well but he was indeed far more experienced than her, for which reason she had to admit that Robin was good at what he does.

Another reason why her confidence was gingered was the fact that they had made more profit than expected of these investors.

"This week, we have experienced substantial growth as displayed on the screen. Purchase of rare gems skyrocketed suddenly but the usual gold and diamonds were also not left out. We also purchased a 5kg jade which would bring a lot of profit when used to produce pieces of jewelry."

She paused and looked at their tables. "Everything in the document in front of you has been projected on the screen. You can read the margins from the last time we had this meeting two weeks ago."

She was able to now get the whole house nodding their heads in satisfaction, which caused her to smile.

"To add to this, our stocks are also rising tremendously every day."

"Miss James, I must say that I am very impressed with your hard work. If you are free after this meeting, I would like to reward you," one of the single CEOs said and Sabrina smiled.

She could tell that he had no idea that she was pregnant for which reason he was trying to hit on her right in the middle of the meeting.

He was a young millionaire who joined the investors just a week ago. Before Sabrina could answer yes or no, Robin responded in her stead,

"She is not available."

His countenance was chilly but the young CEO was determined. He has been in New Jersey for a long time, only moving to New York a few weeks ago, and did not know who Robin was to Sabrina.

"Mr. Jewel..."

"Please focus on matters concerning the meeting," Robin quickly shut him up.

When he opened his mouth again, one of the CEOs pulled him by his suit sleeve, beckoning him to not argue with Robin before the latter messed up his business.

"Miss James, because of your brilliant performance, I wish to propose for our next meeting to be scheduled for a month from now and if this growth continues, we could have it quarterly."

It was one of the CEOs from Robin’s group who brought it up and Sabrina liked the idea.

"I second."

"I also second."

Nine CEOs had already seconded so there was no need to cast a vote. Sabrina, therefore, brought the meeting to a close.

"In that case, our next meeting would be in a month from now. My secretary would send everyone soft copies of the report."

"Thank you, Miss James, have a great day," one of the CEOs said while the rest nodded and they each began to walk out of the conference room.

Sabrina wanted to speak with Martin but because of Robin, he was the first to leave. Sabrina frowned and was about to say something when Robin’s phone rang. It was Daniel so he answered it.

"Robin, I got Mara’s hacker."
