Chapter 221: Chapter 221 – He kissed her bump

Sabrina did not answer his question but rather stared at the woman beside him with unease and asked,

"Who is she?"

She was more alert now because of the woman, making Robin confused as to whether she had just seen the woman when she had been there all along.

Promptly, he did the introduction. "Her name is Laura Smith, your new secretary."

Sabrina instantly relaxed, "okay."

"It’s an honor to meet you ma’am, I will learn about your preferences from your secretary and I hope we can work together."

The woman stretched her head towards her for a handshake.

She was a model figure with a little accent but had a stunning beauty and yet everything else about her was very professional.

"I hope so too," Sabrina shook her hand and said, knowing that it would be good to always have somebody in the secretary’s office before hers just in case somebody walks in when her secretary goes to ease herself or something.

"I will go to the office now. Since you are not there, can you please inform your secretary to take me through your schedules?" She asked politely, Sabrina smiled and responded,

"Sure."

"I will be gone then," She bowed a little and turned around when Sabrina said to Robin in a disappointed tone,

"Goodbye, Robin."

She was expecting them to go together, for which reason she said so but Robin was a little confused and asked her teasingly,

"Is it that you don’t want to share your breakfast with me today?"

Sabrina was a little embarrassed since she was never stingy with food and said honestly,

"I thought you were going with her."

"No. We came with separate cars," Robin clarified before Sabrina stretched her neck and saw Laura driving away.

"Alright, come in."

She was about to open the door when Robin said behind her,

"You didn’t let me touch them."

He was so close that she could practically hear his beat and also felt his minty breath on her ears.

Sabrina could not understand why this was happening, and why her heart rate was quickening just like his.

However, calming herself and yet feeling the blood rushing up her cheeks, she came to the understanding that her heart had always reacted that way at Robin’s presence but now, she had to rely on her mind to not make the same mistakes.

"Alright, just be quick," she lifted her shirt a little and closed her eyes, expecting to feel his warm palms on her belly but it was nothing like that.

What she felt on her belly was warm moist lips, sending a strange fire heating her whole body.

She quickly opened her eyes to see Robin kneeling in front of her with his lips pressed to his belly and his eyes closed.

Sabrina froze and it extended to every part of her body.

For the first time, she did not know what to do, upon seeing him so vulnerable.

Putting herself together, she allowed him to take as much time as he wanted since it was not every day, he’d request to touch her bump.

When Robin finally rose to his feet, he had tears in his eyes because of how much he missed but quickly wiped them and smiled,

"Thank you very much. This meant a lot to me."

Sabrina did not know what to say since the whole move was unexpected.

Robin opened the door for her and they both walked in together.

Because of everyone around, he did not get to eat on the same plate with her like he wanted and after having breakfast together with Lizzy and Cobby since Devin and Matilda already left the house early to sort things out, Robin left at the same time Cobby did.

When he returned to the office, Aria was not at her desk but her laptop was on, which showed that she had arrived.

He went inside his office when Aria knocked after almost thirty minutes and walked in.

It was the norm that if Robin did not respond to her knock, then he was just too busy but it also meant that he was aware that she was coming in.

"Good morning, sir."

Robin lifted his head from what he was doing and glanced at her,

"Aria, Good morning. Did you see my emails? You were not seated when I returned."

Aria was nervous but because Robin was not looking at her, he did not notice it.

"Yes sir, I saw them. I went to the HR manager’s office."

Robin’s brows knitted a little at the sound of HR and he asked,

"Is there a problem?"

Since he hadn’t requested anything from that department, he was not expecting her to be there.

"Yes sir," Aria said and Robin grew worried since she never complained about anything ever since they started working together over five years ago.

"Well then, sit."

Aria sat in front of him, dropping her gaze when Robin lifted his.

"Thank you, sir, I just informed the HR manager and I thought I should let you know as well that I’m five months pregnant and will be taking both my annual and maternity leave in three months."

"You are pregnant."

The news was both sweet and sour to Robin but his happiness for her dominated any other thing.

Indeed, she had been married for a long time. He remembered when she began working and he tried to hit on her the first time she resumed work.

He did not feel ashamed of that part because he was not married then.

She quickly informed him that she got married two weeks ago and the job was like a wedding present for her, which meant that Aria had been childless for over five years, and yet, she had nothing to show that her husband treated her badly for not having children.

Robin felt ashamed. He was just married for three years and gave Sabrina hell.

"Yes sir."

His lips curled up. "Well then, congratulations!"

"Thank you."

"Can I ask a personal question?" He asked and she nodded, wondering what it was going to be.

"Throughout your years of being married, was it your decision to wait this long?"
