Chapter 355: Chapter 355 – Lock the door.

"Mr. Jewel, I received a proposal for a partnership, but I don’t think I have the authority to approve it, so I have directed the couple to you," one of the CEOs from Robin’s other companies informed him.

"Alright. Aria will handle it when they arrive," Robin replied before ending the call.

Approximately four hours later, after having lunch with Sabrina and returning to his work, Robin’s intercom rang.

"Sir, there is a couple here with a proposal for a partnership," Aria informed him. Remembering the earlier conversation with the CEO, Robin responded,

"Please let them in."

A man and a woman entered Robin’s office, both dressed formally.

"Mr. Jewel, it’s an honor to finally meet you. My name is Roger Barne, and this is my wife, Gladys Barne," the man introduced himself, shaking hands with Robin. His wife followed suit.

"Please have a seat," Robin offered, gesturing towards the visitors’ chairs in front of his desk.

As the couple sat down, the man placed the proposal on Robin’s desk. However, as Robin examined it, the man suddenly stood up and excused himself.

"Please excuse me. I left the financial part in the car. I’ll bring it in a moment," the man said before leaving the room.

Robin remained focused on the proposal, but as he looked up to ask the woman a question, he stiffened, his gaze darkening.

"What do you think you’re doing?" he asked, his voice filled with disapproval.

The woman had removed her blazer and was now wearing a transparent black tube top, exposing half of her breast, all while smiling seductively.

"Come on, Mr. Jewel, a little fun won’t hurt," she provocatively suggested.

Robin quickly pushed the document aside, realizing that he had wasted his time.

He couldn’t go into business with people like this, especially considering this unfaithful wife. With a scowl, he shoved the proposal in front of her and commanded,

"Leave my office."

The woman stood up, revealing her attractive figure. Robin couldn’t help but notice her short skirt.

Although the door was closed, it wasn’t locked, so even if he shouted for Aria, she wouldn’t hear it due to the soundproofing.

"No. I just want one moment with you, and then I’ll be gone," Glady’s said, getting up from her chair and slowly approaching him.

Robin panicked, fearing that someone might walk in and misinterpret the situation, especially since the woman was already partially undressed.

"Get out, or I’ll call security," Robin said coldly. However, the woman only smiled flirtatiously and leaned over his desk. He quickly rolled his executive chair backward to avoid her touch.

She frowned at his attempts to evade her and threatened in a smooth voice, "I could tear my clothes and accuse you of rape."

"What?" Robin paled instantly, regretting not bringing his bodyguards along.

How would Sabrina believe him when she had suggested a solution he hadn’t implemented this time because he disliked crowds?

"I’ve wanted this for so long. Please don’t deny me," the woman said, removing the tube top she was wearing as she stepped away from his desk and moved towards his chair.

Robin hoped her husband would walk in at any minute and reminded her,

"You are a married woman. Why are you doing this? Your husband will be here soon."

The woman smiled flirtatiously, "He is not my husband. I just paid him to get him here because you don’t let women in alone."

Robin clenched his teeth, his mind racing on how to get the woman out. In the worst-case scenario, he would have to forcefully remove her, but he worried she might spread false accusations since there were no cameras in his office.

She walked around the desk and was about to touch him when he yelled, "Don’t touch me. Pick up your clothes and leave."

"Mr. Jewel, do you want me to strip and scream? Just one encounter and you will never see me again," the girl threatened, confirming Robin’s fears.

She was about to touch him again when he pushed her, but she had already grabbed onto his waist belt to prevent herself from falling due to her four-inch stilettos.

Just then, the door swung open and Sabina walked in, freezing at the sight before her.

Fear filled Robin’s gaze as he began to panic. "My queen, it’s not what you’re thinking."

He had come so far and didn’t want Sabrina to misinterpret the situation.

Disappointment settled in the woman’s gaze as Sabrina analyzed the scene. Something didn’t feel right to her, but she chose to suppress her suspicions and asked,

"So what happened?"

Her gaze was icy, causing Robin to doubt whether she would believe him. Nevertheless, he mustered the courage to explain,

"She came here with her husband, who went out to retrieve something from the car. I glanced up, and she was partially undressed."

The woman pretended to be shocked, casting a pleading look at Sabrina before directing her accusing stare at Robin.

"Mr. Jewel, why are you lying? You summoned me here, and it was you who instructed me to strip."

Robin’s face drained of color as he witnessed the disappointment and pain in Sabrina’s eyes. He was at a loss for words but still attempted to defend himself.

"What?" he turned to Sabrina, "My queen, I swear it’s not true."

Upon seeing Sabrina’s gaze soften, the girl furrowed her brow and inquired, "Then how did I manage to gain entry?"

Sabrina had invested too much in her relationship with Robin, and he had shown no indication of infidelity.

She also knew that if Robin desired to cheat, he would do so without hesitation. Additionally, Robin had a reputation for being honest.

If he intended to hurt her, he wouldn’t conceal it. Sabrina turned to the girl and asked,

"You claim he called you. Do you have any evidence?"

The girl squirmed, realizing that Sabrina remained undecided. She also feared the truth coming to light, as she understood that Robin would seek revenge. Desperate for an escape, she searched for a way out.

"Yes, I left my phone in the car. I’ll go retrieve it."

Before she could reach the door, Sabrina called after her. "No, wait. I have another method of uncovering the truth. Robin, lock the door."
