Chapter 2223
Robin sat up, "Come in!"
Diana pushed the door open, a look of surprise on her face. "Weren''t you supposed to be on a date with Sophia? Howe you''re back?"
Robin offered a faint smile, "Something work-rted came upst minute. You''re still here?"
"No rush," Diana replied with a gentle smile, pouring a cup of tea for Robin. "It''s been hectic at the officetely. President Hester, you really should
spend some quality time with Sophia. Otherwise, she might start havingints!"
Robin lowered his gaze, a shadow of sadness crossing his face, "l used to think she really loved me. Only now do I realize that''s not the case.”
Diana''s gaze flickered, sitting next to him, her voice even softer, "What happened? Did you guys have a fight?"
It waste at night, and Robin was exhausted, feeling an urge to confide, and the girl in front of him felt like the right person to talk to.Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
"She''s good friends with the president''s wife of the Lamont Group. I wanted her to help introduce our products to the Lamont Group, but she refused,
making all sorts of excuses!" Robin shook his head in self-mockery, "Makes me feel like I''m doing something shady!"
Diana, surprised, asked, "Why? It''s such a great opportunity. Why wouldnt Sophia want to help?”
Robin scoffed, "Probably because she''s afraid it might affect her rtionship with Estelle."
A glint of intrigue shed in Diana''s eyes as she sighed softly, "Why can''t Sophia be more understanding? If we could coborate with the Lamont
Group, ourpany could really take off. You wouldn''t have to work so hard. It hurts me to see you like this every day.”
Robin, rubbing his temples in frustration, said sarcastically, "So, her concern for me is just lip service. She doesn''t understand what I truly need."
Diana leaned in closer, her voiceforting, "President Hester, no matter what others do, I''ll always stand by you. Though my abilities are limited, I''ll
give my all for thepany.”
Robin turned to lock at her, her gentle face stirring something in him, and he nodded slowly. "I know. You left a high-paying job to help me. I''ve always
remembered that kindness."
Diana, blushing, replied softly, "I never expected anything in return. I''m doing all this willingly!"
Their eyes met, and the room fell silent, an awkward yet palpable tension hanging in the air.
"Uh," Robin turned to take a big gulp of his drink, "It''s gettingte. Let me drive you home."
Diana smiled, "Thank you, President Hester!"
Robin smiled back, "Stop calling me President Hester. It sounds so formal.”
"What should I call you then?" Diana tilted her head, "Big Bro Robin?"
Robin nodded, "That works."
Diana giggled, ying coy, "Thank you!"
Robin asked, "What about that guy who''s been following you? Is he still around?"
Diana frowned, "He''s still there, like a bad penny.”
"Don’t worry, you''ve got me," Robin assured her seriously.
"Mhm!" Diana nodded, full of trust and reliance.

She even wondered if his sudden change of heart had anything to do with her refusing to contact Estelle.
But then she immediately dismissed the thought, feeling it wasn''t right to specte about him like that.
The cold moonlight shane on her pale face, casting a serene glow.
"Out here in the middle of the night, catching a cold wind, looks like you''re asking to catch a cold again!”
A cool voice came from behind her. Sophia turned around, her brow furrowing, "Jason!"
