213: Chapter 213 – To destroy everything he holds dear

Chapter 213 – To destroy everything he holds dear

Robin got to the office, not too surprised by the people waiting for him. 2

If it was Aria, he would have just greeted them and walked into his office, and she would have known what to do but he never worked with this secretary before, saying,

"Rita, I will meet them according to their time or arrival." 

Rita, the temporary secretary had a strange smile on her face, seemingly excited but before she responded, Devin said,

"Take care of them first. I will wait."

He was the first to arrive but since his reason for being there was not official, he did not see the need to waste Robin's time when he had important guests waiting for him.

Robin knew that the only reason Devin would be there must be because of either Sabrina or Martin, both of whom were equally important to him so he said to Devin,

"You can still wait in my office if you won't cause trouble."

Devin smiled and shook his head. Their days of fighting were over and he even felt ashamed to be in Robin's office like this.

However, since Robin had done worse things and claimed to be a changed person now, Devin felt that he also deserved a second chance.

"I will take the offer and I promise not to cause you any trouble," he said politely, Robin raised his brows, a little amazed.

Devin being polite, was something amusing.

He turned to the six men waiting for him and rendered an apology,

"Sorry for the wait gentlemen, I will see the board members first."

The board members stood up and followed him since Devin had gone ahead. 

He worked on his phone while Robin had a meeting with his board members. 

It was not the annual one but rather an emergency meeting and a short one because one of the board members was proposing a new business as a subsidiary, which Robin did not think was a bad idea and promised to look into it.

"Thank you for taking our suggestions. We shall leave now?" one of the board members said and Robin walked them to the door.

The second and third batches came in and by the time Robin was done, two hours were already gone. 

Rita walked into his office after seeing the last batch leave, forgetting that Devin was still there since the latter had gone in earlier.

She opened the extra buttons of her shirt, exposing her assets whilst holding a cup of coffee on a saucer and took it to Robin's desk, paling at the sight of Devin even when his face was buried in his phone.

"Sir, your coffee."

Robin lifted his head and his eyes caught her full breast through the V-neck-shaped shirt she wore and frowned.

Rita was a relief staff and perhaps did not know the rules but Robin did not have the luxury of time to explain, thereby saying,

"Rita, bring me coffee only if I ask for it, and as for right now, you are going to change that dress however you can but you should be back in not more than thirty minutes, or else, you are fired."

His cold countenance was a shock to Rita, she froze and her hand holding the coffee shook. 

It was an open secret that Robin liked women a lot. 

Most of them usually were more skimpily dressed than her and he has not had a woman in a while so why was he being hostile to her?

Rita was a very attractive woman and planned to use her seductive charm to cause Robin to retain her and send Aria to any of the branches or departments, she couldn't care which.

Whilst she stood there, unable to utter a word, Robin walked past her and went to sit beside Devin.

"So how is the company?" He asked.

Devin was about to answer but lifting his head from his phone and seeing his secretary frozen like that, he asked Robin, 

"Is she alright?"

He was not paying attention to them earlier, not knowing what transpired between them.

Robin's eyes darkened at the sight of Rita and he snarled,

"Rita, two minutes have gone already."

It was only at the sound of that warning that Rita jolted out of her shock and walked out of the door.

"Where is your other secretary?"

Devin asked, not liking how this one was dressed to work with a man like Robin.

"Sabrina wasn't comfortable so I sent Aria over. She will be here tomorrow when the secretary I arranged for Sabrina arrives."

Devin wondered why the hustle since there was already another secretary.

"Let her work there since you already made the arrangement."

"She's like my right hand, knowing what I want before I ask her. She's also married but the main reason is, the one I arranged would also act as Sabrina's secret bodyguard. She is from a secret service agency."

Devin was amazed by Robin's thoughtfulness concerning Sabrina, knowing it was because of what happened between her and Martin. 

"I didn't know that Aria was married and I wonder why she never wears her ring. Anyway, thank you for watching out for Sabrina. The video has done wonderfully well and I also destroyed the document Sabrina signed. Do you think that we still have to go to court?"

"Do you mean that you destroyed Martin's copy?" Robin asked, trying to think about what might have transpired between the once best friends.

"Yes."

"Then we don't have to go to court because you destroyed the evidence," Robin explained when Devin reminded him,

"But Sabrina still has hers."

Robin paused for a while, knowing that if they pressed charges, Martin might go to jail for a few months or years but he wanted the latter to face something worse, wanting to speak to the general about it.

 "Well, he would need his document to complete the change of ownership process so since you have taken away his power, the company remains untouched. You could as well destroy Sabrina's copy so he doesn't pay someone to steal it," he suggested before Devin asked,

"But how do we press charges against him?" He was desperate to grant Sabrina's wish.

"If we do, it's going to be a legal battle and Sabrina would have to add court appearances to her schedule so you have to find out if she is willing to do so because getting him arrested is easy," Robin said thoughtfully before Devin asked,

"So, what do you suggest?"

Robin's expression darkened and his voice was chilly,

"To destroy everything, he holds dear."
