Chapter 245 – It's better you stop running or you'll get hurt.

Seeing the color drain from her face, Robin was disturbed and clarified,1

"You don't have to be afraid. Your brother is already taking care of it. He only told me to keep an eye on you and to make sure that you don't panic."

Robin was afraid that if she found out he was the one doing everything, she would think it was because he was aware that she saved his life.

Since that matter was still pending, he felt it was best to do as he had done before.

Sabrina relaxed at the knowledge that Devin was taking care of everything on her behalf. 

He had always been there for her anyway and she was happy to not be kept in the dark about the things happening around her so since she now knew, she wouldn't be impolite to reject any man who requested a dance from her.

"Thank you for telling me. At least I won't feel bad about not dancing with anyone."

Her words warmed Robin's heart and also awoke his understanding that it was better to make her aware of the dangers than to keep them from her.

Those were the things that made it difficult to deal with her sometimes since she always saw the world from the peaceful side like she was.

At first, she would not have believed it but after being hit with the shock that took away her peace and sent her into a state of unconsciousness for some time, she was not going to be fooled twice.

"So, I will escort you to the ladies' room with Matilda or Lizzy. They can go inside with you, and I will wait outside," Robin proposed and this time, she felt safer with him and agreed,

"Alright."

Sabrina stood up and told Lizzy to go with her to the washroom but Matilda still followed them with the excuse that she wanted to pee as well.

Robin waited a while and saw the two men stand up to follow her, whispering something into their cordless earpiece.

Robin was certain that they were up to no good so he turned in the direction of the general.

The middle-aged military man was smart enough to catch all the signs the moment he tuned his mind to it and already released two bodyguards to follow Robin, who had walked ahead without the two men knowing that they were being followed.

The three ladies went into the ladies' room and when the two men were about to enter, Robin called behind them,

"Are you transgender?"

Robin could see the panic on their faces when they saw him before one of them said,

"Sorry, we read the sign wrongly."

Robin glared at him. 

"Are you sure?" He asked, happy that he bought this hotel and hosted the party in it. 

As such, he had control over everything.

The man smiled to hide the nervousness whilst saying, 

"These signs are always exclusive to every hotel. They always vary."

Robin smiled, confirming that the men were up to no good because the signs of the male and female gender never changed for decades.

"Alright, I am the one who sent out the invitations. Let me see yours," Robin stretched his hand and calmly demanded, beads of sweat forming on the faces of the two men.

Sadly, they could not reach the man who sent them to bring the woman.

The two men exchanged glances. They wanted to attack Robin or run away but then, two men joined Robin, standing on either of his sides, and their defenses broke.

"Ehmmmm, I left my invitation on my table."

"It won't be hard to come and show me but first, remove those things from your ears," Robin demanded.

They swallowed tightly, feeling powerless, and removed the earpieces but Robin's hand was already stretched towards them. 

"Hand it over."

The men were finding it difficult to reach their boss so they were skeptical as to whether they should just confess their crimes or still play the I don't know game.

In the course of their inner battles, the two other men beside Robin were scary looking. Everyone knew they were from the military because they were guarding the general.

A glare from them was enough to make the two men cringe, they handed over the cordless earpieces to Robin.

Robin raised the earpieces close to his ears but to his surprise, he could only hear the sounds of the wind but no sound of a voice, he panicked.

"Who were you communicating with?" He demanded solemnly, wanting to know if Martin had been apprehended or escaped.

"Just ourselves," one of the men said but Robin had dealt with so many liars, making it easy to detect them.

"Telling the truth would save you rather than resulting in lies," he said in a warning tone, just as he heard the clicking sound of stilettos and said to the bodyguards, 

"Please take them to where you sent the other two."

Feeling helpless and not able to reach their boss, one of them said, 

"Please, we'll talk."

Sabrina was done so Robin could not waste any more time.

"You had your chance. You can talk when you get there," he said indifferently and beckoned the bodyguards who dragged the two men away. 

He met the women and led them back to their seats before saying to Sabrina,

"Dear one, I will give you your birthday gift later but shall we dance?"

****

At the car park, Devin arrived but due to so many cars, he could not locate Martin, since the latter had changed his car to help his disguise.

When Rich Frost and the bodyguard arrived, Martin stepped out of his car and when he saw Devin, he turned around and began to run.

Rich Frost was confused, not knowing whether to go for the gift since the bodyguard had seen the car door Martin opened before running away.

Devin has always been a violent person so he instantly gave Martin a wild chase, ensuring to not fall onto other people's cars.

Reaching one of the cars with its owner changing a flat, he picked a wheel spanner whilst running and screamed apologetically, 

"I'm borrowing it."

Without waiting for a response, he screamed ahead since Martin crossed the hotel entrance, joining the main road.

"It's better you stop running or you'll get hurt." 

Martin did not heed the warning and refused to stop so Devin threw the wheel spanner and it hit his head, he lost his focus, and his face hit the side of a car door, he rolled and fell on the floor.
