195: Chapter 195 - Maybe, this would cheer you up

Chapter 195 - Maybe, this would cheer you up

Martin was calm, not for once getting upset since he has waited for this opportunity for so long. 

He had good plans for her but needed to get his ring on her finger. 

He spoke calmly after hearing her ranting curses,

"Sabrina, I'm your only hope."

Sabrina refused to succumb to the likes of him and yelled,

"No. I will find another way."

Martin smiled bitterly, knowing that Robin would indeed help Sabrina if she wanted but it was painful for him that instead of Sabrina getting married to him to get everything back, she would rather go back to the man who treated her like nothing.

He was sure that Robin would not do it for free either. 

For as long as he wanted her back, he would use it as bait to get her.

"Your ex-husband, right? Trust me, he would give you the same conditions and you know that he is a manwhore."

Sabrina was not considering seeking Robin's help but to hell would she marry Martin, especially after seeing him for who he was?

"You know what Martin; I don't ever want to see your sorry face ever again."

An instant response permeated the phone line before she could end the call, 

"But you will because your company is now mine. You will be working under me."

Sabrina's heart boiled with pain, imagining her, her father, Devin, and Lizzy, all reporting to Martin. 

Her father especially, who never trusted him, might die of shame. It would be such a disgraceful instance for them and Sabrina would only have herself to blame. 

She was about to respond when a knock sounded at the back of the door of the VIP ward. 

Matilda went to get it, thinking it was Devin only to quickly move out of the way in a way that got Sabrina curious.

Her mouth opened but no word came out as she saw a large bouquet of red roses at the doorway before Robin's face appeared behind it. 

She quickly ended the call and facepalmed, then tried to wipe her tears.

She never saw a bouquet so big and loved it but due to the problem at hand, she could not bring herself to admire it, afraid that Robin was going to remind her about his warning concerning Martin.

To her utmost surprise, he was rather all smiles as if nothing had happened or rather, as if he was not aware of whatever was happening.

"Dear one, how are you feeling?" Robin asked, dropping the bouquet on the stand close to her head. 

It was so huge that it blocked her view from his face, he had to wheel it away a little.

Sabrina looked at the roses and smiled. She loved flowers so it brightened her gloomy day. 

Robin removed a single Rose and gave it to her. 

"They are fresh," he smiled and said, Sabrina found it strange. 

This side of Robin, she never saw throughout their time of marriage, and even when he claimed to have changed, his behavior today was different, especially when she expected him to be happy that his prophecy came to pass.

"Thank you," she forced a smile. 

Matilda sneaked out to give them privacy and Robin pulled the chair Matilda sat on before, lowering himself beside Sabrina.

It took a while to get such a huge bouquet of Roses after leaving Martin's office but he just wanted to do anything to brighten her day and to take her mind off whatever happened earlier. 

"I am happy to see that you are fine but why are you sad?" He asked with a gentle smile as if he was not aware. 

Sabrina did not want to tell him for fear that he might mock her,

"Nothing."

Robin's smile remained on his face. If she wanted to speak, he would listen but never would he do anything to make her feel guilty.

"You know that friends confide in each other, right? As your best friend, I promise to just listen. I won't try to offer advice."

Sabrina was amazed by how he quickly upgraded himself over the past few weeks to the level of the best friend. 

The past few weeks have been great since Robin never mentioned them getting back together again. 

He behaved towards her like a true friend would, finding things of interest for them to talk about at most times, ranging from nature to food or anything of interest including business.

It made it easy for her to let it out,

"I lost everything. I signed it all away," Sabrina held the single Rose to her chest whilst she fought back the tears that wanted to fall, not wanting to look weak.

"Do you remember doing so?" Robin asked her, already knowing the answer,

"No."

"Then it's not your fault."

Sabrina's eyes widened and he quickly apologized, 

"Sorry. I said I won't offer advice."

He must have read Sabrina's expression wrongly because she was just surprised that he did not judge her or try to sing the 'I told you so song' to her.

"It's my fault. I should have been careful."

Robin shook his head and stroke her hand gently, he stared at her earnestly, saying,

"You were careful. It would only be deemed as careless if you signed in your right state of mind."

His words comforted Sabrina but it did not solve the problem at hand.

"But everything is still lost."

Robin pretended to be surprised, acting calmly, 

"Really? I don't see it that way."

Sabrina frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Robin sighed and did not want to keep pretending. He brought out his phone and allowed her to watch the latest news. 

It wasn't live but he kept the record for her.

"Maybe, this will cheer you up."

When Sabrina watched the video of her father's press conference, shock and regret cruised through her, she shook her head after. 

"He doesn't have that kind of money."

The corner of Robin's lips curled slightly and he asked her softly, 2

"So, you think he's making an empty promise?" 

He wanted to be sure that she did not suspect his involvement in the matter to not ruin the friendship he worked so hard to build.
