71: Chapter 71 – Doing an amazing job

Chapter 71 – Doing an amazing job

Two days later, Martin visited Sabrina in her office with flowers. Sabrina was used to receiving his flowers every morning but she was surprised that he came to deliver it by himself today. Her voice sounded surprised,2

"Martin!"

"Sabrina. You don't look happy to see me," Martin observed and spoke. 

He was saddened to see her like that and realized that she was still upset because of what Zayla said to her. Sabrina was a decent woman so it was not surprising that Zayla's words would still take a toll on her, especially when Robin had stopped her from teaching the bitch a lesson.

"I am just under duress," Sabrina said with a forced smile. 

In a way, she blamed Martin because if they had just left without him trying to confront Robin, Zayla would not have had the chance to say those mean things to Sabrina.

"Wanna talk about it?" Martin asked worriedly.

He wanted to put back that smile and excitement on her face before their ruined date. 

Sabrina was still certain that whatever Martin discussed with Robin was very important for which reason he went to speak to him.

"No, I'm still worried about what you discussed with Robin," Sabrina said honestly, Martin felt uneasy upon realizing that she did not believe what he said earlier but how could he let her know their discussion?

Even if he left out the part about Mara, he would still be revealing to Sabrina that Robin cared about her, which would not be good for him.

"Sabrina, you don't believe me? It was nothing important," he insisted, Sabrina shook her head and resigned,

"You won't tell me. So why are you here?" She asked seriously. 

Martin went across to give the flowers to her but with the reluctance she took to receiving it, his heart sank even more.

"You are upset," he observed and spoke. Sabrina was annoyed and quickly said,

"I already said I was under duress."

Martin set the new documents before her and announced whiles sitting on a chair in front of her,

"Well, there is good news. Our first contract picked up so this is the one for the second stage."

With her father's words still registered in her mind, Sabrina was not ready to sign anything from Martin without her father's approval. 

"Do you mind if I go through it and sign it a little later? I received some other proposals and six more multinational companies are willing to partner with us," she revealed. Martin was elated. Any increase in JC Minerals was an automatic increase for his company too. 

"You have done an amazing job," he complimented her. Sabrina forced a smile before she responded,

"I guess so."

She did not feel the need to give the details of how stressful everything was and the fact that she would have to attend meetings in each of those companies beginning the next week. 

The road to success was indeed a bumpy one and she wondered how Robin had so much time to be fucking around when his company was much larger than hers.

Suddenly, she felt annoyed to have even thought of him. All she wanted to do was hate and stay away from him. She also wished to never bump into him again, even by accident.

"You don't look happy," Martin observed and pointed out again. Already being partners, there was no need to keep it to herself so Sabrina revealed,

"They all keep referring to Robin. He is the reason why they want to partner with me and though their offers are good, I'm still thinking about it."

Martin looked displeased and it registered in his voice. They did not have a contract forbidding either of them to partner with others but Robin being in the picture, made him very uncomfortable. 

"Won't it be better if you don't partner with them?"

Sabrina was considering the same thing since she wanted nothing to do with Robin but this was beyond her. Concerning partnerships, she never approved any without her father's consent.

"It's still under discussion with my dad. You know he's my boss."

Martin was saddened because his influence ended with Devin and Sabrina. He could not influence their father because of how distant he was towards him.

"Whatever you decide to do, please let me know," he said and rose to his feet. He had forgotten about Sabrina's father in all his earlier plans for which reason he thought it wise to change it a little.

"Sure, Sure, I will," Sabrina agreed while her gaze remained on her laptop.

"What about lunch?" Martin asked, looking at how busy she was. He would not be surprised if she skipped it which would not be good for her condition.

"I told Devin to get me lunch later. I won't have the time to go out," she absentmindedly responded.

"Please don't stress yourself, Sabrina. You know your condition," Martin said and she stilled for a while before replying,

"Thank you for reminding me." Indeed, she had forgotten that she needed to eat healthily for her child. Work was quite overwhelming now.

At the Jewels Group of Companies

A skimpily dressed woman with blonde hair stood in front of Robin's office reception whiles saying to the secretary, 

"Good morning, Mr. Jewel called me to come."

Aria was surprised because Robin seemed busy today and had not requested any of his whores. Moreover, he had not visited the club for some time too. 

Playing safe, she decided to check the emails and calendar to see if she missed anything.

"What is your name? I have to confirm," she asked while checking her database. The woman standing in front of her desk was clothed in unease and seemed to be in a hurry.

"You are so sloppy. I don't have time to waste. Tell your boss that the woman he called is here. I just hope you don't get fired," she threatened strongly, Aria was confused. 

The woman's attitude was different from the way she was dressed and Aria was at a loss.
