81: Chapter 81 – Sabrina’s forgiveness

Chapter 81 – Sabrina’s forgiveness

"I just face them slowly as they come," Sabrina responded without looking at him.1

"Very smart but you should not allow those men to bully you next time. You have to understand at such meetings that you are in charge," he encouraged her then he recalled his conversation with Matilda and said, 

"Sabrina, I'm sorry for what happened during the dinner at the hotel. I didn't know that Zayla had disrespected you."

Sabrina glanced at him and seeing his serious look, she gulped and responded, "Apology accepted but I should get going." 

She was interested in the business part and had wanted to ask some more questions about how to handle such men but Zayla's name ruined her mood.

"I will drop you off," Robin said and stood up when she said,

"Thanks, but my boyfriend is already on his way. I will meet him at the car park"

Robin expected to see Devin since he was the one Sabrina spoke to and tease her a little but was surprised when his intercom rang and Aria said,

"Sir, Miss Chance is here to see you."

At Robin's penthouse

Zayla was speaking to Robin on the phone when her father's call came through. She excused Robin and pushed everything she wanted to say about the pictures and videos she saw concerning him and Sabrina aside.

"Dad, how are you?" She asked with concern, already knowing that things were not well. Her father would only call her like this when there was a problem.

"Zayla, we lost everything. I have been arrested, and your mother left," her father announced from the end of the line. 

When he told the police that he wanted to call his lawyers, his daughter was the one he called.

"What? How can she be so heartless?" Zayla was upset with her mother leaving them in a time like this but her father explained further,

"It was not her fault. She told me to move in with her into her apartment yesterday but I refused. Today after the meeting with all the investors, I could not hide the losses anymore and declared the company bankrupt. The investors called me a fraud and got me arrested, asking me to give them back their money."

"Oh dad, this is bad," Zayla shook her head since she still had not done much in making Robin hers. 

Surprisingly, her father began pouring his anger on her, blaming her for everything that happened in his life.

"It's all your fault. You have not been able to get anything from Robin for over a month now."

Zayla was already choking on tears. Even after destroying Sabrina's marriage, things were still difficult for her. Robin took care of her but he wanted nothing to do with her father. 

"I'm sorry but Robin is too difficult."

"So, are you going to let me rot in jail?" Her father asked furiously, Zayla shook a little.

"Never. I will ask Robin to come and bail you. I will go and see him at his office now. Just hang in there, dad, I will be right back," Zayla said with determination.

She rushed over to Robin's office with the driver he gave her. Getting to the reception, Aria blocked her way and said seriously, 

"Mr. Jewel told me to not let anyone in, including you." 

She intentionally added the 'including you' part, knowing how stubborn Zayla was. 

"What? Me? His fiancé? Does he have someone in there?" Zayla guessed it must be Sabrina but Aria did not respond and picked the intercom,

"Sir, Miss Chance is here to see you."

Robin knew that Zayla would do anything to upset Sabrina and did not want her to come in. "Tell her to give me a few minutes," Robin said almost in a whisper. 

Just as he hangs up, the intercom rang again and Aria said, "sir, Mr. Dane is here to see Miss James."

Robin did not want to let Martin in but for the fact that another pregnant woman was waiting for him, he allowed it,

"Let him in."

As soon as the door opened, Sabrina stood up and went to hug Martin. Taking advantage of the situation, Martin wrapped his arms safely around her waist, 

Robin frowned imperceptibly. Martin knew he would not get this chance on a normal day, for which reason he did so.

Robin wanted to call him out concerning their last discussion before Zayla's interruption but since Zayla was there, he would allow Martin to enjoy this moment. 

"Why didn't you call me? And what are you doing here?" Martin asked worriedly, while he glanced at Robin. 

Internally, he was afraid of striking any form of conversation with Robin, lest he reminded him of the warning. 

Luckily, Sabrina made it easy for him, saying,

"Let's talk in the car." She turned to Robin, smiled, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jewel."

Robin's frown only deepened but he did not respond. Martin was lucky today but Robin would make sure that he did not get it easy next time. 

When Sabrina saw Zayla at the reception, she pretended to not notice her and said to Aria, 

"Have a nice day."

"You too, Miss James," Aria responded with a smile which made Zayla upset before she barged into Robin's office. She wondered how Aria treated Sabrina nicely and was mostly rude to her. 

Seeing Robin and knowing that she needed his help, she quickly went to hug him and said, 

"Robin, what is that shameless woman doing here?"

Robin pushed her away gently and said seriously, 

"Zayla, I don't want to hear you calling Sabrina names. I already told you her story."

"But you are divorced. You should not be close to her," Zayla stated. She did not want to bring it up so soon but her jealousy did not allow her brain to function correctly.

"Zayla, she fainted in a business meeting. Did you expect me to just leave her there?" Robin asked, annoyed by her incessant probing. 

"You should have called 911. You should not have brought her to your office," Zayla insisted. 

Robin did not want to talk about it anymore since she was not ready to understand. He asked her in a serious tone,

"Why are you doing here Zayla?"
