CHAPTER. Exclusive invite.The lady walked over to Owen and his girlfriend, her face plastered with a frown as she spoke."I'm sorry, sir, but you'll need to leave this lobby. It's for the VVIP rooms only. The one for the VIP is right under this one,If you take the stairs you will find it down.”Owen was shocked,it was evident in his face."What do you mean we should leave when we're not done with our dinner?" he asked, shock evident in his voice.The lady's expression darkened. "Sir, I've made myself clear! You have to leave for the next lobby downstairs, but this one is strictly for the gentleman over there." She pointed at Robert. The hotel rarely sees anyone who wants to stay in the VVIP area, and she wouldn't let anyone disrespect their customer.Meanwhile, Owen's mouth fell open in shock at what the receptionist was saying. Firstly, he was shocked that she was behaving as if she didn't even know him. Other times when he came, she was usually all smiles and very polite, but now she
CHAPTER.43.Prey.Robert asked skeptically, "You are still in your nightwear. Were you so worried about me that you couldn't take your bath before rushing here?"Lily glanced at her outfit and quickly covered her face with both hands. She was embarrassed. She didn't know she was still in her nightwear. Actually, she hadn't been able to stop thinking about Robert's safety. First, she had initiated the date, and then Robert had gotten into a fight with her ex, whom she knew was so dangerous and might come back looking for him. She couldn't bring herself to sleep comfortably, and once it was morning, she wanted to make sure that he was safe.But now, she had just given out the wrong impression.She quickly composed herself, remembering that Robert was still one of her students.She laughed. "Maybe a little. I couldn't sleep after you got caught up in the rain last night. I was just slightly worried my student might catch a cold or something."He chuckled. "Don't worry about me. Just a lit
CHAPTER 44.Superhero.When he got to the section for the chocolate cakes, he couldn't help but marvel at the varieties they had. When they said they were the best, no lie was told. It was a very hard decision for him to pick the one he wanted since all of them had their unique designs. There were cakes in different shapes, and each of them had a specific beauty.When he was done, he headed to the counter to make payments for his purchases. As he was waiting in line, he heard someone shouting behind him. He was about to ignore the commotion, but then a resounding slap and a scream followed.He turned and quickly stepped up to where the action was taking place, out of curiosity. A lot of other people were already gathered to watch the unfolding scene. When Robert arrived at the scene, he was quick to get the reason for the gathering. A young man of his age stood motionless, looking aggressively at a lady who seemed to be at least two years younger than him. The young man was well-dresse
CHAPTER.45The man let out a small laugh and stylishly wiped away a tear rolling down from the corners of his eyes. It wasn't out of the gravity of laughing, but he was sobbing silently in pain. He had posed to be a strong and strict bigger person so he wouldn't give up now and let Robert win. Robert's grip was too hard for him to snap out from. He scrutinized Robert for a moment and noticed that even if he might not be wearing expensive clothes like him, he had such nice strength that he couldn't intimidate."Do you know how much these shoes cost? Do you fucking know?" He hollered at him. "Well, I don't expect you to know shit when you wear such cheap tacky wears like those slippers you're wearing now!"Like a flash, everyone's eyes went to Robert's leg, and there it was - he was wearing just a casual Prada white living room wear, it was from the hotel, and he had forgotten to change back to his normal wear. Now there was no way he was going to defend himself. The onlookers were also
CHAPTER.46."Who's in for my deal? You both combined can't afford it. Let's go, girl." He gave her a predatory look, which made the girl shudder."I know this superhero dude can't afford it!" He thought to himself before turning back to the girl.But before he said anything, Robert quickly interrupted him. "750,000?" He asked, shock evident in his voice.He had been buying expensive shoes, but never in his life has he bought any shoes as expensive as this one. Meanwhile, the girl's face dissolved into a deeper frown once she noticed that her savior didn't have such an amount to save her from the man. Besides, she wasn't expecting him to pay up such a huge amount for her when he had just met her that day!The man nodded his head and smiled. "What now? You can't afford the shoes, mister superhero?"The whole place went hush, eager to hear Robert's response."Call your account number!"The man shuddered in fear. He was taken aback when Robert asked for his account number, and he couldn't
Gasps! There was a hushed silence as everyone suddenly drifted their eyes to Robert. Was he being serious now? They couldn't believe that he had paid almost one million dollars and he was still so calm. They were shocked and embarrassed that the person they thought was broke had such an amount in his possession.A confident smile spread across Robert's face. He stood tall, his posture strong and commanding. "Get down on your knees. What are you waiting for?" he snarled.The man shifted uncomfortably due to the embarrassment. He avoided eye contact with Robert by all means. Now he had no choice but to go on bended knees to the same person he had just called names a few minutes ago. If only he had known that Robert was that rich, he would have avoided him by all means. With such money, it was crystal clear that Robert could make him disappear in the blink of an eye.He walked closer to where the girl was standing and slowly went down onto the floor on both knees. "I am sorry for earlier
Robert shrugged. "It's no big deal. I couldn't stand to see someone in such a distressing situation, so my instincts compelled me to act." He paused, then added, "You should carry on with your shopping."The girl remained, unable to tear her gaze away from Robert. He stood tall, his chiseled features radiating an effortless charm. His piercing black eyes sparkled like diamonds, framed by lush lashes that only added to his allure. His dark hair was neatly styled, and even in his casual stance, he exuded confidence and sophistication. The girl found herself captivated, her eyes lingering on his striking features, leaving her momentarily breathless and her mind racing with excitement.The girl was actually a university student who worked part-time jobs as a side hustle. She hadn't quite encountered a man who was so ruggedly handsome and kind at the same time."Thank you!" she said again, her voice soft but sincere, a gentle smile playing on her lips.Robert couldn't help but return the s
.Simon quickly went to open the door and a middle-aged woman clad in designer outfits walked inside. Robert didn't know who she was, so he just stood there, but once Madam President saw her, her lips twitched into a wide smile. "Oh my God! Mrs. Blackwell..." She screamed excitedly and rushed into her arms.The woman hugged her passionately for some couple of minutes, like lovers who found their way back. Actually, they were not lovers but rather sisters who found their way back after not seeing each other for over a decade, both were married to men of different regions, so it made it hard for them to see each other."Sis, look at you. Just look at you. You look so good!" Madam President spun her around in a 360 to have a clear vision of her. "Oh my god, you look like you're in your early thirties!"They both burst out laughing.The woman couldn't stop looking at Robert as her sister ushered her to the plush couch in the living room.Madam President quickly turned and gestured Robert
