Chapter 140 Fool
Piper leaned against the peephole again, watching Rolin’s door closely.
Rosalie shook her head, puzzled. “Piper, aren’t you reading into things too much?

“Robin doesn’t seem like that kind of person. And besides, does he need to wait outside our door just to spy on you?”
Piper hulled in annoyance. “Oh, spare me. Every time bring up Robin, you defend him! I know you’re already infatuated with that jerk.
“I’ve seen men like him 100 times! He’d do anything just to get me to look his way.
“And now he’s stalking me? Ugh, it’s disgusting!
Rosalie sighed. Piper, I think you’re overreacting.
“We should try to get along with Robin. Who knows, we might even become friends. We work at the same company and live nearby; we could look out for each other.
Before she could finish, Piper cut in, irritated. “Give it a rest. Men like him are everywhere. No family connections, no real network–there’s no future in getting close to someone like him!”
Rosalie hesitated, then said, “Actually, Piper, I heard that Robin might be a senior executive at the Dunn Group.
“I mean, maybe you should be a bit more careful around him?”
Piper paused, then burst into laughter.
“Oh, Rosalie, do you believe that rumor? Ha! This has got to be some nonsense Robin spread around himself!
“He probably wants me to think he’s some big shot at the Dunn Group, hoping I’ll be curious about him and start liking him. What a pathetic trick! Ha!”
Rosalie smiled wryly. “You’re set against him, aren’t you?”
Piper scoffed, “If he were a Dunn Group executive, do you think he’d walk or ride a shared bike to work every day? Please!
Just look at his style and attitude–does he give off any executive vibes?
“Rosalie, there’s something I didn’t tell you.
“Connor’s currently investigating Robin at Mr. Dixon’s request.
“Robin’s been bribing Ms. Jenning to curry favor with Ms. Dunn and other higher–ups at the Dunn Group, doing all sorts of shady things behind the scenes.
“Connor told me he’s already gathered dirt on Robin and has reported everything to Mr. Dixon.

“Did you know Robin cons women from wealthy families to get what he wants?
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Ms. Silva was tricked into being with him.
“Guys like him are total frauds!

He probably wormed his way into Ms. Jenning’s good graces just to climb the Dunn Group’s ranks.
“So, Rosalie, take my advice and keep your distance! He’s not the nice guy you think he is.
“The only reason he helped you back then was to get closer to inc.
“Because he could see I’m destined to be a high–class professional.
“He’s desperate to win me over, thinking that somehow being with me will lift him into high society.”
“Is that really what you think? You’ve got quite the imagination, Piper,” Rosalie said, sturned by Piper’s wild theory, which sounded like something out of a novel.
Piper’s eyes lit up as she continued, “Every time I run into him, he avoids looking me in the eye, pretending to be busy on his phone. Ha! I know exactly what he’s up to–acting mysterious just to catch my attention.”
She sneered, her face full of disdain.
“He’s so mistaken. I can see right through guys like him. I’m destined to be someone he can only look up to. There’s no way I’d ever consider someone as useless as him!
“Or maybe. Piper mused, “he’s just intimidated by my presence, too overwhelmed by my strong aura to even look me in the eye.”
Rosalie listened to Piper’s self–assured rambling, completely at a loss for words.
“Alright, Piper. If that’s what you think, then let’s leave it at that,” she replied, turning away, no longer interested in discussing these bizarre ideas.
But Piper quickly grabbed her arm, stopping her from leaving.
“Rosalie, just so you know, there’s an update on your last job application, Piper said. “Connor mentioned that the complaints department at the Dunn Group has submitted the findings to the board. You should hear something in the next day or two.
Rosalie grew anxious. “Piper, do you want to see me get fired from the Dunn Group? I haven’t done anything shady–with anyone there, nor have I been part of any unsavory business, like you seem to think
“We went to school together, Piper, and I’ve always looked up to you. I consider you a good friend. Can you please stop escalating this? If any of this reaches someone important in the company, I could lose my job, and you might face trouble too.”
Piper shook her head dismissively. “Rosalie, you’re overthinking it. I’m not trying to get you fired.
know your family’s struggling. Your mom’s in the hospital, and you need this salary, Piper added. “But when such ugliness appears in a major company like the Dunn Group, how could I, as one of their elite white–collar workers, turn a blind eye?”
