The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 201

The Deadly Assassin Robin
Chapter 201 Don't You Wear Pajamas to Bed?
Robin wasn't one for using complicated tactics to solve problems.

He felt it was best to ignore people who lacked any sense of self-awareness, like Piper, instead of dealing with her head-on.

There wasn't a need to waste time on someone like her.

However, Shirley was different.

She had to consider the interests of the Dunn Group.

Dealing with someone as troublesome as Piper required hard evidence.

Robin understood how Shirley intended to handle it, so he didn't say much.

As the handpicked successor of the Dunn Group, trained by Drake himself, Shirley could handle someone like Piper with ease.

Shirley wouldn't even bother getting involved if it weren't for Robin's sake.

After saying that, Shirley found herself with nothing else to add, yet she wasn't in a hurry to leave.

She just wanted to sit quietly beside Robin and watch him for a while.

Robin, who had been focused on his computer screen, sensed the shift in the office atmosphere.

Looking up, he noticed Shirley's eyes gazing at him with a tenderness he hadn't seen before.

"D-do you have something else to say?"

Shirley jolted a little and blushed.

"No, nothing! Um ... About last night ... I don't usually act like that. It was just a one-time thing ... Yeah ... that's all ... " She trailed off, hurriedly got up, and headed for the door.

Last night?

Robin watched Shirley's flustered retreating figure and called out after a moment, "By the way, I wanted to ask you something."

Shirley paused. "What is it? Is it about the evidence on Piper?"

Robin pointed at her chest and said seriously, "Your habit of sleeping without pajamas is actually really healthy. It's great for your body."

"What? Are you kidding me? Stop discussing this topic!" Shirley yelped and turned around. Her face was turning crimson.

Seeing that she wasn't talking, Robin explained, "I browsed it. A lot of studies show that sleeping without pajamas is indeed good for health. I sleep that way too."

"This is ridiculous!" Shirley bolted out of Robin's office flusteredly and bumped into Amber.

Amber noticed Shirley's flushed face and immediately asked, "Ms. Dunn, are you upset about Piper's situation? Calm down; we're handling it."

Shirley was at a loss. "Amber, I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" Amber leaned in and asked after seeing Shirley's mysterious expression

Shirley looked around, then pulled Amber along to her office.

Amber was confused by her actions.

Shirley closed the door once they were inside her office.

"Amber, do you ... "

Shirley stopped and looked toward the door.

Amber was starting to get nervous. "Are you alright, Ms. Dunn?"

"Amber, do you wear pajamas to bed?" Shirley whispered.

"Huh?" Amber froze. She was shocked that Shirley would ask such a thing.

She flushed and responded, "Ms. Dunn, wh-why do you want to know?"

"I was just asking. Look at you, being all nervous! They say sleeping without pajamas is great for the body, right?"

Shirley glanced at Amber, noticing her well-developed bosom.

She must have the same habit as me.

Amber noticed Shirley's gaze and immediately shielded her chest with the reports in her hands. "Ms. Dunn, have you gone mad because of your anger?"

Shirley shook her head after seeing Amber so flustered. "Well, enough of these topics. Go on with your work."

As Amber left, Shirley opened her laptop, typed "benefits of sleeping without pajamas" into the search bar, and began reading.

Outside, Amber also searched for the same topic on her phone.

Numerous studies indeed suggest that sleeping without pajamas improves health and sleep quality.

I'll try it too starting tonight.

Amber thought with a smile.

...

Meanwhile, Rosalie arrived at Piper's office as Shirley instructed.

At that moment, Piper was intently reading various comments on the company's internal network on her computer. The people were all accusing and criticizing Robin.

Some even called for a company investigation or a police report.

Alone in the office, Piper looked up at Rosalie, who had come at this unusual time.

"I have prepared for years to live the life I deserve. I am the master of my destiny.

"The heavens don't decide your fate. I will succeed! I'll use Robin's foolishness to get everything I want!"

Rosalie could only shake her head in disappointment.

At first, she felt a little guilty when Shirley sent her to record this conversation.

But hearing Piper's vile words now, she knew she had to do it for Robin.

He had helped her so many times, yet Piper had used such despicable means to harm him. It was infuriating.

Rosalie scoffed. "Piper, out of respect for our past friendship, I felt a shred of sympathy for you previously, but not anymore now.

"You won't get away with this. Justice won't allow it!"

As Rosalie stormed out, slamming the door behind her, the marketing director entered Piper's office, looking concerned.

Seeing Piper's expression, she asked, "Are you okay?"

Piper put on a pitiful face. "Yeah, I'm fine."

The marketing director patted her shoulder in reassurance. "It'll be alright. Be strong—sometimes, the workplace has its share of bad apples.

"Ms. Dunn is waiting for you in her office. She's a fair and good-hearted CEO. I'm sure she'll make things right."

"Ms. Dunn?" Piper froze.

"Yes, this issue has reached her attention. Go to her office—she's waiting for you."

Piper hesitated for a moment.

Things had been tense because of Rosalie the last time she'd been in Shirley's office.

Shirley had given her a stern warning, and she had left unhappy.

This time, she was determined to claim her rights in the company.

Piper entered Shirley's office, only to find both Rosalie and Robin there as well.

As she passed Robin, she whispered, "Robin, do you feel my revenge yet? I warned you before—don't cross me."

Robin ignored her and continued scrolling his phone while sitting on the sofa.

Shirley raised an eyebrow slightly. "Piper, do you know why I called you here?"

Piper began to cry. "Ms. Dunn, please stand up for me! I was left with no choice but to post those photos of Robin harassing me on the company's network yesterday. He threatened me this morning, and I feared he'd retaliate, so I acted impulsively."
