Chapter 245 Marion Club
Robin casually handed the access card to Vera and said, "Here you go."
Vera smiled at his generosity. "You didn't even ask me what I need the villa for; you just handed me the card?"
Stretching lazily, Robin replied, "It's just a villa. If you need it, then go ahead. Why bother asking your reason?
"You could stay there forever if you wanted. What's the big deal?"
Vera paused before bursting into laughter.
Such cheeky remarks were classic Robin.
He talked about a villa worth billions as if it were just a regular house.
He casually said it was hers to borrow, and her heart swelled with joy.
Yet curiosity gnawed at her.
Robin's identity remained shrouded in mystery.
One thing was certain: that Robin was a powerful figure, a hidden titan.
It baffled Vera how Alice insisted he was a nobody, a mere commoner.
Were the Millers and Alice blind to the truth?
How could they fail to see the impressive figure Robin truly was?
In Harmonfield, influential figures from both the underworld and the elite showed Robin the utmost respect.
Shirley and Daphne, two goddess-like women, treated Robin like a master, bowing to his every whim.
They regarded him with the reverence reserved for a king.
Yet there was Alice and those fools from the Millers, parading around proclaiming that they were on a different level from Robin, claiming to be elite members of high society.
They were unaware that their wealth held no value to someone like Robin.
Alice, what gives you the right to look down on Robin?
Haha! It's laughable!
Vera chuckled to herself, finding the thought amusing.
Robin, observing Vera's silly grin. He pouted and said, "It's just a villa. Is it really that exciting?
"You should rest; I'm going home."
Vera was taken aback and asked, "What? You're leaving this late?"
Robin nodded, picking up his jacket.
Vera pouted, "I'm not going to eat you here."
Robin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe not, but who knows? Anyway, get some sleep. Bye!"
Before Vera could respond, he vanished without a trace.
Fuming, Vera stomped her foot. "That j*rk! Does he really not want to be with me?"
Sarah entered the room, raising an eyebrow. "Vera, what's going on with you two?
"You appeared quite intimate just now, as though you were—"
Vera interrupted, hitting Sarah playfully. "Shut it! It's nothing like that. I just asked him to help me with a massage."
"A massage? You nearly strip yourself naked. Who are you fooling?" Sarah teased, pinching Vera's soft thigh.
Vera was too annoyed to care.
The more she explained, the messier it got; it was easier to let Sarah think what she wanted.
"Are you jealous or what?"
Sarah's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Definitely jealous! Just sharing the bed once with a man like Robin would be worth it!"
Vera playfully kicked Sarah's rounded behind. She teased, "You and your flirty attitude! I might have to keep an eye on you.
"Or else, before I know it, Robin might run off with you!"
Sarah laughed, "You better watch out for that! Hahaha!"
"Honestly, Vera, I used to think Robin was just an ordinary guy, but now he feels so mysterious.
"Did you see those impressive soldiers? They actually came to protect him!
"Vera, do you even know what Robin does?
"From the way those soldiers talked, it sounded like the world's top assassins are after him!
"Is Robin some kind of super criminal?"
Vera chuckled and said, "You're overthinking it!
"If he were an international criminal, the Draconia police would have caught him by now. Why would he still be around?
"I need to sleep now; I can't keep chatting nonsense with you."
After Sarah left, Vera toyed with the access card.
Suddenly, she realized that the card would only get her through the gate of the Dawnspire Heights Estates.
Area One required biometric identification.
If her details weren't entered into the system, she wouldn't get past, even with the card in hand.
She quickly picked up her phone and demanded, "Robin, you gave me the access card, but I can only reach the villa's perimeter. I can't actually get inside!"
Robin, just leaving the Silva Tower, replied, "Oh, I completely forgot about that.
"Come to my office tomorrow noon, and I'll help you to key in your info at the villa.
Hearing Robin's answer made Vera smile. She asked, "Aren't you worried I might just move into your villa and never leave?"
"Then don't leave. What's there to worry about?" Robin said indifferently.
"It's a big villa; if you like it, stay."
With that, he hung up.
Vera heard the dial tone and muttered, "That j*rk! Can't he say one more thing?"
