The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335 Shattered 

Amber opened her mouth, wanting to explain herself, but ultimately held back. 

Robin chuckled and said, “Who knows, maybe you’re actually onto something”

Shirley smacked Robin lightly. “Why are you thinking that way too? You’re the one who helped Rosalie in the first place. 

“You met her first and spoke to HR on her behalf to get her a spot at the Dunn Group, 

“Then, you helped her get out of that awful mess with those shady online loans. That’s when I started paying attention to her. 

“You even let her temporarily stay at your Graceview Apartments place and helped her kick out that deadbeat dad of hers. 

“If it weren’t for you, how would I even know about all of this?” 

Robin shook his head. “Those are two different things. Meeting Rosalie and helping her out was just a coincidence. 

“Her relatives trying to cozy up to you is something else entirely. 

“Just like Rosalie’s issues with her father have nothing to do with one another. 

“Think about it–when Rosalie and her mother were struggling with poverty and illness, her aunt Dorothy sand Dorothy’s husband left them behind and had no contact. 

“But as soon as they heard Rosalie’s mom was out of the hospital and that Rosalie landed a position in a key department at the Dunn Group, they suddenly decided to reconnect?” 

Shirley was momentarily speechless, giving Robin a frustrated glare. 

Quietly, she reached out her slender fingers and gave his waist a hard pinch. 

“Ouch!” Robin gasped in pain. “So, when you can’t out–argue me, you resort to pinching?” 

Shirley looked at him, exasperated, then remembered how ridiculous he’d looked the night before, when she and Amber had chased him around, hitting and kicking until he was thoroughly disoriented. The memory.made her smile. 

After a brief hesitation, she leaned her head gently against Robin’s back, closing her eyes to savor the warmth radiating from him. 

The golden sunset cast a glow over Shirley’s flawless face, while the evening breeze danced through her graceful, flowing hair, making her look stunningly beautiful. She seemed like a bride basking in the glow of happiness, unwilling to let go of this sweet, intoxicating moment. 

Amber, trailing behind, was taken aback by the sight. Since she had joined the Dunn Group, she’d never seen the icy, untouchable Shirley show such a soft, tender side. 

Suddenly, the blaring of an oblivious car horn shattered Shirley’s dreamy reverie.

She opened her beautiful eyes and found Amber watching her with keen interest. 

Reflexively, Shirley lifted her head from Robin’s back.

In that fleeting moment, she seemed flustered, as though Amber had caught a glimpse of a hidden secret, causing her to shyly lower her gaze. 

But in seconds, Shirley’s practiced composure returned, and she regained her usual sharp, sensible demeanor. 

“Oh, Ms. Jenning,” she said, changing the subject, “Rosalie mentioned, aside from her mother and Dorothy’s family, were there any others?” 

Amber paused and said, “Ms. Dunn, I heard from Rosalie that Dorothy’s husband, Ethan Armstrong even invited a few executives from Oceanus Construction Company to join them for tonight’s dinner.” 

“So, it’s a big group…” Shirley murmured, already uncomfortable with the idea of dining with so many work–related people. 

After a moment of thought, she replied, “It’s fine. If it gets inconvenient, we can leave early. 

“I mostly just want to meet Rosalie’s mother and have a quick chat with her.” 

Just then, a message came in from Rosalie, letting them know that the Business Strategy Department had an unexpected issue to handle, so she’d be running a bit late to the Velvet Hotel. 

After reading the update, Amber asked, “Ms. Dunn, since Rosalie is delayed, should we go in first, or wait for her to arrive?” 

“Let’s go ahead,” Shirley answered without hesitation. “We can just tell them we’re Rosalie’s colleagues; she probably already mentioned it to her mom.” 

Ten minutes later, Robin arrived at the Velvet Hotel with Shirley and Amber. After parking their scooters, the three of them headed toward the second floor, following the room number Rosalie had sent over. 

As they entered the hotel lobby, Robin spotted two familiar faces–Alison and Ashley Dixon. They were with a small group, likely colleagues from Southorn Airlines or Ashley’s friends. What a coincidence they 

were here too. 

Alison and Ashley also noticed them. 

Ashley looked Shirley and Amber over with a critical eye. Despite their striking appearances and figures, their outfits were noticeably plain, even a bit low–end,
