Robin smirked. “Daphne is in my service, so naturally, she and her team should treat me with respect.” 

Vera laughed out loud at Robin’s serious tone. 

“Robin, you lie so well–were you an acting major back in college? Haha!” 

Robin shook his head in exasperation. I don’t understand. Why is it that whenever I’m honest, you women never seem to believe me? 

“What’s wrong with this world? Do I really have to be full of lies for you to think I’m telling the truth?” 

Vera pointed at Robin’s innocent–looking face, laughing so hard she was almost in tears. 

“Is it really that funny? Don’t laugh too hard or you’ll pass out!” Robin muttered, shaking his head. 

“Fine, don’t believe me if you don’t want to! I’m hungry anyway. Let’s grab some breakfast across from that steakhouse up ahead.” 

Vera managed to calm herself, wiping her tears of laughter. “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. 

“Oh, by the way, did you hear? Alice’s grandfather is coming back in a few days.” 

Robin glanced at her, unconcerned. “So? What’s that got to do with me?” 

“You really don’t want to see him, huh?” Vera asked, testing his reaction. 

“Not at all,” Robin replied with a dismissive snort. 

Vera watched him for a long moment, then let out a knowing chuckle. 

Robin glanced down the road and saw a long line forming in front of a small street stall across from the steakhouse, where people were buying doughnuts and pancakes. 

“It’s been ages since I’ve had doughnuts,” Robin said, visibly excited 

He’d noticed the stall the night before and had been looking forward to it. 

“Are you going to eat that stuff?” Vera wrinkled her nose. “I wouldn’t touch it. It’s junk food 

Lin said m 

“Fine, have it your way. More for me!” parking the car in the park. 

He jumped out and strode across the street, eager to get his hands on some breakfast, 

The place was bustling. 

It was already 8:30 AM, but there was still a long line of people waiting for a hot breakfast. 

Most of the customers were office workers and people from the surrounding area, all waiting patiently to get a taste of the famous doughnuts and pancakes from this popular stall. 

Robin eavesdropped on the conversations of the people ahead of him.

They were full of enthusiastic praise for the stall’s doughnuts, describing them as both large and delicious. 

It was no surprise that the stall was so popular. 

Judging by the length of the line, it looked like it would take another ten minutes or so before it was his 

turn. 

But the thought of biting into that crispy doughnut and hot hash browns made the wait worth it. 

Meanwhile, Vera sat in the car, watching Robin stand in line with a bemused smile. 

Was all this trouble really worth it, just for some doughnuts, pancakes, and hash browns? 

Especially on such a cold morning? 

He lived in the most luxurious mansion in Harmonfield, yet here he was, willing to wait in a long line for a breakfast that cost a few dollars. 

This 

is guy was something else. 

Was this doughnut really that good? 

As she thought about it, a memory surfaced. 

It had been years since she’d tasted a doughnut, its crispy exterior giving way to a soft, fragrant interior. 

The last time she’d had one was with her mother, years ago. 

Suddenly, the memory of that flavor, so strongly associated with her mother, awakened a deep craving within her. 

A little nostalgic, she sent Robin a text, asking him to bring an extra order back for her. 

Robin continued to wait in line for nearly 15 minutes, and soon he was close to the front.. 

Only five people were left. 

Just as he was picturing the taste of the doughnut, a commotion broke out. 

A large, stocky man suddenly cut into the line, shoving past people to push himself in front of Robin. He grabbed a young woman in a plaid skirt and started groping her. 

“What are you doing? Let go of me!” the girl yelled, struggling as the contents of her bag spilled onto the ground. 

At first, Robin thought they might be a couple, but the girl’s cry made it clear. 

They didn’t know each other at all. 

And yet, there he was, harassing her right out in the open as it were the most normal thing in the world 

Robin noticed the papers scattered on the ground. 

It was the job application documents for the Dunns Group and the girl’s personal resume.
