Sammy, where are you? I’ve been calling forever! I still can’t believe it! Someone was bullying me!” The BMW girl, stepping out from the parking lot, finally got through on her phone. Her voice trembled with frustration and a hint of tears.
On the other end, a man’s cold voice responded, “Emma, wait a minute. I’ll be at the Harmont Bar soon. I’ll make whoever messed with my girl kneel and beg for your forgiveness.”
“Sammy, I miss you,” Emma replied, hanging up, her eyes flashing with fierce anger.
Hmph! That guy dared to fight me for a parking spot. Let’s see him try that when my boyfriend shows up!
Robin stepped out of the parking lot, spotting Vera and her friends, three girls and one guy, waiting outside the bar.
Before Vera could even introduce him, one of the girls, Sarah, sized him up with a bold gaze and inquired, “So, are you Vera’s boyfriend?”
Robin’s mouth twitched. “Um…yeah, that’s right.”
Vera couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. This guy acts so tough, but he can be pretty considerate when it
counts.
Unfortunately, her joy was short–lived. In less than ten seconds, Robin clarified, “Well, technically, I’m her ‘male friend“, not her boyfriend, as in a couple. She just asked me to come along to make herself look good.”
The three girls burst out laughing, covering their mouths. “Vera, your male friend is hilarious!” they teased.
Robin! You’re a j*rk! An as*h*le!
Vera’s face turned red and then pale. She shot him a glare before quickly adding, “He really isn’t my boyfriend. I was just joking around. He’s got a bit of an odd personality. Just ignore him.”
The four friends couldn’t hold back their laughter at Vera’s uneasiness.
Sarah looped her arm through Vera’s, giggling. “Vera, I just told Emily he couldn’t possibly be your boyfriend, but she insisted he was! Looks like I was right, Hahaha!”
Grace and Daniel shook their heads, laughing. “Vera, is he just a random–guy you picked to fool us? Turns out he’s not real, huh?”
Grace then leaned in, sneaking a glance at Robin’s back whispering, “Where did you even meet him? Is he from some prestigious family?”
Knowing Robin didn’t like people prying into his business, Vera quickly shrugged it off. “Oh, I just met him at Four Seas Entertainment World this afternoon.
Then she switched the topic, “Okay, no more jokes! Every time I see you all, it’s the same routine for you guys to laugh at mel

She crossed her arms with a huff. “Fine, this time I’m making a bet. I’ll bring a real, handsome boyfriend. for you all to see within two months!”
“Sure, but no more male friends‘ next time! They laughed, heading inside the bar, chatting and joking as they went.
Once they were seated, Vera finally introduced Robin to everyone.
“They are my college roommates, Grace, Emily, and Sarah,” she said, pointing to each one.
She gestured toward the guy, “And this good–looking guy is Daniel, Grace’s boyfriend. He’s the sales director at Haven Realty.”
Daniel gave a nod, grinning. “Hey, Buddy, why don’t you join us for a board game?”
“You guys go ahead; don’t mind me.” Robin, uninterested in mingling, nodded politely but then picked up his phone, scrolling through short videos.
Vera, who was familiar with Robin’s temper, didn’t force him. She ordered some snacks and drinks for him and then joined her friends, diving into lively chatter and games.
While Robin sipped his drink and casually scrolled through videos, he received a message from Daphne.
She told him that the Rivers family had sent people into Draconia.
It was likely due to the recent removal of the Soul–Eating Charm, which their family’s priest might have sensed.
Robin responded immediately. He typed. Two of the Rivers family’s assassins were already dead.”
Daphne was shocked.
Only Robin would have the audacity to take on assassins from the Rivers family directly!
Robin then let her know he’d meet her tomorrow at noon for another acupuncture treatment, telling her to meet him at the Dunn Group.
At the same time, Vera and her four friends were caught up in an animated conversation.
“Vera, I heard that Eric, the second son of the Vice President at the Universal Group, has been trying to win you over,” Grace asked, intrigued.
“He’s been stated at all events that he’s determined to marry you and bring you into the Hamiltons. How’s that going?”
Vera–waved her hand dismissively. “Don’t bring him up I don’t have any feelings for the Hamiltons’s second son. I’d rather stay single forever than date someone like him.”
Sarah smirked, “Vera, don’t be so ungrateful.”
