Shirley placed the large fish head into Robins bowl .

And Amber , this chicken leg is for you .

After the meal , Amber decided to stay at the villa while Robin drove back to Graceview Apartments .

As he pulled up to the entrance of the complex , it was already past .

Just before entering , Robin noticed a group of rough looking men surrounding Rosalie , pulling at her .

He parked the car to the side , observing the scene from a distance .

Rosalie was arguing with the men .

As he watched them laugh and touch her inappropriately , Robin stepped out of the car .

The men pushed Rosalie against a wall , and her loud protests quickly turned to tears .

As Robin approached , he could overhear fragments of a heated discussion among a group of rough looking men , which seemed to center around unpaid debts .

Now closer , Robin called out calmly , Whats going on here , Rosalie ? The men froze , startled by his sudden appearance .

One of them pointed at Robin and sneered , Hey , kid , mind your own business ! Or youll regret it ! Ignoring the threat , Robin turned to Rosalie , who looked like she was about to collapse .

What happened ? Rosalie hadnt wanted him to see her in such a vulnerable state , but there was no way to hide it now .

With her head bowed , she sobbed .

Robin , I … I borrowed money from a loan shark .

The due date isnt even here yet , and theyre already demanding payment ! Why would you resort to a loan shark ? Robin asked , his gaze intense as he scrutinized her .
