Chapter 194 The Slip On Sandals In the car .

Robin noticed that Vera was barefoot .

41 % 2 +5 Free Coins Vera , seriously ? Youre the CEO of Silva Group , and youre going to work barefoot ? Where are your shoes ? She glared at him .

Youre really asking where my shoes went ? Last night , you threw both of them into the lake ! Or did you conveniently forget that part ? I threw your shoes into the lake ? I … dont remember that at all .

Robins voice trailed off as he realized he mightve just confessed .

Dont you play dumb with me ! When we get to town , youre buying me a new pair of shoes ! Those shoes cost me 80,000 dollars , do you have any idea how heartbroken I am ? Robin rolled his eyes .

Im not buying you shoes .

And anyway , its early ; no stores are open yet .

Just have your assistant order a pair for you later .

Vera huffed .

Every time we go up to that mansion of yours on Dawnspire Heights Estates , you find some excuse to get rid of my shoes ! The last time , I had to walk out of there in socks , and Piper laughed at me for a week ! And this time , I dont even have flip flops ! Robin , I swear , if you do this again … Robin raised an eyebrow .

Oh yeah ? And what are you going to do about it ? She hesitated , then said with a defiant smile , Tll just camp out in your precious mansion and never leave ! They bickered the whole ve .

Just as they were about to reach the Silva Group building .

Robin spotted : small shoe store open on the side of the road ..

Fine , fine , stop complaining .

Theres a shoe shop over there .

Ill get you a pair .

He paused .

Whats your size again ? Size 6 ! Vera covered her mouth to hide a grin , feeling oddly thrilled .

Finally , hes buying something for me ! Robin went over to the shop and , without much thought , picked out a pair of slip on sandals for ten dollars .

Vera watched him from the car , feeling a warm glow inside .

She imagined the nice , stylish shoes Robin might bring back for her .

Maybe today will actually be a good day , she thought with a smile .

After paying , Robin noticed the shoes werent even bagged .

Hey , dont you have a box or something for these ? 1/5 18:35 Sat , Nov 23 GB Chapter 194 The Slip On Sandals The shopkeeper gave him a look .

A box ? For a ten dollar pair of sandals ? 출석 41 % +5 Free Coins Robin looked down at the sandals .

Fair enough .

The bar would probably be worth more than the shoes themselves .

Well … how about a plastic bag , at least ? The shopkeeper sighed , rummaging around under the counter before producing a crumpled , slightly dirty plastic bag .

Robin raised an eyebrow .

This is the best youve got ? Sir , the shopkeeper replied with a sigh , business is tough these days .

Margins are tight .

Robin rolled his eyes .

Fine , whatever .

He slipped the sandals into the plastic bag and walked back to the car .

Vera waited , her excitement growing .

He probably picked out something fashionable , she thought to herself , imagining him bringing back a pair of elegant heels .

But when she saw the crumpled plastic bag he was carrying , her face fell .

Youve got to be kidding me ! Robin , these are the shoes you bought ? Robin nodded , handing her the bag .

Yep , size 6.

The shopkeeper said they were the finest pair they had .

How much did you pay for these ? she asked , her voice rising .

Ten dollars , Robin replied as he got back in the car .

Vera nearly lost it .

You expect me to wear ten dollar shoes to the office ? Where I meet with people who manage billion dollar portfolios ? Then dont wear them .

Robin shrugged .

This was the most expensive pair they had .

The guy even tried .

to sell me a two dollar pair , but I didnt go that cheap .

Vera shook her head in disbelief .

I cant believe this .

I threw out my 80,000 dollars shoes only to end up with ten dollar slip on sandals .

She opened the bag and looked at the shoes green plastic with tacky little bows and gaudy floral patterns around the edges .

Gosh .

Ill look like a total fool if I wear these ! she muttered .

Robin sighed .

Just wear them for now .

Better than going barefoot .

You can buy a new pair at the mall across from your office .

I think they probably open at nine .

Great , just great , Vera grumbled .

Thanks to you , todays going to be a long day of getting laughed at When they reached the entrance to Silva Group , Vera stepped out of the car in her bright green slip on sandals .

2/5 18:35 Sat , Nov 23 BB Chapter 194 The Slip On Sandals The receptionists and security guards at the entrance immediately noticed her unusual footwear .

She could feel eyes following her as she walked through the lobby .

Hey , check out Ms.

Silvas shoes today .

Bold choice ! Is it the trending wear ? Yeah , I think thats the new trend bringing back that classic , old school style … 412 +5 Free Com Vera held back a laugh .

They actually think these ten dollar shoes are some kind of high fashion … Sarah rushed over as Vera entered the office .

Ms.

Silval Vera waved a hand dismissively .

Stop calling me that .

Sarah glanced down at her shoes , trying not to laugh .

Vera , those shoes are … um , quite the statement .

She then laughed .

Oh , shut it .

For your information , Robin got me these Vera said , rolling her eyes .

Sarahs eyes widened .

Robin gave you those ? Thats … bold of him .

Vera gritted her teeth .

Enough about the shoes ! In fact , send out a memo anyone caught talking about my shoes today loses 2,000 dollars from their paycheck ! She hurried to her office , feeling both embarrassed and oddly satisfied .

Robin , you jerk , just wait ! Ill get you back for this , she thought .

But as she closed her office door , she couldnt help but smile .

At least he bought me something ….

Those kids , she thought to herself , thinking theyll get anything from Robin Ramsey .

Hes not exactly known for his generosity .

She chuckled , remembering the ten dollar pair of shoes hed bought her .

Well , she mused , at least he got me a little something She barely had a moment to settle in before her phone rang .

It was Raymond .

Vera , Id love to take you out to lunch today .

Lunch ? Why ? Vera asked , surprised .

Raymond hesitated .

I was hoping you could help me get in touch with Robin .

Im really grateful for the opportunity he gave me after the incident at the Harmont Bar Ive tried , but I cant seem to approach him .

Vera , I know you two are close .

Would you be willing to put in a good word for me ? 3/5 18:35 Sat , Nov 23 Chapter 194 The Slip On Sandals 241 % a -5 Five Colna Exactly .

Im hosting a small gathering with some top people in Harmonfield , and everyones been talking about Robin .

If you could just … help me connect with him , Id be grateful .

Vera sighed .

I cant guarantee hell agree , Raymond .

But send me the details , and Ill see what I can do .

Ill do my best to bring it up .

Send me the details of your gathering , and Ill gauge his interest .

Raymonds voice was thick with gratitude .

Vera , thank you so much .

I really owe you one .

Forget about it , she said , cutting him off .

You know I dont need the formalities .

And I know youre hoping to get in Robins good graces .

She paused , her tone turning serious .

But let me tell you something Robins not like those other upper- class guys .

If you want to get close to him , sincerity is key .

No games .

Dont worry , Raymond assured her .

I wouldnt dream of it .

I genuinely want to get to know him .

He helped me out before , and I want to return the favor .

Robin took Veras car to East City Development Group During the road , he sneezed repeatedly .

He frowned , muttering to himself , Whos talking bad about me ? Then he smirked , Its probably Vera cursing me out .

Vera , dmn you ! As he continued walking , he kept muttering under his breath , half cursing Vera back ..

Hed just entered the lobby when he ran into Piper .

Robin , why didnt you come back to Graceview Apartments last night ? she asked .

Robin frowned .

Where I stay is none of your business Of course , its my business ! Piper purred , leaning in with an exaggerated pout .

I already forgave you , so why are you still avoiding me ? She huffed and continued , I even warned Rosalie to move out of your place last night ! You should just move back in , Robin .

Then we could go to work together , leave work together … wouldnt that be nice ? Robin just stared at her , clearly unimpressed .

Youre delusional At that moment , Shirley stepped into the elevator .

She glanced between Robin and Piper , quickly assessing the tension between them .

Once the doors closed , an awkward silence filled the space .

Finally .

Piper couldnt hold back any longer .

Ms.

Dunn , theres something I need to report .

5175 18:35 Sat , Nov 23 BB .

Chapter 194 The Slip On Sandals Shirley turned to her , expression calm but curious .

Go ahead .

회식 41 % +5 Free Coins Do you still remember the Graceview Apartments you gave to Robin ? He just let Rosalie move in ! Piper huffed .

Shirley raised an eyebrow .

So ? Piper blinked , clearly caught off guard .

Ms.

Dunn , arent you … bothered by that ? Shirleys brow creased slightly .

Why would I be ? Anything I give to Mr.

Ramsey is his to do with as he pleases ; thats his choice .

She tilted her head slightly , her voice cool and measured .

If he decided to let Rosalie stay there, Im sure he has his reasons .

What exactly are you trying to imply .

Piper ? Caught off guard by Shirleys response , Piper stammered , I I just thought … well , doesnt it seem inappropriate ? What if Rosalie gets the wrong idea ? Shirleys expression turned frosty .

Piper , this is Robins personal business .

Neither you nor I have any right to interfere .

Are you trying to sow discord between Robin and me ? Or are you just attempting slander him ? Seeing Pipers stunned expression , Shirley continued .

I warned you before to focus on your work and avoid spreading gossip around the office .

I dont tolerate that sort of behavior here .

If you dont shape up , youre going to find yourself out of chances .

The elevator doors opened on Pipers floor , and Shirley gave her a pointed look .

This is your stop .

Please step out .

Piper hesitated , clearly wanting to protest , but Shirleys expression left no room for argument .

Reluctantly , she exited the elevator , visibly flustered .

As the doors closed , Shirley turned to Robin with a sigh .

Looks like Piper has a bit of a grudge against you , Ive heard about the situation with Rosalie , too .

If she needs assistance , let me know .

The company has a relief fund that could help .

Robin nodded .

Alright .

Ill pass that along to Rosalie .

Shirley gave him a warm smile , leaning a little closer .

So … tomorrow after work , how about coming over to my place ? Ill cook for us .
