Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 2223

Robin sat up, "Come in!"

Diana pushed the door open, a look of surprise on her face. "Weren’t you supposed to be on a date with Sophia? How come you're back?"

Robin offered a faint smile, "Something work-related came up last minute. You're still here?"

"No rush," Diana replied with a gentle smile, pouring a cup of tea for Robin. "It’s been hectic at the office lately. President Hester, you really should spend some quality time with Sophia. Otherwise, she might start having complaints!"

Robin lowered his gaze, a shadow of sadness crossing his face, "I used to think she really loved me. Only now do I realize that's not the case."

Diana's gaze flickered, sitting next to him, her voice even softer, "What happened? Did you guys have a fight?"

It was late at night, and Robin was exhausted, feeling an urge to confide, and the girl in front of him felt like the right person to talk to.

"She’s good friends with the president's wife of the Lamont Group. I wanted her to help introduce our products to the Lamont Group, but she refused, making all sorts of excuses!" Robin shook his head in self-mockery, "Makes me feel like I’m doing something shady!"

Diana, surprised, asked, "Why? It’s such a great opportunity. Why wouldn’t Sophia want to help?"

Robin scoffed, "Probably because she’s afraid it might affect her relationship with Estelle."

A glint of intrigue flashed in Diana's eyes as she sighed softly, "Why can’t Sophia be more understanding? If we could collaborate with the Lamont Group, our company could really take off. You wouldn’t have to work so hard. It hurts me to see you like this every day."

Robin, rubbing his temples in frustration, said sarcastically, "So, her concern for me is just lip service. She doesn’t understand what I truly need."

Diana leaned in closer, her voice comforting, "President Hester, no matter what others do, I'll always stand by you. Though my abilities are limited, I’ll give my all for the company."

Robin turned to look at her, her gentle face stirring something in him, and he nodded slowly, "I know. You left a high-paying job to help me. I’ve always remembered that kindness."

Diana, blushing, replied softly, "I never expected anything in return. I'm doing all this willingly!"

Their eyes met, and the room fell silent, an awkward yet palpable tension hanging in the air.

"Uh," Robin turned to take a big gulp of his drink, "It’s getting late. Let me drive you home."
