My Fair Stunner novel Chapter 562

Chapter 562 The Scheming Robert

Robert looked like a completely different person compared to when he talked on the phone just now.

If it weren't that Aniston had been here the whole process, and if someone told her about this, she would think that person was slandering Robert.

Aniston became breathless in the face of Robert's question. She pressed her lips.

Finding that Aniston was silent after hearing his words, Robert's eyelashes trembled. He spoke in a husky voice, "Aniston."

Aniston was still silent.

It seemed like the air in the office had consolidated.

After a long while, Aniston took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Sellers, can you please do me a favor? Of course, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient for you. I..."

Before Aniston could finish the rest words, Robert interrupted her, "It's convenient for me."

Aniston was astonished. She paused and then continued, "I haven't told you what favor I want from you."

Robert pressed his thin lips tightly and said, "Everything is okay."

Aniston called, "Mr..."

Robert interrupted her, "Call me Robert."

Aniston was lost for words.

When Aniston looked up, Robert looked down, and their eyes met. Aniston suddenly realized that the man who was a head taller than her was no longer the little boy in her memory.

Robert didn't evade Aniston's scrutinization.

On the contrary, he accepted it calmly.

After a while, he said in a husky voice, "Aniston, don't be afraid of me. I haven't done any bad things."

Aniston replied in a soft voice, "I understand."

Robert continued, "People may think being the special assistant of the president of a company is a decent job, but indeed, it's a difficult task. If I don't pretend to be experienced and astute, other people would set me up."

With his head lowered, Robert looked into Aniston's eyes and said earnestly.

Aniston was dumbfounded for several seconds. Then she replied, "I understand."

Robert's moved his hands which were placed on both sides. He reached out to tuck at the hem of Aniston's shirt and asked, "Are you still afraid of me?"

His action made Aniston think of their childhood. At that time, he would also tuck at her cloth when he made a mistake and wanted to beg for her forgiveness.

Aniston's heart softened when she recalled the past. She asked, "Why are you still behaving the same, just like when you were a child?"

Robert replied, "It's a habit."

Aniston continued, "Indeed, I don't think you scaring. It's just that I feel..."

She hesitated for a while to select a word. In the end, she said honestly, "It's just that I feel you are unfamiliar."

Robert tightened his grip on Aniston's shirt when he heard the words.
