Chapter 40 To Ask Ms Shaw to Pick You Up
The dream suddenly stopped as it was about to end, and Robert awoke hastily.
Lily’s face gradually faded into nothingness before his face.

He exhaled and slowly sat up without knowing the reason why he had such a dream. It was not like they weren’t on total abstinence; after all, they had already slept with each other twice for the past two days.
Thus, he was really confused as to why he still had suggestive dreams like that.
Robert rose to his full height to distract himself from the dream that he had. After a while, he picked up his laptop and moved to the couch in the living room.
Just as he placed his phone down on the table, it rang.
He briefly glanced at it but did not answer the call.
The ringing stopped for a few seconds, and then, a knock on the door ensued.
Surprised, he walked over to the door.
Although the visitor’s figure could not be seen through the peephole, there was nothing to be afraid of in broad daylight.
So, he opened the door.
Standing outside was the woman from earlier, but she had somehow already changed into another outfit; she now wore a bikini set that was perfect for lounging on the beach.
The woman had great skin and an admirable figure. Her hair was let loose and fell behind her shoulders. She leaned against the door frame with her pose accentuating her body curve.
Looking at Robert, she asked, “Mr. Taylor, let’s discuss a little more, shall we?” She spoke slowly with at suggestive tone.
Robert immediately understood her meaning. However, he only studied her from head to toe. In his mind, he tried to recall her name. He was always good at recognizing faces, but oddly, he could never remember that particular woman.
Standing still, he asked, “Did Mr. Morris tell you to come here in an attire like this?”
The woman’s posture slowly straightened, with the corner of her lips slightly curved. “No, Mr. Morris doesn’t know anything about this.” Her eyes were playful. “He also won’t hear about this.”
He scoffed. “Does he know about the drugging, then?”
The woman was startled; she hadn’t expected him to question her about that again.
Her lips pursed as she struggled to search for the words to answer him. “I really don’t know what you’re talking about. We didn’t spike it with drugs.”
Robert responded half–heartedly and closed the door without a look at her. He never liked people who endlessly pestered him as well as those who never owned up to their mistakes–yet the woman did both.
Never one who fancied speaking much, he picked up his phone from the living room and quickly called

Mr. Morris.
The collaboration between their companies was a win–win situation for both of them.
Taylor Company was naturally happy to participate, but that didn’t mean Robert was willing to be used in such a way.
Mr. Morris picked up the call in an instant while his voice carried a tint of delight. “Mr. Taylor! I’m finally hearing from you.”
He had indeed called Robert a few times since the night before, but the latter hadn’t answered the call- not even a single time,
Robert had a bad temper, everyone in the industry knew that. So, he was straight to the point. “Remove the woman at my door.”
Mr. Morris initially didn’t know what he meant. “What?”
Robert laughed coldly. “I think you’ve miscalculated when you decided to pull something like this.”
Mr. Morris was still confused. “Huh?”
Robert did not feel the need to explain and hung up. He was a man of few words and had always preferred to use as few words as possible.
Normally, it would have been enough to express his dissatisfaction.
Everything that subsequently ensued was understood and settled without any further explanation.
He returned to the table and continued to peruse the documents on his computer.
It wasn’t long before Samson called again.
Robert did not answer the first time around, and his phone immediately rang for the second time, which made him a little frustrated; after all, he was being relentlessly bothered on his well–deserved break.
Somewhat annoyed, he answered the call, “Spill.”
At the other end of the line, loud music was playing in Samson’s background, making it a little noisy.
So, he hadn’t realized that Robert was irritated and said that they were still at Horizon Haven.
Then, he mentioned that Lily was exceptionally happy and took many photos by the two boulders before commenting that it was a pity that Robert couldn’t join them.
Robert’s tone was hostile upon interrupting him. “Did you call me just to tell me all this?”
Samson paused, then changed the topic in an instant.
“No, no. I called to inform you that Old Mrs. Taylor had phoned, asking about our schedule. She wants to know when we’re going back and seems to want Ms. Shaw to pick you up.”
Robert closed his eyes in response,
“Alright, I got it. If she calls you again, tell her our schedule has changed and I didn’t inform you. Just put
all the blame on me.”
