Sophie sighed, “Okay, I’ll give Estelle a ring, though she doesn’t seem too involved in the Lamont Group’s business affairs. Don’t get your hopes up too high.”

Robin was quick to respond, “As long as she can put in a good word for me with Mr. Lamont, I’m certain everything will be sorted.”

Estelle was the president’s wife of the Lamont Group, and surely she had some sway in the company. Moreover, from the way things had gone down with KING, it was clear that Jonathan and the Lamont family held Estelle in high regard. So, whether or not a partnership could happen was practically up to her.

Sophie chuckled, “I’ll give it a shot.”

Robin beamed, “I really appreciate it, Sophie. Once the deal with the Lamont Group is nailed down, I can take it easy for a while and then, I’ll be able to spend some quality time with you.”

“That sounds lovely,” Sophie giggled, “But don’t stress yourself too much. You’re already doing great.”

“I’m not there yet. I’ve got to push harder; I want to be the new big shot in J City. Then I can buy you a mansion and ensure you live a life happier than anyone else’s.”

Sophie felt her heart swell with emotion, “Robin, having you is all I need, honestly. You don’t have to put yourself under so much pressure. I’m content with how things are now.”

“The business world is a battlefield, and if you’re not charging forward, you’re just waiting to get trampled,” Robin’s voice turned grave, but he quickly lightened the mood, “Enough of that. I’ve got a call to take. You get some rest.”
