The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 195

Chapter 195 Violet Private Club

As soon as Robin arrived at his office, he got a call from Leonardo.

Apparently, Leonardo was planning to come to Harmonfield this weekend to personally apologize for Ivy's offenses toward Robin. Robin didn't object.

He didn't feel the need to offer any opinion on the Dickers' attempt to make amends.

In his world, there was no such thing as forgiveness without consequences.

Mistakes require payment.

After playing a quick round of games, Robin's phone started buzzing cheerfully again. It was Vera calling.

Seeing her bright, smiling face in the WhatsApp profile photo made his headache worse. She's probably calling about the shoes. This woman never seems to let things go.

He slipped on his headset, deciding to ignore the call.

But Vera was relentless, redialing over and over again.

Her WhatsApp profile picture kept flashing on his screen, smiling at him with that goofy look.

From the looks of it, she wouldn't stop until he picked up.

Robin narrowed his eyes at her photo, muttering, "Vera, you're a menace! A total menace. Ha! Absolute troublemaker, through and through..."

This was oddly satisfying.

Muttering to himself made him feel surprisingly better.

Finally, he gave in and tapped to answer the video call, curious to see her reaction after his little private venting session.

"Did you just sneeze?"

Before she could say anything, Robin immediately asked.

"Maybe he really does care about me," she thought, grinning to herself.

Quickly pulling out a tissue, she pretended to sniffle, putting on a slightly pitiful expression. "Yeah, a little ..."

Robin studied her through the video, murmuring to himself. "Huh... maybe there's something to it. They say if someone's talking about you, you'll sneeze or feel your ears burn ..." He leaned closer to the screen, saying, "Hold on-let me check. Are your ears red?"

"What?" Vera blinked, surprised. "You want to see my ears?"

Does he have a thing for ears and necks? What is he even thinking?

Her heart began to race, and a warm blush spread across her cheeks.

Robin tilted his head, squinting at her through the camera. Sure enough, her ears looked red, and he chuckled, muttering to himself, "Well, what do you know? Guess it really does work." "Uh... what are you mumbling about?" Vera asked, bewildered.

Without thinking, Robin answered, "Oh, I was just testing something. I cursed you a bit earlier to see if you'd start sneezing or if your ears would get hot."

Vera froze, realizing what he'd said.
