Chapter 562 The Scheming Robert

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.

The atmosphere became awkward again.

When Aniston was trying to find a topic to erase the awkwardness, there came some knocks on the door. The next moment, the door was pushed open. When Colin walked into the office and saw the two who were very close to each other, he raised his brows and said with a meaningful smile, "Shall I leave?" Aniston blushed and stepped back to keep a distance from Robert.

She greeted Colin politely, "Mr. Farrell."

Colin curled up his thin lips, glanced over Robert's hand which was still gripping Aniston's shirt, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any problem?" Aniston nodded and took this chance to roughly tell them what she wanted Robert to do.

Hearing her words, Colin looked at Robert teasingly and said, "It's not a big trouble. You'll do her this favor, right?"

Robert rubbed his fingers with which he touched Aniston's cloth just now and answered, "Of course."

Aniston thanked him with a smile, "Thank you."

Robert asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Aniston replied, "I need to shoot an advertisement this afternoon. Can you send me there?"

Fearing Robert might not get her point, she added, "It's mainly a show for those reporters?"

Robert agreed with a nod, "Okay."

Aniston felt it inappropriate for her to stay as what she wanted to be had been done. She bid farewell to Robert and Colin and then left.

Shortly after that, Colin strode to Robert and sneered, "What happened? Why are you so cowardly?"

Robert didn't hide it from Colin. He said with a frown, "Oh, you find it."

Colin teased, "Do you mean that I find you're not a pure-minded man, but a scheming one?"

Robert didn't reply to it.

After a while, he explained, "She doesn't like scheming people."

Colin said, "Faye didn't like people who look flirtatious either."

A hint of light flashed across Robert's eyes when he heard the words. He retorted, "I'm more innocent compared to you."

Colin clicked his tongue and said, "I'm enlightening you, but you depreciate me instead, huh?"

Robert replied, "I've received the notice of deducting my year-end bonus from the finance department.

Colin's smile widened as he asked, "Do you feel happy?"

Robert replied, "Very happy."

Colin reached out and patted on Robert's shoulder, saying, "Getting a girlfriend should somehow cost a price."

Robert looked up and said, "Brandon let his man contact me in private as he wanted to bribe me. The remuneration he offered is more than twice higher than what I get from the Farrell Media."
