Chapter 71: Instinct
On our way back, Robbie had a constant smile on his face. I narrowed my eyes and asked,
"What's with all the smiles?"
Robbie gave me a quick cheeky glance and said with a chuckle, "I told you my mum is awesome!"
I couldn't deny it. She really is an amazing woman. I smiled, rubbing my nose, "She is. She holds no prejudice against omegas like most Alphas do and is so kind and graceful."
"Of course, she is!" Robbie exclaimed proudly.
"Can we meet her again?" I asked, looking at Robbie with puppy dog eyes.
"Mum already gained two fans on her very first meet," he said, rolling his eyes, "Well, she is usually very busy with her designs and business and has to go out of the country often too. Don't worry, we will find time to meet her. I am sure she will like it too."
I leaned back on my seat, feeling very full and warm for the first time in forever. The rest of the journey went quietly till we reached my quarter. Twen had already fallen asleep in the back seat after getting tired of playing mobile games. I was feeling stiff and sleepy too. Robbie took Twen in his arms and locked the car door.
We reached the quarter, where Robbie put Twen in his bed while I got refreshed and changed into my pyjamas. I came out of my room to see Robbie putting on his overcoat.
Are you leaving already?" I asked, seeing him check his pocket.
"Yeah. I am leaving tomorrow morning," he replied, taking out his cell phone and quickly looking through something, "The meeting's on Monday!"
"I see," I said, feeling slightly disappointed.
Disappointed?
"Robbie has really made me used to his company. I shook my head and looked at his eyes move through the content on his cellphone,
"Hope you have a successful merger!"
Robbie stopped looking and put the cell phone back in the coat pocket and said in a little disturbed voice, "To tell you the truth, I don't want to go. I am having this weird unexplainable feeling that I should stay here."
I blinked, looking at his solemn expression, and laughed, "You are just nervous. Don't worry, dummy! You'll do great! Have confidence."
"I am confident. Though dad refused to let Roger come along, my assistant, Jane, is just as capable as Roger. So, it'll be fine," Robbie explained, then looked at me very seriously.
He put his hand on both sides of my face and said firmly, "Tony, how about you do not go anywhere for the next few days. Take a leave. I will approve it!"
"Don't be silly. I'll be fine. What can possibly happen in just a few days?" I said, dismissing his anxiousness.
"I wish there was a bodyguard or someone to look after both of you. I would have felt at ease. What if dad-" he spoke with some agitation.
"Calm down and focus on your deal. I will take care of myself and Twen, like I always have," I said, smoothening the deep frown on his brow.
"Tony, promise me," he said, looking deep into my eyes, "Promise me that if anything happens, anything at all, you will inform me. If I don't pick up the call, text me. Don't keep it to yourself, okay?"
I nodded, saying, "I promise."
The disagreements and the stress of the last few days have made Robbie very paranoid. He is getting so stressed over not seeing Twen and me for a few days. He is starting to overreact to trivial situations. Yet the seriousness with which Robbie spoke made me feel anxious too.
Who would have thought that Robbie's instinct would be spot on!
