Chương 40: Chapter 40 – A girl of one-night stands

"I forgot to tell you earlier that I will be traveling for a few days but I will be back to pick you up for the party," he said in a slightly apologetic tone. Zayla could not hide her dismay even if she tried. 

Her presence in Robin's life seemed ineffective because they felt drawn apart. If not, how could he leave the same house they slept together, to tell her on the phone that he was traveling?

"Robin and you are just telling me? I was planning a surprise for you tonight and you ruined it."

"I'm sorry Zayla, but you should know by now that impromptu things like this happen with the nature of my work," he explained.

"So did you just decide right now that you had to go on a business trip?" Zayla asked in a tear-filled voice. 

Robin was not liking this. Sabrina never complained if he informed her a minute before dinner time that he would not be coming home but Zayla? 

Robin was not used to handling cry babies and Zayla felt like a handful.
