Chapter 221
Irene asked, “Are you alright?”
Robin could tell what she was referring to, and bitterly said, “I haven’t been with him for that long, but
we used to be happy. He would always watch my theater shows and treat me to gourmet food. We hold
hands when we go shopping, and I’d lean on his shoulder at the cinema…”
The memories left her eyes welling with tears.
“I mean, I know that we don’t suit each other–he’s a child of the Jefferson family, while I’m just some
unknown thespian. I know we wouldn’t go all the way, but… It’s just so sudden! I can’t take it, even if I
knew this was inevitable.”
Irene listened attentively, and asked gingerly, “But why would he suddenly break up with you? Maybe
he met someone else? You know how changeable men can be.”
Robin thought about it. “I don’t think so… He’s actually been quite busy lately.”
“What with?” Irene tried to sound casual.
“I’m not sure…”
Still, Robin suddenly realized that Irene was asking about lan, and quickly became wary. “Why’d you
ask?”
Irene made herself look pensive just then. “No reason in particular… I just feel a little empathetic
toward you, since I’ve been dumped like that too. I guess I’m eager to find out if your boyfriend was a
scumbag like my ex.”
Just knowing the fact that Irene had been dumped allowed Robin to see her as a kindred spirit just
then, bridging the gap between them–even losing all wariness just then.
“How long did it take you to recover?” she asked.
“Oh, you won’t feel a thing soon enough… with the help of a little alcohol along the way,” Irene simply
said.
It felt like an epiphany for Robin. “Yes, time heals everything…”
“But I think I heard something about another woman, I think? Don’t you think that he’s actually just
cheating?” Irene asked, once again directing their focus on lan.
She came here for information in the first place anyway.
Now that Robin had calmed down, she remembered that she did hear lan say that over the phone. “No,
but I guess I must find out.”
“Would you like my help?” Irene asked.
Robin stared at her for a moment. “We’re not that close…”
“We can be friends if you don’t mind. But if you feel-”
“Of course!” Robin exclaimed, cutting her short.
Right now, she needed a pillar of guidance, especially from someone like Irene who had experienced
breakups
“By the way, what’s your name?” Robin asked.
“I’m Irene Spencer.”
“Nice to meet you. I’m Robin Lynd. Hold on for a moment, I’ll apply for leave,” Robin said, eager to find
out
why lan wanted to break up with her right then.
“Okay,” Irene replied.
Soon, Robin had settled matters with her office, and they both took a taxi to go look for lan.
They headed to lan’s home, but he was not around.
Robin narrowed her eyes. “Maybe he’s there?”
“Where?” Irene asked right then.
“There’s this underground casino he’s managing. Not many people know about it, and he’s only taken
me
there twice,” Robin said.
Irene’s eyes widened–lan had a casino?
“Do you know where it is?” she asked.
Robin nodded.
“Yeah,” she said, and told the driver, “Southport, please.” Irene was even more shocked at that. “It’s at
the port?“
