Dean knew that Elliot was on his way to Bridgedale, so he had not informed Elliot about it right away.
He waited outside Elliot's office for a while and when Robert did not show up, he called Elliot's assistant.
"Do you have Robert's number? Give it toif you do," Dean said. "I heard that Robert is in the office, but he's nowhere to be
found. | have no clue as to why he is here."
The assistant immediately located Robert's number and sent it to Dean. "Are you sure that he is in the office?"
"The administration manager said so, so | suppose so!" Dean said. "I heard that he is here with his girlfriend, too. | haven't even
heard that he was dating. Do you know about this?"

"No! The last tMr. Foster talked about Robert, he was saying how Robert doesn't know how to handle his personal life. | heard
that sgirl went to Layla to get to Robert and Layla was really mad about it."
"Robert is a gentleman, so it's natural that girls like him. | guess he is in a serious relationship now, or he wouldn't bring her here.
Robert doesn’t likeing here. Mr. Foster tried to get him to work as an intern here before and he ran off to Bridgedale to work
with his older brother."
"Is there a possibility that Robert doesn't want to be recognized today?"
"A lot of people in this office know him. If he is bringing his girlfriend here, | suppose he is trying to show off. If that's the case, we
should back him up," Dean said, before hanging up to look for Robert.
Meanwhile, Robert took Ivy to the canteen to find that it was packed with people.
Since the food in the canteen was much better than the majority of restaurants outside, most of the employees would choose to
dine here even if they were not working overtime.
Robert received a call from Dean and immediately stopped to answer it.
"Robert, | heard that you are in the office. Where are you right now? I've been waiting for you inside the office, but you didn't
worry. If you want to keep this a secret from your parents, | won't tell them a thing."
'Girlfriend?' Robert thought to himself and glanced at Ivy, who was batting her eyes at the canteen. 'She is probably starving.’
"We are in the canteen. We are leaving as soon as we eat," Robert said.
Dean immediately went into the elevator to head to the canteen.

Robert hung up and said to Ivy, "the vice-president knows that we are here."
"Oh... He is still working?" Ivy checked the tand noticed that it was almost seven.
"Probably! He said that he ising over and wants to buy us dinner." Robert scratched his head awkwardly. "You haven't met him
before, right?"
Ivy nodded. "It's fine. | just don't want people in my university to know who | am because that's going to get in the way of my
studies."
"Let's wait for him, then! He should be here shortly."
The two went to an empty table and sat down.
Shortly after, Dean, Elliot's assistant and the administration manager arrived at the canteen.
