Chapter 11: Chapter 11 – Slow and steady
Sabrina and Devin’s packaged food arrived when Martin said, “I guess I arrived late.” He meant that the siblings would soon be leaving. Inching close to Sabrina, he asked fervently, “Can we talk somewhere private?”

The corner of Sabrina’s lips raised but her eyes were emotionless. Politely, she responded, “Mister Dane, I divorced my husband 24 hours ago and in order to not waste your time, I will say it plainly. I am nowhere near ready to enter into any relationship.”

Martin’s eyes dulled and Robin was looking the other way. He knew that Sabrina was finding it hard to get over Robin but never comprehended this part of her ambition. Martin was rather surprised by how she saw through him so easily.

“God, you are so raw. I wanted to talk about business.”

Sabrina shook her head. She could not be fooled. The only time someone fooled her was when she fell in love with Robin. Having his seed growing in her, it was enough to keep her going. She did not want Robin but neither was she interested in Martin or any other man in general. She spoke casually, “Then there isn’t a need to go somewhere private, is there?”

Martin pursed his lips. He always thought Sabrina was shy. She might not remember him but he knew her since high school.

“Okay, I will say it here. Your brother was thinking about bringing your company to the next level and that means partnering with me.”
