"Yes, that’s fine. It's no big deal since it doesn't violate any issues of privacy. You’re just watching the CCTV recording of your desk, so there’s nothing wrong with that," one security guard said very politely, while the other nodded fervently in agreement.Just like that, they managed to obtain the video recording. Sabrina rewinded the video to the hour she had spent in Human Resources. She found her suspect just ten minutes into the video.It must have been only about fifteen minutes after she had been called away by Human Resources when Ruth carefully pushed a swivel chair to Sabrina's desk. As she was rolling Sabrina’s original chair away, Ruth seemed much more casual and brisk, the complete opposite of how cautious she had looked when she was bringing the new chair in."Why did she replace your chair?" Yvonne asked, confused."I want to find out too," Sabrina replied, her eyes still glued to the screen.After leaving the surveillance room, she headed back to the design d

Ruth found herself stuck between the seat of the swivel chair and the bearing underneath. The chair was now tilted to one side, after collapsing from Ruth’s weight on it. Meanwhile, some of the metal components that had gotten loose had somehow penetrated her skin.As she bled, Ruth's posture looked even more ridiculous. She was half squatting, as if she was using the toilet. Furthermore, since her hips were stuck in the chair, Ruth had tried to grab the table with both hands to balance herself, but it only made her look more like she was having difficulty passing motion. Coupled with her wailing voice that sounded like a pig’s cry, the scene in her office was as ugly as it could possibly be.When her colleagues saw how Ruth looked in that position, they couldn't resist anymore and burst into laughter.As they laughed, blood kept flowing out of Ruth's back."Are all of you crazy?! Stop laughing and call an ambulance now. Call the police while you’re at it so they can catch this mis

After looking around in the office, Ruth had found a pair of cotton trousers that were meant for winter use as a temporary replacement.On the other hand, Sabrina was wearing pants that were made out of very thin fabric.In other words, if Sabrina had been the one who sat on the broken chair, she could have very well be dead by now."Sabrina! You’re just a new employee, so how could you do such a vicious thing? Do you know that this is a crime, and can be considered as malicious harm?!" the manager of the Human Resources Department scolded as they stood outside the emergency room.Sabrina replied with a soft voice, "I’m just a newcomer who has only been to work for two days, so where could I have gotten such a chair?"This took the manager by surprise and left him speechless for a moment. After a pause, he whispered, "They...all claimed that you were the one who pushed this chair over to Miss Mann.""Yeah! And where did I push this chair from?""Where? From your own desk! That s

To Sabrina, South City had always been nothing but a hotbed of trouble. It was a fact that she had known by heart ever since she first came here at the age of twelve. As such, Sabrina had learned that it was best to ignore situations like this.Since she had no choice but to live in South City for now, the only thing she could do was to stay calm and learn to be more forgiving. If she encountered unavoidable conflicts, she would deal with them accordingly. Right now, all she wanted was to do her job well. She didn't want to cause any more trouble if she could avoid it.Yet, as Sabrina said that, the other colleagues suddenly shrunk back into their desks at the same time. No one dared to open their mouths again after hearing her jarring words.Sabrina spent the afternoon at her desk, helping Linda proofread some of the first drafts she had given her. At one point, she got up to ask tentatively, "Linda, your designs...""Can you understand my designs?" Although Linda wasn’t audacious

Linda was at a loss for words.When the director saw Sabrina’s reaction, she immediately reprimanded, “Linda! As a staff member, you can’t just blab about things that you didn’t see for yourself! Sabrina, tell me now, how did Ruth get injured?!”As the design director, what happened to Sabrina outside of work had nothing to do with her, mistress or not. Nevertheless, she had allegedly injured another colleague during work hours, which was a very serious issue. Since Sabrina was just a newcomer, the director thought that maybe she should just fire her today. She had caused too much trouble!The director kept her solemn gaze fixed on Sabrina, waiting to see how she would answer. Despite being questioned like that, Sabrina still looked very composed. She merely replied, “Director, I think that the personnel, logistics and security departments will be able to give us the best answer. Since you are my superior, I’d appreciate it if you could help me deal with this issue right now!”Af

“Can you drive?” Sebastian, who was sitting in the car, asked her.Sabrina was confused by the sudden question but answered anyway. “No.”Meanwhile, Kingston, who had overheard them, added, “Madam, in this day and age, when everyone owns a driving license, how come you can’t drive?”Just this morning, Kingston had been worried to death that his Master Sebastian would fire him. Yet now, just a few hours later, he went back to acting all chummy with Sabrina. Even Kingston himself didn’t realize how ballsy he had gotten recently. Still, his question made Sabrina pause for a moment. As she sat in the car without saying a word, her eyes betrayed a look of desolation. If any other newcomer had been faced with the same issues that Sabrina encountered at the company, they would definitely have quit at the first second.Not Sabrina.Ever since she turned twelve and spent her days being bullied and spat on in the Lynn family, Sabrina learned how to be resilient. If she ran away every time

As Sabrina continued to be immersed in her memories, the car moved forward. When she finally snapped awake, she quickly turned to Sebastian and asked him in a panic, “Where…where are we going? Aren’t we supposed to go pick Aino up?”“To buy you a car,” he replied casually.“But…but I don’t drive,” Sabrina stuttered.Without looking at her, Sebastian asked back nonchalantly, “And could you walk right after you were born?”Sabrina could not answer.“Pah…” Kingston, who was in the driver’s seat, couldn't help but laugh.He realized that he had been seeing such displays of affection quite frequently ever since Master Sebastian brought Madam back from Ciarrai County. Master Sebastian does show his love quite differently from other men.Though he sounded cool and sarcastic on the surface, his actions could be extremely sweet when he felt like it. After all, who else in this whole world would ask the woman he loved such a question when buying her a car?Only Master Sebastian would.

Sebastian kept quiet as he waited for Aino to speak.Even though the little thing still called him Stinky Bum, she was clearly much more intimate to Sebastian now than when she first came to his home. Aino whispered into her father’s ear mischievously, "Daddy, I’ve heard what Mommy said in her dream before."He instinctively turned to Sabrina without saying a word.Noticing his glance, Sabrina looked at the father and daughter with a confused expression.Aino continued, "My mother was saying that she doesn't want to like you in her dream. However, I know what that actually means. She was trying to say that she likes you very much instead!"Sebastian was taken aback by her keen insight. This little thing!As expected of his daughter, the five-year-old girl could already see through the words and actions of adults. She had understood her mother’s thoughts very well, which was probably how she managed to ruthlessly kill three birds with one stone, including defending her mother's

After thinking about it, a job at a construction site as a technician or something else would probably suit her better.The work would be dirty and taxing, but at least the people there were clean. Sabrina decided that she would aim for various construction sites around the city tomorrow.When morning came, she didn’t tell Sebastian about her losing her job or her plan to find work. Sabrina didn’t like him snooping around asking questions, but most of all, she didn’t want him to know she had gotten into a fight with a colleague after only two days of work.After breakfast, Sabrina and Sebastian sent Aino to kindergarten together, with Kingston driving. Then they drove to Sabrina’s old office. When the car stopped, Sebastian reminded her again, “Don’t stay in the office too late. I’m bringing you for driving lessons after work.”Sabrina simply nodded and replied, “Ok.”When she was sure that Kingston and Sebastian had driven away, Sabrina quickly boarded the bus. After about five

Meanwhile, the car continued zooming ahead uncontrollably. Sabrina was flailing about in Sebastian’s arms, crying and screaming. In contrast, he didn’t panic at all. He simply held Sabrina tightly with one arm before grabbing onto the steering wheel with his other hand. His thin lips whispered soothingly in Sabrina's ears, "Don't be scared, don’t be afraid, I’m here. Let go of your foot."When she heard this, Sabrina started to calm down.At first, she couldn’t even bring herself to open her eyes. As Sebastian gradually steadied the car, she found the courage to raise her head a little and peek at what was going on. When Sebastian felt her flinching again, he quickly wrapped his arm around her tightly and steered the car with his other arm from the passenger seat.At that moment, Sabrina’s heart was pounding so quickly that she could even start to hear her own heartbeat.The car continued to drive a long way out.
