There was another man in Nigel's car.Sabrina shook her head, "Thank you, Master Nigel, but I think I would take the bus.”"We don't bite. This is my best friend Zayn! Get in already!" Nigel's tone did not offer any room for negotiation and sounded more like an order, "I know that you had a lot of work to do each day, that happens for all new employees, it would get better. Get on, I'll give you a ride!"Sabrina bit her lip hesitantly and finally caved. The other man in the car that was called Zayn seemed modest and courteous. He regarded Sabrina with respect and greeted, "Young Mistress Ford, I've heard all about you.”Sabrina smiled gently and bowed her head. The two men sitting before her came from wealthy backgrounds, the type of person that she had never once dealt with before. She was clueless about how to interact with them, not to mention how to please them. She had therefore decided it was best for her to remain silent."Back to my cousin's place?" Nigel asked.Her phone

She was in desperate need of money at the moment. Nigel seemed to have seen right through her and said with a cavalier attitude, "What I had given you couldn't be over $3,000 USD. What's wrong? Were you afraid that I was trying to buy a night of your time with that? Relax! I'm not interested in you! I only thought that a country girl like you was too pathetic. Consider this as charity work. If you really couldn’t accept it as it is, you could pay me back in installments in the future every time you received your pay.""Thank you," Sabrina blushed with her hands on the money."Also! My time is far too precious. Stop wasting my time. The next time I say I'm going to give you a ride, you should get in the car immediately," Nigel said mischievously as he stared at the reflection of a blushing Sabrina from the rear-view mirror of his car."Okay," Sabrina nodded obediently and turned to look outside the window calmly without another word. However, she was trying to keep the butterflies sh

Sebastian watched in silence as Nigel's car drove off to the distance. Kingston asked, "Master Sebastian, the car just now...it looked like it belonged to Master Nigel, was he here to visit Madam?" Kingston was preoccupied with parking the car and missed the scene where Sabrina stepped out of Nigel's car and smiled sweetly at him."Nigel did not consider my mother his aunt. The only reason he addressed her as his aunt was simply out of fear towards me," Sebastian said in a low voice, before heading into the hospital alone.‘Mother had been looking more energetic lately, making it seemed like a lie that she only had a month to live.’ He thought.He knew that it was Sabrina's consistent companionship that had uplifted his mother's spirit and caused her to feel slightly better despite her condition. He had to admit that Sabrina was resourceful. She remained cold and distant in his presence as if she wished to have nothing to do with him. However, she transformed into that gentle youn

"I know, and I wouldn’t want to!" Sabrina answered calmly. She turned around without looking at him and went straight ahead back to the ward. She did not owe Sebastian anything. He might have lent her $50,000 USD but it could be repaid once their contract ended. Although he once saved her life from kidnappers, he did so only for his mother's sake. There was no need for her to act submissive in front of him, knowing that she was far from being in his debt. All she wanted was to be herself and offered whatever comfort she could to Aunt Grace during these last moments of her life.The two remained distant from one another but were aware that they still had to put on a show for Grace once they stepped into the room. Sebastian threw his arms around Sabrina at the door, and Sabrina leaned into it, looking more in love than ever.Grace looked at the two with delight as they stepped in and reminded her son, "Sebastian, the both of you need to work a little bit harder for a baby."Before

Selene clenched her fists so hard that her nails were digging into the flesh at his words."Darling Sebastian, I...you had taken my body, and from that moment onwards, I swore to myself that you would be the only man in my life. It's okay if you don't want me, I'm not asking for anything. I only wanted to be able to see you every day," she said as she looked at Sebastian longingly.Sebastian struggled to suppress the disdain he felt for the woman standing before him. He was running out of patience. He would have stomped her to death long before this if she was not the woman who sacrificed herself to save him."Darling Sebastian..." Selene called out to him again, but Sebastian had his hand clammed around her neck viciously before she could finish."I told you that I would marry you! That means I would marry you! You would be the wife of the owner of the Ford Group in the future. What more did you want?! I had my hands full taking care of my mother, and I had no time to spare on tak

Meanwhile, Sabrina could not find peace within her at all. She knew that she was stuck in the middle of a whirlpool with danger lurking at every corner. The members of the Lynn Family would do everything in their power to make sure she suffered. She was aware that Nigel considered his kindness to her as mere charity. She ultimately knew that the reason Sebastian kept her around despite finding out about her pregnancy was simply for his mother's sake. She was another lowly woman who had no one to depend on in this society. She could only remind herself to be cautious, over and over again. She went straight into her bedroom as soon as she entered Sebastian's house and refused to step out, not even for food, when in truth, she was starving.She waited until eleven at night before finally coming out with a basin. She assumed Sebastian and Selene would not be in the living room and headed towards the bathroom to get some hot water for a bath, and to her surprise, she found Sebastian si

Sabrina did not register the woman before her as Mindy, but she instantly recognized Marcus."Excuse me," she said politely, as the two were blocking her way to the counter. She slid by them and walked towards the counter."Excuse me, I've received a couple of calls from Master Tong and I...I am here to return the camera...the cost of it, I mean.""May I know how to address you ma'am?" The lady at the cashier asked."Ms. Sabrina. I rented a digital camera that was worth $1,500 USD from you four days ago, and I am here today to return it...the cost of it," Sabrina repeated."Ms. Sabrina!" The lady seemed delighted to see her and responded, "please bear with me a moment. Our boss has been looking everywhere for you."Sabrina watched in silence. Her stomach sank as she knew that she was three days late and was worried the boss would accuse her of breaching the terms.‘It should be fine, I have $3,000 USD with me right now. This had to be enough to pay them back.’ The thought of

If the camera was not lost, she no longer needed the money she borrowed from Nigel."So...I didn't have to pay?" Sabrina asked cheerfully."Not even the rental fee," said Master Tong."Thank, thank you, thank you so much. I...I would get going then?" Sabrina reconfirmed in relief."Yes, of course, Miss Scott."Sabrina sighed a long breath of relief and walked out of the Leasing Center feeling like all troubles were behind her."Miss Scott, if I could borrow a minute of your time," Marcus called out from behind her. He instantly realized that Sabrina had asked to borrow $2,000 USD from him back at the banquet to compensate for a lost camera, and $2,000 USD could not even compare to what Marcus spent for a single meal."What did you need, Mr. Shaw?" Sabrina asked."Do you still need the money?" Marcus asked, struggling as to where he should start to explain himself."As you could see, I...no longer need it," Sabrina smiled gently."I had thought that you were one of those young

From Sebastian's point of view, she was simply playing hard to get with Marcus and the thought had him scowling wordlessly."Master Shaw..." Kingston exclaimed, "Master Shaw comes from a very strict background. The old Master of the Shaw Family would never allowed him to be involved in any scandal.” “Besides, Master Shaw was very disciplined himself as well, how did..." Kingston looked over to Sebastian and immediately stopped himself from continuing. He meant to say that Sabrina was too resourceful to have not only successfully bound herself to Master Sebastian, but somehow managed to have flings with Master Nigel and with a self-disciplined elite such as Master Shaw. She was far from an ordinary woman. However, he refrained from commenting further upon seeing the viciousness on Sebastian's face.Meanwhile, both Sabrina and Marcus were unaware that Sebastian witnessed every detail of their interaction from his car parked not far away."Mr. Shaw, please leave me alone!" She dema

Her son had visited her at noon and had brought her all sorts of nutritious delicacies for lunch, which she was fed up with at this point. She craved nothing more than a normal home-cooked meal, and today, her wish came true."My daughter-in-law is the sweetest," Grace praised sincerely."If you really like it this much, I am more than willing to bring you lunch every day. With that small side income I got, it should be enough to keep both of us fed," Sabrina smiled joyfully from her heart, feeling as lucky as though she came across the money on the road."Let me tell you a little secret. I couldn’t care for the dishes made by famous cooks that my son has been bringing me. I'd rather have what you brought me. I'm going to forbid Sebastian from ever bringing me lunch, and I would only be eating food brought to me by my sweet Sabbie!" Grace picked fun at her son in front of Sabrina playfully."Deal!" Sabrina raised her hand to high-five with Grace, and the two laughed cheerfully. Non
