It was obvious that the two women who were gossiping about Sabrina did not know who she actually was, as they didn’t realize that the subject of their conversation was actually standing right in front of them.Without a care in the world, the two of them continued talking away unscrupulously and with great relish.“Hey, did you know, I heard from the Ford Residence that the bastard daughter was accepted into the family.”“Is that so? Why would they accept the child of a woman who was captured? Don’t the older members of the Ford family despise her? I even heard that she has been to prison before.”“Logically speaking, the older generation of the Ford family would never recognize a child like that, but for some reason, the old master really seems to have taken a liking to the bastard daughter. Furthermore, just like how Young Master Sebastian is the only one left in his generation in the Ford family, his daughter is the same for now. So it's only natural that they care about her.”
After sorting out everything in the human resources department, the manager sent Sabrina to the architectural design department. When she arrived there, she saw the two gossiping women again.The two women smiled at her.Sabrina subtly nodded back at them.Then, the director of the department assigned a desk to Sabrina. Just as she was about to sit down, another woman suddenly came running into the office. She asked loudly, “Sabrina, who’s Sabrina?”Upon hearing her name, Sabrina stood up immediately and looked at the woman who was calling her. “Hello, that’s me. Do you have something for me?”She did not recognise the woman at all. It seems like she wasn’t from the human resources department, as Sabrina had just been there. So how did this woman know her, and why was she looking for her?Sabrina started to get suspicious.She had always been a reserved person, and would rarely strike up conversations with others. Sabrina would always feel uncomfortable and apprehensive whenever
Sabrina did not have any friends or contacts on her WhatsApp.Furthermore, she very rarely posted any stories, and had only done it maybe two or three times before.One of them was to declare that her daughter was finally safe, and that she would not have to be afraid anymore, which was posted along with photos of Aino.The next was a story about Sabrina finding a job.It was a job that she liked, located in a large office building. Her mood seemed much better in this story, and she even added a photo of the office building, as well as the name of the company.Just by looking at her words, it was evident that finding this job had put Sabrina in a very good mood. Further up, the latest story was actually posted on the same day. It wrote, “Seeing this woman being beaten up like this makes me feel so happy. I just want to find a corner to hide in and laugh. Hahaha. Attached are the photos of Selene’s beaten up face.”No matter how emotionless she acted, Sabrina still had the heart
“Answer!”Kingston had no choice but to steel himself and pick up the call. “Madam.”On the other end of the line, Sabrina asked with a calm voice, “Mr Yates, Yvonne is your…”“Madam, that’s my cousin,” Kingston answered while sweating profusely.Sabrina’s tone did not change. “How did you find out that I was working here? And are you trying to get your cousin to spy on my every move? You don’t have to do that, I can just quit working if you want. I don’t want to be spied on like this!”On the other end, Kingston stuttered as he tried to explain himself. “That’s, that’s not it, madam. You… You definitely misunderstood. It’s like this, I… when I sent you Selene’s photos, didn’t I add you on WhatsApp? As I’m a contact of yours now, I… I can see the stories you post.“When I saw that story you posted about the company you joined, I realized that it was such a coincidence, as my cousin works there too. After I found out, I reported the situation to the young master. So, my cousin hel
Sabrina looked up at the woman who was shouting at her.The woman was wearing an incredibly expensive outfit, and also had on high heels that were over ten centimeters high. She wore very exaggerated earrings that matched her alluring black hair. Sabrina realised that the woman was still staring at her with a challenging expression. She started to shout again, “I’m asking you, why are you here?!”When Yvonne saw that woman, she shrank back behind Sabrina, and started to kick at her feet. Even though Yvonne did not say anything, Sabrina understood what she was trying to say. Yvonne was telling her that the woman in front of them should not be messed with.However, even as Sabrina took another look at the woman again, she still didn’t recognise her at all.Sabrina sometimes wondered if she had been born to attract trouble.Why did women whom Sabrina could not afford to offend always seem to know her?However, with all things considered, it did make some sense.She was a notorious
This workplace seemed to have niche and elite membership. Nevertheless, without even turning to look at Ruth, Sabrina said to Yvonne calmly, “It’s fine.”After all, she was just a person who had been captured by Sebastian and had lived every day knowing full well it could be her last.A person like her who has nothing to lose has no reason to be afraid of the people in power. She did not care at all.Yet, when Yvonne saw Sabrina’s reaction, she was speechless.Ruth, clearly furious, roared, “You! Stand up now!”She had shouted with such a loud and high pitched voice that the people around them started to turn their attention towards the table. Even those who were having their meals and packing food stopped whatever they were doing and kept their eyes on Sabrina. Among them was Linda, the architectural designer whom the director had ordered to take care of Sabrina for a week. “Hmph! Such a troublemaker. She’s already causing waves on her first day of work. On top of that,
Sabrina didn’t know how to react. The man standing in front of her was clearly in his early twenties. He did not look like Nigel’s age, but seemed a little familiar. Who did he look like?Sabrina could not remember at that moment. She could only stare at the smiling man in a daze. “You…I don’t know you,” said Sabrina bluntly. Everyone in the cafeteria, who was watching from behind, was shocked by her words. Ryan Poole!He was the second-largest shareholder of this company!Although the company was rather small with about 100 employees, and had only made one-to-two hundred million in annual turnovers that was to be shared among a few partners, the families backing this company were all very reputable.Marcus Shaw for instance, was the member of an eminent family in South City. Then there was Ryan, a descendant of arguably the most powerful family in the political sphere of Kidon City up north. Although his father did not hold a high position, his youngest uncle, Alex Poo
“She doesn’t care for it?”“She’s just pretending.”Sabrina truly did not care about Ryan or what he thought of her at all.She turned her attention back toward her food with her head lowered and started to eat again. When she heard what Ryan had said, she merely uttered “Oh…”Not one more word.However, seeing Sabrina’s reaction seemed to make Ryan laugh. “Master Ryan!” Ruth said furiously, “She’s a homewrecker! She ruined the relationship between my sister and my brother-in-law. She is the wench who seduced my brother-in-law!”Ryan glared at Ruth with a disdainful look. “Why are you acting like a hateful shrew?”When she heard this, Ruth was taken aback. “Master Ryan, you…what did you say?”She could not believe her own ears. Before today, she was a highly favored member of the company. The few shareholders had even treated her like a little sister, with Marcus doting on her as well. Yet, Ryan had called her a hateful shrew in front of so many people just now?Ruth grit
