Chapter 340
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

When he heard that, Ryan didn’t know how to react. After a moment, he started to speak again. “It’s your first day of work today, so you shouldn’t have much work assigned. How come you’re not free? If your reporting officer is the one who asked you to work overtime on your first day, that’ll harm the company’s image. I’ll go speak to her!”Sabrina was taken aback by his words.Then, Ryan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “Now that the overtime problem has been resolved, there’s no reason for you to reject my invitation.”“There’s no reason,” Sabrina repeated softly.Before he could react, Sabrina had already picked up her leftover dishes and got up to leave. For a moment, Ryan was left speechless with his jaw agape.As he looked at Sabrina leaving the cafeteria, he put his hand to his forehead and started to laugh. He then muttered to himself, “This girl is quite interesting.”All the employees who were watching, especially the women, were all stunned.They could on

When she looked at Yvonne, Sabrina could suddenly feel a sense of warmth in her heart. She didn’t have any friends before this, after all. All her former classmates from college had cut off their ties with her after she was sentenced to imprisonment. Though Sabrina had gotten the opportunity to meet Grace and form a friendship with her in prison later on, she was already dead now. Then there was Zayn, who had sacrificed his life to protect Sabrina, and even lived with her for a while before being exiled to some unknown place by Sebastian. After having gone through so much, Sabrina was no longer a person who could make friends easily. Yet, when she had seen Yvonne’s cheerful smile and how much she admired her, Sabrina felt differently. She suddenly stopped when they had almost reached the entrance to the design department and said while looking at Yvonne, “If you became his girlfriend, do you think he will marry you?”Confused at her question, Yvonne replied, “Huh?”“Is he t

Sabrina turned around to the source of the voice and saw Linda walking in with her hands on her waist.“Linda,” Sabrina called out.“Are you the mistress?” Linda suddenly asked Sabrina with a fierce tone, as if she was the one who had stolen her man. She looked Sabrina dead in the eye.Linda was curious to see how Sabrina would get out of this mess. Meanwhile, their conversation had caught the attention of the other colleagues in the office who were now looking in their direction.No one in their right mind would enjoy being interrogated like that. Those who couldn’t stand the scrutiny might have even cried if they were asked such a question.However, Sabrina remained calm. “Whose mistress, if I may ask?”“What do you mean?!” Linda replied harshly.“If you are asking whether I’m your husband’s mistress, then I have to apologise, since I don’t even know who he is. And even if I am, you’re the one who should go home and teach your jerk of a husband a lesson first!”When she heard Sabrin

After Linda left, Sabrina continued with her work and started organizing the new documents that had been given to her.She decided that she could continue working here so long as nobody else caused any more trouble for her.So far, her first day in the company had been a combination of both excitement and frustration. Sabrina had initially assumed that she would be asked to work overtime in order to finish organizing the documents, and was surprised when Linda told her to pack up when office hours were over. “We don’t work overtime here. You can finish up the work tomorrow. Don’t wear yourself out or you’ll look old and sallow. When that happens, you won’t be able to be a mistress anymore. Let’s call it a day!”Though Linda had used a sarcastic tone, Sabrina was not bothered by it in the least.She picked up her bag and left along with the rest of her colleagues. As she was walking out, she saw Yvonne waiting for her by the service desk.“Sabrina!” Yvonne shouted at her excitedly.“I
