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
Sabrina replied coldly, “I have nothing to say about that.”At that moment, Sebastian was left speechless by her words.Even Kingston who was driving couldn’t help but look back.Madam was so cool.In this entire city, no one had ever talked back to Master Sebastian with that tone. Madam was the first and perhaps the only one who would ever do that.After a while, Sebastian raised his eyebrows and started to speak again. “How should I know anything about it if I don’t work at your company? I still need you to tell me.”He had never acted so patiently with anyone, much less an irritating lady like Sabrina who constantly challenged him.At least she knew how to protect herself well.Even after causing such a fuss in the cafeteria earlier, Sabrina could still continue eating her lunch calmly as if nothing had happened.No wonder she was Aino’s mum.When Sebastian heard what she said, he started to realise where Aino had gotten her cunning and sly personality from. She didn’t just inherit
Sabrina got out of the car and went to pick up Aino from the kindergarten by herself. At that moment, Aino waved goodbye to a girl around the same height as her and said, “Bye, Susan.”The girl, Susan, was leaving the kindergarten with her mum.When Aino noticed that Sabrina was there as well, she quickly ran into her embrace, shouting, “See, Susan, my mum is here to pick me up too.”With just a few steps, she reached Sabrina who was coincidentally standing right beside Susan and Susan’s mother.Sabrina greeted them politely. “Nice to meet you.”Susan raised her head and greeted her back with a soft voice. “Hi auntie, Aino and I are good friends.”However, just as she finished speaking, her mother dragged her away forcefully. She scolded, “Don’t be friends with someone like her. Her mum dresses like a country bumpkin, she looks so ugly!”Her comments left both Sabrina and Aino at a loss for words.After a while, Sabrina held Aino’s hand and said to her gently, changing the subject, “Le
As Sebastian had noticed how unfashionable Sabrina looked in the morning, he decided to get some outfits from his own company’s clothing stores for her. Right after his afternoon meeting had concluded, he went to place some orders which led to the two car-loads worth of clothing and four sales assistants that were in front of them now.Sabrina couldn’t help but be stunned when she watched them carry the clothes into her apartment.Meanwhile, in her excitement, Aino began shrieking happily and sounded much like a bird. After all, she had never seen her mum wearing anything fancy when they were living in Ciarrai County. Now, with so many pretty clothes to choose from, no one will ever make fun of how she looked anymore.After the sales assistants finally left, Sabrina could only stare at all the clothes that filled her closet in amazement.Was she happy?Sebastian had started to treat her much better now, compared to when she was first brought here from Ciarrai county. Perhaps it was all
At the same time, Sabrina wanted to gloat.Sebastian has finally found his match!“Alright!” Sebastian suddenly said.Aino asked happily in anticipation, “Are you willing to help me…?”“No!” To her dismay, Sebastian cut her off mid sentence.When she heard that, Aino was at a loss for words.“You can call me whatever you like, but I won’t help you set up the toy regardless.” Sebastian’s tone sounded calm but firm at the same time.This seemed to frustrate Aino. She pouted and said angrily, “I don’t want to build the toy anymore! I don’t want to play with it! That solves everything! Hmph!”Kids around four to five years old tended to lose focus easily. They didn’t understand the concept of perseverance.After all, Aino was still very young. She was used to giving up constantly, even when she was staying in Ciarrai county.However, Aino would always ask her Uncle Zayn for help. He would satisfy Aino’s requests and demands, regardless of how small they were. “It’s fine…Aino is still so li
Sabrina enjoyed watching how Aino delighted in her own work.It was extremely touching to see a kid accomplishing something on her own.Furthermore, the experience seemed to motivate both her and Aino.After building her first robot through dedication and perseverance, Aino’s interest started to grow as well. She even demanded to build a second one.However, when he heard this, Sebastian raised his eyebrows and warned her, “This is even harder than the one you completed earlier.”He didn’t expect Aino to succeed this time.She was still a kid after all. On top of that, he believed that there should be an order for everything, and that included building robots as well. One had to progress gradually, starting with something simple before moving to a more difficult one.Yet, this only made Aino more competitive. She furrowed her eyebrows back at her father. ‘Hmph! Stinky Bum Daddy, don’t look down on me. Do you want to bet on whether I can build this too?”“I don’t think you can!” Sebasti
Sebastian was the head of his entire family and practically had control over the whole city. He was like the king of this land.Yet, he would still do anything for his daughter. Humans were such strange creatures. Since Sabrina had rarely seen her daughter be so happy, she decided not to disturb her. When it was almost nine thirty, Aino started to feel tired and so Sabrina brought her to the bathroom to wash up. Then, she helped Aino to change into a cute set of Pikachu themed pajamas. As Aino was being tucked in bed, she started to mumble, “Mum, I want dad… Stinky Bum to read me stories.”When she heard this, Sabrina didn’t know how to respond.Before she could say no to Aino, Sebastian suddenly walked in from behind her, as if on cue.It turns out that his stories were different from the ones Sabrina usually told.She had only ever read warm and happy stories to Aino.In contrast, Sebastian told stories of hardship, conflicts, and disasters. He would even act out the scenes, which k
Morning came.As the weather was good, some sunlight managed to sneak past the curtains which woke Sabrina up.When she got up, Sabrina realised that the bed beside her was empty. She assumed that Sebastian must have woken up already, since he was a very punctual person.However, she couldn’t get up just yet. She decided to stay in bed for a little longer, as she was still exhausted from the previous night.After having a lot of fun last night, Sabrina couldn’t even walk straight now. Her legs were still shaky, and she even had to balance herself against the wall as she took her first steps.When Sebastian came out from the washroom and saw her, he noticed that something wasn’t right. He immediately asked, “What’s wrong with you?”Sabrina’s face suddenly turned very red.She pouted and quickly replied, “What’s wrong with me? You should know why! Don’t you remember what you did last night?”Sebastian didn’t know how to respond.When she finally calmed down, Sabrina noticed that she was
