Why was she trying so hard even when she didn't fit in?! Does she seriously believe that people will start to think of her as a member of the upper class just because she dressed her child up in luxurious clothes? That’s ridiculous!Meanwhile, Sabrina still didn’t say a word. She could tell that when this woman had called her a country bumpkin the other day, it had just been to satisfy her own sense of superiority. However, when Susan’s mother saw that Aino was dressed prettier and more elegant than her own daughter today, she couldn’t restrain herself anymore. Envy and jealousy overwhelmed her!Just as Sabrina had been about to snap back at Susan’s mother, an arm suddenly appeared from behind and rested on her shoulders. When she turned her head, she saw Sebastian looking back at her.As he pulled Sabrina into his arms, an off-road vehicle worth tens of millions pulled up beside them slowly."Do you know her?" Sebastian asked with a cold tone.Still shocked from finding herself i
When she heard Ruth’s voice, Sabrina tried to ignore it and headed straight for the elevator inside the lobby.She wasn’t about to start retaliating immediately just because Sebastian had told her not to tolerate people who bullied her. By her nature, Sabrina wasn't a competitive person at all. Furthermore, since she was in the company now, she didn’t want to waste her time with Ruth, someone who only managed to get hired because of family relations and had no intelligence of her own to speak of.Sabrina pressed the buttons for both elevators at the same time. However, just as the doors to one of the elevators opened, Ruth managed to catch up to her. "Sabrina! Who do you think you are? Do you think that you’re better than everyone here just because Master Ryan showed you some attention? Let me tell you, you’re no better than any other woman he keeps under his belt!"As soon as Ruth finished speaking, Sabrina went into the elevator. She immediately followed behind her.When Sabrin
"You...just you wait!" Ruth was out of breath, her lips starting to turn purple. She tried stroking her chest to calm herself down as much as possible before limping out of the design department."Not bad!" Linda sneered sarcastically at Sabrina.However, Sabrina said nothing, and pretended not to hear her. She started to immerse herself in her work. When she proofread one of Linda’s works earlier, Sabrina had discovered some problems with the design.Linda's style often incorporated glamor and flamboyance. Though it looked particularly attractive at first glance, and would likely amaze its viewers, Sabrina knew that architecture cannot be regarded and treated the same as fashion design.If the architect only took aesthetics into account and overlooked the building’s stability, many hazards to safety will start to reveal themselves during construction.Shouldn’t a senior designer like Linda already know this?Sabrina looked towards her.Meanwhile, Linda had been making fun of Sa
Sabrina glanced at Linda momentarily, before picking up a pile of documents that she had finished proofreading. She then walked over to Linda's desk, saying straightforwardly, "Linda, I’ve finished proofreading these. Here you go."Linda simply grabbed the documents and stared at the person standing in front of her blankly.Sabrina continued, without beating around the bush, "Linda, I'm going to eat my lunch now, and will review the rest later. Since there are not too many people in the cafeteria now, I’ll head there first, so that I won’t get stared at later."Linda sneered at her, "Sabrina, it seems that you know how to survive now."Sabrina smiled slightly at the sarcastic remark. "You have to learn how to adapt in the workplace. I'll get going now."Before Linda could get in another word, Sabrina turned around to leave the design department.Just as she walked out, a group of her colleagues started to mumble to themselves almost immediately.They all had expressions of pity
"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
