"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

Linda was at a loss for words.When the director saw Sabrina’s reaction, she immediately reprimanded, “Linda! As a staff member, you can’t just blab about things that you didn’t see for yourself! Sabrina, tell me now, how did Ruth get injured?!”As the design director, what happened to Sabrina outside of work had nothing to do with her, mistress or not. Nevertheless, she had allegedly injured another colleague during work hours, which was a very serious issue. Since Sabrina was just a newcomer, the director thought that maybe she should just fire her today. She had caused too much trouble!The director kept her solemn gaze fixed on Sabrina, waiting to see how she would answer. Despite being questioned like that, Sabrina still looked very composed. She merely replied, “Director, I think that the personnel, logistics and security departments will be able to give us the best answer. Since you are my superior, I’d appreciate it if you could help me deal with this issue right now!”Af

“Can you drive?” Sebastian, who was sitting in the car, asked her.Sabrina was confused by the sudden question but answered anyway. “No.”Meanwhile, Kingston, who had overheard them, added, “Madam, in this day and age, when everyone owns a driving license, how come you can’t drive?”Just this morning, Kingston had been worried to death that his Master Sebastian would fire him. Yet now, just a few hours later, he went back to acting all chummy with Sabrina. Even Kingston himself didn’t realize how ballsy he had gotten recently. Still, his question made Sabrina pause for a moment. As she sat in the car without saying a word, her eyes betrayed a look of desolation. If any other newcomer had been faced with the same issues that Sabrina encountered at the company, they would definitely have quit at the first second.Not Sabrina.Ever since she turned twelve and spent her days being bullied and spat on in the Lynn family, Sabrina learned how to be resilient. If she ran away every time
