“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
As Sabrina continued to be immersed in her memories, the car moved forward. When she finally snapped awake, she quickly turned to Sebastian and asked him in a panic, “Where…where are we going? Aren’t we supposed to go pick Aino up?”“To buy you a car,” he replied casually.“But…but I don’t drive,” Sabrina stuttered.Without looking at her, Sebastian asked back nonchalantly, “And could you walk right after you were born?”Sabrina could not answer.“Pah…” Kingston, who was in the driver’s seat, couldn't help but laugh.He realized that he had been seeing such displays of affection quite frequently ever since Master Sebastian brought Madam back from Ciarrai County. Master Sebastian does show his love quite differently from other men.Though he sounded cool and sarcastic on the surface, his actions could be extremely sweet when he felt like it. After all, who else in this whole world would ask the woman he loved such a question when buying her a car?Only Master Sebastian would.
Sebastian kept quiet as he waited for Aino to speak.Even though the little thing still called him Stinky Bum, she was clearly much more intimate to Sebastian now than when she first came to his home. Aino whispered into her father’s ear mischievously, "Daddy, I’ve heard what Mommy said in her dream before."He instinctively turned to Sabrina without saying a word.Noticing his glance, Sabrina looked at the father and daughter with a confused expression.Aino continued, "My mother was saying that she doesn't want to like you in her dream. However, I know what that actually means. She was trying to say that she likes you very much instead!"Sebastian was taken aback by her keen insight. This little thing!As expected of his daughter, the five-year-old girl could already see through the words and actions of adults. She had understood her mother’s thoughts very well, which was probably how she managed to ruthlessly kill three birds with one stone, including defending her mother's
After thinking about it, a job at a construction site as a technician or something else would probably suit her better.The work would be dirty and taxing, but at least the people there were clean. Sabrina decided that she would aim for various construction sites around the city tomorrow.When morning came, she didn’t tell Sebastian about her losing her job or her plan to find work. Sabrina didn’t like him snooping around asking questions, but most of all, she didn’t want him to know she had gotten into a fight with a colleague after only two days of work.After breakfast, Sabrina and Sebastian sent Aino to kindergarten together, with Kingston driving. Then they drove to Sabrina’s old office. When the car stopped, Sebastian reminded her again, “Don’t stay in the office too late. I’m bringing you for driving lessons after work.”Sabrina simply nodded and replied, “Ok.”When she was sure that Kingston and Sebastian had driven away, Sabrina quickly boarded the bus. After about five
Meanwhile, the car continued zooming ahead uncontrollably. Sabrina was flailing about in Sebastian’s arms, crying and screaming. In contrast, he didn’t panic at all. He simply held Sabrina tightly with one arm before grabbing onto the steering wheel with his other hand. His thin lips whispered soothingly in Sabrina's ears, "Don't be scared, don’t be afraid, I’m here. Let go of your foot."When she heard this, Sabrina started to calm down.At first, she couldn’t even bring herself to open her eyes. As Sebastian gradually steadied the car, she found the courage to raise her head a little and peek at what was going on. When Sebastian felt her flinching again, he quickly wrapped his arm around her tightly and steered the car with his other arm from the passenger seat.At that moment, Sabrina’s heart was pounding so quickly that she could even start to hear her own heartbeat.The car continued to drive a long way out. Since this particular road was used exclusively by learners, there
He used to think it was because she was cold-tempered, didn't care about everything, and had very little ties, that she looked much younger than her peers, but today, Sebastian suddenly found out that Sabrina's skin was really healthy.Especially fully moisturized, her small face was full of collagen. Her natural, makeup-free face was enough to mesmerize him to the point where he was unable to look away. Seeing Sebastian look at her like that, Sabrina blushed immediately.Her red cheeks looked like two ripe apples, Sabrina didn't know what to say, coughing slightly. "Uhm..."Before she could finish speaking, her lips were already covered by his.What he didn't finish on the training lane at the driving institute was to be done at home after all. Before she knew it, he had carried her into their bedroom. It goes without saying that the night passed beautifully.Sabrina was in good spirits the next day. She felt that for her, life like this was considered very good, almost perfect.
Sabrina turned around. It was Ryan.“Master…Master Ryan, uhm, Director Poole?” Sabrina addressed him instinctively, “Why are you here?”Ryan lifted his eyebrows. “This is our company’s project. Why are you here on behalf of our company? Did the design department send you?”Sabrina replied, “I’m sorry, but I already quit. I came here today to apply for a job, and it just so happened that a problem like this occurred. I…I can help you solve the problem.”Ryan couldn’t help studying her from head to toe. “You…”Sabrina nodded. “Yes.”Ryan immediately turned to the technicians. “Alright, let this pretty girl try telling us her plan.”With that, he ran his eyes over her critically again. A week had passed since he last saw her. She looked much better than she did last time, glowing from within, as if she had absorbed all the nutrients she needed. A healthy pink flush covered her skin like a baby’s. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, and her clothes were plain, but somehow, she had grown
“Why…why don’t you want to work there anymore?” Ryan asked Sabrina in confusion.She didn’t feel like explaining herself. Right when Ryan was planning to call the company to enquire about this matter, Sabrina’s phone rang again. She took a look at the screen. Unexpectedly, it was the design director who sent her home to take a break. She answered coldly, “I’m sorry director, I’m at my new job now. Is there anything you would like to say? Please make it quick.”On the other side of the phone, the design director said pleasingly, “Sabrina, I didn’t mean for you to quit. I just asked you to go home to hide it for a while. Miss Ruth has recovered from her injuries and is back at work now. She’s not angry anymore. So only now do I dare to call you and ask you to come back.”Sabrina frowned. “Is that true?”The director was helpless too. She hoped Sabrina would quit too. As the design director, she didn’t want any trouble, but she never expected Ruth would ask for Sabrina the moment sh
