Sabrina had noticed the problem with Linda’s designs last week. Now listening to Linda beg helplessly over the phone, she knew this would happen. Sabrina walked outside, not even bothering to look behind her. But then, she heard a cry behind her, coming from Linda. “Sabrina! Stop right there!”Sabrina ignored her. She wasn’t an employee of this company anymore, why should she stop?“Sabrina! Are you deaf?” Linda hung up the phone and stomped after her in her high heels. She stopped in front of Sabrina and glared at her.Sabrina’s tone was cold and calm. “Move.”She couldn’t be bothered to say another word to anyone, she needed to go find a job. Initially, the construction site job she went to in the afternoon was almost in the bag. If it was not for the call from the design director promising her her current job, she wouldn’t have come back at all! And now, she couldn’t work here, and she didn’t know if she could keep the job there. Sabrina was in a hurry now."Sabrina, it must be
Innocent till proven guilty. She didn’t do anything, so obviously she wasn’t willing to bear any responsibility. As such she could only go to the construction site with them to determine who was at fault!The entire design department took a company bus and went directly to the construction site. On the way, her colleagues took turns attacking her."If you’re a mistress, just stay a mistress. Could you not come to the company and harm others in the future? Let me tell you the cold, hard truth! If it’s your fault, you will be responsible for it alone. Do you think the construction projects are a game? If something goes wrong, people’s lives can be endangered, we might be thrown in jail! Can you afford to bear the responsibility? Even if you can’t, you have to! Don't try to run away! You can seduce men anywhere. Why would you come to our construction company? Do you think everyone in our company is blind?"Along the way, they took turns attacking her, almost pointing at her nose and s
Everyone was stunned the moment Sabrina’s words left her mouth. A quiet country bumpkin who was suspended for a week after working for two days, said she knew how to rectify the mistake?“Sabrina, don’t brag and give empty promises just because you were attacked by Linda! Construction matters must be taken seriously!” Even the design director was now displeased with Sabrina. Sabrina answered calmly, neither humbly nor boastfully. “I have a condition.”She looked at Linda. “Linda, the contents of both our computers can prove I never touched your designs at all, so if I help you solve the problem now, I’m doing you a big favor. I want to know if you will be paying me personally or if the company will be paying me. Why don’t you discuss this with everyone else?”Linda was speechless. “You…you still want payment? You…how much do you want?”“Ten thousand dollars!” Sabrina said directly.Everyone present was stunned.“This is daylight robbery!” Linda shouted.“Do you know how big yo
"Or else!"Linda could feel her legs giving in to the pressure. "Director, I...where on earth am I going to find ten thousand dollars?" she pleaded, on the brink of tears. "My boyfriend has just broken up with me so I won't be getting any allowance from him anymore. I have to pay the loan for my car and my apartment all by myself now, and the twenty thousand I am earning each month isn't even enough for those. I don't have any savings for this." The Design Director rolled her eyes at Linda and considered the situation. The entire Design Department would have to suffer the consequences if they failed to resolve the situation. She sighed heavily and rolled her eyes at Linda again, before looking over at Sabrina."Sabrina, I know you had been mistreated last week. This is what I'll propose, Linda will personally owe you ten thousand dollars, but she is obviously incapable of paying you right now. You need to come with me to the office later, I will talk to the Finance Department and have
Sabrina was slightly appalled when she saw Ryan at that moment. The fact that she had been fired after only working here for two days was mainly because of him. Had Ryan not behaved so eagerly around her, she would not have to face the overwhelming jealousy from every female colleague from the office, so much so that Ruth decided to get her in trouble. Ryan was the sole reason as to why she had faced obstacles, one after another. He was no different from Nigel six years ago, just a playboy that was tired of all the beautiful women surrounding him and decided that he wanted to try something new with someone dull and nerdy for a change. But Sabrina had grown out of her foolishness from six years ago. She would not allow herself to be affected by a man like Ryan any longer, which explained her reluctance to show any interest when Ryan was speaking directly to her.Sabrina's expression remained cold in front of Ryan, so much so the Design Director had to remind her by saying, "Sabrina, it'
Yvonne practically pounced on Sabrina with excitement as soon as she saw her. "Sabrina, where have you been this entire week? Why didn't you tell me anything? I had thought we could go grab a bite a few days ago, only to find out that you were on a business trip. Hey, which city did you go to? Do I get any souvenirs?" she asked playfully.Yvonne's innocent and sincere smile had always been a soft spot in Sabrina's heart. She looked apologetically at Yvonne and explained, "I'm so sorry, I sort of forgot...""Oh, come on, that's totally okay, Sabrina. I was just joking around. I know it's only been a few days since you joined us and you probably haven't gotten your salary yet. You wouldn't have the extra money to get me anything," said Yvonne with a cheerful smile on her face."Sabrina might not have the money, but I do!" Out of nowhere, Ryan decided to join the conversation and said, "So she forgot to buy you something from her business trip, right? How about this, I'll get you somethin
"What's wrong?" Sabrina was confused as to why Yvonne looked shocked by what she said."Nothing, Sabrina." Yvonne shook her head with a grin. "You were the only one who stood up against Ruth Poole, and the first one to ever reject Master Ryan. It's actually the first time Master Ryan had invited someone in the office for dinner, you know? Who would have thought that he would get rejected? Sabrina, you seem like such a nice girl, I didn't think you had it in you."Yvonne had known since the very first moment she met Sabrina that they would become close friends. She admired Sabrina's innocence and how she kept to herself without speaking too much.Coincidentally, Sabrina happened to share the same feelings towards Yvonne. She did not have any friends and ever since the day she was released from prison six years ago, she had been caught in a world of dramas and backstabbing. She had never met anyone that would open up to her like Yvonne did, and so she treasured their friendship and treat
Sabrina had only wished to bargain her way into an increment of two thousands, so it was entirely beyond her expectation that she was offered five thousands instead. But in truth, she would prefer a less toxic environment if she was to stay."I accept, Director. But I have a condition," she said. "I no longer wish to work for Linda, I want to be her supervisor. Anything she does will have to go through me. Is that something you can arrange?"It wasn't that Sabrina wanted to bully Linda. She realized as soon as she entered the company on the very first day that Linda was brilliant in her designs when she was reviewing Linda's blueprints, though she approached designing with a style that differed from Sabrina.Sabrina was aware that the only way to grow was to absorb whatever experience she could from others, and the best way to do so was to ensure that she had access to all of Linda's designs."I can take back my request for the ten thousand," seeing that the Director was remaining sile
