Chapter 381
"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

Silence fell upon the office as everyone tried to process what Sabrina had just said.It was only a few moments after that Linda finally snapped out of her dazed state. "What...what are you saying?"Sabrina was never skilled in communication and opted to explain in a matter-of-fact tone. "I am staying here to work so you are changing stations with me. I am taking over your position and you are going to be my assistant. All blueprints you produce from this point onwards will have to go through me before being put into practice."Linda seemed dazed for a split second, before she snapped. "Sabrina Scott! Do you think that you are suddenly the better person for handling the incident for me? Please, be that as it may, you have also scammed your way into taking ten thousand dollars from me! What else do you want? You want to be on top? No freaking way! Everyone, you heard it, not only did this woman force me into paying her ten thousand dollars, she is now asking for me to gather up my thing

"And let me tell you, your mediocrity is almost painstaking to watch!" Seeing that Linda was rendered speechless. Ryan mercilessly proceeded, "You are going to be Sabrina's assistant from now on! Accept it or hand in your resignation immediately!""I'll...I'll accept it," Linda muttered. What other choice did she have? If words were to get out on how she had gotten herself fired and chased out by Ryan because of a mistake she made in her project, she would never find another job in the architectural field outside of this company. All eyes were on her, she bowed her head in resignation at Ryan's scolding. The office was filled with people that were highly adaptable to changes and immediately looked over at Sabrina with respect and started fawning over her. Some even started showering her with words of praise."Congratulations, Head Designer Scott. Do take good care of us from now on.""Oh, Head Designer Scott, your skills at handling incidents were simply beyond this world. We have so m

Ryan stood frozen in shock as different emotions ran across his mind. He stuttered as he struggled to process the information along with the disbelief. "You...but you look so young! Are you saying you are married?""Um, excuse me, could you move out of the way?" Sabrina could sense the chilling glare coming from inside the black limo as though the man was standing right before her.Ryan persistently stood before her. "Sabrina, is your husband treating you the way you deserve to be treated? You must have been tricked into this marriage, aren't you? Why else would you get married at such an early age?""I'm sorry, Master Ryan, but please move." And with that, Sabrina shoved him aside before striding off."Sabrina!" Ryan shouted from behind her, "even if you really are married, you still have the freedom to make friends as you please!"If it wasn't that Sebastian was waiting for her, Sabrina would have stopped to ask Ryan what was it about her that attracted him? Was it that she was not t
