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
’Why do you keep bringing it up?’ he thought.The sound of Kingston chuckling had deepened Sabrina's panic. Lucky for her, though Kingston was hired by Sebastian, he tended to be more supportive of Sabrina and immediately jumped into the conversation by explaining, "Mrs. Ford, I believe Master Sebastian is asking if you are free over the weekend. If so, he would like to take you to the driving school for your lessons.""Oh..." So he didn't need to ask her anything about Ryan? That's for the best, since she never had anything to speak of regarding Ryan to begin with."Tomorrow is my rest day," she responded as she looked at Sebastian.He did not react in any way but remained expressionless. Sabrina could not figure out what the man was thinking even if her life depended on it, and decided to remain silent as well. It was not until they had picked Aino up from the kindergarten that the car was once again filled with laughter."Mommy," said Aino as soon as she was in the car. "Susan's mom
Sabrina soon realized she had underestimated how fast his train of thoughts truly was when she was carried into the bedroom. They had mentioned Ryle Poole in the car after work and that swiftly turned into a discussion of whether she had a rest day over the weekend; they were just talking about exchanging contact and the man's thought seemed to have traced back to the matter with Ryan as soon as he slammed the bedroom door behind him."Is your man better than Ryan Poole?" he asked."...I don't know." Sabrina barely even knew Ryan in person, how was she to judge whether he was better?"You don't know?" he smirked and continued, "Well, then you will have to be punished!""You...you are better than him.""And who am I?" he asked relentlessly."My...my husband is better than Ryle Poole...a hundred times better," she caved and muttered.The last thought that filled Sabrina right before she fell asleep that night was how vengeful Sebastian was. The only reason he did not mention anything whe
"Where is Aino, Aunt Lewis?" Sabrina paced into the kitchen to find Aunt Lewis cooking a stew."Mrs. Ford, why didn't you sleep a bit longer?" Aunt Lewis smiled gently at Sabrina and explained, "Assistant Yates had taken the little princess with him this morning under Master Sebastian's orders. He said he was going to take the little princess to the amusement park. The little princess was so excited for it when she headed out, she specifically asked that no one disturb her mommy in her sleep.""Oh...thank you, Aunt Lewis." Sabrina grinned in relief. Aunt Lewis's words reminded her that Kingston seemed to have mentioned that Sebastian would be taking her to take driving lessons, which naturally, Aino would not be able to follow. Regardless, she felt assured that it was Kingston who was taking care of Aino.After the meal, Sebastian took Sabrina to the driving school they had gone to before. They arrived at the school close to dusk, whereas this time they had arrived early before noon. D
Sabrina turned around to look at Sebastian with eyes widened in awe.Sebastian's icy expression remained unwavering. "There is no possible way to take a driving lesson for someone as horrible as you, is there? A mere driving lesson can have you screaming at the top of your lungs, could you be held responsible if you end up bumping into someone or scaring people around you? Your life isn't worth that much, but my daughter cannot be motherless!"Sabrina knew the man was ruthless but she never truly expected him to be this mean. She gave up on the notion to argue as she knew she wouldn't win against the man, and instead changed the subject. "So...which of these trainers will be training me?""Me!" he scoffed.Once again, Sabrina found herself rendered speechless as she silently judged the man before her, thinking, ‘This guy just has too much money in his hand for him to spend twenty thousand just so that he can do stuff himself, what's wrong with him?’Sebastian was not fooled by her sile
The clothes that she was wearing had made her look like an innocent teenage girl who had been locked away in a tower for her entire life and was just introduced to the world. Sabrina chuckled sarcastically at her own thoughts, who would complement themselves in such a way?"Sabrina," she scolded herself mentally, "you can't allow yourself to lose yourself in this any longer. Look at you, you've forgotten all about Zayn, where is he right now? Is he doing okay?"Sabrina's expression darkened at the thought of Zayn. She did not want to think of Nigel, especially when she was called homewrecker repeatedly by Ruth Mann in the office. But at that very moment, she desperately wanted to see Nigel and ask him about the whereabouts of Zayn. After all, Nigel had promised to look for Zayn.With a heavy heart, she stepped out of the restroom. She did not see Sebastian waiting, but heard his chilling voice came from behind her."I hope for your sake that you are not thinking about another man! If y
