At the thought that the manager of the HR department had asked her to go to work, Sabrina took it as encouragement. Everything that happened yesterday was in the past. Even the nasty comments and rumors about her online couldn’t be traced anymore, as if it was nothing but a nightmare. Sabrina didn’t want to think about the past, only focusing on the future. In the future, she would be an extremely successful architect, then she would return to her hometown and visit her mother’s grave. Maybe she might even move her parents' grave to South City, so she could go and visit them often. And she wanted to seek revenge on the Lynn family. Especially on Lincoln Lynn. If her guess was accurate, then the person she hated the most in this world was Lincoln Lynn.On the way to her office, Sabrina was busy thinking about these matters and didn’t speak to Sebastian. Luckily, Sebastian was a man of few words. He didn’t find the silence awkward. Instead, the moment Sabrina organized her thoughts, s
Sebastian looked away awkwardly. He had been surprised by her too. It was still so early in the morning and she had already flirted with him twice.Unexpectedly, she was a master at it. Her words that morning almost made him give up going to work. And now, in front of Kingston, she leaned over to him so naturally to tie his necktie! It was as if they had been married for years, and she couldn’t stand seeing him leave the house looking so messy and insisted on tidying his clothes up. Her actions were unbelievably natural.Sabrina didn’t know how volatile the thoughts in his mind were right now. She rarely took the initiative when she was with him, rarely treating him as her husband. This sudden change flustered him. A cold-blooded murderer, someone who was extremely calm when faced with anything, was flustered by her!Sebastian laughed at himself. Kingston was right. He was afraid of his wife.He cleared his throat. “If you keep gripping onto my necktie and squeezing it upwards, I’
Most 26-year-old girls weren’t even married yet. Actually, Madam was still the girl that shone brightly if you gave her some sunlight. Madam was so cool and calm because she got too little warmth from the world. Kingston was right. Sabrina was indeed the girl who could grow sunflowers in her heart if you gave her some sunshine. She almost hopped into the elevator, only calming down and slipping into her usual self when she saw the elevator was occupied. Sabrina didn’t have social anxiety. On the contrary, if she could meet someone she got along with, she would love to make friends too. But Sabrina knew, now that she was shunned, the only thing she could do was remain silent. Upon seeing that the elevator was occupied, Sabrina hung her head habitually. However, the moment the two female employees in the elevator saw Sabrina, they immediately bowed to her respectfully. “Mrs…Mrs. Ford.” Sabrina was stunned, her face flushed red. She could withstand whatever attacks they aimed at her
On the other end, Yvonne stammered slightly. “Sab…uhm, Mrs. Ford, sor…sorry, I didn’t know you were Mrs. Ford, so I was quite rude to you. Please…please forgive me.”Sabrina groaned. “Yvonne! Why are you stammering!”Yvonne didn’t reply. That’s because she was terrified! She was Sebastian Ford’s wife, and yet she hid her identity. Yvonne always found her pitiful and pitied her, but in actuality, she was the biggest boss!Sabrina sighed. “Yvonne, I’ve known you for more than a month and I’ve never seen you stammer. If you don’t tell me why you’re suddenly all awkward, I’ll come upstairs and visit you right now.”Yvonne said in a panic, “Don’t come up! I’m very, very busy, bye!”With that, Yvonne ended the call. Sabrina felt slightly guilty. She really liked Yvonne. She wasn’t like everyone else, good at talking and socializing. Since she was young, she appreciated every single friend she made, just like how she appreciated Nigel. She decided to finish her work and pay a visit to
She just disliked people like her. She didn’t like her, so she didn’t care what she thought. Even though Lina’s expression looked extremely awkward, Sabrina was at ease. She divided some of her workload and handed it to Linda. “This is your workload for this week. If there’s anything you don’t know, you can discuss it with me.”Lina was dumbfounded. Sabrina had already turned and walked out of the office. The minute she stepped out of the door, the atmosphere in the office exploded. Lina’s expression was sad and distraught. “Mrs. Ford, she’s…is she holding a grudge against me?”“Sabrina isn’t someone like that!” Andrew said.Lina asked, “Then why wouldn’t she drink the coffee I gave her?”Another male colleague, Xavier Johnson sneered. “Why should she drink your coffee?”York Devon chortled. “Are there flowers in your coffee?”Andrew was the youngest intern, so he was particularly straightforward. “Lina, you don’t know what kind of person Sabrina is. She’s very simple and hones
Having not seen her for a week, Ruth Mann had lost so much weight she looked like a different person. Sabrina didn’t have much affection for Ruth, so when she saw her looking all pitiful, she didn’t feel much surprise or sympathy. However, Yvonne rushed over and hugged Ruth’s arm. “Ruth, what happened? I haven’t seen you for two days, you look like you’ve lost ten pounds!”“I’m fine,” Ruth mumbled.Yvonne asked again, “Why are you here?”Ruth blinked and a glob of eye discharge dropped out of her eye, it seemed like she hadn’t been sleeping well. She wiped her face messily. “Yvonne, could you lend me a hundred dollars? I haven’t eaten in two days.”“Huh?” Yvonne looked at Ruth in shock. “What happened? Why don’t you eat at home? What about your parents? Aren’t they home?”Ruth answered bitterly, “They chased me out.”Yvonne was shocked. “Why?”Ruth bit her lip. “Because…”She glanced at Sabrina then stopped talking. She bowed to Sabrina respectfully, “Mrs. Ford…hello.”Sabrina
Ruth followed Yvonne and Sabrina, her self-esteem lower than ever before. Yvonne wanted to eat the buffet that cost a thousand dollars per person, and Sabrina really brought the both of them there.The restaurant was huge. There were so many choices that she didn’t know where to begin. The choices were luxurious, they served truffle, caviar, bluefin tuna. For the cheaper choices, there were fish roe, beef, and such. Yvonne and Ruth were stunned. Sabrina remained calm. She didn’t know much about food, she was happy as long as the food could fill her stomach so she didn’t have much desire for luxurious restaurants like these. But seeing Yvonne and Ruth picking their food excitedly, Sabrina was delighted. She never had many friends, nor was she good at making friends. But she craved friendship and she was always sincere to others. Just like right now, as long as Yvonne and Ruth were happy, it was worth it no matter how much she had to pay.When Ruth and Yvonne had chosen their dishes a
Ruth rubbed the little metal box with her hand and explained, her tone once again respectful. “Uhm, don’t think that this metal box looks old and dusty, but its contents are great. It’s…the oil made from baby mice.”Yvonne was shocked. “What…huh?”Sabrina was stunned too.Ruth gulped down a big spoonful of mushroom soup, chewing as she explained. “It’s made from baby nice, newly born ones, those that don’t even have fur yet. You soak them in oil for a few months, then filter the oil out.”Yvonne was confused. “What is this for? Say, Ruth, don’t tell me you eat such weird food! Most people put salt and pepper in their food, and you put oil made from baby mice!”Even if Yvonne said such words to her, Ruth didn’t grow angry. She didn’t have many friends either. The noble socialites like her cousin only saw her as a dog. But then in the past, Ruth didn’t take normal, everyday people like Yvonne seriously, so she never had any friends. Until yesterday, when her parents chased her out o
