Faint as the smile was, it was sufficient to warm the hearts of all employees in the entire Ford Group, especially the women."Hey, did you guys see the post on the official Ford Group social media accounts?""It's impossible not to notice it with all the chaos it stormed up! There hasn't been a new post for the past three years and the first post in such a long time turns out to be a photo of our self-restraining Director, who was never seen with a woman, with his wife. Aw, so sweet. The Director has shown me that when an unromantic chaste man starts showing his affection, all those men who drool over women everyday really cannot begin to compare.""I suddenly realize how much I love the Director!""What do you mean 'suddenly'? Haven't you always been into the Director?""Back then it was just a faint feeling, but right now I feel like I'm falling head over heels for him! I never knew the Director was capable of spoiling someone and now that I do, I...Oh, if only I get to sleep with h
Chapter 580
Sabrina looked around her as soon as she caught sight of the man, and as she had expected, the passersby had silently hid away or were simply silenced, their eyes widened in awe at his presence. It was almost as though the man who was leaning against the car lazily was the devil reincarnation himself. Even Yvonne and Ruth were stunned at his unannounced appearance.Once the initial shock had passed, Yvonne gave Sabrina a gentle push. "Um, Mrs. Ford, you...you should go first."Ruth nodded frantically towards Sabrina in agreement.Sabrina bit her lip and started walking towards Sebastian, her fingers laced together nervously."What's wrong? You're upset?" he asked, before opening the car door for her. Behind the two were countless people trying to take a peep at the rare scene, while some simply stood frozen in shock.Sebastian's arm automatically went up to Sabrina's shoulder to pull her closer after opening the car door, and she instantly twisted and shrugged his arm off, before getti

"It's nothing, really," Sabrina smiled gently."I have so much to thank you for, would it be possible for me to treat you to dinner?" the mother asked enthusiastically.Sabrina could never get used to being fawned over, so she simply bowed her head with a smile. When Aino came out of the classroom, she immediately went to take Aino's hand and left shortly after saying goodbye to the mother she was speaking to."Oh my, for a woman who is married to such a wealthy powerful man, she sure is humble," the woman exclaimed."I agree. It wasn't until now that I realized the higher the status someone has, the more humble they tend to be. Just look at Mrs. Ford, she is almost as approachable as the girl-next-door, while those self-absorbed women with much lower status act all high and mighty," another mother responded sarcastically.Not far away from them stood three wealthy women. They would often look down on others but after yesterday's lesson, none dared to utter a word. Wealthy or not, all

"Oh." Sabrina flushed and went back to being silent. She was certain that Sebastian was going to have full power over the arrangement of such an important occasion, she simply needed to make an appearance. Sabrina prided herself over being someone who knew her place and what was required of her, she would remain quiet like the trophy wife everyone expected her to be.She set her cutleries down after finishing her meal and said to Sebastian, "If you don't have anything else to attend to, spend some time with Aino. She hadn't had the chance to play with her father for days. You have been so successful in spoiling her that she doesn't even want to play simple games with me anymore. She apparently prefers spending time on brain teasers with you. I'm going to get some work done while you play with her. There are quite a few blueprints that I need to draw up."Sebastian set his fork down as well and asked curiously, "Do you like your job?""Of course I do!" she responded."To what extent?""

Until he settled everything? Was he trying to say that he was going with her...to the remote rural area where she once called home?"Didn't you say you are going to work on your blueprints?" he asked."Oh...right," she responded dazedly, before wandering off to her bedroom.That night, she burnt the midnight oil working on the blueprints till she had fallen asleep. When she opened her eyes, she was already nestled in Sebastian's arms. She struggled to get up, only to be stopped by Sebastian's chilling voice."If you don't want to tire yourself out at night and intend on getting some rest, I suggest you stay still. Move again and I can't guarantee that I won't punish you like I did yesterday."Sabrina immediately settled down, knowing that the man meant what he said.She slept in the safety of his strong arms all the way until morning, and found that the man had left the bed. She reached over to the side table to grab his watch and realized that it was six in the morning. What w

"Dig deeper!" Sebastian's voice reduced to a vicious rumble."Yes, Master Sebastian!""I want results as soon as possible! Everything else can wait!""Yes, Master Sebastian!"Sebastian stood thoughtfully on the top floor after ending the call, before finally heading down to the bedroom to find that Sabrina was already awake.She took advantage of waking up early in the morning and took time to go through a more comprehensive skin-care routine. The mark on her cheek from Linda's assault had faded and was barely noticeable. She applied a thin layer of the ointment Ruth had given her, and was surprised as to how effective the scentless ointment was. She then went ahead and applied a small amount of foundation and her face brightened up in an instant. She stepped out of the bathroom and saw Sebastian in his bathrobes. Though the makeup on her face was so faint that it was hardly even there, Sebastian immediately noticed the difference. This went to show how plain she looked most of the tim

Was it too tight? She considered absent-mindedly and for a moment, she was overwhelmed by the atmosphere and how their current interaction resembled that of an old married couple. An attractive pink climbed up her cheeks at the thought without any warning."Why are you blushing?" Sebastian studied her, puzzled. He refrained from doing anything to her for the entire day since yesterday. What could she possibly think of that could cause her to blush?"No-nothing!" she denied frantically and stuttered, "it’s the ventilation of the room. I can't breathe that well so I...I'm just going to go out now."Sabrina dashed off as soon as the last word was spoken, leaving Sebastian behind."When will she stop blushing at the most insignificant detail?" he murmured, "I guess she still couldn't get used to me. Who knows? Maybe she could become the most shameless person if I expose her to more experience of the sort."After a brief session of reflection on Sabrina's tendency to blush, Sebastian did no

Ruth startled and jerked forward. Both Sabrina and Yvonne turned around to find a woman in her fifties running towards Ruth.Ruth immediately hid behind Yvonne, her voice trembling as she was on the edge of a breakdown. "Mom, what are you doing here? It's already been two days. How can you still be angry at me? I came close to starving to death and Yvonne took me in. The Human Resources decided to forgive me and notified me to come back to work. I have my job back now and I really know how wrong I had been, can't you just let it go?""You incompetent idiot!" the woman cursed.Ruth froze at the foul language that was used against her. "What did you just call me, mom?""I called you an incompetent idiot! A shameless idiot! Give me those skin-care products!" the woman barked furiously.Despite her reluctance, Ruth extended her hands along with the bag in her hands towards the woman, trembling as she did. "Mom, are you going to give these to my cousin? I don't get it, why do you treat my c
