Ryan turned to look at Marcus with an annoyed expression. “Shut up! I’m trying talk to my staff member.”After that, without regard for the receptionist’s earnest admiration, he immediately changed his tone and said, “Girl, let me tell you this. If you ever think about such nonsense again at work, I’ll definitely fire you! From now on, do your job well. Don’t fill your head with romance and whatnot!”The receptionist responded meekly, “Yes, Director Poole.”When he saw Ryan hanging up the phone, Marcus started to ask again, “Are you still going to compete with your Uncle Sebastian then?”The flustered Ryan replied, “Get out of here!”“This is my car!” Marcus snapped back.The fact that he was right left Ryan speechless.After a few seconds, he declared with his teeth clenched, “I, the little young master of Poole family, will reluctantly sit in your car!”Though Marcus did not know how to react himself, the two of them decided not to bring up anything else related to getting o

Finally, the domineering director left. Nevertheless, Sabrina still felt indifferent about it. Regardless of whether Sebastian was here or not, she still worked as usual. After all, they ate together every day and slept together every night at home, so naturally, she didn’t feel afraid of him anymore. “Take care,” she said to Sebastian, while putting down the drawings in her hand.“Your tea will get cold. Remember to drink it,” reminded Sebastian. “Mmm.”“Also, remember to get up and walk after every half an hour. Otherwise, it won’t be good for your cervical spine,” Sebastian said again. “Mmm.”Her passive replies left Sebastian completely speechless.He really wanted to ask her, “Why is it that you can smile so brightly when you’re with your girlfriends, but have so few words to say when it comes to your husband?”However, he realised that if he did ask that, others could suspect that he was even jealous of women. As such, Sebastian thought it would be best if he kept

Sebastian did not even look at Ryan. However, that only made Ryan all the more fearful, to the point where he started to break out in cold sweat.Why was he back here again?Uncle Sebastian!Hades!‘What…You should not fool people like this. Weren’t you leaving already? Why are you back here again? Are you… Are you really that inseparable from your wife?’Despite his horrified expression, Ryan managed to force a smile and greeted him, “Uncle Sebastian?”“You are just like Selene,” Sebastian remarked calmly.Ryan quickly replied, “What… What did you say? The Selene that left here so shamelessly just now, with the filthy old shoes hung around her neck? Uncle Sebastian, how can you compare me to her?”He did not want to live anymore. “Uncle Sebastian, I… I am not here to see… to see Aunt Sabrina,” Ryan tried to explain, but his nervousness gave his true intentions away.“I am not here to see her either,” Sebastian said casually. It really hadn’t been part of his plan to catch

With rosy cheeks, Yvonne agreed, “Alright, Director Shaw.”As she watched this, Sabrina was completely speechless. What kind of person would forget her friend just like that after being smitten by love? Nevertheless, it made her feel relieved as well. After all, she knew what kind of person Marcus was. Although Sabrina did not like Old Master Shaw, she had to admit that his grandson was a very decent character, and had never fooled around with women. In fact, she could even say that Marcus was much more dependable than Nigel and Ryan when it came to romantic relationships.As such, if Yvonne could marry Marcus, it would be a happy ending for her. With this in mind, Sabrina started to smile when she watched the four of them walk off. “Your two best friends?” Sebastian suddenly asked.Sabrina turned to him and replied, “Not really best friends. Just acquaintances from work. Both of them have been quite kind to me, especially Ruth. She’s a very nice person.”Sabrina concealed

There was an old saying that went like this: We want what we can’t have.When this woman, Ruth, had acted high and mighty in the past, she made people feel disgusted just by looking at her. Yet, since she wasn’t all that qualified either, most people didn’t just look down on her, but had resented her as well. Especially her subordinates, who were infuriated by her arrogant behaviour, but did not dare to speak up. On the other hand, the truly wealthy young men of South City, like Ryan and Marcus, would not even let this unrefined woman into the corner of their eyes. To them, she wasn’t even worthy of being compared to a servant.However, things were different at this moment.Ruth behaved cautiously, and endured everything without saying a word. Unlike her past self, she humbly accepted her own inferiority.In fact, that silent but unyielding patience of hers was somewhat similar to how Sabrina had acted when she was being ostracized.The only difference being that Sabrina had n

It was just like a relationship between an older and younger sister. When Ruth had first joined the company back then, she was bewitched by her cousin, who made her believe that she was the lady of the company. In reality, however, he had just been flattering her. In any case, Ruth was just a stepping stone whom he could instantly dispose of after using. Yet Ruth, not knowing the complexity of such matters, wasn’t aware of her own shameful behaviour. She had simply acted domineeringly at the firm all day long. Because of that, she didn’t have any real friends there, and all the other employers despised her. This was unlike Yvonne, who had a pleasant attitude and easily established camaraderie with others. Many people in the firm enjoyed talking to her, and even her superiors had a good impression of her. Therefore, once she saw the window of opportunity, Yvonne immediately held onto Marcus. Perhaps she could also become a rich wife of high society like Sabrina one day.The

Madeline and Lena felt extremely embarrassed but they had nowhere to hide. All the other employees who were sitting next to them glared at the two women with disdain.Sabrina, however, had a calm expression on her face. Back at the office, she hadn’t smelled Madeline’s intensely strong perfume, which caught her by surprise now. Since her nose was easily irritable, she could not stand the scent of it at all. “Mrs Ford, won’t you…just give us a chance to turn over a new leaf?” Madeline sounded aggrieved. “I know we have made mistakes in the past, but didn’t we make up for them? I even brought you the Green Mountain coffee as a way to extend my apology, and yet you won’t even bat an eye at us?”The more Madeline got closer to Sabrina, the more she tried to move away.When she saw this, Madeline started to look even more aggrieved. “Do you… Do you really hate me that much? You could even forgive Ruth, who once tried to hit you with the sole of her shoes. You’re even friends with h

“I’ll also take my work seriously and be more humble. To have a clear conscience.”When Ruth said that, she felt shy and started to blush a little. It had to do with her character. Deep in her heart, she was actually a girl with low self-esteem, which showed when she was being oppressed by her cousin. However, because of her arrogance in the past, Ruth had always tried her best to cover it up.Now that she had finally realized her wrongdoings and started to humble herself, she was left with her low self-esteem exposed. It was Sabrina who tried to console Ruth. “It’s alright, you’ll get better at it.”Ruth nodded her head slightly. “Thank you.”After that afternoon and in the following days, Sabrina’s work life returned to normal. Selene did not come to the company to harass her. In fact, Sabrina did not hear any news regarding her at all. Even though she knew very well in her heart that Selene wouldn’t just let things go after humiliating herself so badly here, Sabrina di
