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

“Scared?” Sebastian asked.Sabrina was at an utter loss for words. ‘Nonsense!‘You were always a temperamental man. One minute you’ll warm up to someone, before sending them to be cremated into ashes in the other.‘It would only be strange if a woman was not afraid to fall in love with a man like you.’However, Sabrina refused to give in just like that!Holding back the fear she felt towards him in her heart, Sabrina began to argue back, “You’re so temperamental, so how can I possibly guess what you’re thinking? It was you who decided to make our relationship public and used the Ford Group’s official social media page to announce that I am the director’s wife. Let me ask you then, as the wife, shouldn’t I at least have the right to ask where we’re going?”“Mmm. Just a few days of working in a comfortable workplace seems to have trained your tongue well,” remarked Sebastian cooly.He managed to leave Sabrina speechless without even looking at her.Not knowing how to continue

The two salesladies behind the couple looked at them in admiration while one of them even exclaimed, “Mr and Mrs Ford are truly match made in heaven!”Sabrina’s face started to turn as red as an apple. On the other hand, pretending not to notice, Sebastian held her hand in his as they walked through a quiet courtyard.Only then did Sabrina notice the high-end boutique before her eyes, which had the name “Sloane” displayed on the storefront. Sloane was a classic luxury brand. On top of that, it was an established name in South City.When Sabrina had just entered college, she was still living with the Lynn family. Back then, she heard them mentioning the brand when they were holding a coming-of-age ceremony for their precious 18 years old daughter, Selene. Jade had said, “Well, the Lynn family’s wealth and status has not reached that level yet. Otherwise, we would have ordered a cocktail dress from Sloane for our daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony. Even if she only owned a sing

Seeing how Sebastian was stunned, the two designers who had served Sabrina immediately tried to explain. “I’m sorry, Mr Ford. We… We actually… Actually, we selected the most extravagant dress that you had in mind for Madam, but she seemed to prefer this one. This is the lowest priced one out of all the dresses here.“It’s considered to be no-frills and does not come with any accessories at all.“However, I must say, Madam really does have a very good eye. Even though it's a lowly priced dress with a simple style, it still looks extremely good on Madam.”The first half of the designer’s words were an apology to Sebastian. However, he had begun genuinely complimenting her during the second half of his explanation.Sabrina really did have a really good figure, which made her look good in everything. Even though the designer had picked out the most luxurious styles and brooches in the store for her earlier, Sabrina said no to all of them. After trying them on, she felt they were
