"Why are you helping me?" Sabrina asked."Helping you? Haha!" Mindy laughed in contempt and said, "Why would I help you? I'll be very honest with you, you are prettier than most girls around, and you just kind of ooze like the type of cheap skank that men are naturally drawn to. Master Sebastian kissed you in public and my cousin had taken the initiative to talk to you. Both are proof that you are a woman who has the ability to seduce men of the elite community! I asked for you to play the role, so that my cousin, Master Sebastian and the others can see you for who you are. A cheap, disgusting low-born."Sabrina looked at Mindy as she finally realized what the woman had in mind, she wanted for Sabrina to make a fool of herself at the banquet. But to Sabrina, what was there to fear if there was money to be earned out of it?"Okay! I'll take it!" Sabrina answered decisively."It's settled then!" Mindy smiled.Sabrina did not return the smile and turned to leave without another look
"Who I am does not concern you. What matters is that I will never allow a woman like you to approach my grandson!" The Old Master Shaw scanned Sabrina up and down as he spoke. The sallow skin of the woman before him oozed exhaustion and it was clear that she was experienced with men. The makeup on her face could barely conceal her inferiority and the thick foundation on her face seemed to fall apart every time Sabrina spoke. All that with the outfit she was wearing had her looking like the definition of streetwalkers itself.‘How dare a woman like this try to seduce a man from the Shaw Family?’ he thought."Oh my, Grandpa Shaw, what a coincidence. What brings you here?" Mindy made a point to keep her tone surprised as she pretended to have finally caught sight of the old Master Shaw. She couldn't help but cast a glance over to Sabrina triumphantly and patted herself on the shoulders in her mind for creating such a masterpiece. She had Sabrina dressed in the custom with that makeup an
The old Master Shaw stood trembling in fury and was at a loss of words. It was not until Sabrina went into the fitting room when he finally said furiously, "I will have Marcus cut all ties with you! Don't you even think about getting any money off of him!" And with that, he turned and left.Mindy walked over to Sabrina with a pretentious smile and explained, "So sorry about that, Sabrina. I didn't mean for that to happen. I have no idea why my grandfather would come all the way here, maybe one of the servants had told him about this. Grandfather has been furious these past two days when he caught news that Brother Marcus has associated himself with some skank of unknown background, so he had been paying attention to where Brother Marcus and I go..."Her explanation was full of contradictions but Sabrina did not react to it. She looked at Mindy calmly and said, "I don't care about that. All I care about is that I get to work on that day at the cruise party and I get my ten thousand do
Before Sebastian's eyes was a blueprint that was drawn to perfection by hand, filled with detailed annotations around the edges in neat writings. The one in his hands was extremely similar to the one he had found outside Sabrina's room a few days ago, the only differences were that the draft he found was not as elaborated as the current one; and there had been a few amendments made to perfect it."Who brought this in?" Sebastian turned to ask the assistant next to him."Oh, this was brought in by the Conor Group director's assistant, Miss...Miss Scott.""Take me to her right now!" Sebastian commanded immediately."Yes, Director Ford."The assistant led Sebastian out from the meeting room and explained along the way, "Director Ford, Miss Scott is waiting at the reception so you should be able to see her right away.""Sure," Sebastian responded.Sabrina, who was previously waiting at the reception, was startled when she caught on to Sebastian's voice. ‘Why is it him?’ she thought.
"That bumpkin works way faster than those middle-age helpers out there, she is young and obedient. Have you ever heard a word coming out of her mouth the entire day so far. She just kind of runs errands for us buying lunch, milk tea, snacks and stuff, isn't that great?""I guess, but that face of hers is just too seductive. Haven't you realized that she looks prettier than both of us?""Pretty my ass! Haven't you seen what she has been wearing? She wore the same outfit three days in a row, I bet the clothes on her don't even cost above fifty bucks!""Hehe, hush! Here she comes."The people in the office immediately stopped their gossiping as soon as they saw Sabrina approaching. Sabrina had heard every single word, but she simply didn't care. Nothing mattered to her other than having a job and getting paid. She tidied up her belongings and remained silent for the rest of the day. She left the office the minute her shift was over and headed to Grace's ward to keep her company. Sabri
Nigel strolled over to Sabrina and said, "Sabrina, your nose is as sharp as bloodhound. How did you know that all the rich people are gathering here?"Sabrina did not address his sarcasm directly but instead smiled and asked, "Master Nigel, it's been a few days since I last saw you. Have you come by the office in the past few days?""You miss me?" Nigel asked."That's not...""Well, then why are you here?" Nigel's tone was slowly becoming slightly assertive but somehow remained cynical. "I haven't shown up in the office because I was busy arranging this cruise party. This is going to be a grand gathering with every single elite of the South City attending, obviously I have to be hands-on with the details."Sabrina was slightly taken aback and said, "I...I didn't come here looking for you.""No?" Nigel casted her a lopsided smile as he looked at Sabrina dressed in cheap clothing. "Don't tell me that you are here today for Master Shaw? If that's the case, I hate to break it to you,
Sabrina sat by herself in the cabin at the lower duck and studied the pile of customs in front of her. Each and every one of those customs were made of cheap fabrics that were worth less than even what one could buy from a night market. And most importantly, the customs were made with such small coverage that Sabrina could visualize just how disgustingly cheap she would look if she put them on. She contemplated for a while before finally picking a school uniform that was comparatively more conservative. Once she was dressed, the makeup artists helped her put on the most dramatically vulgar makeup that was humanly possible, before Sabrina went out with a waiting tray to find Mindy waiting.Mindy scanned her up and down before saying, "Oh, my, playing the innocent card now, are we? Just be sure to think through this, innocence doesn't get you tips." And with that said, Mindy took Sabrina's hand and brought her to a group of people from wealthy families with glasses of wine in hands."H
Sabrina raised her head and found herself looking at Sebastian. Her expression slowly shifted, unsure why he had appeared. Thinking rationally about it, however, there was no reason he shouldn’t be, given that the entire cruise was filled with rich kids anyway.Sebastian’s suit was wrapped tightly around Sabrina as he pulled her into an embrace, glaring at everyone else with a hostile expression.The bustling cruise had suddenly turned silent.There was no one on that cruise ship who was unafraid of Sebastian.Had this happened a month ago, very few would have even heard of Sebastian, much less afraid of him. However, in just a month, Sebastian had done away with Sebastian's brothers, seizing the position of highest power in Ford Group. As if that alone had not been enough, the highlight of the situation was that despite the sudden change in ownership of an entire conglomerate, there had not been any sign of turmoil or disarray within the company.That had been enough to show off
