Ruth found herself stuck between the seat of the swivel chair and the bearing underneath. The chair was now tilted to one side, after collapsing from Ruth’s weight on it. Meanwhile, some of the metal components that had gotten loose had somehow penetrated her skin.As she bled, Ruth's posture looked even more ridiculous. She was half squatting, as if she was using the toilet. Furthermore, since her hips were stuck in the chair, Ruth had tried to grab the table with both hands to balance herself, but it only made her look more like she was having difficulty passing motion. Coupled with her wailing voice that sounded like a pig’s cry, the scene in her office was as ugly as it could possibly be.When her colleagues saw how Ruth looked in that position, they couldn't resist anymore and burst into laughter.As they laughed, blood kept flowing out of Ruth's back."Are all of you crazy?! Stop laughing and call an ambulance now. Call the police while you’re at it so they can catch this mis

To Sabrina, South City had always been nothing but a hotbed of trouble. It was a fact that she had known by heart ever since she first came here at the age of twelve. As such, Sabrina had learned that it was best to ignore situations like this.Since she had no choice but to live in South City for now, the only thing she could do was to stay calm and learn to be more forgiving. If she encountered unavoidable conflicts, she would deal with them accordingly. Right now, all she wanted was to do her job well. She didn't want to cause any more trouble if she could avoid it.Yet, as Sabrina said that, the other colleagues suddenly shrunk back into their desks at the same time. No one dared to open their mouths again after hearing her jarring words.Sabrina spent the afternoon at her desk, helping Linda proofread some of the first drafts she had given her. At one point, she got up to ask tentatively, "Linda, your designs...""Can you understand my designs?" Although Linda wasn’t audacious

“Can you drive?” Sebastian, who was sitting in the car, asked her.Sabrina was confused by the sudden question but answered anyway. “No.”Meanwhile, Kingston, who had overheard them, added, “Madam, in this day and age, when everyone owns a driving license, how come you can’t drive?”Just this morning, Kingston had been worried to death that his Master Sebastian would fire him. Yet now, just a few hours later, he went back to acting all chummy with Sabrina. Even Kingston himself didn’t realize how ballsy he had gotten recently. Still, his question made Sabrina pause for a moment. As she sat in the car without saying a word, her eyes betrayed a look of desolation. If any other newcomer had been faced with the same issues that Sabrina encountered at the company, they would definitely have quit at the first second.Not Sabrina.Ever since she turned twelve and spent her days being bullied and spat on in the Lynn family, Sabrina learned how to be resilient. If she ran away every time

Sebastian kept quiet as he waited for Aino to speak.Even though the little thing still called him Stinky Bum, she was clearly much more intimate to Sebastian now than when she first came to his home. Aino whispered into her father’s ear mischievously, "Daddy, I’ve heard what Mommy said in her dream before."He instinctively turned to Sabrina without saying a word.Noticing his glance, Sabrina looked at the father and daughter with a confused expression.Aino continued, "My mother was saying that she doesn't want to like you in her dream. However, I know what that actually means. She was trying to say that she likes you very much instead!"Sebastian was taken aback by her keen insight. This little thing!As expected of his daughter, the five-year-old girl could already see through the words and actions of adults. She had understood her mother’s thoughts very well, which was probably how she managed to ruthlessly kill three birds with one stone, including defending her mother's

Meanwhile, the car continued zooming ahead uncontrollably. Sabrina was flailing about in Sebastian’s arms, crying and screaming. In contrast, he didn’t panic at all. He simply held Sabrina tightly with one arm before grabbing onto the steering wheel with his other hand. His thin lips whispered soothingly in Sabrina's ears, "Don't be scared, don’t be afraid, I’m here. Let go of your foot."When she heard this, Sabrina started to calm down.At first, she couldn’t even bring herself to open her eyes. As Sebastian gradually steadied the car, she found the courage to raise her head a little and peek at what was going on. When Sebastian felt her flinching again, he quickly wrapped his arm around her tightly and steered the car with his other arm from the passenger seat.At that moment, Sabrina’s heart was pounding so quickly that she could even start to hear her own heartbeat.The car continued to drive a long way out. Since this particular road was used exclusively by learners, there
