"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?""

"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

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

Footsteps echoed through the corridor as Sabrina spoke. Puzzled, she immediately put the tasks in hand aside and went out to the entrance of the Design Department office. The operation vice-director, the administration manager, the sales manager and all other members of the high management were gathering hurriedly towards them."What's going on?" Madeline, the woman who attempted to give Green Mountain Coffee to Sabrina as a gift, gazed out curiously and was instantly stunned by the appearance of the man standing by the door.Sabrina was already standing in front of the man by then. She peeped around before whispering, "What...what are you doing here? Why are you here in my office? You-""Is this your company?" Sebastian interrupted calmly with an emotionless voice."...No.""Well, then, why can't I be here?" he asked, "there are plenty of reasons I have to be here. The Ford Group is the client of this architectural design firm. As your client, it's completely normal for me to be here

Sebastian was absorbed into the single task of dabbing the handkerchief repeatedly on Sabrina's nose to wipe the sweat off in the gentlest manner possible, almost as though the little drops of sweat were living creatures and Sebastian was worried he might scare them. The tenderness in his motion combined with the boundless adoration towards Sabrina was the most solid proof to how precious she was to him.Everyone in the office gaped at the sight, while Sabrina remained composed. She still couldn't get used to it, but ever since Sebastian returned from Kidon City, he had been exceptionally attentive to Sabrina for the past two days. She suspected it was guilt-motivated, but he even went as far as to take a bath for her and made sure to clean even the most private area of her body with utter tenderness. After their bath, he would take the time to dry her hair for her, before carrying her to bed to sleep in his arms. She had already become so accustomed to the routine that she had found a
