LOGINAuthor's POV. ~The next day~Sabrina sat in her company's cafeteria, her legs crossed, one of her arms resting on the chair beside her. She was waiting for her client who Tina had set up a meeting with. “Goddamn, she's getting late…” Sabrina muttered, her gaze turning to her wristwatch. The meeting was scheduled to be by twelve noon. But half an hour had passed since then. The door to the cafeteria creaked open, and Sabrina, hoping it was who she was expecting, turned to look. It was yet another customer who had come to dine, not Margaret. Frustration was already creeping into Sabrina's whole body, but she decided to be patient. Five more minutes….Ten…Twenty….Then she arrived. She walked in elegantly like she owned the place, a smile plastered on her face. The way Sabrina was sitting didn't change because of her presence, she only watched as she settled down into the chair. “I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I was caught up with training some newbies at the company” she said
Sabrina's POV. I didn't let the woman walk out before I walked back in, a huge smile on my face. “Did I take long?” I asked, grabbing her attention. She was still in front of the safe and she stepped back, startled. Her hand clicked the red button on her phone screen, ending the call and I acted like I didn't notice. I asked. “Do you still want to look around more?” “No, that's enough. Thank you” She stepped out and I followed behind her. “You've done enough, Miss Sabrina.” Christ, it's Mrs. McCorkindale, but I didn't correct her again. “You should get back to your office, I wouldn't want to stress you” “Of course, you should be able to find your way from here” I smiled. “I'll reach out to you concerning more details on the dresses you requested for” I turned back and walked elegantly back to my office. Tina followed me in and the moment I got in, I groaned.“That little parasite!” I seethed. “Did she think…..” *She could play me?* But I didn't voice the rest of the words o
Sabrina's POV. I didn't let it show on my face that I recognized her, but I knew without a doubt that her presence here has something to do with Haynes. With a welcoming smile, I said. “ Yes, let's talk business” “This way to the office” Tina stepped in, ushering her down into the company towards the elevator. It took a few minutes before we got into my office. I sat behind the desk, swirling the chair in a slow circling motion and the woman sat across from me. The moment she settled down, I noticed her looking around everywhere like she was trying to mark a territory. I said nothing. But only watched. Suddenly, her gaze returned to me. “I'll need uniform dresses for my company” “I run a modelling company, and we have a show coming up.” She stretched her hand to me. Inside it was a business card I took from her without hesitation. “The models need to be in matching dresses” I was still listening to her, though my face was now fixed on the card in my hand. I examined it, trie
Chapter 118Sabrina's POV. It's the day Lilith gets discharged. I finished up everything I needed to do within an hour, and called Lilith before I left the house. “Hey, sister-in-law,” she called. “I'll take that as good morning” I said with a rushed tone. “Anything you'd like me to bring to the hospital?” “Wait…. You are willing to change this dress?” “Of course” I responded casually. “Since the only princess of the McCorkindales is complaining, what choice do I have?” For a moment, she cooed, not expecting that. I rolled my eyes even though she couldn't see them. She wasn't coming from an overseas trip, but a goddamn fucking hospital ward. Yet, she wants to be dolled up so nicely like she was never sick. “Get me a designer dress, the brand doesn't matter” she said. “A bouquet of flower, and my favorite takeout meal” I was getting angry, or rather, frustrated. How can she ask for a designer cloth because she's getting discharged? A bouquet? Acceptable. And the takeout meal…
Lilith's POV. Lilith was the first to laugh. “What had suddenly gotten into you?” She asked. “Suddenly interested in gists?” I only smiled. They kept talking and I realized they were talking about hospitals. How painful injections could be, and how much it hurts to see their loved ones sick on the bed. The moment they mentioned that, my eyes moved to Luca. Mom noticed before I could stare at him for long. “He'll be fine, sweetheart” “Of course” he'll be fine. Two hours later, it was already late. I wanted to escort Mom, at least until she got a cab, but when she told me she was going to head home with me, I blinked. “I'll be staying here overnight. You can head home, I promise to pay you a visit by weekend” The look on Mom's face told me she was going to decline, but before she could even talk, Lilith spoke. “You don't need to stay, you've barely slept for three days, I'll take care of him tonight” No. Not allowing that. “I’ll—” Mom's voice cut mine off before my words co
Sabrina's POV. “Change into this. It's the best cloth I think would suit you from all of the dresses I have” I laid the dress bare in front of Lilith who stared at it with an expressionless face. I folded her clothes neatly and tucked it into the bag I had brought. “This looks old fashioned” she bickered. I paused and for a moment, rolled my eyes. “You heard me, Lilith. I found you the best I could find” “You could have gotten a new dress. Or bring me one of your gala dresses” she said. Was she being serious right now? Yes, and she was being ungrateful. Two days had passed. Lilith had gotten much better, and according to the doctor and her health chart, she could get discharged tomorrow. I brought her my gown, since there was none of her clothes at my place and the McCorkindale’s mansion was too far to reach. I mean, why go through the hassle when she could just fit into my dresses to make it through the lobby of the hospital into the car that would drop her right into her gr
Sabrina's POV“What the hell do you think you are doing, Camilla?” Haynes roared, his voice hoarse.Camilla chuckled and stood from where she was sitting. That was when I realized that she had a gun in her hands.I trembled slightly.She walked to Haynes, slowly and elegantly.She swirled the gun
Haynes POV Just when I let Lilith go, Norman's call came in.“I sent a document to you sir, please check” he said.I hummed a response and ended the call. After getting my phone down from my ears, I checked the message he had sent. The document. I opened it and it entailed details on the people
Sabrina's POV“Eat lunch before you leave,” Grandpa said, bringing me out of my trance.Luca's eyes trailed after him as he walked to the dining area.He followed, and so did I.The meal was set, probably before or while the illegitimate son paparazzi was going on.Grandpa didn't say another word,
Haynes POV“What have you found out?” I asked Norman the moment he came into the office.The greetings were skipped as those things weren't important right now.“The trust funds entails trillions of dollars, sir.” He said. “And there is a hard drive which could only be used to access the encrypted
