Her lips parted as she realized that only Gabriel could use it. But as his wife, she could. However, no one knew it yet so she had no right yet to use it. “Where are you going anyway? You cannot just come in without–” “Mrs–” Gabriel’s executive assistant cleared his throat, “Miss Bennette, the CEO is waiting for you..” he said then looked at the receptionist. “There’s no need for a pass. You can go back to your station now”The receptionist nodded before hastily strode back to her station. Meanwhile, Harold pushed the private elevator’s button and gestured for her to get in. “Can I?” She asked innocently. Then she couldn’t help but glance to where the receptionist was and caught her looking at her sharply. The corner of Sabrina’s lips curved. Then confidently, she sashayed her way inside the lift. As they reached the top floor, Harold let her step out first before he followed. “Jannette, please get Miss Bennette a coffee. No sugar,” Harold ordered the secretary. Sabrina scowl
The sound of a loud slap echoed inside the emergency exit. Anthon quickly stumbled backwards in shock as he covered his cheek that was hit. “Who gave you permission to kiss me?!” Sabrina threw him a very sharp look after wiping her lips. She wanted to spit as she felt disgusted with his kiss, but there was no trash bin there. “I’m your boyfriend. I can kiss you whenever I want to!” Anthon hissed while mending his stinging cheek. Sabrina wanted to slap him again for being delusional. But then she remembered what she told him when they were in the same place the other day before she went home. She said okay when he asked her to take him back. But of course, she did not mean it and was just actually part of the plan for her revenge. Pressing her lips, she took a step back again. “I just gave you another chance, but that didn’t mean I accepted you as my boyfriend again,” she stated. Although she already had it planned, just thinking about taking him back after all the things he had
Sabrina woke up alone again. Last night, after taking a shower, she found the bedroom empty. And before she fell asleep, there was no Gabriel showed up. She was starting to think that her husband just said that they were sharing a room but in reality, he was just using the master bedroom to change and then sleeps in one of the guest rooms. Running her fingers through her hair, she shook off the thoughts and got up from the bed. After doing a morning routine, she then went downstairs for breakfast. “Morning,” Gabriel greeted. Sabrina frowned, shocked as she did not expect to see him there. She thought he already left or would join her for breakfast just like the other day. “Good morning, Madame,” the butler and maids greeted her as well. “Good morning,” She replied. The butler pulled the chair for her while the maids immediately served her breakfast. “Thank you,” she muttered as she seated. The maids also served Gabriel which made Sabrina’s eyebrows furrowed. “Did you wait
“Gab?” a soft and sweet voice called Gabriel’s name. Sabrina pressed her lips tightly as she watched Elizabeth show up from the dining room. “Sab, Eli came back here to apologize,” Gabriel explained before he stepped to her side and turned to the woman. “Eli..” “Sorry about earlier. I was just overwhelmed,” Elizabeth muttered. Sabria’s eyebrows raised. Even though she was not good at reading people, she still could tell that the woman’s apology was insincere. In response, she faked a smile as well, “Overreacted you mean?” Sabrina almost chuckled upon seeing Elizabeth’s glare. She knew the woman wouldn't be able to keep up her pretense as she already saw her unbothered showing her rude side in front of Gabriel. “I’m not here to argue with you. Let’s forget what happened earlier, okay?” Elizabeth retorted. ‘First impression lasts,’ Sabrina wanted to say. But since she was not the type to start a fight, she just kept those words to herself and did not say anything any
“I’m here to apply for a job,” Sabrina stated. The guy behind the desk lifted his head and fixed his glasses. Just like her last memory of him, his face was still void of emotion while his lips pressed in a thin line. Sabrina fidgeted with her fingers. Years had passed but still, she didn’t know what to do after saying her intention. For years of working with him before she worked at M Corp, she only heard a few words that literally came out from his mouth. Silence stretched, leaving Sabrina wondering what his stares mean. Until finally, Jacob broke the silence by tapping his desk with the mechanical pencil he was holding. Sabrina tilted her head, trying to decipher what he wanted to say. But no matter how much she squeezed her brain, she still couldn't get it. “I’m sorry, boss?” she smiled apologetically. Jacob’s eyebrow pulled together. Right then, he lifted his hand as if asking for money. Deciding whether she was slow or her former boss became more difficult to understand
Gabriel didn't come back for dinner which disappointed Sabrina. She was waiting for him so they could discuss what she wanted to add in the agreement contract. But she had already revised the agreement thrice and still no Gabriel showed up.That evening, Sabrina stayed up till late night until her eyelids felt heavy. Eventually she fell asleep waiting for him to come home with the papers in her hand. Morning came and as soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately checked if Gabriel was there. But to her dismay, the left side of the bed was empty and there was no trace that someone had slept there. Sabrina didn't know why she was disappointed though. They were not a real couple and even if their marriage was real, them being together was only bound with a contract with no feelings and attachment.They’re there to use each other, she reminded herself. Standing up, she took a quick shower and wore a simple dress. Since Gabriel was not there, might as well just go to her parents' hou
Gasping loudly, Sabrina immediately crossed her arms over her chest. She felt exposed in front of Gabriel even though she’s wearing an oversized shirt. “Is that how you dressed when you were still living with your ex?” he queried. His voice was deep and calm, but there was a hint of coldness in it that made Sabrina shivered. Awkwardly, she lowered her eyes while biting the bottom of her lips, avoiding his gaze. “Y-yes,” she answered. She had no idea why she was nervous. It was just normal for a woman who lived with her boyfriend to be that comfortable. But somehow, Gabriel questioning it made her feel like she committed a huge crime even though Anthon had never really seen her wearing only a shirt without anything underneath. Although they lived on the same roof, they slept in a separate room and never once Anthon took advantage of her. Sabrina's lips pursed. Come to think of it, maybe the reason as to why nothing happened to them was because Anthon never got attracted
“No way!” Elizabeth screamed. Furiously, she walked towards them and pulled Sabrina’s hair.“Ouch!” Sabrina was surprised at the attack. She was not expecting it as she was still in trance by Gabriel’s sudden introduction of her. “Elizabeth!” Joseph's voice thundered. Meanwhile, Gabriel went between them and grip the woman’s wrist tightly causing her to squeal in pain and finally let go of Sabrina’s hand. “Get the fvck out of here before I could hurt you!” Gabriel roared as he wrapped his arms around Sabrina securely. “Gab! Why are you doing this?! I’m your fiancèe!” Elizabeth exclaimed. “Kick that slut out of here quick!” “Eli! Enough!” Joseph held her sister’s arms to stop her from coming to her. Sabrina’s mind was in haze. She was confused at the sudden turn of events. Wasn’t Elizabeth just treating her like a ghost earlier? Why did her attention focus on her all of a sudden?!“You know what I’m capable of doing when I’m mad, Joseph,” Gabriel said in a warning tone. “Let’s
Sabrina frowned as her gaze landed on the newcomers. Her body froze upon seeing the woman strutting confidently towards them. Although she just saw her once, Sabrina couldn’t be mistaken and was very certain that it was the same woman who was rumored to be Gabriel’s fiancèe. ‘What is she doing here?!’ her mind was screaming. “What are you doing here?” Gabriel repeated as if he could read her mind. Frowning, Sabrina glanced at her husband and saw him looking genuinely surprised as well. It must be too shallow of her, but knowing that he as well did not expect the woman to come over made her feel a little relieved. . .for some reason. “I’m here to visit you, what else?” the woman smiled flirtatiously, “I hope you don't mind that I brought my friends as well,” she added then looked at her three friends behind her and winked at them. Sabrina’s forehead creased. It was already overwhelming for her to meet Joseph unexpectedly and upon seeing there were more strange people sud
