Sabrina was indeed in a pickle. She made arrangements and communicated with the clients. She appeared surprised when Nelson showed up.
He was attractive, and the dark suit accentuated his muscular build. His jawline was rather tense, and his gaze piercing when he stared at her. That effectively ruined her mood to swoon over him.
Ronaldo jogged over. Seemingly trying to score some points for his friend, he announced, "Sabrina, Nelson is here to help."
Was Nelson there to help?
If he truly intended to help, he would have followed her into the factory from the start. His delay only suggested that he had come to help after being scolded by Shannon.
She didn't want his reluctant help. "I can handle this on my own."
A deep frown appeared on his face after she rejected his offer to help. "This concerns the Tucker Group. You shouldn't throw a tantrum about it."
"Throw a tantrum? Why does he always think I'm up to no good and throwing tantrums?" she mused, seething.
To him, she was probably an unreasonable, cunning woman.
She couldn't be bothered to explain herself and proceeded to leave. Looking upset, Nelson grabbed her wrist and snapped, "What's with that attitude?"
Feeling the pain in her wrist, she tried to withdraw her hand, but he gripped her wrist harder as he glowered at her.
She snorted, "This is the attitude you've been giving me for three years. Why? Do you find it unbearable after experiencing it just once?"
He was caught by surprise.
Sabrina mustered all her energy to break free from his grip. Then, she massaged her reddened wrist and marched into the office, leaving Nelson scowling behind her.
He had never expected such a sharp retort from Sabrina, who loved to stick around him in the past. It was frustrating.
Ronaldo was similarly stunned. He scratched his nose. "Is this the Sabrina I know?"
Before this, she'd always cook Nelson's favorite dishes and waited for him at home when she learned that he was back in the country.
