Sabrina turned around to find the developer of her current construction project, the proprietor who had contacted her earlier, Neil.
"Director Johns, what brought you here?" Sabrina asked humbly as she looked steadily at Neil.
Neil was dressed in an exquisite suit that emphasized on his handsome features and athletic figure. His looks along with the fortune he held had made him one of the most eligible bachelors in the county with countless girls dying to crawl their way into the wealthy developer's heart. Had Sabrina run into a caring man like Neil back when she was studying in college three years ago, she might have been moved. But after everything, Sabrina only wanted to live her life in peace with her daughter and her brother.
"I wanted to invite you to dinner, but since you have returned home, I thought I could come over to check o n you." Neil lifted his hand that was holding the basket of fruits and flowers and explained, "I bought them for your daughter and your brother, do accept them."
Sabrina didn't know what to say.
"Johns!" Mr. Sullivan roared, all the while remaining i n his previous position on the mattress. "Don't you think for a second here that I will give up, just because you are here to back this woman up! I know you're
stinkin' rich over being the biggest real estate developer in this country, but let me tell you something, you have nothing on me! I ain't scared of you!"
"Did you come all the way here to blackmail civilians? " Neil looked over to Mr. Sullivan, his eyes filled with contempt. "If that's what this is, then this needs to be resolved in court!"
"You just wait and see!" Mr. Sullivan pointed a finger a t Neil furiously, before barking orders to the men that were carrying the mattress, "Get going, we are leaving for now!” And with that, the small crowd outside of Sabrina’s house was gone.
"Thank you so much for your help, Director Johns." Sabrina looked at Neil with indescribable gratitude. "If it was not for you, I wouldn't have known what to do about this. Never would I imagine that Mr. Sullivan would be so unreasonable. It was really just a small conflict between two children at the end of the day."
"Small countries like this usually have fierce people who are protective over their own. But don't you worry, I will see to it that this is resolved. Mr. Sullivan will not be giving you any trouble from now on." 1
