Returning Sebastian's gaze, Sabrina smiled bashfully.
Her smile was a sincere one, radiating a kind of liveliness.
Sabrina's work had gone very smoothly that day. Possibly due to the laptop Sebastian had given her, her efficiency at work had increased. When she submitted her drafts over to the designers in the office, they had all been shocked silent.
They had all thought of her as someone who did simple odd jobs, even assuming that she would not know her way around a computer. They had never expected for her drafts to be done so professionally. It was so well done that even the notes by the sides were extremely detailed and useful.
The designers had not dared to cause any more trouble for Sabrina that day.
Leaving work early, she headed over to Aunt Grace's ward. As the pair chatted, Sabrina told Grace that Sebastian had been treating her extremely well over the past two days. Not only had he bought her pretty clothes, he had even gifted her an amazing high-spec laptop.
Grace pulled on Sabrina’s hand as she smiled. “Sabbie, I told you that my son was a good man. He may not talk much, but he is a very responsible person. I
guarantee you, Sebastian will slowly grow to like you.
"Do you know why?"
Sabrina really did not.
She searched for an answer. Why had Sebastian had such a huge 180 degree change in attitude toward her?
Grace then continued, "Sebastian really hopes to find someone who would carry on my mantle, that there would be someone who enjoyed designing buildings just as much as I do. If there really was such a girl, he would definitely like her. 1
"That's because for a very long time, he got to live and eat well. He got to stay overseas, receiving an excellent education, all thanks to the construction design work I did for others. It allowed me to bring him up and pay for his exorbitant school fees."
Sabrina was speechless.
She had finally understood why Sebastian had taken such a huge shift in attitude toward her.
That was why, the moment she saw him again, Sabrina suddenly felt like her heart had been cleared u p. Her smile to Sebastian was an honest one.
