Chapter 89
âMay I call you Tay in the future?â Sabrina asked me, smiling sweetly.
She looked just like an innocent white rabbit.
Hadnât Gordon told her to address me as Taylor? Why was she changing it? She was such a schemer.
Although I was berating her inwardly, I plastered on a smile and said, âAlright. You can call me whatever
you want.â
âYou and Gordie seem to have such a close relationship. Iâm so sorry for what happened just now. I didnât expect you to be in Gordieâs office,â she said.
If she hadnât mentioned it, I would have already forgotten, and now it made me feel very awkward.
1 smiled in embarrassment and said, âItâs alright. Weâre already an old married couple. As husband and wife, itâs natural for us to be intimate. You must feel the same way when dating someone, right?â
âThere were so many rumors about how the two of you didnât get on. Now it seems that the media was simply making things up.â
I donât know why Sabrina insisted on probing me about my relationship with Gordon.
What was she up to? Was she trying to extract some insider information from me?
âTheyâre the media. They had too much time on their hands, so they made it up. Things between a
husband and wife only need to be known by the two of them, donât you think?â
I was pretending to be friendly while tirelessly emphasizing how great my relationship with Gordon was. I wanted her to give up on coveting him.
âYes, Gordie is a kind person. Youâre very blessed to have married him, Tay.â
Sabrina looked up at me with her fair, clean face. She looked envious.
If it werenât for the fact that spoilers wererit allowed, I really wanted to tell her that she didnât need to envy me. She would soon take my place and receive all my blessings.

I gave her a superficial smile. As I did not want to talk more on such a silly topic, I shut my mouth and left
the rest to her imagination.
The elevator finally reached the first floor. I had never found an elevator ride to be so agonizingly long.
I couldnât help exhaling deeply as I walked out immediately. At that moment, Sabrinaâs phone rang
I heard the sound of her picking up the call.
âWhat did you say, Nathan? Youâre staying in Sobrough City, and youâre going to be a paralegal at Clark & Norman? Wow, is that true? Didnât you say that you couldnât find any law firms who wanted to accept you?â
It was a call from Nathan.
It seemed that Hector had done the favor Iâd asked of him. Nathan would stay in Sobrough City and become a paralegal at Shaneâs law firm, just as he wished.
I didnât know what Nathan said on the other end of the phone, but I heard Sabrina raise her voice one
octave higher.
âYour dad has agreed to let you buy a house in Sobrough City? Thatâs great! Are we going to look at houses now? Then come to my flower shop to get me, and Iâll go with you!â
Sabrina sounded delighted.
She couldnât even be bothered to say goodbye to me as she bounced past me while still on the phone. She ran quickly out of the Holmes Group building.
It seemed that Nathan hadnât just found a job. He had also persuaded his father to allow him to buy a house in Sobrough City. This was excellent news to Sabrina, who had always wanted to settle down here.
She was a young woman who had just entered society, after all. It was obvious that her hope had been reignited with Nathanâs news, which had made her waver in her determination to break up with him.
I thought it was great. Now, I was one step closer to breaking her and Gordon up:
I suddenly felt inexplicably happy as I watched Sabrina skip and bounce away. I couldnât help humming as
I walked over to my car.
I was about to drive away when Gordon suddenly called me.
âHave you left?â
That was the first thing he asked me after I picked up..
âIâm still downstairs. Whatâs the matter?â
âIâve never taken you out to dinner before. Letâs go out for dinner tonight.â
Gordon suddenly invited me over the phone.
