In a cute outfit with her hair up in two buns, making her look youthful, Sabrina walked in.
"What took you so long? Was there traffic?" After hanging her bag on the rack, Sabrina flopped onto the sofa. "Guess who I bumped into today?" When Sabrina mentioned her encounter, James, who was making tea for her, paused.
"The dad of your son?" Sabrina glared at him. "What dad? My son has nothing to do with that man." "Okay, the sperm donor. Did he recognize you?" Sabrina rolled her eyes. "Yes, at a stoplight. He was in the car next toand recognized me. He even smiled in a weird way. I thought he was about to jump out and cover." "He even said I'm trying to look young in this cute outfit, even though I'm not young anymore," Sabrina said, annoyed. "Can you believe him? And his taste in cars is as bad as his comments." James handed her the tea and smiled. "Maybe he's still into you and followed you here. He could be parked outside watching right now." Sabrina nearly leaped up, panicking. She peered outside, feeling a bit shaky. "Do you see a Bentley out there with the plate WA953? I forgot my glasses and can't see clearly..." James checked and then nodded. "Yeah, he followed you." Sabrina looked distraught. "Can you helpplease? I don't want anything to do with him..." "If that's the case, why do you remember his plate number?" Sabrina blushed a bit. "Because that's my birthday..." "I think you still have feelings for him. Why keep avoiding him? Think about what's best for your son." Sabrina stayed quiet, her gaze lingering outside toward where the Bentley was supposed to be.
"Stop looking. I lied," James admitted with a shrug.
"So, he's not here? Why do you keep lying to me?" James didn't know how to respond He had known her for so long; how could he not feel something for her? Only he understood that she was just a polite diplomat, but to him, she was a quirky young woman. This charm might attract others, but not him. "And where's your little girlfriend? She's not here? Has she decided to move on?" Before James could explain, someone cdown the stairs, catching Sabrina's attention.
"Still the same?" Sabrina whispered to him, touching his arm, then l.ne louder, James, you said that girl wouldn't cto the office anymore. You broke your promise." She tugged at his arm, making her point. Even Esther, who knew the truth, was surprised.
James immediately started sweating. "No, you said..." "I'm not going to listen to your excuses. Kick her out!" Esther's lips twitched. "What's going on here?"
