Chapter 14: Her Scheme That Had Lasted for Six Years
Sabrina took out her phone and launched the Weibo app with her trembling hands upon hearing the sarcastic remarks coming from the employees.
Much to her surprise, the footage of her staged performance in Bryan's office had been uploaded to the internet, and the view counts had been climbing rapidly while the comments in the comment section underneath the video had been increasing at breakneck speed as well.
"Which drama is this outtake from?"
"Her acting skill is marvelous."
Sabrina's face turned ashen after realizing the severity of the issue at hand and the reason for Bryan's indifference towards her. It was mostly certain that he had seen this video for him to act so callous towards her.
She looked up and hurriedly tried to grab his clothes, but Bryan had managed to avoid her clutch by retreating quickly as he frowned at her with a look of abhorrence, "Don't touch me."
Sabrina staggered to her feet as his reaction had dealt a huge blow to her.
These three words were undeniably the harshest sentence that he had said right to her face over the past six years.
Although he had always been distant from her, he would still agree to every request that had been raised by her, but today... Sabrina could vividly feel that his temper had turned on a dime at this moment, and all of this was due to the woman in front of her.
If she had introduced herself as Dr. Thomas beforehand, Sabrina would not have to go this far, so it was all because of her that things had turned awry.
"Listen to me, Bryan. I've recently signed on to act in a new drama, and it just so happens that one of the scenes requires me to act against the supporting actress in an office setting. However, I can't seem to find the feeling for it, so when I have laid my eyes on...'
"So, Miss Thomas has treated me as your object of role-play when you are making a scene just now." Shirley tilted her chin and was this close to applauding Sabrina for her ingenious spontaneity and impromptu response. Did she really think that Bryan was a fool though?
It seemed like Sabrina was still playing games with him even after six years had passed by.
Sabrina put on an awkward smile and said, "Yeah, it's merely a spur-of-the-moment acting after I've been inspired by the scene and circumstances just now, so..."
"You're an actress!" Shirley cut her off again as her eyes darkened, and her red lips fluttered as she continued, "But I'm not."
"Not everyone present here is a fool. Our deal will only last thus far as I'm calling it off now, Mr. Moore. This is the statement for the total costs of the time and medicine that I have spent on you, so please transfer the amount to my account ASAP after you've processed it. As for the money that you have invested in the hospital, it would be entirely nonrefundable. You have wasted my time and ruined my mood." She promptly took out a pen and a piece of paper from her bag to write down a bunch of zeros, and after she had shoved it into Jordan's suit pocket, she turned around and walked away at once.
All the employees on the spot had suddenly come back to their senses when they saw that Shirley had taken her leave in that manner. Jordan seemed to have mentioned the psychiatrist, Dr. Thomas, in his words just now, but all of them had missed that out as their focal point of attention was not on her since they were too engrossed with the video earlier. They had only managed to come around now that the said psychiatrist had proclaimed the 'dismissal' of their boss right before their eyes.
The woman that Miss Thomas had offended turned out to be the renowned psychiatrist whom had been engaged by the Moore family, Dr. Thomas!
She was Dr. Thomas!
The animosity in everyone's gaze on Sabrina had grown even more, and those whom had tried to ingratiate themselves with her earlier could not refrain from sighing at her impending fate as those whom had displeased the Moore family had always come to no good in the end.
Bryan lowered his head to glimpse at his watch, and after casting his glance towards the direction that Shirley had taken her leave, he promptly turned around and went back into the conference room. Jordan gave Sabrina a final warning with his hands placed at his back, "It is Madame Moore whom has personally called the dean of the hospital to discuss the engagement of Dr. Thomas as Mr. Moore's psychiatrist, and she has even invested tens of billions of yuan for the expansion of the hospital just to get her here. Before the conference has started, Dr. Thomas has successfully put Mr. Moore to a peaceful sleep for six whole hours, so Madame Moore is well pleased with her ability. However, Dr. Thomas has rejected the offer to work with the Moore family because of what you have done, so if Mr. Moore's health were to be affected due to her resignation, I'm afraid all the combined assets of the Thomas family would not be sufficient to cover this debt. From now on, please behave yourself."
Sabrina's countenance could no longer be described as pale as she had turned colorless, and even though she still looked captivating on the outside, the subtle changes in her facial expression had contorted her malevolent face.00000000
