Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas)

Chapter 1181 It Would Be My Pleasure

“If I were you, I’d be mortified and bury myself in a hole. As if I’d still be audacious enough to cause my boss trouble!” Sabrina snapped at Amber, and her scowl rendered Timothy stupefied.

Though he knew his assistant was shrewd, could typically hold her own, and didn’t need him to worry about anything, he never thought she had such a fierce side.

Not only was Timothy gobsmacked, but so was Amber, who couldn’t even refute the young woman. For the very first time, someone else had gotten the upper hand on her unruliness.

She glared daggers at Sabrina, looking like she wanted to swallow the young woman up. Her chest heaved from seething fury, and it took her a long time to find her voice back. “You b*tch, get out of my room! Get out!” she berated while pointing angrily toward the door.

At the same time, frustration flashed across Sabrina’s eyes as she overcame her anger and calmed down. As unpleasant as the old woman was, she was still Timothy’s grandmother, after all.

At that, she snuck a peek at Timothy, feeling conscience-stricken. Timothy naturally caught her gaze. However, he ignored it and fixed his gaze on Amber, speaking impassively, “Since you’re spirited enough to cuss people, you must be alive and kicking now. In that case, we shall not bother your rest anymore.”

With that, he left the ward with Sabrina trotting behind. As they walked along the corridor, the young woman felt apprehensive when she found Timothy looking expressionless.

I’ve upset him by crossing the line, haven’t I? At that, she strode closer to Timothy and apologized gingerly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Reinhart. I lashed out because I was livid. You can deduct my bonus if you’re upset.”

Timothy stopped in response, leading Sabrina to do the same while she drooped her head like a child who had misbehaved.

Just as she was waiting apprehensively for the ultimate judgment, Timothy’s deep chuckle traveled to her ears, and she looked up to find him smiling slightly, seemingly in a good mood.

“I didn’t think you had it in you,” praised Timothy as he looked at his dumbfounded assistant. “I knew you could hold your own at work, but I didn’t think you could hold your own in a fight too.”

At that, delight appeared in Sabrina’s gaze as she heaved a sigh of relief.

Evidently, her boss wasn’t upset over her behavior.

She rubbed her nose and explained with a smile, “I was really angry. You and Tessa are so nice, so how can she cuss you guys like this?”

Timothy nodded, which encouraged her to continue, “Also, I’ve seen one too many people like her in my life. Only by fighting violence with violence will they quiet down.”

“Seen one too many?” Timothy looked inquisitively at Sabrina. “Fight violence with violence?”

Looks like my little assistant has some stories.

Realizing she had let slip, she hurriedly corrected herself, saying, “I mean, you’re too gentle, Mr. Reinhart. Earlier, the most you’ve done was tell her to shut up. If it’d been someone else, they’d have ignored her entirely. Then, there’s Tessa. Though I haven’t interacted much with her, I’m sure she’s not the fierce type either. As such, that’s why your grandmother dares to bully you guys.”

Timothy thought Sabrina was right. He and Tessa weren’t the fierce type, and they couldn’t do anything that went against their conscience.

At that, he looked at his assistant and joked, “Seeing that you’re such a veteran, I should have you deal with this if something like this comes up again.”

“It’ll be my pleasure.” Sabrina beamed, happy that she could relieve Timothy from some of his troubles.
