Chapter 8: Sabina, Long Time No See!
Shirley did not answer Bryan’s question and she spoke, “Firstly, you have to stop working by 6pm.”
“You have to go to bed and rest at ten. I’ll make sure you enter sleeping state at that time.”
“The normal sleeping duration for an adult would be seven to eight hours, therefore you have to get up
at six the next day.”
“Go for a 45 minutes morning jog and have meal at eight. Working time lasts from nine to twelve, one
thirty to two would be lunch time.”
“It starts from tonight onwards. You still have three hours and eight minutes for the meeting. You must
stop working at six.”
“No way!” Bryan pulled down a long face and slightly turned his head to the side. There was
unhappiness on his handsome face. Yet Shirley did not look at him at all, she quickly opened her
contact list from her phone and said, “I need to know your private phone number, work phone number,
home phone number, any information that I could use to contact you, including your assistant’s.”
The lift dinged and its door slowly opened. Bryan did not speak a word and he walked straight into the
lift to head towards the meeting room. Shirley quickly chased after him and shouted, “Mr. Moore, you
are my patient, you must cooperate with me!” How dare that woman order him with such an imperative
tone? He slammed the door shut upon entering the meeting room.
If Shirley was not fast enough to react, her nose would have bumped into the door. Jordan who was
standing next to her let out an awkward chuckle. He had followed Bryan for ten years, it was the first
time he had witnessed a woman being bold enough to talk to him like that. Even those psychologists
were all acting humble and they were scared of losing their job if they failed to please him. “Doctor
Thomas, I’ll bring you to Mr. Moore’s office.”
“Sure.” She turned around and continued when she walked behind him, “Then I’ll want you to tell me all
of your CEO’s phone number, if you don’t want to tell me, I’ll have to ask from Madam Moore.” She
believed no one would care more about Bryan’s health than Scarlett, his grandma. Although Jordan
looked a little troubled, he did not hesitate for too long. “Alright.”
Upon entering the meeting room, Jordan wrote down all of Bryan’s number and handed it to her. He
asked the secretary to make a cup of tea for her before he left Bryan’s office. The moment the door of
the meeting room was closed, Shirley quickly took out her other phone. She saw thirteen missed calls
when she turned on her phone. The first few calls were all from her two sweethearts, and Mildred and
Cameron Parker, the assistant Mildred assigned to her had also made one call each.
After sending Mildred a message as a reply and reporting her working condition there, she stood up
and walked towards the French window, making a call to Cameron. The call was picked up shortly. “Hi.
Miss Thomas.”
“Mr. Parker, are you at the Spennor Residence now?” The Spennor Residence was the villa district
Mildred allocated to her. Before Cameron could answer, his phone seemed to be taken away and
Emma’s voice was heard shortly after that. “Mommy, when are you coming back?”
“Mommy’s working, I’m afraid I won’t go back that early, you don’t have to wait for me for dinner.
Where’s Jacob?” Shirley gazed at the parliament tower opposite and her heart felt warm when she
heard Emma’s voice. No matter how tough was her work, as long as she thought of those two little
guys, she would feel that no problem was impossible to solve. “Jacob’s beside me, he misses mommy
too, but he’s too shy to admit.”
“Shut up, you’re annoying.” Shirley chuckled and Jacob’s voice was heard shortly too. “Mommy, could
you confirm with us the time you finish work?”
“I can’t at the moment, but please bring Emma to bed at ten. Don’t play games until too late.”
“You can count on me, mommy,” Jacob replied like a mature adult. “I’ll look after Emma.”
“Come on, you don’t know who’s looking after who.”
Her two kids were bantering again at the other end of the call. Shirley did not utter a word and she
listened quietly. Just then, another reflection showed up beside hers on the window. That face was too
familiar, her looks and expression were exactly the same as hers before she did the plastic surgery. It
was the enemy she hated the most—her good sister Sabina Thomas!
