Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1291

In the end, Timothy simply gave up on his work. and shut his eyes to rest behind his desk instead. After a while, he heard a knock on his door. Sabrina entered the room in her usual formal and smart outfit. “Miss Neilman told me that you were looking for me, Mr. Reinhart, she murmured.

Timothy opened his eyes to find himself staring at the young lady, who looked especially dainty. and bright that day. He felt frustrated for some reason. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were taking half the day off?” he asked in a rather rude tone. Sabrina was about to explain herself when Timothy continued lecturing her. “I don’t care what your reason is, but I don’t want to hear of you leaving work to engage in non-work- related matters in the future!”

Sabrina froze when she realized how agitated Timothy seemed to be. She was surprised at first, but she then felt a surge of joy as she thought, Does this mean that Timothy actually cares about me? With that thought in mind, she tried to test him out. “Do you know why I took half the day off, Mr. Reinhart?”

“You went on a blind date when you were supposed to be working! Who permitted you to do that?” Timothy barked at Sabrina. He didn’t seem to realize the hopeful twinkle in her eyes. Sabrina hastily explained herself when she realized that the man had misunderstood her. “My family made these last-minute arrangements and I simply couldn’t reject them. I promise this will not happen again,’ she said.

“I don’t care if there’s a next time. You don’t have to explain yourself to me!’ Timothy hissed. Sabrina’s heart sank when she saw the icy look on the man’s face. Did he say that he doesn’t care? So, he’s not bothered at all.

“I got it. I won’t do this again,’ she replied with her head hung low. “Do you have any other orders, Mr. Reinhart?” she asked in a more formal tone.

For some reason, Timothy felt even more frustrated when he saw the way that Sabrina was acting with him. “It’s fine. Just go back to work,” he ordered with a sour look on his face. Sabrina nodded and left the room after that.

As such, Timothy was the only one left in his office. A glum look flashed across his eyes as he sat alone behind his desk. He felt terrible. He had intended to use his work to distract himself from his feelings, but he couldn’t seem to do that at all. His work efficiency was horribly impacted that day. He only managed to go through all his documents by the end of the day, and he massaged his temples once he was done. “Is it because I didn’t get enough sleep last night?” he mumbled to himself.
