Sabrina stood in the private room, unsure whether to sit or to stand.
She stood there awkwardly, feeling like her presence was unnecessary.
Yvette couldn't bear it. In the end, she said, “Mr. Nolan, Sabrina is still young and somewhat childish. Please don't punish her like this. I promise she won't make the same mistake again.”
Lucas gazed at Yvette with an emotionless expression. Despite her unsuccessful attempt to salvage the situation, he felt a hint of gratitude toward her for trying to help.
Lucas could tell that Yvette was a woman with strong moral values.
He felt thoroughly disappointed with Sabrina at the moment. The reason he chose her to join Section Six initially was because of her excellent computer skills.
However, her performance over the past two days had been quite disappointing.
Ashlyn's gaze turned cold as it fell upon Lucas' chest, which was now dampened by the fish soup. The scalding hot soup must have been unbearable, even for someone with a strong constitution.
Furrowing her brows, she said, “Follow me back to clean your wound and apply some burn ointment. It needs proper treatment.”
Lucas was taken aback, and a sense of being cared for welled up in his heart.
With an air of authority, Ashlyn firmly grasped his large palm and said, “Old-timer, I'll take him to apply the medicine. Go ahead and eat without me.”
Only then did Lucas realize what was happening. His body reacted swiftly by following Ashlyn.
As Ashlyn walked past Sabrina, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her eyes, which were a cold almond color, reflected a chilly stare. “Ms. Gray, I understand that you work in Section Six and I respect Lucas' decision to have you here. However, I want to remind you to be careful with your actions. If you continue to play little tricks, I may not be as polite next time.”
“Hey!” Sabrina glared at her, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed. “What gives you the right to warn me like this!”
