It merely took Sabrina a few seconds to reply to Sasha.
Sabrina: I’m currently at Summerbank.
Sasha: Huh? What are you doing there? Haven’t you promised to pick us up from the airport? I have been waiting for you!
Sasha was startled when she found out Sabrina was away since Sabrina promised to drop by the airport and called to confirm their estimated time of arrival the day before.
It wasn’t much of a big deal if she wasn’t at the airport, but why the hell is she out of town? Most importantly, she’s at Summerbank!
Sasha: What are you doing at Summerbank?
Sabrina: It’s nothing special. I mean, do you really need me when there are so many people to keep the family company?
Sasha: What do you there are a lot of people to keep the family company? Apart from Sebastian and Karl, there’s no one there to help us with our luggage!
Since Sasha was in a hurry to explain herself, she couldn’t include everyone who had made it to the airport.
Soon, her sister-in-law stopped engaging herself in a conversation with her as if she had disappeared into thin air again.
Well, I guess I’ll just forget about it until I meet her in person again. After all, she’s free to do anything she wishes since she doesn’t really have much of a commitment.
Sasha thought it was nothing and put her phone aside, returning to join the rest of her family.
Unbeknownst to her, Sabrina was currently in a café located in the courtyard of Summerbank.
She was in the middle of a blind date, but the color had long drained from Sabrina’s face.
The man opposite him asked when he saw her face turning pale and haggard, “Ms. Hayes, is everything fine? Why do you seem so pale?”
The man wasn’t half bad in terms of look. In fact, he was considered to be above the average of his peers. He resembled Solomon in terms of look with his gold-rimmed glasses.
However, there was something odd about the way he carried himself. She felt as if he had gone through countless lessons to groom himself and thought that might have something to do with his identity as the heir of a political figure.
A few seconds of silence later, she replied, “I’m fine.”
The man asked with a smile, “Shall we go catch a movie at the cinema? I’ve just found out there’s a new movie screening today!”
“Okay…” Sabrina answered as if she couldn’t care less of their upcoming agenda.
A few minutes later, the duo made their way out of the café and hopped in the Maserati at the entrance, heading towards the cinema.
She thought it was about time to stop dwelling in the past and to move on since things didn’t work out for her.
