Chapter 1353
Sabrina didn't seem fine when she said that.
Tessa noticed it and frowned. "Where's Tim? Why did he let you meet a business partner
by yourself?" "He..." Sabrina was merely able to blurt one word as she didn't know what
else to say.
Johnnie, who was beside her, recognized Tessa and Nicholas, hence he dared not act
inappropriately.
"Hello, President Sawyer, Miss Tessa." After greeting them, he offered to leave sensibly.
"Miss Gulliver, since you met your friends, let's discuss our deal another time."
After saying that, he scrambled away.
As she watched the man scurrying off, Tessa suddenly recalled Sabrina's silence and
knitted her brows tighter. "What's wrong? Are you and Tim in a fight?"
"No. We're not," Sabrina hurriedly denied it.
Tessa prodded, "If that's not it, why is he not with you when you discuss company
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmatters?"
Without a choice, Sabrina had to come clean about her family matters.
"That is what's happening." Sabrina glanced at Tessa nervously after saying that.
Since her family owned a company, it was weird that she applied to work as an assistant
at Timothy's company.
Although it was the first time Tessa heard about Sabrina's family matters, she didn't look
surprised at all. She had already assumed that Sabrina came from a wealthy family, and it
turned out that she really was. It happened that her intuition was right.
On the contrary, Nicholas and Edward were shocked by the news.
"I didn't expect you to be the daughter of the Gulliver Family, Miss Gulliver," Edward
expressed his shock as he stared at Sabrina, who felt a little embarrassed by his stare.
Tessa's interest was piqued. After all, Sabrina could be her future sister-in-law, yet she
didn't know much about her.
"Do you know about the Gulliver Family, Mr. Jackson?"
"The Gullivers might not be one of the top families in Southend, but they're also
considered to be millionaires." Nicholas took the baton and replied to Tessa instead.
Hearing that, she glanced at Sabrina and teased her, "Hmm, how could you hide it from us
for so long, Sabrina? Would you still have kept it a secret if I hadn't run into you today?"
"Of course, not. I just didn't have the opportunity to tell you yet," Sabrina explained
bashfully, her eyes filled with guilt.
Watching his wife teasing her, Nicholas decided to add fuel to the fire to satisfy Tessa.
"That's strange. I heard that the Gullivers pamper their daughter a lot. How could they
allow you to be a mere assistant to Tim?"
Sabrina was flustered upon hearing his words, especially when Tessa was looking at her
with probing eyes. Under the pressure, she had no choice but to confess. "Well, the reason
I joined Reinhart Enterprise isn't just for work, but for Tim."
As soon as she said that, Tessa's interest was aroused. "Does that mean you are already
acquainted with him before this?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Not really. I met him at a banquet," Sabrina explained softly.
Tessa's eyes lit up. "Love at first sight, I see! I didn't know my brother was so charming."
While saying that, she winked at Sabrina.
Sabrina's face immediately turned the shade of an apple. "Tess!" She stomped her feet in
embarrassment.
Tessa laughed out loud at her reaction while Nicholas watched her with a tender gaze.
After a round of teasing, they returned to their table and started discussing serious
matters.
However, Tessa wasn't proficient in business, hence she turned to her husband. "What do
you think is the problem with Sabrina's family?"
Nicholas took a sip of red wine and commented, "I heard that Hestonville Group is pretty
close with Prospera Group recently."
In other words, he implied that Hestonville Group managed to pull strings with a stronger
company, hence they didn't value Gulliver Group anymore.
Sabrina had other ideas, on the contrary. She recalled the words left by Prospera Group's
person in charge who was rejected by Timothy yesterday. She reckoned that her
company's collaboration must have been a trick pulled by Prospera Group.
