She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 432 - YOU'VE GROWN

"What?!" for the first time, her father raised his voice at her. Disbelief and disappointment were showing on his face as he looked at his daughter in front of him. "Stop joking Sabrina. Why would you say that?"

Sabrina sat on the couch with a calm face. She didn't even flinch when her father shouted because she had expected this to happen. "I am not your biological daughter. I have no right to inherit the company. I'm not really belittling myself because I know I'm capable of managing it but, don't you think someone else is better than me. Uncle had been working so hard for the company and I think, he's more than capable of managing it. He's also young. Why don't you give him the company instead of giving it to an outsider like me?"

"You can't be serious sweetheart."

"I'm very serious dad. I don't want to become the next CEO and let's be honest here, you only want me to become the next CEO to have a better prospect in getting partnership through my marriage, right?"

Her father was stunned to hear this thing coming from her but he couldn't deny it either.

Her mother, who was silent since earlier, finally spoke to the two of them. "Don't force them if she's not willing to do so. Instead of giving her a burden for the rest of her life, we should allow her to do what she likes that can make her happy. And she's right. Your younger brother had been working so hard beside all these years. You can give him the company. I don't mind."

"Mom has agreed." Sabrina mentioned. "I'm already contented with what I have. I won't be greedy as to get the company from your family. I'm more than thankful for having raised me to this point. Being alive and having family like you is a lot more compared to being a CEO."

"Is this really what you want?" her mother and father asked her at the same time.

Without any hesitations, Sabrina nodded her head. "I just want to live a normal life. Also, I'll start my career without involving the company and you don't need to pull strings to help me either. Another thing, you don't have to worry about my marriage. I have found someone I like."

With all these being said and done, she stood up to go upstairs.

"Wait!" Her mother pulled her hand to stop her from walking. "Did you just say that you found someone you like?"

"Yes." Sabrina answered. "He's a decent guy and someone that Cayenne and Stefan have trusted with their lives."

"Would you tell us more about him?"

Sabrina took a deep breath and turned to look at his father while speaking to her mom. "You don't have to ask me if you want to know more about him. Just ask dad. He's got more than enough to fill your mind for the entire day."

Sabrina left the two of them alone and went back to her room. She's tired from the flight and wanted to rest for a little while. "I wonder if they'll stop me from going back to City A and City B next time." She muttered to herself while taking off her clothes. "Will the secretly go there to look for Erwin? Will he be having a hard time?" She was starting to worry for him but she couldn't really do anything if her parents would do these things behind her back.

As for Erwin, after sending Sabrina to the airport, he didn't go back to Cayenne's home. Instead, he went to City D to find Reuben, his direct employer. He was indeed working for Cayenne but it was because Reuben told him to do so. The person who was giving him the salary was also Reuben.

He may be older now but Erwin was still afraid of Reuben. This man was very gentle in front of his daughter but he's actually a very cold person. And even though he didn't love his wife, he kept her at bay to hurt her emotionally again and again. Although, things have changed lately because of Cayenne.

"Erwin, you're here." It was Ingrid who greeted him since she was at the living room, reading a book. "Are you alright? You look worried. Did something happen to Cayenne?"

"No, ma'am. Nothing happened at home but I'm indeed worried for something else. Is sir Reuben at home?"

"Yes. Let me send him a message. He should be at the study right now." Ingrid picked up her phone and sent a message to her husband. Not long after that, they saw Reuben walking downstairs. "Erwin has something to tell you."

"I can guess what it would be." Reuben stated which sent another chill on Erwin's back. He really can't read his master's emotion which makes him even more afraid of him. "You want to quit being a body guard, right?"

Ingrid was also shocked to hear this news and she instantly sat up straight to face the young man in front of her. "You want to quit, why?"

"It's because of a woman." Erwin answered honestly. There's no use lying to them because they will still know the truth later on. "I like someone and she's very rich and she said that she also likes me which is why, I don't want to become her burden. I want to find a work that she can be proud of. I know that being a body guard is a decent job but her parents might not like it. I don't know what I can do." The whole time he was speaking, he had lowered his head, not wanting to see his employer's face.

"You've grown." Reuben commented and gently pat him on the shoulder which surprised Erwin a lot. "My daughter already told me of this possibility and she had been worried for you all the time. Seeing that you're finally making a move, she's very happy for you as well."

"Oh. So, young miss knows."

"Of course, she will know." Ingrid responded with amusement. "Don't worry. We're not really against your decision. So, what's your next plan?"
