Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 209
Xander thought, 'Even that ugly, foolish Keith can become Abigail's alternative. Why can't I?'Keith, who was completely clueless, was suddenly summoned to the CEO's office by an internal call. He asked, "Mr. Zane, are you looking for me?"Xander stared at him without speaking. His gaze which was blazing with anger made Keith feel a chill down his spine. He asked again, "Mr. Zane, is there something wrong with my report?"Keith thought, 'He troubled me twice after I said his mood was good. I think I shouldn't speak carelessly from now on.'He had a few days off. And he did not make any mistakes when he worked today. Keith could not figure out what he did that made his boss unhappy.After a long silence, Xander faintly spoke, "Why are you still single?"The boss who never asked his employees about their personal matters suddenly showed concern about his worker's private matters. Keith suddenly felt something was not right. He answered, "Mr. Zane, I like to be single."Xander size

Abigail came to the CEO's office. She respectfully said, "Mr. Zane, are you looking for me?"Xander put out the cigarette that he just lit up. He had not even smoked it. He asked, "Have you come up with any ideas about what type of shoes our female employees should wear during formal occasions?"Abigail did not expect him to actually remember this matter that was so insignificant to him. She was very touched as she said, "Mr. Zane, thank you for showing so much concern for the female employees!"It was not easy for women to be in the workplace. Many companies would even impose harsh requirements on female workers. It was extremely rare that a male superior with so much power would consider the difficulties faced by female employees.The more Abigail spent time working with Xander, the more she felt that the rumors about him were nonsense. She thought, 'He's such a nice person. How could he possibly be cold-hearted?'She immediately took her phone out and showed him a picture. She

Abigail did that for the benefit of herself and for the female employees of the company. If everyone was happy, she was happy too. But after all, Xander was a businessman.Businessmen were mercenaries. To him, earning money would always be the most important thing. He was not so kind to the point where he could act in the best interest of all females.His thoughts, his actions, and the gentleness that he showed were all because Abigail was his lawfully wedded wife.Everything that he did was to make her happy.Abigail inexplicably felt a little guilty under Xander's focused gaze. She said, "Of course, I'm happy."'As long as she's happy,' Xander thought before he smiled as he said, "It's late. Let's call it a day.""Okay." Abigail stretched her hand to look at her watch. It was rare that she could get off work on time.When she left the company building and was ready to take the subway home, only then did she remember she had a company car. She then ran back to get her car.She

Margaret smiled as she said, "Life is indeed better without you two irritating us."Abigail pursed her lips as she cutely said, "Grandmas don't love me anymore. What should I do?"The two old ladies were amused by her cuteness. They chatted happily for a while before Abigail finally talked about the purpose of this call, "Grandma, do you know what Nathan's shoe size is?"When Cassandra heard that, she immediately glanced at Margaret. It seemed like she was trying to tell Margaret, 'Look, I told you they've reconciled. You didn't believe me.'Margaret grinned from ear to ear. But she was worried that Abigail might be shy. So, she replied with no questions asked, "Nate's shoe size is ten and a half."Abigail noticed the unconscious gestures the two old women made. But she pretended as if she did not see it. She did not want to give them hope and then disappoint them. She said, "Okay. Grandmas, you should continue eating. I'll call you two again next time.""Sure. You too. Remember

The WhatsApp message eliminated all of Xander's uneasiness and worries. He felt a strange joy in his heart.He thought, 'Abigail bought me a gift. This proves that my efforts aren't in vain. She probably can feel the determination I have to live my life with her.'He quickly typed: [Where are you now? I'll go and get it.]After he finished typing and right before he wanted to press send, he only realized that Nathan was not currently in Florivera. Nathan could not meet Abigail for now.He then deleted what he typed. He typed again: [Why not you pass it to me personally when I'm back in Florivera?]After a while, Abigail replied with a few words: [Well, okay then.]Her words showed a strong sense of disappointment. Xander did not want her to be disappointed. He replied: [If you don't mind the trouble, you can mail it to my house. I'll then be able to wear it as soon as I'm back.]He then immediately sent her an address. The address was unit one six zero one, building three, Glenn

Felix unhappily said, "What has the world come to? We're not blocking the road. They're so arrogant just because they're driving a luxury car. So what if they're driving a luxury car?"Melody said, "Their one wheel might even be more expensive than our car. They can be arrogant."Abigail could not make them notice her by honking at them. She then rolled down her car window to call them twice. But they still did not respond to her. So, she could only get out of her car to phone them. "Why did you guys ignore me?"Melody said, "We sent so many messages in the group to stop you from spending money for the unworthy jerk. You're the one who ignored us."Abigail waved at them as she said, "I mean now. Look back now."Melody saw her as soon as she turned her head. She asked, "Why did you come to the car park?"Abigail patted the car beside her. She wanted to share the good stuff with them. She said, "To park the car."Melody ran to her after she ended the call. She circled the car. She

Abigail disagreed with Felix. "Marriage is about two adults forming a new family together. Both are adults. No one should be controlling anyone. Fee, I tell you, you shouldn't have this kind of outdated mindset of wanting to control your wife. Or else, no girl will be willing to marry you."Every time they argued, Felix would lose to the two of them. He had learned his lessons after losing many times. He said, "Yes. Whatever you two say is correct."Melody responded, "You don't mean it."Felix said, "What else do you want me to do?"The three of them chatted while going back home. They divided the tasks after they were home. One cooked rice, another steamed the fish, and the other one washed the vegetables. After a while, the two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes were served.Felix prepared three cans of fruit beer. He said, "Although I don't really like that person, we should still celebrate Caterpie today."Abigail said, "We'll celebrate after I have the money to buy my own

Abigail laughed. "How could one not listen to good news? I just wanted to know what kind of sheer dumb luck I've been in recently. Why have I been receiving so much good news?"Melody said, "Out of the depth of misfortune comes bliss."Abigail laughed."Then I shall share some of my good luck with you all.""Hear me out first," Felix said.Abigail and Melody said, "Okay, shoot.""The comic series you drew in college, entitled 'My College Life', suddenly became popular," said Felix.Abigail asked in confusion, "Didn't we use the series to make up the numbers for the studio? Why did it suddenly become popular?""I thought something was wrong with our backend data when I saw the data for your comic series that day. After checking, I learned that your comic series is too realistic and practically a real-life portrayal of most college students at Florivera University, causing most students to resonate with it. The students in the Chrysalan language department saw your comic and reco

Emma turned and dashed into the bathroom. She cranked the faucet on and splashed water on her face, aiming to soothe her nerves.Although they were engaged, they were still too young, with countless uncertainties looming over their future. The possibility of actually walking down the aisle was up in the air.Decisions made in a rush of happiness could eventually become sources of regret. And Emma knew all too well that she couldn't afford any regrets.She thought that fortunately, Ron hadn't pushed things further, which gave her time to cool off.After freshening up, Emma stepped out to find Ron on the balcony, a cigarette in hand.She couldn't resist chiding him, "I've told you to cut down on smoking. Why can't you seem to remember?"This time, Ron complied, snuffing out the cigarette. "We should get some sleep. We've got to put our best foot forward when we meet your family tomorrow.""Okay, I'll sleep on the couch. You take the bed," Emma responded.Ron simply replied, "As y

Ron looked at her dawdling pace with disdain. "If you, a lady, can handle it, why can't I, a grown man, stay?"His words sounded noble, but Ron regretted them the moment they arrived at the hotel.Despite now earning a decent income, Emma was still reluctant to spend money.This place was hardly a hotel; it was clearly a budget inn charging only a few dozen bucks a night. The hygiene was questionable at best, and safety seemed like a gamble.Ron turned on his heel, dragging her suitcase behind him. "We're leaving, now.""It's too late, and we can't get a refund for the room.""Are you trying to get us killed?"Emma fell silent, her thoughts a whirlwind of frustration. 'I told him he wouldn't be used to cheap places. He insisted on coming with me, and now he won't even let me stay here alone. Why is he so annoying?'However, considering Ron had rushed over in the middle of the night to help her, Emma decided not to hold it against him.Ron picked the best hotel in the area—the

Rebekah glanced over at Ron; she exchanged a knowing look with him before saying, "I'll have someone tidy up the rooms. Why don't you two stay here tonight and keep me company?"Ron replied simply, "Sure."Emma had purchased a midnight flight back to South Florivera, necessitating a rush to the airport, which made staying over after dinner impossible.Yet, she found herself at a loss for words, struggling to decline Rebekah's kind offer.As she hesitated, Ron stepped in to clear the air. "Mom, I've got something on tonight. After dinner, I'll drive Emma back to her dorm."Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "What's so important?" she wondered aloud, thinking, 'Wasn't he the one insisting Emma stay over? What's he up to now?'Ron kept it mysterious. "Life stuff."Rebekah could not help but chide him lightly, "You, always the joker."Right after dinner, Ron insisted on leaving to take Emma back to her dormitory. But as soon as they were out of the gated community, he asked, "So, you reall

Ron chuckled. "I didn't know you were aware that even a cornered rat will fight."Emma shot him a glare. "Are we going or not?"Ron quickly said, "Of course. When Miss Blue commands, how can I dare not obey?"Fearing another of his notorious driving escapades, Emma hastily buckled her seatbelt as she settled into the car.Thankfully, this time Ron kept it smooth, driving steadily.As they neared their destination, Ron finally spoke up, "You know, that Tucker guy is a married man. Don't let his kindness fool you into being the other woman."Emma's gaze on Ron was fiery, seething with anger. "Do you even hear yourself? Is that what you think of me? For the last time: Tucker and I share nothing more than a mentor-mentee relationship. There's nothing else between us.""I'm just looking out for you, worried you might get deceived," Ron said, witnessing Emma's fury for the first time. Yet, he could not help but find her anger not at all intimidating, but rather endearingly foolish.R

The two sisters had a pact: no cell phones at home to keep their secrets from the prying eyes of the Blue family. Thus, Emma could call only at prearranged times, the sole window for Rihanna to catch up.Rihanna's voice bubbled with excitement over the phone, as she chattered away about her life's minutiae.Knowing Rihanna was doing well eased Emma's mind.Just as Emma was about to end the call, she heard Rihanna's voice, soft and wistful. "You're really not coming home for the holidays? If you don't, I'll be all alone."Emma's heart clenched at those words, and she made up her mind in an instant. "I'll come back the day before New Year's Eve."The Blue family had their hands full with festivities that day, too busy to notice Rihanna's absence. Emma figured slipping back unnoticed then would be her best shot.After hanging up, Emma immediately booked a flight from Valtara to South Florivera. With her ticket secured and her last bit of work finished, Emma prepared to leave her off

Emma had no interest in romance, let alone the audacity to dream that Ron might fancy her.This time, she did not pick up the thread of conversation.After dinner, Ron, as usual, drove Emma back to the university.Before parting, Ron said, "Winter break is almost upon us, and the dorms might be off-limits. Are you sure you don't want to stay at my place for a couple of months?"Emma offered a smile in response. "Thanks for the offer. I've spoken with the dorm supervisor and submitted an application in advance. I'll be able to stay over the holiday period."Ron paused before saying, "Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll text you my number in a bit; make sure you save it."Emma nodded. "Sure."Without further ado, Ron drove off.Upon returning to her dorm, Emma saw Evelyn and Cassie, busy packing their bags, surrounded by gifts for their parents bought from Valtara.Evelyn asked Emma, "Are you really not going home for the winter break?"Emma replied, "No, I won't

Emma did not have the guts to risk failure because she did not have a safe haven to fall back on.Lucas kicked Ron in the shin. "Come on, if you fancy her, out with it. No Hagrid heir dithers like this."Ron glared at him. "Mind your own business." In his head, Emma was already his. The thought of losing her was unimaginable.Lucas said, "Without my meddling, she'd never be yours."Ron changed the subject. "I called you here for a serious discussion."Lucas replied, "No matter how serious, it can't outweigh the matter of your lifetime happiness."Ron was exasperated. "Lucas!"Lucas relented. "Alright, alright, you talk, I'm all ears."Ron spelled out Emma's music venture with Tucker. After hearing it all, Lucas could not help but see Emma in a new light."Never pegged Emma as such a dark horse," Lucas said.Silently listening to their conversation, Emma was thrilled to have her work recognized.Lucas said, "But, getting back to it, whether a song makes money, and how much, d

Ron barked, "Lucas!"With a chuckle, Lucas responded, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing Emma. I'm starving. Let's grab some food and talk business while we eat."Ron snapped, "Get lost!"Lucas could not help but revel in Ron's frustration. "Ron, have you fallen so quickly? Who was it that told me they would never accept an arranged marriage?"Emma was increasingly confused by their banter. "If it's inconvenient for me to be here, I can just take a cab and leave."Ron said, "Call you dumb and you won't admit it!"Emma thought to herself, 'I didn't want to be a third wheel, cramping their style. Was that really so wrong? No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.'Suddenly, Ron grabbed Emma's hand and led her inside. "It's cold out; let's go inside."Emma had to quicken her pace, practically being dragged along.Seeing them together, Lucas laughed heartily from behind. "Ron, oh Ron, never thought I'd see the day.""Don't laugh too soon. Your day is coming," Ron shot back.Th

Emma said, "Okay."Ron asked, "Have you won over your crush?"Lucas responded, "Secret."Ron replied, "Looks like you haven't won her over."Lucas said, "As long as I make a move, there's no girl I can't win over. But I haven't made a move yet because the timing isn't right."Ron asked, "Is it because of the Sandow family?"Lucas answered, "The Sandow family wants to marry their daughter to me, and my family wants me to marry her too. But I've told them long ago that I'm not willing to do that. Nobody can make me marry a girl I don't like."Emma remained silent. 'I didn't expect that Lucas would also have the same problem as me and Ron.'It seems like the wealthier the family, the more they'll arrange marriages based on social status without considering personal preferences.'Lucas seemed to sense Emma's thoughts. "Emma, my situation with the Sandow girl is different from yours and Ron's. Don't lump us together."Ron looked at Emma and suddenly said, "There isn't any other gi
