"Mr. Zane, I completely agree with what you're saying," said Abigail. She thought to herself, 'Even my husband doesn't interfere this much, and you're just his friend. What right do you have to meddle to such an extent?'Xander did not say anything more. Then, the two of them arrived at FNING Club peacefully.FNING Club was located at the foot of Moochill Hill on the outskirts of Hayshiport. It was designed in an ancient garden style. It was a place where Lucas entertained his friends and was never open to the public.When Abigail and Xander arrived, Lucas was already waiting with his people. "Xander, I've brought the people for you. Handle this matter as you see fit without minding me. I have no relationship with the Langston family."Xander smiled. "Even if you had a relationship with them, so what?""Well, I'm just trying to make myself look good." Lucas made a gesture of invitation and led Abigail and Xander into a room. "Mr. Langston, I've brought the one you wanted to meet f
Abigail wondered, 'What sins did I commit in my past life to repeatedly be mistaken as Xander's wife in this life? It's one thing to be mistaken in normal circumstances, but this time it's a matter of life and death. How could misidentification happen in such a big matter?'"You're not his wife, yet he's so concerned about you. Are you messing—" Before Simon could finish his words, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his back. He then lost consciousness instantly and fell to the ground.Even in his unconscious state, Simon's arm still tightly strangled Abigail's neck. Abigail could not break free and was pulled down by him. As they were about to fall to the ground, Abigail closed her eyes in resignation, but unexpectedly, she fell into a warm and strong embrace. Without opening her eyes, she already knew who was holding her. Xander's breath had been imprinted in deep."Abigail..." Xander's anxious voice resounded in her ears.Abigail opened her eyes and met his worried gaze. In his ey
Before Xander could ask, Abigail reported what happened in Pleasia. "There was a car bombing attack in Paridale. It affected our branch's artificial intelligence factory. There are casualties among the employees, but the exact number is still being determined. The PR department of the branch has been comforting the families of the employees, but the families are emotionally distraught and may cause trouble. Therefore, they need you to handle the aftermath personally.""Inform the team in Paridale that no matter the cost, we must provide immediate assistance to the injured and comfort the families of the deceased employees. We'll fly to Paridale now," Xander decided right away.Abigail hastily followed Xander to the airport and boarded the flight to Paridale that same day. Before the plane took off, Abigail planned to message Nathan and inform him that she would go to Paridale with Xander.Unexpectedly, Nathan took the initiative to message her first. [Abigail, I heard you're flying
Felix said, "I'm being serious with you. Don't just laugh it off."Abigail replied, "Okay, I promise both of you that I'll take good care of myself."They had many more things to say, but the plane was about to take off. Besides, the flight attendants repeatedly reminded everyone to turn off their phones or switch them to flight mode. So, Abigail ended her conversation with her friends.It took nearly thirteen hours to fly from Hayshiport to Paridale. After a long flight, everyone was exhausted. However, there was no time to rest upon arrival in Paridale. Abigail followed Xander and the others to handle the subsequent events.Nine employees had died, and seventeen were injured, including three in critical condition who were still in the ICU, fighting for their lives. The families of the deceased and the injured were distraught. Some of them even organized protests at the company.The Paridale police had announced that the incident was a terrorist attack orchestrated by an extremis
Abigail nodded respectfully and said, "Okay. After finishing this meal, I'll handle the handover."It had been a while since they last saw each other, and Xander wanted to talk more with Abigail. However, she would respond respectfully every time he spoke to her, making it difficult for him to find a way to start a conversation.Xander thought for a while and then said, "Your Francovan isn't good, so remember to let me know if you encounter any difficulties at work.""Okay," Abigail responded. Although she could not speak Francovan, her Sreildan was good. Besides, most of the people she worked with could communicate in Sreildan. So, her work here was going smoothly.Xander continued, "Easter is coming soon, and we may not be able to go back for the celebration. You have to be mentally prepared for that."Abigail said, "Mr. Zane, please don't worry about me. I was prepared for everything before choosing this job."Keith was watching and listening from the side when the two of them
"We're a team. You don't have to thank me." Keith then used the communal fork to take some food to put into Abigail's bowl as he said, "We've not seen each other for more than ten days. You look like you've lost some weight. You should eat more later to get more nutrients."Abigail stared at the pile of food in her bowl in front of her. She hurriedly stopped him. "Mr. Jackman, stop putting food into my bowl. I won't be able to finish them if you give me more food.""How is this too much?" Keith then got a bowl of soup for her again. "Abigail, you haven't been with us for the past ten days. Do you know how much we missed you?"Before Abigail could ask him, Keith spoke again. "I didn't realize how important you were when we worked together back then. But when you weren't with us this time, I realized how important you are every second."Everyone would feel happy to be recognized for their working abilities. Abigail was no different. She said, "Mr. Jackman, you're getting better at co
The scene was extremely romantic. Keith finally realized something.At that moment, Keith felt like he should be under the dining table instead of sitting at the table.Keith glanced at Abigail before looking at Xander. When he looked at Xander, Xander was coincidentally looking at him too.Xander's gaze seemed to carry a warning, warning him not to be overly attentive to Abigail. It seemed like Xander was asserting his dominance in front of him.Keith had been in this circle for many years. He knew many bosses had inappropriate relationships with their female secretaries. He always thought this kind of thing would not happen to Xander.Keith thought, 'It seems like I was too naive. It's said that we shouldn't engage in romantic relationships with colleagues. It's rumored that Xander kept himself away from women. All these were used to trick honest people like me.'Xander's private life was clean back then probably because his assistants were people like me and Cleona. Abigail is
Keith fearfully asked, "Mr. Zane, did I do something wrong?"Xander answered coldly, "Don't be overly attentive to Abigail when there's nothing wrong. She isn't even interested in the way I look, let alone you."Xander indirectly said Keith was ugly.Keith felt very wronged as he asked, "Mr. Zane, when was I overly attentive to Abigail? Moreover, both of us are your assistants. We spend more time together than with our families. Our working efficiency will improve if our relationship is good. Isn't that a good thing? Why are you blaming me?"Xander responded, "She's married. You can treat her well. But don't go overboard."Without thinking, Keith blurted out, "But you clearly treat her a lot better than I do. She's married. And you're married too. If you can treat her well, why can't I?"Xander said, "It's perfectly justified for me to treat my wife well!"Keith foolishly said, "I didn't say you shouldn't treat your wife well."Xander scolded, "Get lost!"Keith was speechless.
