Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 446
It was 10:00 p.m. in Florivera. So, it was still in the afternoon in Sanorsia. It was sunny today. Jane was lying down in a rocking chair basking in the spring sunshine.Forest hurriedly went to her. He handed Jane a tablet as he said, "Madam, have a look."Jane did not even open her eyes when she responded, "I know."Forest was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Is Young Master going to publicly reveal Abigail's identity?"Jane scorned, "So many people are watching him. There are so many dangers hidden around him. He knows all that better than anyone else. He'll never reveal that woman's identity before he removes all those dangers completely. Unless he wants this woman to die."Forest did not think Xander would protect Abigail. He said, "He's so cold-blooded. Why would he care about a woman he married through an arranged marriage?"Jane responded, "You don't think he cares about that woman?"Forest reasoned, "I think the only reason he doesn't allow you to mess with that w

"Okay. I understand." Luna turned her head to glance too. She then grabbed Abigail's hand and said, "It's just that everyone is very curious about who Mrs. Zane is. Because she actually has such a strong influence on Mr. Zane. Abigail, you've been working alongside Mr. Zane for such a long time. Have you seen Mrs. Zane?"Abigail did not want to answer that question. She raised her hand to look at her watch and said, "Mr. Zane will probably be here soon. I'll go and make coffee for him now.""Okay. Go ahead and do your work." Luna then went back to the secretary office. Anne Shaw, who was the nearest to Luna, immediately approached her. "So, did you find out any news about Mrs. Zane?"Luna answered, "Mr. Zane doesn't want to show his wife to the public. We'll surely not be able to see her. Everyone should stop finding out about it. It's better to just focus on our job."Anne did not want to give up just yet. "Ms. Renee doesn't know anything about her too?"Luna moved slightly to su

During the process of gathering evidence, Abigail also found out that not only did these two men like to talk about their female colleagues behind their backs, but they also often sexually harassed them.After she collected all the evidence, she then passed it to the department head, Marcus Berry. Abigail demanded the two men be fired. She also wanted them to apologize to the victims face to face.The Zane Corporation's company rules were clear. Anyone who maliciously defamed someone or sexually harassed a colleague would be immediately laid off and would not be hired by the company again.However, the department head wanted to defend the senior employees whom he had trained himself. But after Abigail presented the company rules to him, he had no choice but to reluctantly fire the two men and sent an email to the entire group.When the two self-centered men were about to leave after packing up their personal belongings, Abigail stopped them in front of everyone in the department. "

"Mr. Zane...!" everyone shouted at the same time. No one dared to speak another word."Mr. Zane..." Anne's tears just streamed down her face as she wished, like a faucet. She said, "I know you don't like people talking about their colleagues behind their backs. But if everyone in the CEO's office is afraid to speak the truth, honest advice won't reach you. This doesn't benefit the Zane Corporation at all.""Well, are you trying to use this kind of method to catch my attention?" Xander walked to Anne slowly and steadily. Every step he took was like stepping on everyone's heart, making all of them not even dare to breathe.Xander was six-foot-two. And his aura was very powerful. Anne was not even five-foot-three. Even though she was wearing four-inch heels, she still looked like a dwarf in front of Xander.She looked tiny and ridiculous!Xander looked down at the contorted, disgusting face in front of him as he said, "Do you know who Abigail is? Do you think a clown like you can jus

'I guess it won't be easy if I want to get rid of this troublesome woman.'Marcus felt increasingly frightened as he thought about it. He was so scared that he had cold sweat on his forehead...When Xander turned around, Abigail was standing behind him unexpectedly. She was like an outsider watching everything that happened in the office.Xander was clearly stunned. The violent intent in his body suddenly disappeared completely. Even his voice sounded gentler. "Abigail, how long have you been here?"Abigail did not answer his question. She smiled slightly as she said to him, "Mr. Zane, Mr. Young of the Skyrocket Corporation has to go to Alvonia to do something. For the contract signing at 10 o'clock today, he wants to do that an hour earlier. I checked that you have no other work to do before ten. So, I agreed on your behalf."Abigail looked natural. She was putting on her usual smile. At this moment, Xander actually could not tell what she was really thinking. The more he could n

Xander could not use his present identity to know what Abigail was truly thinking. So, he grabbed his personal phone to text Abigail using his Nathan identity: [Abigail, how's work today... Are you doing okay?]It seemed like the text had disappeared after he sent it. Xander waited for a long time, but he still did not receive a reply from Abigail.Abigail usually would not carry her personal phone with her during working hours. So, she did not know she had received a text from Nathan.Abigail thought, 'Mr. Young is in a rush. He has to go to the airport soon. The agreement signing can't be delayed any longer.'Abigail waited for a long time, but she still did not see Xander walk out of his office. So, she knocked on his office door again. "Mr. Zane, you..."Before she could finish talking, Xander already walked toward her and said, "Let's go."He strode to the elevator after he walked out of his office. Abigail kept up with his pace and entered the CEO's exclusive elevator with

At present, the country was thriving and prosperous. The citizens were getting richer. And the number of wealthy people was increasing. As people became richer, tourism would also become a major expenditure for many people, especially wealthy individuals.Wealthy individuals did not care how much they spent. They cared about the environment, service, privacy, and so on. But the current tourism programs could not satisfy the huge market demand.So, the Zane Corporation spent a sky-high amount of money to buy the rights to use the land of Oakford Island. They planned to build a top-class maritime amusement park that combined various elements such as leisure activities, entertainment options, business facilities, and so on.The Zane Corporation owned the top-tier HC hotel chain brand.

Abigail thought, 'Before a meal, he'd want the disinfected plates to be washed several times. And he must use his personal fork. And his personal fork must be changed regularly too. The clothes he wears must be immaculate. He'll throw them away if the clothes are just slightly wrinkled...'Just the thought of spending her life with a man like him frightened Abigail and gave her goosebumps.Xander raised his dashing eyebrows as he said, "Do you truly think so?"Abigail put on a pleasing, sincere smile as she nodded vigorously. "Of course!"Xander said, "Little liar!"Abigail was speechless.She thought, 'What did I lie to him about?'Did I deceive him into giving me money?'Or did I deceive him for sexual purposes?'I merely wanted to make him happy so that it'll make my job easier.'...Abigail had been working non-stop for half a month. The contract signing with the Skyrocket Corporation was the only work today. The original plan was that after signing the contract, Abigail

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
