"Malcolm, Atty. Cooper, we didn't get a chance to grab a bite at the banquet. Let's go grab some food now," Abigail suggested, calling the two men. The trio began to make their way out together.After only a few steps, Abigail felt an intense gaze fixed on her. She followed the sensation and saw Mallory. Her eyes filled with unsaid words, staring at her as if longing to speak but unable to find the words. Abigail dared not approach her, knowing that everyone from the Guzman family harbored hatred for her—she could not risk what might happen to Mallory after she left. Pretending not to notice, she quickly sent a WhatsApp message to Mallory.Abigail: [I know you were forced into today's situation. I don't blame you. If you decide you want it, I can still help you find a job.]That was all Abigail could do for her.Glancing back, Malcolm said, "Guess we won't be welcomed at the Guzman residence anytime soon.""Do you still want to come back to this hellhole?" Shawn asked in response.

Shawn asked with a knowing grin, "Xander, who are you waiting for?"Xander's gaze immediately met Abigail's. He had quite a bit to say, but Abigail beat him to the punch."Mr. Zane, thank you for helping me out of that bind." Her words were a clear signal to him not to disclose their true relationship.Xander let out a rueful smile. "Get in. I'll drive you home."Since Xander disclosed his double identity as Nathan, Abigail's husband, their dynamic had changed; she was uncertain how to be alone with him. She quickly stepped aside and said, "Weren't you just saying you'd treat us to dinner, Atty. Cooper? Are you sticking to that?""Of course. But it mainly depends on whether Xander agrees," Shawn replied."Alright. We eat first," Xander said.Abigail said nothing."Where are we eating? Your call," Shawn said."The Deli," Xander replied.Shawn raised his eyebrows in understanding. "You're sure about The Deli?"Xander confirmed. "If we missed a moment there, we should make it u

Xander asked, "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"Abigail had a lot on her mind but did not know how to put it into words. She shook her head in response.Seeing her hesitation, Xander stepped in. "How about I ask, and you answer?""Go ahead, Mr. Zane." Abigail nodded."Still speaking formally to me?""It's a hard habit to break. And you are my boss; it's appropriate for me to show respect.""I don't want you to speak formally to me. I haven't wanted that for a long time. The moment I found out you were my wife, I didn't want that formal distance," Xander said."When did you find out I was your wife?""The day we were supposed to get our divorce papers from the district registry," Xander said.'So he had known for so long, yet he kept it from me?' Abigail asked, "If you knew that far back, why didn't you tell me sooner?"Xander paused for a moment. After a while, he softly spoke in his deep, sexy voice. "Because I was afraid... afraid that you would leave me. That y

"I'm not belittling your role as an assistant, Abigail," Malcolm, worried that Abigail might misunderstand, made a point to explain to her. "I just find Xander's actions odd. He brings you to a private party. His wife doesn't seem jealous and even lends you her pricey necklace. It's hard not to speculate, you know?""Hmm..." Abigail choked a little, her face flushing with awkwardness."Malcolm, mind your own food, will you?" Shawn interjected."What do you mean, 'mind my own'? Xander's actions are truly puzzling." Malcolm countered.Xander slid a shrimp ravioli into Abigail's plate before turning his gaze back to Malcolm. "Who said my wife didn't come?"Malcolm scanned the room, inside and out. There was no extra soul in sight, let alone a ghostly one. "So where's your wife, then?""She's right in front of you," Xander replied.Abigail was speechless. She wished she could shut Xander up before he said too much, but she lacked the courage."The only woman I see is Abigail. You p

Taking a moment to collect herself, she bounded toward him and wrapped her arms around him in a fleeting hug before pulling away. She then said, "It's late. You should head home and rest. See you tomorrow."She had come quickly and retreated even faster. So fast that Xander could not hold her, and she slipped from his grasp once again. Watching her retreating figure, a small smile curved up the corners of his lips. Not only had she initiated the hug, but she had also addressed him informally, omitting any honorifics. 'This is a good start,' he thought.Felix and Melody were still up when Abigail got home. Their gazes drilled into her like laser scanners as if trying to scrutinize her inside and out. Melody sidled up to Abigail, sniffing her with a nose that put a bloodhound to shame."Good-for-nothing," she chided."What did I do to tick you off now?" Abigail retorted."You've been alone with Xander for so many days, and nothing happened between you two?""Who said we were alone?

"Don't sweat it. If the scoop you've got is as juicy as you say, I'll cut you in for half of the profit." Justin assured her."Deal."Once she wrapped up the call with Justin, Abigail drafted a concise and clear message detailing the night's events. Then, she hit send.Justin's reply buzzed in almost immediately: [Any specific angles I should focus on?]Abigail: [You handle it. You media types know better than me how to grab people's attention.]Justin: [OK.]Melody and Felix were huddled close, one on each side of Abigail. They had read the contents of her message, and the injustice of it all made their blood boil."Those Guzman people are such low-lives! What have we ever done to them to warrant this kind of harassment?" Melody fumed."I'm going to rip them apart!" Felix smacked his hand on the table and rose as if to storm out. He could not stand to see Abigail treated unfairly, even if he could take the abuse himself.Abigail reached out to stop him. "Fee, cool your jets.

Abigail wanted to go to the studio before going to work. So, she purposely set the alarm clock an hour earlier.It was still dark when the alarm clock rang. Abigail quickly got up and got dressed before going to the shared washroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.This rented apartment only had one washroom. Normally, their work schedules did not clash. So, it worked out fine.But Felix wanted to use the washroom today. So, Abigail and Melody could only freshen up in the kitchen.Melody complained as she washed her face, "After our apartment air out for another two months, we can move in. Our new apartment has two bathrooms for each person. I don't have to share a washroom with other people anymore."Abigail teased, "Who knows, maybe by then you'll miss sharing a washroom with me."Melody replied, "Maybe."After taking turns to get ready, they went to the studio.Their studio's name was Trio Comic Studio, which simply meant that the three of them ran it together.After th

Abigail was still thinking of justifying herself. But when she met Xander's deep gaze, she could not speak a word to justify herself.She felt it would be good if they treated each other the same way as before. She wanted to continue to have a simple superior-subordinate relationship with him. She did not want to mix personal matters with work...She thought, 'Even though I can't accept the change in our relationship, I can't change the fact that Xander is my husband. As my husband, it's normal that he wants to be closer to me.'"Today is the eighth of May. Our date tonight will proceed as planned." Xander's tone was very assertive. It indicated that he had already made up his mind and did not want to listen to Abigail's opinion.'Is today the eighth of May? Has it come so quickly?'Abigail was nervous and a little panicked, "Mr. Zane, can we not..."Before Abigail could finish speaking, Xander decisively rejected her, "No."Abigail helplessly blinked. Her eyes were red.Xander
