As for what happened to Xander during his childhood, Abigail planned to get information from other sources. She must get to the bottom of this, only by finding the crux can that ailment be dispelled."Abigail... Abigail..." Xander grunted again and again, calling out her name."Yeah." When he called for her, she responded, and was unperturbed by it.She had limited ability and resources and could not help him too much, so the least she could do was to be at his side when he needed someone beside him.After hugging for a long while, Xander let her go as he stretched his hand out to press the hair bun on her head.He had wanted to press it for a long while and while he did it in secret back then, he could now do so without hiding.Abigail pushed his hand away and said, "Mr. Zane, it's office hours now, please know the time and place.""Know the time and place, even when it's office hours, I'm still your husband, and you, my wife. What time and place do you speak of?"Abigail was
'Is he taking me for a fool?'Both of them had their lips torn from biting and he dared to say nothing had happened?"Both of you are still young and are playful. Take this and apply it on Abigail. You're a man, and a small wound won't harm you, but Abigail is a girl, and staying pretty comes natural to them," Kane said as he took out a tube of medicine and passed it over to Xander. "Remember to clean your mouth if you want to steal a kiss next time."Xander took the medicine and said, "You may leave.""I will, I will." Just before he left, Kane gave Abigail a glance and wanted to say something but stopped. "I'll take my leave.""I'll walk you out."As they walked out of the CEO office, Abigail pulled Kane into a small empty meeting room. "Dr. Watson, I've something to ask you.""Go on.""The elevator we were in today ran into some issues and we were stuck inside. I noticed Mr. Zane had strange reactions; do you know—"Before Abigail could finish speaking, Kane interrupted her
Abigail followed Xander's stare to look into the distance.The Zane Tower was the landmark and the tallest building in Florivera. From their location, it seemed like the whole of Florivera was at their feet.It was an amazing feeling.But after a brief moment of that wonderful feeling, an endless sense of emptiness followed. Standing at the top alone came with a sense of loneliness and emptiness.Abigail guessed that Xander was probably feeling very empty and lonely.She slightly raised her head to look at him. "Mr. Zane, what are you thinking? Do you mind telling me?"Xander stared at her moving mouth. Her lower lip was red. And there was a clear injury. It was a mark left by him from unintentionally biting her too hard."I'm talking to you. Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?" She thought, 'Can this man stop looking at me like he wants to do something inappropriate to me?'If this continues, I'll not be able to work properly.'Unexpected
He was disappointed in Abigail. He would usually kindly address her by her name. But just now he coldly addressed her as "Ms. Renee".Abigail knew he had misunderstood. She intentionally did not explain. "Am I not now?"Upon seeing her shamelessly say that, Keith was utterly disappointed in her. "You do know Mr. Zane is married. And yet, you still seduced him. Don't you have etiquette and integrity?"Abigail grinned as she said, "Why must it be that I seduced Mr. Zane and not the other way around?"Keith was extremely furious with her words. "You... How could you say such shameless things? It was dark in the elevator. But I wasn't blind."I saw with my own eyes that you threw yourself at Mr. Zane before he kissed you. How dare you say he seduced you? I really underestimated you before this."Keith's face turned red as he scolded Abigail.She was amused by his moral outrage. She wanted to continue teasing him. "You've been by Mr. Zane's side for many years. Have you seen anyone s
"M-Mr. Zane..." Keith was extremely frightened. He immediately slid under his desk.Abigail was blown away by his smooth movements.Xander looked at Keith who was under the desk. "Didn't you say you want to beat me? Why are you kneeling so quickly? You're such a loser!""I-I was just joking around with Abigail. I won't dare to beat you, Mr. Zane. Mr. Zane, you're a forgiving man. Don't stoop to my level..." Keith was so scared that his voice was shaking. But he gathered his courage to climb out from under the desk. He wanted to use the truth to argue with Xander.But when he was met with Xander's ferocious gaze, the courage that he had gathered just now suddenly disappeared. He said, "Mr. Zane, I admit I'm a coward. I'm very afraid of you. B-But... Abigail is a nice girl. She's our colleague too. We spend every day together. Please don't hurt her.""I know Abigail is a nice girl. Do I need you to tell me that?" While being stared at by Keith, Xander walked to Abigail's desk. He sa
Keith thought, 'It's possible!'The more Keith thought about it, the angrier he got.He was lost in his thoughts again. 'The two people who I spend time with every day actually became homewreckers who destroy each other's families.'Damn it!'It's so terrible!'I'm a horrible person too. I know they're the homewreckers and yet I still have to put on a smile to work with them as if nothing had happened.'Aaah...'I'm so pitiful!'In my next life, I'll not become Xander's assistant again. I want to become the boss.'While Keith was still lost in his thoughts, the three of them had already arrived at the conference room downstairs.When they arrived, most of the personnel from both companies were already there.Originally, personnel from both companies sat on opposite sides of the conference table. But when Abigail entered the room with Xander, everyone had gathered around. And there were a few ladies who were particularly friendly and excited.Frank Wood from the programming
Xander was not sure about the details of how the Yank family had helped his great-grandfather. He did not deliberately maintain this relationship either.But he would always remember Margaret's advice. If the Yank family ever needed his help, as long as it was not illegal, he would do his best to help them."Please have a seat, everyone," Xander said as he sat down. Abigail orderly handed the documents to Xander. She also marked the important points to note.Needless to say, Abigail was truly an outstanding assistant. Ever since she started working by Xander's side, he felt much more at ease than before.But he knew that the more at ease he felt, the more tired she must be.Before the meeting officially started, Declan from Supermoon Tech said, "It's Supermoon Tech's pleasure to be able to work with Mr. Zane and the Zane Corporation. We hope to receive Mr. Zane's and everyone's kind support in the future."Xander just remained silent. He immediately announced the start of the mee
There were two ladies who stayed behind. They had been waiting for the right moment to invite Ben for a meal. Unexpectedly, before they could ask him, he had already set his eyes on Abigail.Abigail smiled. "Mr. Yank, I'm sorry! I'm having dinner with my husband tonight."This news made Ben's facial expression change slightly. But he quickly regained his composure. "You... are married? When did you get married? Why didn't I hear about it? Why didn't you invite me to your wedding?"Abigail was still smiling slightly. She calmly responded, "Mr. Yank, this is the first time we've met. Isn't it normal that you didn't know I'm married?""Did you say that because you're still angry at me?" He thought, 'Yes. She must still be mad at me. She intentionally said that to anger me. Her reputation is ruined. There aren't many men who'd be willing to marry her.'Even those who are willing to marry her would be those old bachelors or those old men who couldn't find a woman to marry.'The two fe
