Abby

What was my problem really? I should understand that this man did not care about me but here I was crying myself to stupor over his message.

At a point, I just had to straighten up as I could not go on like this indefinitely. I was so exhausted but no way would I bring myself this low.

It was at this point that I noticed my phone buzzing. It was my father. Gosh, why did he have to start calling now of all times?

I mean, it seemed the best moment because if he had called a couple of hours ago, it would have been when I was on the boat cruise and my phone away from me. Knowing my father, if he calls when I'm not home and I fail to take the call, he would ultimately assume the worst.

I stopped crying as I reached over for my handkerchief with which I dried my eyes.

"Be strong, Abigail." I whispered as I took the call. "Hey, dad."

"I was beginning to think you've abandoned me." He teased me and I chuckled.

"No, dad. I was not close to my phone." I lied and just then, I sniffed when

    Lucas She hates me. She hates me not.Those were the thoughts in my head when I woke up this morning. I had actually been looking forward to seeing her message, at least acknowledging my own. No idea what I wanted her to say exactly but I had the inkling of the idea to wish she would tell me it did not matter.My heart kept beating really fast and I found myself restless. I needed to see Abigail and at the very least try and make things make sense to her.I found myself the perfect outfit and soon, I was making my way out of the house. I drove to work and on the way, I managed to pass a burger store. The memory of sitting down beside her yesterday and eating happily crossed my mind and I realised that I wanted more of that.Damnit. Why did I have to flee last night? I should have waited to hear what she had to say at least. If she hated me, it would be far better than this silence, right? At least I would know what fate she had decided to mate out to me.Eventually, I arrived at the

    Lucas Was this her way of getting back at me? I mean, if this was Abigail trying to seduce me then by the heavens I am seduced.I had not even realised that I had been standing until she looked away."Lucas, Hun, is there a problem?" Lucinda asked me.I furrowed my brows as I tried to retain a firm countenance. No one had to know what I was feeling right now was heartbreaking."Nothing. Could you go wait for me?" I asked her."Come on. You promised." Lucinda said to me.Yes. I had promised because I was not expecting that Abigail would be seated out here. I decided that I would have to deal with this."You did not report to duty, Abigail." I said to her,"I'm sorry, Sir. It will not happen again." She said to me from where she sat without even looking at me.Come on, woman, look at me!"I'm sure your staff would have plenty of time to get punished for slacking but now, we really need to go." Lucinda said to me as she tried touching me seductively around the face.What was she actuall

    Lucinda "Come on, Jarvis. There should be something for me." I cried out to my manager.Six months now and still the directors were not willing to forget that one mistake. I had been unable to get any role as everyone would rather avoid the actress with the scandal. How that tape had leaked was still something really baffling and right now, all I could do was wallow in both regret and shame.Jarvis had constantly warned me against dating Molloy but I would not listen. He was rich and hot and not to mention, he was from a royal home. I was already envisioning myself as his wife and how this sort of fairytale romance would boost my career. It would get me places. I mean, the fact that I was even affiliated to him was already getting me roles.I might be good but that was not enough in the industry. There were others even better. It was all a game of knowing what the directors wanted and having the right contacts.But then, the tape leaked. Neither of us had any knowledge of how but Mo

    AbbyHe was baiting me clearly but I would not stand it. What was even wrong with him?I had carefully left my seat for his office as he had demanded while he went to see off his girlfriend. All my insides were boiling from both rage and jealousy combined. It was as if he had taken a double edged sword and drove it right through my chest but I tried my best to maintain my cool.Yet, I could not help but wonder why he had kissed me if he was going to flaunt his woman the very next morning. It was as clear as crystal that he meant to hurt me but why kiss me back then? My mind was wavering with contempt and worse still, I wanted to find something to hate about Lucinda. I mean, I tried to find flaws about her and then I happened to settle for her artificialism. I mean, she certainly had work done on her body. Her breasts were done, she had botox and fillers on her face even though somehow, hers were not botched. Her ass too was done.Was that what he preferred? Women that had work done? I

    Lucas I was a jerk, right? I had just kept pushing with my demands and ultimately when I started to speak about her trying to get the attention of Jack, it had been as a way to call her to order. How on earth would I have known that she would in fact begin to claim that whatever she had to do with him was her personal life. A personal life with Jack or anyone right now was not good enough for me. I needed to always be in the know of whatever she was doing and whoever she was seeing.She was not having herself a personal life and that's final.I lost my cool and started to seek further ways to have her hurt. She had to know somehow that I was bleeding in my heart even though I knew she would not even care however I was feeling but I just had to try for both our sakes.Seeing nothing was being achieved by the whole back and forth argument with her, I demanded that she go wash off the makeup. In my own twisted mind, it would hurt her and make her out of the eyes of others. Although, tha

    Abby He was really enjoying all this, right?It was clear that he wanted to frustrate my entire efforts and I was letting him get to me. I glared severally at him but Lucas did not seem to care when I asked him if I could leave. He had demanded that I sat down which I respectfully did.Seriously, I needed to meet someone who knew him as a child as it was really clear to me that he must have been a really selfish one. How on earth would he keep blackmailing me with my own words and all I could do was watch him. It was like I did not have anything to say for myself. He would instantly avert everything to me quitting just to dare me and I could tell he would mock me before my father as a quitter. Besides, if I was going to manage my father's company, it was all going to depend on his assessment.Far be it that he should say I was inefficient and lazy. Or that if my father eventually hands the company to me, he would lay on the nepotism narrative. I wanted to pass through his annoying be

    AbbyI could notice how bright this young man's attraction towards me was. He was a great friend to me but I was trying my best not to make it seem that I was just out of reach. I blamed myself and my unnatural attraction to an old man who would never be mine. Hell, he even had himself his own girlfriend and here I was fawning over him despite his harsh treatment towards me.I smiled at him because he was still such a great friend to me. He did actually care about me."I did come. I noticed you were away." I said to him,"Oh, I mean, did you get my little gift?" He asked me, expectantly.Oh, I remember. I felt really bad that I was about to lie to him about the coffee drink."Yes. Very lovely. I enjoyed the coffee. It was really nice. Thank you, Jack." I said to him,"You're welcome. You know, I did not actually know what flavour to get you and I decided that I should get you that one." He said to me,Now, I didn't even know one bit about the kind of coffee he had given to me.

    Lucas I needed the air. Staying in here with her was really suffocating and I was not even referring to the noise. Hell, I could sit down all day and watch her make her call without feeling a single tinge of anger. She was really beautiful and her voice was soothing.I wanted to even try to speak to the clients on the list but as expected, I flopped. Abigail had this all figured out and I would be a big idiot if I tried to do it again. I managed to get through one phone call and that was it. I knew I had done my best and handed her the phone.Alright, Abigail. Go ahead and laugh. I had seen her gleaming as she probably was wondering if it would be nice if she said it to my face. But she retained it inside and took the next call smoothly. That was all I needed to leave. I went out and when I came into the staff quarters, I noticed how they were looking at me. Good thing I stepped out before they started to think that there was something between Abigail and I. I started strolling aroun
