Too Close To Handle Finding Home
"What are you doing here." Abigail heard a baritone voice, accompanied by something touching her shoulder. When Abigail heard that voice, she suddenly returned to the present and looked up. When she looked up, she saw Edward, and he had placed his coat on her shoulder. Did Edward see that she was outside, so he came to find her?“Is this where you plan on staying for the night?” Edward asked, looking at the woman. “It’s cold outside. Do you want to get sick? Even if you don’t care about yourself. Don’t forget you’re carrying my child. I don’t want anything to happen to her.” Edward said to Abigail"Why are you here? Why are you still awake?" the woman asked the man. "I could also ask the same thing." Edward said to the woman."The door is locked. They seem to be asleep." The young woman said. Edward looked at the house door. He doubted that they didn't hear Abigail calling them. From what he saw earlier and the way the young woman looked now, it seemed to confirm his suspicion that t

When they returned, Abigail was surprised because Edward immediately took her to a fashion boutique and had her styled. Even though she was still confused about what was happening, after she was styled, the young man took her to a courthouse. It was only then that it dawned on the young woman that she and Edward were getting married. And their parents weren't at their wedding. The only ones present to witness their marriage were Edward's secretary and a friend of his."Hi." Edward's friend greeted Abigail with a smile. Abigail smiled back simply and looked at him. Besides Edward's secretary, she didn't recognize the two other people with him. She didn't know how to act in front of them.“Just Relax.” Said the woman with Edward’s friend. “Laylah. Wife of Akira.” She said, extending her hand and glancing at the young man talking to Edward and his secretary."Abigail," Abigail said simply. As she looked at the woman, she couldn't help but feel intimidated. There was a clear difference be

What do you mean the president will be staying on this branch?” Abigail heard one of her colleagues say. She was on her way to the printer room when she overheard the conversation of two of her coworkers. “Why, is there a problem with our branch that the president needs to be here?” asked the other. “I think our General Manager here is doing a great job managing the branch.” The other girl added.“Hasn't he been here before? He was already conducting an inspection. I believe he will be here at our branch for a short time. I also think he intends to introduce his new jewelry design here. You know, other designers are already gearing up for the competition. There's even talk about the winner being taken to the main branch and joining the main designers' team. Just think about it—becoming a part of the elite jewelry design team at Ulrick Jewels.” Abigail just looked at them."Hey! Why are you looking at us? Are you eavesdropping on our discussion?" one of them retorted to Abigail. "Jus

Why did you choose her, president? There are many other qualified staff here. You know, she is good for nothing. She just stays locked in her desk and does nothing----" said the manager when Edward said that he wanted Abigail to be his secretary while he was at their branch."You said it yourself, that she doesn't contribute much. She’s the ideal choice for my secretary," Edward remarked. The woman stared at Edward in shock, unable to grasp his reasoning. Among all the candidates for the secretary position, why did he select Abigail? In her opinion, Abigail only seemed capable of fetching coffee for the staff."I want her desk inside my office as well. I don't want to keep going out whenever I need something. I have too much to do to waste time." The young man said."Yes, president." The woman added before leaving Edward's office, leaving James and the young man inside."I still don't understand why you came here. Do you think I'm not doing my job?"

"How long have you been standing here?” James asked Abigail. “Were you listening to our conversation? Who gave you the right? Just because you’re Uncle Edward’s wife doesn’t mean you can listen to our conversation. Have some decency.” James said to Abigail."Maybe you tricked Uncle Edward into marrying you. Or maybe he just felt sorry for you. But that doesn't mean you're accepted as part of the family. No one in my family will ever accept you." James said, bumping into the girl before leaving. He left the door open as Abigail stared at Edward.“What are you still doing out there, get inside,” Edward said as he stood up from his seat. Abigail slowly entered and closed the door.“Manager Irene wants me to give these documents,” Abigail said upon entering."Sit down, we need to talk," Edward said, walking towards the sofa. The woman, having no idea what was going on, placed the document she was carry

Abigail couldn't hide her admiration as she stepped into Edward's unit. He had picked her up from the hotel and brought her to his condo. He said the renovation was finished and they could move in. She couldn't believe it, just last night he said his unit was under renovation. How quickly they finished the renovation. She couldn't hide her admiration, especially for her walk-in closet that Edward had built, especially the beautiful and expensive clothes that were inside.“Mr. President, you don’t have to do this,” Abigail said, looking at the young man. “I mean-----”“It’s fine,” Edward uttered.“Think of it this way, starting now you are training yourself to become a better version of yourself. I am not saying that you should change your personality. But just be confident in who you are. You’ve been hiding the real you for the longest time.” Edward added. The young woman looked at the young man w

Are you sure you want me to drop you off here?" The driver asked Abigail when she told him to drop her off a short distance from the building where she worked. The driver couldn't hide his surprise at what the young woman had said. "I'm okay here. It's uncomfortable when my colleagues see me getting out of a luxury car," said Abigail. She was certain that she would become a topic of conversation if they saw her."Thank you," said Abigail as she opened the door, got out of the car, and walked towards the building. She was about to enter the building when she suddenly ran into two of her colleagues. They were surprised to see her appearance, especially the color of her hair. "What do you want to happen now? Did you change your hair color to fit in?" asked a woman who was taken aback upon seeing her."Even if you change your hair color, your position in this company won't change. You're still just an office maid and a coffee maker," said James, who arrived with Tiffany, holding onto the

Abigail simply glanced at Edward's desk. The young man was no longer there. He had left with Roen because of a sudden meeting called by his father at the main office. She had been Edward's secretary for several days, yet the young man had not given her any tasks. It was Roen, his personal assistant, who took care of his schedule and other directives. All day long, Abigail did nothing but sit. And because Edward hadn't given her any work, she often spent her time designing jewelry. But she knew her designs wouldn't be noticed because there were many entries from their branch.The office was quiet, with only the soft hum of computers and the occasional rustle of papers breaking the silence. Abigail glanced at the clock; it was only mid-morning. She let out a small sigh and opened her sketchbook, flipping to a fresh page. She started sketching a new bracelet design, her pencil gliding smoothly across the paper.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Abigail looked up to see a young int

"Sir!" Roen burst into Edward's office, his voice trembling with urgency. The young man stood there, chest heaving as if he had sprinted all the way. It was already late into the night, the kind of hour when silence blanketed the building, save for the distant hum of the air conditioner. Edward, still immersed in a pile of unfinished files, barely glanced up."Why are you in such a state? Did something happen?" Edward asked, his tone calm but with a hint of concern. His eyes flickered to Roen for a split second before returning to the document in his hand."Ah, by the way," Edward continued, his voice steady as he pushed through his exhaustion, "I sent Abigail home early. Could you call her and check if she's had dinner? I might be here longer than expected." He delivered the instructions almost absentmindedly, his focus unwavering on his work.But when Roen failed to respond, Edward's attention finally snapped to him. The younger man stood there, rooted to the spot, his face pale and
Too Close To Handle Silent Prison
When they returned to the island, Abigail wasn’t shocked when her parents locked her in the storage room once again. It had almost become predictable to her, although she couldn’t help but wonder about their intentions. Why had they bothered to bring her to the island if they were just going to imprison her like before? Deep inside, Abigail had long accepted that she was not regarded as a daughter by her parents—they saw her as nothing more than an unfortunate burden.She pounded desperately on the storage room door, but her efforts were in vain; no one came to her aid. Exhausted and defeated, she scanned the dimly lit room, eventually sinking to the ground near the door. Wrapping her arms around her knees, she rested her head on them, consumed by silent sorrow and confusion.Outside the house, Abigail’s younger sibling confronted their parents as they returned from the docks. They had seen the ship arrive, carrying Abigail, and watched in dismay as she was escorted to the storage roo
Too Close To Handle Tides of Conflict
Abigail stepped out of Ulrick's building, her mind still preoccupied, only to be startled by the sight of her parents standing stiffly in front of a van. “Mom? Dad?” she asked, her voice a mix of confusion and unease. Her parents, upon seeing her, wasted no time and approached her with determined strides.“Wait, you're hurting me!” Abigail cried out as her father gripped her wrist with unnecessary force, dragging her toward the van parked nearby. The sudden aggression left her stunned.“Excuse me, what’s going on here?” the building's security guard intervened, his voice firm as he stepped forward to protect Abigail. He had noticed the rough way her parents were handling her.“Stay out of this. We’re her parents. We have every right to do what we want,” Abigail’s mother snapped, her tone sharp and dismissive. The guard hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.“Stop resisting. We’re not bad people. Come with us quietly if you don’t want to get hurt or embarrassed here,” her mother added, h
Too Close To Handle Threads of Envy
Looks like you’ve settled in here,” Tiffany remarked to Abigail, catching her attention. Abigail was in the mini kitchen of the office, preparing some milk. Since she transferred to the main branch, she felt her life had become more peaceful. Except for the scandal a few days ago caused by her father's arrival, her stay had been relatively calm. Up to that point, the president's wife's identity remained a mystery among the employees.So far, she preferred her life at the main branch. Even though she wasn't close to many of her colleagues, she felt freer to do as she pleased. Moreover, Edward had given her permission to participate in the jewel competition. He had seen some of her designs and even encouraged her to join. Initially, she was hesitant, but Edward's encouragement persuaded her to design and participate. Besides, she didn’t have much else to do. Yes, she was Edward's secretary, but she didn't have many tasks to handle because Roen took care of most of the work for her."Is
Too Close To Handle Caught in the Crossfire
Abigail glanced at the man who stormed into their office, visibly furious. She stood up in shock when she recognized the man who was angrily looking for Edward. As she stood, the man noticed her, causing him to stop in his tracks and stare at her. He frowned upon seeing Abigail. Abigail didn't know what to do at that moment. She looked around, thinking of hiding herself, but it was too late—her father had already seen her."What are you doing here? And of all places, I find you here. You're so stubborn and never listen. Don't you have anything better to do than defy us?" he scolded her as he walked towards Abigail and roughly grabbed her arm, causing her to wince in pain. The employees inside the office were also shocked by the man's actions, but no one dared to approach and help Abigail."You really didn't hold back. You actually married that man? Is this the price of marrying him? A job at his company? You've brought nothing but shame to us. You know we hate that man, yet you chose
Too Close To Handle Hearts Entwined
When Abigail was finally discharged from the hospital, her heart sank as Edward insisted she move to the main office. Despite her reluctance and attempts to convince him otherwise, she couldn’t defy the resolute young president, especially after the recent accident. Edward's decision to transfer Abigail to the main branch shocked everyone. The announcement came with another surprise: James would be in charge of the jewelry competition at the original branch, while Edward himself would return to the main branch to tackle the accumulating workload. He further shocked the employees by declaring that Abigail would accompany him as his secretary. This revelation sparked curiosity and bewilderment among the staff, who couldn't help but wonder what made Abigail special enough for the President to bring her along.Abigail stood at the top floor of the imposing Ulrick Jewels main branch building, her eyes taking in the sprawling cityscape below. Despite her pleas to Edward, trying to persuade
Too Close To Handle Shattered Facade
"Find out what happened.” Roen’s voice cracked with fear as he stared at his wife’s pale face, desperation seeping into his every word. “I need to know why this happened to Abigail,” Edward commanded his tone a dangerous mix of fury and anxiety. His eyes were ablaze with a burning intensity, and his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white. Roen could almost feel the storm of emotions raging inside Edward, and he knew that any answer less than the truth would not suffice. Abigail’s life, and that of their unborn child, had been teetering on the brink of disaster. Even if their marriage was a mere formality, Edward was determined to protect Abigail and their baby at all costs.Roen rushed back to the building, his heart pounding with a mix of dread and determination. He found the young women they had seen earlier, their faces still etched with shock. His eyes narrowed as he scrutinized their every movement, searching for any hint of deception. He questioned James and Tiffany
Too Close To Handle Beyond the Spotlight
"Ah, you're here," one of Abigail's coworkers said as she arrived at their office. As soon as she entered, everyone turned to look at her. From the way they were looking at her, she could already guess the reason behind their stares. It was probably because of the recent anniversary party. She figured everyone would be asking her about what happened. After all, she was the only one in the company without an invitation, yet she suddenly showed up with the president, wearing the company's expensive necklace. Even she was puzzled by what had transpired."Imagine that, a simple secretary suddenly becoming the lady of the night because of the Crimson Fate necklace. Tell us, what did you do to fool the President?" a woman asked as she approached Abigail, her tone dripping with sarcasm."You're a disgrace. I never thought you could do that. Did you know you stole the spotlight from Celes? Tiffany said Celes was supposed to wear the Crimson Fate because she's the actress and model
Too Close To Handle Veiled Rivalry
"You did a great job earlier," Roen said to Abigail with a smile as he escorted her to a luxurious suite in the grand hotel. The night had grown late, and Edward had decided they should spend the night there. With Edward still engrossed in conversations with the guests and company directors, Roen had taken on the responsibility of escorting Abigail to the suite."I didn't do anything but stand on stage. I don't understand why the President made me wear this necklace," Abigail said, her voice tinged with confusion and unease. She glanced at the ornate box she was holding. After the event, she had immediately returned the necklace to the box, afraid that she might damage it. She knew how important the necklace was, not only to Edward's family but also to the company. The weight of its significance felt almost too heavy to bear."He has his reasons," Roen replied, his smile unwavering, but his eyes holding a hint of mystery."Hope that reason is a good one," Abigail muttered, handing the
