Abigail said, "I need to prepare some materials for a meeting later. If you don't need anything else from me, I'll head out now."Seeing Abigail about to leave, Luna quickly reached out and grabbed her. "Hold on!"Abigail asked, "What do you need?"Luna hesitated, then said sheepishly, "I'm sorry."Abigail looked surprised. "Why are you apologizing?"Noticing people were passing by, Luna said, "Can we talk in your office?"Abigail replied, "Follow me."Inside the executive assistant's office, Luna spoke up, "When you were away, I thought a lot. You're not someone who acts recklessly for personal gain. Whatever's going on between you and Mr. Zane, there might be reasons tough for you to share. Just promise me you won't let things escalate with him and become that 'other woman'. I'll make sure this stays our secret."Luna was not one to jump to conclusions. She had confronted Abigail with the video, knowing how talented and hardworking she was. Luna was certain that Abigail had e

Luna released Abigail and said as she walked away, "I need to get back to work."Keith watched her leave, then turned to Abigail. "You two..."Abigail cut in, "What about us?"Keith raised an eyebrow. "That was quite a tight hug."Abigail shot back, "So? We wanted to hug. What's the big deal?"Keith hesitated. "I just think Luna might have special feelings for you."Abigail explained, "On my first day at the CEO's office, Luna was by my side. She introduced me to everyone and helped me get started. When a few long-time employees tried giving me a hard time, she stood up for me. She's been like a mentor."Keith nodded. "That makes sense."Abigail shot back, "Makes sense how?"Keith explained, "When she saw you and Mr. Zane getting cozy in the office, it's clear why she was upset. I first thought she liked Mr. Zane, but I soon realized she was more concerned about you. She doesn't really care about Mr. Zane's actions."Abigail only caught the first part of what Keith said. "Whe

"Awesome!" Luna exclaimed. 'I was right about Abigail. She's not the bad person some say she is.'Keith said, "Abigail wants to keep her relationship a secret. Now that you know, just don't tell anyone, okay?"Before Luna could ask why Abigail wanted to keep her relationship a secret, she pieced it together. When she discovered Abigail's tie to Xander, she wondered if Abigail's executive assistant position was not purely based on her abilities. If others found out about their relationship, many might assume Abigail advanced due to Xander rather than her own merit. All her achievements would be overshadowed. Instead of being seen as the talented Ms. Renee, she would be known as Mrs. Zane—impressive on the surface, but essentially in Xander's shadow.Luna said, "I promise I won't tell anyone, Keith. It's up to Abigail to decide if she wants to share about her relationship."Abigail responded, "Thanks.""Why are you thanking me? I haven't done anything for you," Luna said, now more r

"Alright, let's drop it. The meeting is about to start," Abigail said.Keith, looking flustered, said, "I'm not ready yet. Abigail, you know Mr. Zane won't get on your case like he might with me. Can you help me—"Abigail cut him off, "Nope."As Keith scrambled with his materials, he said, "You're always so nice to Luna. What about me? Haven't we worked together long enough?"Abigail laughed. "Do we really have that kind of bond?""Of course! We're tight," Keith insisted.Abigail exclaimed, "Mr. Zane, what brings you here?""Mr. Zane? Ah, no, no, there's nothing between Abigail and me..." Keith stammered, but upon looking around, he did not see Xander. Realizing Abigail had tricked him, he glared at her. "You think that's funny?""Maybe a little," Abigail replied with a smirk.Keith, trying to maintain his composure, replied, "You think it's funny now? Don't push me, Abigail. Even with Mr. Zane on your side, you wouldn't want to see me angry. You might just regret it."Abigai

Xander looked intently at Keith, his gaze so piercing that Keith felt chills and his skin crawled."Mr. Zane," Keith began, "if you have something to say, just say it."After a lengthy pause, and sensing that Abigail might return soon, Xander finally said, "Starting today, Abigail won't handle the company's confidential documents.""What? Could you repeat that, Mr. Zane?" Keith asked, tilting his head as if trying to clear his ear. "Abigail isn't just your executive assistant, she's also your wife. Don't you trust her?"Keith pondered during the brief silence. 'Mr. Zane has always trusted Abigail. From the time she started working closely with him, he never hid crucial documents from her. So, this sudden change, preventing her from accessing the company's most classified files, must mean something. Maybe it's not about trust but her new title as the CEO's wife. The dynamics of relationships can change. They might be close today and distant tomorrow. Perhaps he's guarding against fu

"I'm leaving too," Abigail said."Wait.""Is there something else, Mr. Zane?"It had been some time since Abigail had used such a formal tone with him. Xander felt a bit strange hearing it. "Now, I want to discuss something personal with you."She thought, 'He just mentioned we're at work, and now he wants to get personal? Does he always think he can have his way?'"Come closer," Xander said. Abigail moved toward him but stopped, keeping some distance between them. "Do I look like I'm going to eat you?" Xander asked with a playful smirk."At work, it's better if we keep some distance," she replied.Xander nodded. "After work, ride home with me.""Alright."He beckoned her, "Come closer.""Why?""I've missed holding you. Just want a hug."Abigail quickly took a step back, then turned and darted out of the office. "You were the one who wanted to keep things professional here," she called out.As Xander watched her retreat, the warmth in his eyes faded, replaced by a chilling

Xander sidestepped, avoiding the woman's reaching hand. She laughed, her voice dripping with allure. "What are you avoiding, Mr. Zane? Afraid I'll eat you up?"Xander snapped, "Get out!"The woman teased, "Are you asking me to 'get out' or to 'get it on'? Because if it's the latter, I'm game."'Some people just have no shame,' Abigail thought. 'Does she think she can just flirt with my man while I'm right here?' Taking a step forward, Abigail positioned herself protectively in front of Xander, fixing the woman with a cold stare.The woman gave Abigail a once-over. "My colleague is a real catch. You sure you don't want to see for yourself, Mrs. Zane?"Without giving the woman's taunts any attention, Abigail yelled into the distance, "Ron! Come out here!""They don't need your services. Everyone, back off," a familiar male voice declared. As the voice resonated, Ron slowly stepped out from the shadows. The man and woman, recognizing the command, gave a nod and retreated. Abigail in

Once he deemed the food safe, he began serving her. "Just tell me what you want, and I'll get it for you."Abigail quickly understood his actions. "Are you checking the food for poison because of Ron?"Given Ron's unpredictable nature, Xander would not put anything past him. His main concern was keeping Abigail safe. Xander filled her plate. "Eat up, and don't worry so much."Abigail's eyes filled with tears. "What if the food was poisoned? Did you even think about what could happen to you?"Xander replied, "I'm okay, aren't I?"Using a name she reserved for intimate moments, Abigail said, "Nathan, promise me you won't do this again."Xander patted her head, replying, "Okay." He thought, 'Maybe there's no future for us. Wanting just a glimpse of her face might become an unattainable luxury.'Abigail said, "Be careful when you drink with Ron later. Don't overdo it; you'll hurt your stomach."Xander simply nodded. "Mhm.""Abigail..."Emma's voice rang out from behind Abigail. Q

"Xander," Ron said, his voice edged with irritation, "if you keep ignoring me while I'm talking, I'm going to get mad."Feeling an intense warmth in his chest, Xander held onto Abigail tightly. He wanted to say something, but was afraid he would cough up blood. Abigail, noticing his distress, leaned closer and whispered, "Are you okay?" Xander only tightened his grip on her hand in response, shaking his head.Seeing Xander and Abigail whispering to each other, and feeling the contrast with his own wife's distant behavior, jealousy bubbled up in Ron. "Abigail," he began, "do you know where your birth mother is?" He mentioned Abigail's mother deliberately, thinking, 'If they're making my meal unpleasant, I won't let them enjoy theirs.'Abigail replied, her attention now on him, "I'll listen if you want to tell me. But I can't force you if you don't."Ron smirked. "Beg me, and maybe I'll tell you everything."Abigail said, "Alright, I'm begging you. Please tell me about my mother."

'How ridiculous!' Emma thought.Ron said, "Your heart has always been mine and it'll stay that way." When he noticed Emma's silence, he pulled her closer, even though she tried to pull away. Then, he looked over at Abigail and Xander."Xander," he said, "your wife is about to kneel and beg. You got anything to add?"Setting down his fork, Xander replied, "Nope." Taking Abigail's hand, he said, "We're heading out."Ron's frustration boiled over. He grabbed a plate and smashed it on the ground. "You've hardly touched the food! Finish eating or I'll throw it all away."Emma grabbed his arm. "Ron, is this how you treat guests?"Ron scoffed, "What guests?" Emma stayed silent. Ron continued, "Xander, if you leave without finishing your meal, you're insulting me. If you walk out, our old bond is over."Xander shot Ron a look, remained silent, and walked out with Abigail. As they left, Abigail and Emma exchanged meaningful glances, words unspoken between them. Watching Abigail go left E
