"Alright. Then, I won't be shy." Abigail took off her coat. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to grill some meat.Unexpectedly, Xander was a step ahead of her and did it first. He grabbed the tongs and placed the cut beef slices on the grill. "You're usually the one taking care of me. Today, you're in charge of eating."Abigail said in a panic, "Mr. Zane, that won't do...""You're my wife. Why wouldn't that do?" Xander cut her off just in time. Abigail thought he promptly cut her off because he was worried she would blow their cover, so she did not think much of it.Alfred laughed and said, "The way you two address each other is so interesting. People who don't know your relationship would think you're his subordinate."Abigail was speechless.'But I really am just Xander's assistant,' she thought.Xander smiled. "Mr. Bianco, she gets embarrassed easily, so please don't tease her.""You're defending her?" Alfred picked up the wine jug. Then, he poured three glasses of wine.

"You're very right. I didn't take good care of her previously and let her get hurt. This won't happen again in the future," Xander said as he turned to look at Abigail. "I'm sorry!"His gaze was deep and bleary.'I'm guessing he's drunk, so his "I'm sorry" must be meant for Mrs. Zane,' thought Abigail.She thought again, 'I want to tell him to not beat himself up too much. The past is the past, so the two of them should just happily live together in the future. But I'm not Mrs. Zane. I've never gone through what Mrs. Zane had, and I don't know what's happened between them. I don't have the right to say anything at all.'Abigail did not speak. Xander smiled momentarily before he raised his glass once more and drank it.Alfred said, "Xander, why are you two so awkward? Did you two have a fight before coming to see me?"Abigail froze when she heard his words. Thankfully, Xander reacted quickly."Yes, we had a fight. If it weren't for your sake, she wouldn't have even spoken to me t

Abigail did not drink much, so she was still relatively sober. She planned to take a shower and sleep earlier tonight so that she would get enough rest to have the energy to deal with the meeting tomorrow.She realized she was still wearing the bracelet Alfred gave Mrs. Zane when she took off her shirt.She immediately removed it and wiped it clean before putting it into the box. Then, she took the box to the third floor to look for Xander.Abigail knocked on the door. "Mr. Zane, I want to give you the gift Mr. Bianco gave Mrs. Zane. Could you come out for a while to take it?"Nobody answered her.'He must be drunk. He had a lot to drink when we were eating. On our way back, he leaned into the back seat of the car as he rested his eyes and didn't speak at all,' thought Abigail.She hurried downstairs and made a bowl of hangover soup. Once the soup was done, she brought it upstairs.Once again, Abigail knocked on Xander's door. However, he still did not answer.'Don't tell me he

"He's got a weak stomach?" Abigail asked worriedly.'This is also something not written in the compulsory special assistant course. Otherwise, I would never have let Xander eat such spicy grilled food last night, no matter what,' she thought.Dr. Sander said, "You don't know how busy he was when he first took over Zane Corporation. During those years, he worked day and night and had an irregular schedule and diet, so his gastric problems were really serious. Around this time last year, he was so busy with the Alvonian branch that he had a gastrointestinal hemorrhage. However, he still insisted on working on the front line."People saw Xander as a shining overlord in the business world who was resolute and ruthless. However, little knew how much he had sacrificed to get to where he was today.When Abigail competed for the position of Xander's special assistant, she read a lot about Xander, causing her to naively think she knew everything about him.However, the longer she stayed by

'I thought she had realized something; that's why she came upstairs to keep me company of her own accord. It seems like I've overthought,' thought Xander.Abigail moved and reminded him that he was still holding her wrist. "Mr. Zane, please let go of me first."Xander released his grip in disappointment. "I'm sorry! I...""I understand. You must've mistaken me for your wife; that's why you grabbed my hand."Abigail saw how sick and slightly fragile he looked.'It must be because of his fight with Mrs. Zane,' she thought.She thought for a while and decided to advise him, "Mr. Zane, why don't you talk to Mrs. Zane since you care so much about her? Don't bottle everything up.""Would having a talk work?" Xander thought of talking to her, but he did not dare to take the risk.Abigail said, "You gotta give everything a shot, right? How do you know that it won't work if you don't even try?""Mhm, you're right." He laughed. "When we're back in Florivera, book a hotel based on your p

Abigail widened her eyes in shock at Xander's request. "Are you sure you want to learn how to cook, Mr. Zane?"'Someone with a distinguished status like him can have top international chefs prepare whatever dish he wants with just an order. He doesn't need to do it himself,' she thought.However, she heard him say in a low voice, "I want to learn a few home-cooked dishes and make them for my wife someday."'So he wants to cook for Mrs. Zane! I guess he must be thinking of using the most ordinary way to express his love to Mrs. Zane. No matter how rich or how high his status is, he's still a normal man with a nose and two eyes, so he'll want to live a fulfilling life with the woman he loves,' thought Abigail.She genuinely hoped Xander and his wife would return to their sweet love life. "Mr. Zane, why don't you tell me what your wife likes?"Abigail's bright eyes were filled with laughter. Xander could tell she was really happy; she was happy for Mrs. Zane, whom she did not know at

Before Abigail and Xander could even take a few more spoons of quinoa porridge, Keith led a team of five or six people working on the Zane Corporation's chip project and arrived at the door and greeted them, "Good evening, Mr. Zane, Ms. Renee!"Abigail replied, "Good evening!"Xander raised an eyebrow, expressing his displeasure through his eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses. He asked, "What brings you here?"Keith immediately handed him a document and said, "Mr. Zane, this afternoon we reviewed the project plan again and found a loophole. We need you to take a look."Without needing to be pointed out, Xander quickly realized what Keith was referring to. He said, "The chip our company developed has already received approval and will soon be launched. The purpose of this meeting is to inform everyone that our company's smartphone and computer products no longer require services from these companies."Keith seemed to have grasped Xander's idea and inquired, "So, you're saying we

Asking Xander Zane, the CEO of Zane Corporation, to wash dishes would be like asking Abigail to grow ten extra spines. "Mr. Zane, I can wash them. You don't have to trouble yourself," Abigail said.But Xander insisted, "I'll wash the dishes. You go take a break."Abigail hesitated, not wanting to let him wash the dishes. "That's not necessary, Mr. Zane..."Xander, as the CEO, had to assert his authority and commanded her, "I told you to do something, so you should do it. Stop contradicting me all the time."Abigail thought to herself, 'Well, if he insists on washing the dishes himself, then let him. It's not my fault if something happens.'Xander took the dishes and pots into the kitchen, with Abigail following closely behind. She couldn't bear to take a break as he had ordered.It seemed like people with exceptional abilities like Xander were good at everything. Despite never doing household chores before, he washed the dishes as if he had been doing it for years.Xander turned

Xander thought to himself, 'Abigail is my wife, but I can't tell her. This feeling is just not right.' He spoke up, "This bracelet was meant for you. You should have it."Abigail corrected him, "He didn't give it to me; he gave it to your wife..."Before she could finish, Xander was already ahead of her, swiftly taking the box. He took out the bracelet and placed it on her wrist. "No one is more deserving of this gift than you," he said.Abigail was caught off guard by Xander's quick actions. Before she could react, he had already put the bracelet on her wrist.She wanted to take the bracelet off right away. But Xander interjected, "She won't wear things that have been worn by others."Abigail knew exactly who he meant by "she". She thought, 'So he didn't take it because he didn't like that I had worn this bracelet.' Her heart felt like it had been stabbed by something, it hurt so much.Abigail knew exactly who "she" referred to. 'So he didn't take it back because I had worn it,'

Chapter 120

Abigail spoke up without hesitation, "You may not realize this, but have you considered the pressure your wife must be under? Your close friends accused her of cheating in front of me, a complete stranger. Do you know how damaging that is for a woman? It could become a lifelong stigma that people will use to attack and defame her."Xander couldn't defend himself against Abigail's righteous indignation and could only express deep regret, "Sorry!"Still, he felt the need to reassure her, "Abigail, first and foremost, you're not an outsider to me. Secondly, I will handle this situation properly, and no one will dare to say a single word about it again."Abigail thought to herself, 'He did mention that as his assistant, I know many things that outsiders don't. I'm not exactly an outsider. But why is he telling me to be at ease? What good does it do for me to be at ease? Shouldn't he be reassuring his wife instead? Shouldn't he be the one apologizing to her?'As Abigail calmed down, she
