All Chapters of Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Chapter 621 - Chapter 630

[Don't be afraid. I'm here.]The brief text from him was a source of strength for Abigail. She looked toward Xander, but it was dark, and she couldn't see his face well. Still, she sensed his presence. Regardless of the circumstances, he always managed to exude an air of elegance.He picked up his personal phone and dialed Abigail's number as Nathan. The moment the call connected, Abigail panicked and ended it immediately.She sent him a response: [I'm still having trouble accepting that you're Xander, so I'd like to keep our relationship a secret for now, okay?]Xander was eager to shed all pretenses, reluctant to wait for another second. But when it came to choosing between his desires and Abigail's wishes, he unhesitatingly chose to respect hers. He replied: [Okay.]Abigail: [Let me handle what comes next. Please, stay out of this and wait for me outside, okay?]Even though it was still technically a conversation between Abigail and "Nathan", she now knew that "Nathan" was him

Shawn said, "Given today's scene, the media will have a field day tomorrow. If you don't clarify that your necklace is the real Astre Eternel, rumor mills will certainly churn out stories about Zane Corporation's executive assistant wearing a knockoff. You know as well as I do that this could turn into anything, from a small hiccup to a full-blown scandal."Abigail mulled over Shawn's words, finding sense in them. For ordinary people, wearing imitation goods was no big deal, but she was Zane Corporation CEO Xander's personal assistant; to some extent, she represented Xander. Therefore, she had to assert that her necklace was the genuine article. Taking a step forward, she declared to the onlooking crowd. "Indeed, I'm wearing the authentic Astre Eternel necklace."Hearing that Abigail's necklace was the real deal, Daisy's face contorted in fury. 'Not only did this woman embarrass me today, but she also possesses a genuine Astre Eternel? Why? She's merely a personal assistant; why shou

Shawn asked with a knowing grin, "Xander, who are you waiting for?"Xander's gaze immediately met Abigail's. He had quite a bit to say, but Abigail beat him to the punch."Mr. Zane, thank you for helping me out of that bind." Her words were a clear signal to him not to disclose their true relationship.Xander let out a rueful smile. "Get in. I'll drive you home."Since Xander disclosed his double identity as Nathan, Abigail's husband, their dynamic had changed; she was uncertain how to be alone with him. She quickly stepped aside and said, "Weren't you just saying you'd treat us to dinner, Atty. Cooper? Are you sticking to that?""Of course. But it mainly depends on whether Xander agrees," Shawn replied."Alright. We eat first," Xander said.Abigail said nothing."Where are we eating? Your call," Shawn said."The Deli," Xander replied.Shawn raised his eyebrows in understanding. "You're sure about The Deli?"Xander confirmed. "If we missed a moment there, we should make it u

"I'm not belittling your role as an assistant, Abigail," Malcolm, worried that Abigail might misunderstand, made a point to explain to her. "I just find Xander's actions odd. He brings you to a private party. His wife doesn't seem jealous and even lends you her pricey necklace. It's hard not to speculate, you know?""Hmm..." Abigail choked a little, her face flushing with awkwardness."Malcolm, mind your own food, will you?" Shawn interjected."What do you mean, 'mind my own'? Xander's actions are truly puzzling." Malcolm countered.Xander slid a shrimp ravioli into Abigail's plate before turning his gaze back to Malcolm. "Who said my wife didn't come?"Malcolm scanned the room, inside and out. There was no extra soul in sight, let alone a ghostly one. "So where's your wife, then?""She's right in front of you," Xander replied.Abigail was speechless. She wished she could shut Xander up before he said too much, but she lacked the courage."The only woman I see is Abigail. You p

"Don't sweat it. If the scoop you've got is as juicy as you say, I'll cut you in for half of the profit." Justin assured her."Deal."Once she wrapped up the call with Justin, Abigail drafted a concise and clear message detailing the night's events. Then, she hit send.Justin's reply buzzed in almost immediately: [Any specific angles I should focus on?]Abigail: [You handle it. You media types know better than me how to grab people's attention.]Justin: [OK.]Melody and Felix were huddled close, one on each side of Abigail. They had read the contents of her message, and the injustice of it all made their blood boil."Those Guzman people are such low-lives! What have we ever done to them to warrant this kind of harassment?" Melody fumed."I'm going to rip them apart!" Felix smacked his hand on the table and rose as if to storm out. He could not stand to see Abigail treated unfairly, even if he could take the abuse himself.Abigail reached out to stop him. "Fee, cool your jets.
