Day Four…

~~*****~~

The next day, Abigail didn’t see Nathan as he went on a business trip. But she already presumed that this business trip had something to do with the Syphiruz Mafia’s operation overseas.

She was left alone in the mansion as Little Ethan had to go to school. Chef Min and his assistant cooks continued to give Abigail a cold shoulder. They were treating her as if she was invisible in the house.

Of course, Abigail didn’t mind them at all. But she was not a forgiving person as well. They got her in trouble by hiding Nathan’s allergy and setting her up so she would find a way to get back at them.

‘Just you wait. I’ll give you your karma, Chef Min,’ Abigail thought to herself, smiling wickedly as she watched the kitchen.

She decided to go outside to breathe some fresh air in the garden. The mansion was filled with negative vibes because of Chef Min and others who made her feel that she was not welcome there.

She found a beautiful yet quiet place in the garden. She squatted on the Bermuda grass and enjoyed the colorful scenery of the flower garden. They said that Nathan designed this beautiful landscape for Monica.

“Hmm, the devil is so sweet and loving towards his woman. I didn’t expect that he had this gentle side.”

Abigail took a deep breath before lying on the Bermuda grass. She stared at the sky blankly and her mind wandered off somewhere.

The memories of her dreams and the passionate moments she shared with Nathan were still fresh in her mind. She still couldn’t comprehend the reason why she dreamed of Nathan.

“That was a wild and strange dream!” She mumbled to herself, a blush subconsciously overtaken her cheeks. She immediately tapped her cheeks, waking herself from those wild thoughts.

She was still enjoying her time alone when someone disturbed her.

“Miss Abi!!!” Butler Li’s voice disrupted the silence of the surroundings.

Abigail raised her eyebrow and sat up to face him.

“What’s wrong?” She asked him, wondering why Butler Li was calling her with urgency in his voice. He even disturbed her ‘me-time’.

“Miss Abi, this is an emergency. Could you please help me? Master Nathan… just informed me today!” Butler Li was panting as he was running a while ago.

“Informed you about what?” Abigail’s eyebrows were drawn together in puzzlement.

“We have an important guest and Master Nathan wants us to entertain him since he is not around,” Butler Li replied in a dramatic tone. He even waved his hands while explaining.

“An important guest?” she repeated.

Butler Li bobbed his head as a response.

“So what does it have to do with me?” Abigail asked, lifting an eyebrow, her mouth took on an unpleasant twist.

Butler Li just smiled sheepishly, scratching his face. “Master requested you to entertain the visitor.”

Abigail pursed her lips and complained, “Why didn’t he tell me by himself?” She was pissed knowing that Nathan had a request but he didn’t initiate to contact her and talk to her personally.

“Don’t be upset with Master, Miss Abi. You don’t have a mobile phone as of now, so he couldn’t call you.” Butler Li justified it as if he was the spokesperson of his master.

Abigail just rolled her eyes and stood up, brushing the dirt on her clothes.

“So who is this VIP guest? What do I have to do?” Abigail asked. Since Nathan specially requested her to do this, she would be glad to comply. Who knows Nathan would treat her well next time? She had to gain more approval points and satisfaction rating from Nathan.

“Engr. Aiden Wu, Master’s best friend.”

Abigail fell silent. She heard that name before. When she was conducting a thorough investigation of Nathan’s profile, aside from Monica, she found two people close to Nathan Sparks– Aiden Wu and Stephen Zhao.

‘I wonder why Aiden Wu comes here even though Nathan is not around. What is his purpose? And Nathan requested me to entertain his friend. What is he scheming now?’ Abigail suddenly felt something suspicious.

“Why is he here?” Abigail asked him again.

“He is here to submit a floor plan of a new establishment for SYP Twilight Corp. But since it is a habit of him hanging around this mansion when he is hiding from someone, he especially comes today, not knowing that Master Nathan has an emergency overseas.”

Abigail rubbed the space between her brows. She heard that Aiden always caused trouble among the three men. His main concern is always about Women!

‘Aiden Wu is a troublesome fellow. But I have to get close with Nathan’s friends and get on their good side.’ Abigail had made up her mind. She would be cautious because Aiden Wu was known as a womanizer.

It did not take long when Abigail followed Butler Li who was walking towards the mansion. Aiden was already waiting for them in the living room.

Aiden immediately stood up as soon as he saw Butler Li and Abigail approaching him. A wide smile plastered on his handsome face. He even waved his hand at Abigail, feeling close to Abigail.

Without waiting for them, Aiden moved closer to Abigail. He wrapped his arms around Abigail’s shoulder and said, “Hey, Miss Beautiful– Aaah!”

He was not able to finish his sentence as Abigail suddenly grabbed his hand, removing it from her shoulder. Then she twisted it hard. It was another natural reflex of her as she didn’t want someone holding her like that.

Butler Li’s eyes widened in surprise, his mouth gaped as he watched Abigail and Aiden who was wincing in pain. This was not what he was expecting Abigail to do.

He told her to entertain Aiden, not to beat him. How would he explain this to his Master Nathan? Besides, Aiden Wu was not someone she could also offend.

‘Miss Abi, what do you think you are doing to Master Aiden? You will get us both in trouble!’ Butler Li covered his face using both hands. He didn’t want to see this.
