"Understood. Congratulations." Abigail said with a heartfelt smile.
"Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I? You want to develop a branch in City A, which is worth celebrating. I only felt it was all of a sudden." Abigail said calmly.
"Well, a bit. How about celebrating it together tonight?" Leo said.
"Are you available tonight?"
"Even if I am not, I have to make time. Work could never be done clearly. Besides, I'm glad to have you celebrate it with me." Leo said.
"Then, can I bring a friend with me?" Abigail asked.
"Of course, that's great. I'd like to meet your friend." Leo said.
He grew up abroad. For him, meeting her relatives or friends was nothing but an affirmation. Leo was very happy about it.
But Abigail didn't think so...
"Well, see you tonight."
"Okay."
Abigail hung up the phone, threw the newspaper aside, and began to concentrate on breakfast. After that, she hurried to work.
Her colleagues were all talking about the big news.
As soon as Abigail went in, they caught her and gossiped, "Abigail, this returnee is so wealthy." They said excitedly, holding the newspaper.
Even if Abigail didn't read the newspaper, she knew what they were talking about.
"Ah?" Abigail asked, raising her eyebrows as if she knew nothing.
"Don't you know?" The colleague asked.
"I know that he's from a decent family and runs a company in London. But I have no idea of his family property." Abigail said.
