Lina's beauty was so unconventional that even Abigail, who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and had seen many beauties, was captivated by her.
Intense sadness weighed on Abigail like a giant rock, crushing her spirit.
She stood there, lost in her thoughts until her assistant called out to her several times.
"What's wrong, Ms. Abigail?" the assistant asked.
Abigail didn't respond directly. She glanced at Lina and muttered, "If I were a man, I'd choose her without a second thought."
"What do you mean?" the assistant inquired.
"Forget it." Abigail turned to her assistant. "She's really beautiful."
"Oh…"
"He even bought her drinks... It must be sweet. Seeing them together must be sweet too." Abigail felt a mix of sadness and envy.
Having a crush was like performing in mime. No matter how passionately she performed on stage, the people in the audience couldn't hear anything.
However, she didn't hear what Jacob said to Lina.
"Zuko made this caramel bubble tea for you, and Toph made this almond milk for Renee! The young heirs have been addicted to making not just milk teas but all sorts of desserts and snacks lately. They'll be serving them to you in the future, so stay tuned!"
"I'm sorry, Jacob. You're so busy, yet they made you do the delivery! By the way, why didn't they come themselves?" Lina asked.
"Because..." He smiled. "Mrs. Hamerton asked them to stay and clean the kitchen!"
Lina smiled happily, expressing her gratitude. After receiving the drinks, she waved goodbye.
"Ms. Abigail, Ms. Abigail!" the assistant softly reminded her. "Mr. Welsh has left. Should we... go too?"
"Oh, sure."
Abigail felt down, but as soon as she turned around, someone patted her shoulder.
