Abigail remained stunned momentarily but eventually smiled and replied, "Hehe, what a coincidence... it's quite a coincidence."
Jacob started to sweat on his nose. He stood while she sat and scooped a small piece of cheesecake into her gently gaping mouth, savoring it slowly.
His heart skipped a beat, and it felt as if he could see the world's fleeting brilliance all at once. He smiled foolishly, completely unaware of Gia's resentful gaze.
"Jacob!"
"Huh?" Jacob snapped out of his thoughts. "Do you... Do you need something?"
Gia paled with anger. She was about to throw a tantrum but then caught Jackie's warning gaze. She shrank back and obediently held the umbrella from behind.
The umbrella was large enough to accommodate both Abigail and Jacob. By holding it for them, Gia seemed to have become their servant!
Jackie chuckled to himself on the side before straightening his posture and clearing his throat with a snort.
Jackie recalled something. "Oh, by the way, Abigail, Ms. Jenner called you just now, but you were busy with a scene, so I answered it... She mentioned an important event the day after tomorrow and hopes you can attend."
"Mm." Abigail nodded. "As the ambassador for the Thompson Group, I should follow her arrangements. Please check my schedule. If there are any conflicting events, prioritize the Thompson Group event."
"Don't worry!" Jackie's eyes darted around before he gave Abigail a look. "Uh... Do you need an assistant that day?"
Abigail didn't catch on at first. However, she knew Jackie well. Although he had a lot to say, he wasn't one to nag about trivial matters like bringing along an assistant.
