I was thrilled that Hanson thought of me for this opportunity. I gladly accepted the offer and immediately began preparing the necessary materials for the job. At the same time, I started searching for a new place to live, aiming to move somewhere closer to work and farther away from Abigail.
However, just as I contacted someone about viewing a new apartment, I received a call from Abigail. Her tone was unexpectedly gentle as she playfully asked, "What are you doing? I just got off work. Do you have time to grab dinner with me?"
Since the incident between us, her attitude had noticeably changed. In the past, whenever she called, she spoke to me in a cold and commanding manner. She rarely addressed me with such a playful tone.
It seemed that what had happened last time shifted her perspective. Taking a deep breath, I decided I didn't want to be entangled with her any further. So, I replied coolly, "If there's nothing important, I'm hanging up.
Perhaps my tone was too indifferent because Abigail's voice turned icy. Suppressing her irritation, she coldly responded, "Samuel, you'd better think this through. If you really want a divorce, just saying it won't be enough! You need to make things right to my satisfaction. Do you understand?"
Her words were blunt and left no room for argument. Before I could respond, she darkly instructed, "You need to come to my office right now. If I don't see you, you'll face the consequences!"
