Chapter 294 Does Mr Graham Know?
Alfie received a phone call during their meal. He immediately dropped his sycophantic demeanor and furrowed his brows. His whole presence became assertive and was impossible to ignore.
Abigail thought to herself that this guy looked quite intimidating when he got serious.
“Are you sure it’s related to the Pearsons? All right. I’m having a meal with Ms. Quinn-” He hadn’t. even finished his sentence when Abigail snatched his phone away from him.
“We’re done eating. Send us the address, and we’ll come right away,” she said before ending the call and handing the phone back to Alfie, who looked somewhat resigned.
Then, he took his phone and said, “This meal was quite expensive. Please consider my wallet and also the feelings of the uneaten food. They will feel unappreciated.”
“We’ll come again next time, and it’ll be my treat. My grandmother is more important,” she replied firmly.
Alfie stood up while muttering, “Mr. Graham wouldn’t want you to handle things on an empty stomach, but you’re the biggest…”
Abigail didn’t pay attention to his quiet muttering. Instead, she took her bag and vacated the premises.
Not long after they got in the car, Abigail received a strange
call.
Alfie was sitting beside her as he watched her hesitate as to whether she should answer. He playfully extended his hand and pressed the answer button for her.
She was shocked by his behavior. When she snapped back to her senses, she wished she could punch him.
Alas, he simply acted in a goofy manner and motioned for her to answer despite being the recipient of her ferocious glare.
Abigail reluctantly pressed the speaker button. Meanwhile, Alfie didn’t hesitate to lean closer and eavesdrop on the conversation.
“Is this Ms. Quinn?” the person on the other end of the line asked.
“Yes. Who are you?” Abigail replied coldly.
“I’m a staff member at the train station. The owner of this phone has fainted in the train station restroom. We found your contact information in her phone. Can you please come to the station to accompany her to the hospital if it’s convenient for you?”

Abigail hesitated while looking at Alfie.
He found the situation incredibly perplexing…
So, he took out his phone and made a call.
After she hung up, she stared at him without saying anything.
Alfie’s call got through, and he asked with a sardonic smile playing on his lips, “Are you guys playing a prank on me? Ms. Quinn received a call from the train station staff saying her grandmother was there. Did you guys leave your brain in the trash while you’re on the job?”
Abigail leaned closer to eavesdrop.
