Chapter 54 If I Didn’t Know
Abigail couldn’t argue with that. It almost felt like this man was a curse on her life.
Luna gave Abigail a glance and comforted her, “Once we finish this job, we’re going to stay a million. miles away from him. That’ll keep his bad luck away
Abigail looked down, her gaze calm. “We don’t have to. We’ll be apart once we get the divorce anyway”
Every time the divorce was mentioned, Luna would get a little agitated. “Honestly, what the hell was he trying to do? He’d work with you to create a scandal?” She chortled. “What an idiot. You guys are a couple. I’ve never seen a couple that needs a scandal for everyone to know they’re together. He’s a
b*stard!”
She had a habit of cursing Sean every day, but every time she did, it only made her angrier.
When they came to the dining hall, Joan was chatting with someone beside her. Noticing Luna, something dark flashed in her eyes, but she quickly put on a smile. “You’re late, Luna. Slept in?”
The ignored Abigail sat down and glanced at Joan. I wonder if that was just a casual question or something more sinister.
Luna sat beside Abigail and half–mocked, “You even know about that? Boy, it’s almost like you’ve been keeping an eye on us through the night.”
There’s no way Joan can win in an argument against Luna. Abigail said nothing and filled Luna’s plate with breakfast like an assistant should.
Feeling awkward, Joan quickly said, “No. Just asking, since I’m curious about what designers do at
night
Luna adjusted her sunglasses and smiled. She enunciated, “We have a ton of designers here. Shall I gather them around and have them tell you their answers?”
Yeah, that’s a conversation–ender right there. I was the one who got kicked out last night.
Wait. Did Alana use her advantage to get into Sean’s room? But Joan was the one who got kicked out. Ooh, a love triangle, hehe.
She then looked at Abigail. She’s dressed in simple clothes. She then looked away
and sheepishly said, “Let’s dig in. There’s no way Sean would even spare this lowly assistant a look.
Once breakfast was over, the host started hyping up the next segment, and the competition was underway. The rules had been explained the day before, and now, they would be announcing the theme of the day.
After a short video, the screen behind the host read ‘Sweet Whispers.
That was the theme of the draft Abigail dropped the night before, and she tightened her grip on her pen. Damn it. Murphy’s Law is at work again.
