Chapter 354 Sealana Fans Never Back Down
“I don’t understand, but I respect your mindset,” Abigail replied candidly. After all, she had never experienced the loss of a daughter, making it challenging for her to empathize completely. Furthermore, her sentiments toward Kelly were far from favorable.
Scarlett spoke authoritatively, “It’s okay if you don’t understand. All you have to do is to remember my words from now on. You must design the clothes, and for your own good, you should think carefully about it. If you insist on doing things your way, don’t blame me for making things hard.”
Abigail chuckled and responded, “I’ll be waiting then, Madam Harper.” Then, she promptly hung up the phone.
Abigail’s behavior left Scarlett seething with frustration. Scarlett had a*sumed her tone carried authority, but it turned out that Abigail had no fear whatsoever.
Abigail’s face involuntarily grew colder after ending the call. As she reached the studio, she spotted Josh positioned at the entrance while Cameron stood there with a frosty countenance, engaging in a silent standoff.
“Abigail,” Josh called out as soon as he saw her.
She nodded and asked, “So early?”
Josh hesitated, unsure of what to say.
“Come in,” Abigail said before heading into the studio.
In the meantime, Cameron was bewildered and huffed in response to Josh’s entrance.
Once inside the office, Josh sat down, and she asked, “Are you here because you knew your mother called me this morning?”
“Last night, I told Kelly about going back, and she got really angry. We had a big fight this morning, and you know the rest of the story,” he explained.
Abigail leaned back on the couch without saying anything, considering that she shouldn’t be discussing this matter with Josh. However, given his quick apology yesterday, she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.
I’m here to tell you that you can call me anytime if my family causes any trouble for you. I will also do my
best to prevent such things from happening,” he said. Initially, he wanted to call her about this, but he thought it might be better to come in person.
After hearing this, Abigail nodded and said, “Okay. Since you put it that way, I won’t have to worry about it.” With him supporting her, she felt it wouldn’t be much of a problem. She continued, “I’m
1/3
really busy lately. The studio has stopped taking orders, and we’re fully booked.” She softened her stance, providing Josh with a legitimate reason for her actions. After all, he needed a suitable reason to help her deal with his family.
He acknowledged her explanation with a simple, “Alright, I understand.” Then, he promptly left
after their conversation.
Today, Abigail brought some threads and fabrics to her studio. After Josh left, she asked her a*sistant to help her carry them.
The a*sistant, who resented Josh due to Kelly, couldn’t help but mutter, “Why does he keep coming to our studio every few days? There are so many designers here, yet he specifically wants to see you. I bet he has ill intentions!” She grumbled as she helped Abigail with the stuff.
Abigail replied with a question, trying to make her a*sistant reflect. “Instead of criticizing people, what about yourself? You were always gossiping with Cameron.” She handed the a*sistant a piece
of fabric.
Startled by Abigail’s response, the a*sistant quickly explained, “I’m not gossiping, but I heard from Mr. Hopkins that Mr. Graham cares about you. What do you think?”
Abigail was taken aback and nearly choked on her saliva due to the a*sistant’s unexpected comment. She reacted by saying. “You were talking about this with him all the time? Are there not many things for you to do?” She intentionally put on a stern face.
“I only talk to him during meals. I’m very serious about my work.” The a*sistant was afraid that Abigail would scold her. “However, it’s true that you mind that Mr. Graham is with Kelly. Just tell him about it. Cameron said Mr. Graham will give you a satisfactory answer if you ask him about it.” She was a huge fan of “Sealana”. Thus, she hoped that Abigail and Sean could be together.
“Who told you I mind about it? Also, don’t tell Cameron about the things you heard between me and Miss Smith in the office. He is Graham’s man. How can you not be aware of this?” Abigail knew her a*sistant had misunderstood this matter. After all, she was a young girl with a vivid imagination and wild fantasies about love, especially since she hadn’t been in a romantic relationship before. Thus, her a*sistant had high hopes for love. Hence, she could easily misinterpret the things they said.
“I didn’t talk to him about work stuff. We were just gossiping.” The a*sistant felt kind of embarra*sed.
Abigail sighed and looked at her. “You’re here to learn and earn money. Look at how long you’ve been here, yet you’re still doing miscellaneous tasks. When you have free time, come to the workroom with me and learn embroidery.”
“Ah…” The a*sistant let out a lament. At that moment, she felt she shouldn’t have asked Cameron about the gossip since she had now put herself in a difficult position.
Abigail sighed and shook her head as she watched the a*sistant’s reaction. “You’re still young. You
2/3
should be focusing on learning these things. Slacking off won’t do you any good.”
“Alright,” the a*sistant replied, disheartened.
When Abigail went to the workroom, the a*sistant ran outside and punched Cameron before heading back to the workroom to learn.
On the other hand, Cameron looked at her bewildered and muttered to himself, “Did Mr. Graham do anything to make Ms. Quinn angry again?”
