Chapter 41
1/7
As more and more people left comments, Joan’s followers increased as well.
བ
They were all convinced that Joan was Sean’s future wife.
Even a few lesser-known models from East Joy Talent commented on the
tweet. Although they carefully selected their words, they were basically
wishing Joan well in her relationship.
The shirt that Sean wore in the photos was the one whose button Abigail
ripped off last night.
Noticing Abigail’s gradually darkening expression, Luna took the phone from
Abigail. After scrolling through the comments, her eyes blazed with fury.
“Did Kevin team up with Sean to toy with us as if we’re fools? Did they make
this program just to disgust us? It shouldn’t be called Top Designer. It should
be just called Kissing Up to the Mistress!”
As Luna fumed in anger, Abigail hastily took the phone back. She was afraid
that Luna would throw the phone.
It was Abigail’s phone.
“Why are you so upset? I’m not,” Abigail said with a faint smile.
“Since it’s already been decided, we should just accept it with an open mind.
It doesn’t matter. Either way, this will benefit L.Moon. We can’t give up on this
opportunity just because we don’t want to see Joan. It’s not worth it.”
Abigail sat at her desk and took up her pen as she got ready to rework the
designs that she wasn’t pleased with.
“You’re right. There’s no guarantee that we’ll be a*signed to the same team
as her anyway.”
Since Abigail wasn’t mad, there was no reason for Luna to get riled up on her
behalf. She pursed her l*ps and begrudgingly set this issue aside for now.
Soon after the production team’s official announcement, the phone at the
studio began ringing off the h ook. The sudden spotlight brought the studio a
large number of new orders. Many clients wanted to have an outfit designed
by Alana before the program became even more popular. Luna and the
sales team were extremely busy. Soon, they experienced what it was like for
the brand’s popularity to rise, just as Abigail had said.
The power of the internet couldn’t be underestimated. This was something
the two women came to understand today. In just a single day, the studio
maxed out on their orders. Some of the customers who were worried about
not being able to get their hands on an outfit asked to order all the available
designs. Even last season’s designs had been ordered too.
The two women and their staff stayed late at work. It was only after 8.00PM
when everyone else had left that Abigail and Luna finally stopped working
and slumped onto the couch.
1s Sean still staying at your place?” Luna broke the brief silence.
1 don’t know if he went back.” The mention of his name filled Abigail’s heart
with mixed emotions.
He was a company president. It didn’t seem right to ask him to stay at that
tiny place of hers. Furthermore…
The photos that Joan had shared online flashed through Abigail’s mind. She
closed her eyes and forced herself not to think of it. When she picked her
phone up, she noticed a new text.
Amid her exhaustion, she checked the text. It was from Kevin who was
informing her that she needed to get ready to start filming for the show.
“Kevin says the filming will start soon. I’m not particularly worried about
anything, except that there won’t be anyone to stay with Grandma once I join
the show.”
Abigail started worrying. She didn’t want to trouble Sean and have him
continue pretending that they were a loving couple anymore.
“I got the text too. What do you plan on doing?” Luna waved her phone and
frowned as she read the text.
“Luna, do you know any reliable housekeepers? I want to hire someone who
can stay with Grandma. She’s getting old now and her health is getting frail. I
don’t want to leave her alone at home.”
After thinking about it, Abigail figured it was best for her to get Luna’s help.
“I knew that would be the case,” Luna replied at once. “Don’t worry. I’ll tell the
housekeeper at my house to come over today. You can take her back with
you. She used to work for my family too and she’s been taking care of me for
years, so you can definitely trust her.”
Abigail didn’t expect Luna to be this considerate. She couldn’t resist giving her
friend a hug. “Don’t get married. We can just spend the rest of our lives
together.”
Luna declined the arrangement. “I object. You’ll soar to new heights without a
man dragging you down, but I will die without one.”
Abigail was speechless.
Once the housekeeper came over, Abigail didn’t want to let the woman wait
around too long, so she brought her home first. She didn’t get in touch with
Sean.
He wouldn’t want me to try and get in touch with him anyway, Abigail
thought. Previously, his relationship with Joan was still a secret, but it’s
somewhat out in the open now.
It wouldn’t be appropriate for him to come to her place anymore.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Once Sean arrived in Lakevale, he pa*sed his phone to Cameron before
entering the meeting room. “Give Abigail a call later. Tell her I won’t be
heading home tonight.”
Graham International’s director of sales was supposed to meet with one of
the company’s business partners, but he had been in a car accident. As a
result, Sean and Cameron had to rush over to Lakevale at a moment’s notice.
While Sean was busy meeting with the other company’s representatives,
Cameron was busy with all kinds of logistics matters too. It was already past
1.00AM when he recalled what Sean had told him to do.
Sean’s phone ran out of battery, and Sean was still in a business meeting.
Mrs. Graham is probably asleep by now.
Cameron was too afraid to disturb Abigail. He began charging Sean’s phone
as he decided to let Abigail know tomorrow instead…
