Chapter 40
I Want a Divorce
The next day.
When Abigail woke up, she found that the person who was sleeping beside
her had left already.
âOh, Abigail. Youâre awake.â After hearing the sound of the bedroom door
opening, Ana lise got up from the couch and headed into the kitchen to warm
up her granddaughterâs breakfast.
âWhereâs Sean?â Abigail combed through her disheveled hair with her fingers.
The pair of leather shoes by the door was missing.
âSean went out to buy breakfast and left right after. Before he left, he said to
remind you to have your breakfast when you wake up.â
Ana lise brought out a hearty sandwich and a gla*s of warm milk from the
kitchen. Then, she looked at Abigail expectantly. âHow are things going with
you two?â
Well, the sun mustâve risen from the west this morning today. The
cold-blooded businessman has learned how to take care of someone else.
Ana lise had to repeat her question before Abigail snapped out of her
thoughts. She bit down on the sandwich and muttered, âWell⦠same old
same old.â
âLook at how well Sean takes care of you. Youâve been married for three years
now. When are you two going to have a babyâ¦â
Upon seeing that Ana lise was about to start urging her to have a baby again,
Abigail downed the gla*s of milk and ran to the door with the sandwich in
hand.
âIâm going to be late for work, Grandma. Iâll get going now. Take good care of
yourself. Iâll come home at noon to make you lunch.â
Abigail grabbed her purse from the hallway and opened the door.
âAbigail! Why, this girl.â Ana lise quickly called out to Abigail, but as Abigail
closed the door, her voice was cut off.
Abigail took a deep breath before driving to her office.
As soon as she opened the door to the studio, Luna came up to her. âJust in
time, Abigail. I was just about to call you and ask you why you werenât
responding to my texts.â
âWhatâs the matter?â
Abigail put her bag away and eyed an excited Luna curiously.
âTake a look at Twitter yourself.â
Luna waved her phone. She couldnât hide her excitement.
Puzzled, Abigail checked Twitter, only to find that the official announcement
from the production team of Top Designer had topped the trending list. It was
even labeled as the hottest news.
She glanced through the announcement. It was a brief statement
announcing the fact that Alana would be joining the panel as a special guest,
as well as a summary of the program.
âDid you see it, Abigail? Our studio is on the trending list too!â
Luna shook Abigail by the shoulders in exhilaration. The two of them had
sla ved away night after night so that the studio could achieve such success.
Abigail patted Luna on the shoulder before checking the comments.
The commenters left mixed feedback regarding the special guest.
âThis studio isnât an international brand, right? I donât think Iâve heard of them
before.â
âI bought an evening gown from L.Moon before! They have exquisite designs
and my gown flowed beautifully. Looking forward to the program!â
âI heard that Alanaâs designs are all one of a kind. She never repeats any of
her designs. Let me see just how great of a designer she is.â
The comments were divided. L.Moon was a high-end brand with a niche
following, but they were now able to get their name out there to the ma*ses
with the help of the program. If they could seize this chance to promote the
brand well, their reputation would surely soar to even greater heights.
Once Abigail was done reading through Twitter, Luna piped up with sparkling
eyes, âIf we can successfully raise L.Moonâs profile this time, weâll be buried in
new ordersâ¦â
Looks like youâre imagining yourself being buried in money already, Abigail
thought to herself.
âBy the way, donât forget to log into Alanaâs Twitter account and respond to
the announcement.â
Amid her glee, Luna didnât forget about work.
âOh. Thatâs right.â Abigail switched to the Twitter account that belonged to
Alana. As she got ready to respond to the announcement, she started
reading it more seriously.
Immediately, she noticed something.
A familiar name was listed second in the official list of selected models.
âDid Kevin tell you that Joan is one of the main models?â
After a moment of silence, Abigail showed her screen to Luna.
When discussing the collaboration, Kevin only mentioned that three of the
main models would be listed at the top of the list.
Abigail didnât think that Joan would be one of them.
âNope! He didnât even mention it.â
Luna stared at the screen in confusion. The moment she saw the list, her
expression darkened. âWhat do they mean by this? Are they trying to disgust
us on purpose?â
Abigail didnât respond. She fl*pped through the comments again, and soon,
she spotted Joanâs Twitter account.
She clicked on Joanâs profile. Joanâs pinned tweet included two photos of her
with someone else, as well as a photo of an exquisite meal.
From the angle of her photos, one could tell that she was leaning against a
manâs shoulders with a look of absolute bliss.
The person in the photos with her was even more eye-catching. He had a tall
nose and an indifferent gaze. Even though only his side profile could be seen,
it was easy enough for people to identify him as Sean Graham, the president
of Graham International.
In the photos, Joanâs fair neck was a little pink, fueling everyoneâs imagination.
Although it wasnât extremely obvious, the keen eyes of the commenters on
Twitter spotted it.
Abigailâs face hardened. She looked at the comments.
The commenters were all stirred up. Her tweet had almost as many
comments as the production teamâs official announcement, and the number
was steadily rising. Everyone was praising her for her good looks, gorgeous
figure, and great talent.
Two comments received the most likes.
âMiss Gorgeous is already the future wife of the company president, but sheâs
still working so hard on her career. Best of luck!â
âI heard a rumor saying that Sean Graham invested a ton of money in the
program just so she can get on it. Iâm guessing that this program was made
to promote her. Isnât it wonderful to be so loved by someone?â
