Chapter 101
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 101 Threat She took a deep breath and explained to Kevin, âShe might be an assistant, but if I stay when she has to leave, itâd look bad on me.â
Kevin told Luna sternly, âI donât need you to pay me for the breach of contract, but Mr. Graham has invested in this show. Cross him, and you will find the design industry a treacherous place for you.â
Luna glared at him. âIs that a threat? Iâm telling you, if she leaves, Iâm leaving too.â
âWhatâs your reason?â Kevin looked at her quizzically.
âNo reason. Weâre a package. I wonât stay just because of money.â Luna shoved him away.
Kevin looked at her knowingly. He stared at the leaving Luna and chuckled. âYou have to think this through. Mr. Graham hired you to be Joanâs designer. If you break your word and Joan fails her debut, he might come after L.Moon.â
That lit the flames of fury within Luna. She glared at the simpering Kevin. âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â
Kevin stopped smiling. He said seriously, âYouâre smart. Do you think itâs smart to drag L.Moon down for an assistant?â
It was obvious what he was trying to say. She had to stay and keep designing for Joan, but if she stayed, then Abigail had to stay as well, and she had to take the unfair treatment. The rims of Lunaâs eyes went red. It was more annoying to have Abigail take the unfair treatment than if she had to do it herself.
Sean and Abigail shared no love between them, and he was spoiling the homewrecker a lot. Luna couldnât bet L.Moonâs future on the sparse love Sean had for Abigail. L.Moon and Abigail were important to her.
Kevin watched as the dark look on her face disappeared, and Luna went white. He went ahead and smiled. âYou can stay back alone if you want. Iâll get you an assistant. Abigailâs leg is hurt, and she has some family affairs to settle. She can get some rest now.â
Luna went back to the couch and sat down, refusing to talk to Kevin. Kevin couldnât push her further, so he left. Abigail packed up and sat on the couch, keeping quiet. She looked down at her phone, but even after a while, she didnât make any calls.
Luna hadnât come to see Abigail, but Sean had already called Abigail. Abigail took the call, but she didnât say anything.
âWhy arenât you saying anything?â Sean asked coolly.
Abigail asked coldly, âYou called me. You should be the one starting the conversation.â
Sean could hear the dissatisfaction in her voice, and he sounded slightly less cold. âLuna called me. She told me you guys are trying to find a new place to move to, and youâre backing out of the production, are you?â
Abigail paused for a moment. She didnât think Luna would seek Sean out and talk about that. She didnât answer that question.
Instead, she asked, âI have a question for you. Did you invest in this show just to have Joan debut? Does fairness and equity donât matter?â
That was the point of Seanâs investing in this show. He grunted.
The rims of Abigailâs eyes went red. She said, âIf I was the one who took the meds that day, I wouldâve been the one embroiled in a sex scandal. Even so, youâre going to keep the person who almost hurt me just because Joan asked you to?â
âAbigail, you canât do anything without evidence. Whatâs the fairness you want? For me to kick the designer out of the team because they bit another designer?â asked Sean coldly.
Abigail pursed her lips, her eyes glistening with tears.
Sean said, âVictor texted Damian. That we have evidence. He went to the medical team and got the meds. That we have video evidence too. Damian asked someone to get the meds for Victor, and thereâs evidence of his traveling. Why is kicking them out not fair?â
Abigail rasped, âWhat if I believe that Victorâs scapegoated? Canât you find out the truth?â
Sean asked sharply, âYouâre leaving the team because you think I got the wrong person?â
Abigail refused to back down. âYes. There are so many holes in this case, but you think itâs fair. You think the evidence is enough.
If you canât find out the truth, then keep everyone. Youâre keeping Nina around because Joan told you to, didnât she?â
Abigail seldom got mad. From what Sean knew, Abigail might look submissive, but she was actually cool and distant. Even when they were having sex, she could hold back her moans well. But now
