Chapter 258

Chapter 258 She’s Too Young After All The meaning behind her words was clear. She would handle this situation rationally for the sake of L.Moon’s development, but she wouldn’t allow his past kindness toward her to put the company in danger. Compared to him, her own career was more important.

Upon realizing this, Eric suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. Unbeknownst to Abigail, his feelings for her didn’t stem from their interactions in Ragos. In reality, he had committed her to memory when he first saw her at his friend’s place and heard her phone ring. It was just that she was secretly married to Sean at the time, so he had no way of knowing her whereabouts; all he knew was that her stage name was Alana. “Sorry.” His voice was strained with an almost imperceptible quaver in it.

“There’s no need to apologize. I know you didn’t mean it.” Abigail offered him a way out, not wanting to embarrass him too much.

“Thank you. I’ll take care of it without putting you in a tight spot,” said Eric awkwardly before hanging up.

Sean shifted his gaze toward Abigail. From her words, he roughly figured out what they had said to each other. At least he doesn’t act like he never existed. Well, I’ll just wait and see how he’s going to take care of this.

Abigail, her mood somewhat affected, looked out the car window and let out a soft sigh with her phone in hand. How much simpler things would’ve been if we were just ordinary friends. Why did he suddenly have to cross the Rubicon like that?

After they had breakfast, Ronaldo drove them to the airport. “Babe, call me anytime if you ever want any seafood,” he said, sounding reluctant to part ways with her.

Abigail’s lips curled into a smile. “Sure! Thank you for taking care of us these past few days.”

Kevin teased, “Mr. Fernandez, don’t treat us differently. Can any of us call you if we want to have seafood?”

“Of course,” replied Ronaldo generously.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Abigail couldn’t help but urge. “You should go back first. We still have to wait here for over an hour before the plane arrives. You can’t leave matters aside and keep waiting with us.” She felt awkward having him stay with them any longer.

your “Alright.”

After Ronaldo left, she went to the waiting area with Sean and Kevin. After they seated themselves, Kevin went shopping at the stores in the airport on the excuse of buying local specialty products from Ragos, leaving Abigail and Sean alone.

The two of them were usually close, and Sean never felt any pressure when communicating with her. Today, however, he furrowed his brow, unable to find a suitable topic despite rehearsing countless times in his mind. “You and Ronaldo-”

Just when he finally began to speak, Abigail’s phone rang.

Sean immediately bit his lip.

Abigail darted a look at him before taking out the phone. Seeing that it was a call from Luna, she promptly answered it.

“Abby, how did you discuss the situation with Eric? His talent agency just called me, and I think they want both sides to discuss this together. We can’t clarify the situation unilaterally; they said it wouldn’t do us any good to damage Eric’s reputation either,”

explained Luna to Abigail in a serious tone.

“Eric seems to disagree with his agency because of this. What about you? How do you think we should deal with this?” Abigail suddenly felt somewhat irritable. This incident is an undeserved misfortune for me. Why do I have to consider so many things?

“If we insist on dealing with this in our way, we might indeed offend Eric’s agency-

“What are you doing?”

Before Luna could finish speaking, Abigail’s phone was snatched by Sean. “Now that L.Moon has gained some international reputation, offending someone like Eric won’t be a big deal. And besides, his agency is pretty much nothing to me. I sent flowers when L.Moon was trending on Instagram. Do they not know who is behind L.Moon?” he said to Luna in a calm voice, implying that he could also back L.Moon up.

“Mr. Graham, I appreciate your willingness to help us, but as the saying goes, relying on oneself is always better than relying on others. If we offend Eric and his company based on your advice today, what if you have another lady friend in the future, and she’s unhappy with L.Moon for some reason? Who can L.Moon rely on, then?” Luna’s voice sounded polite, but her words carried a sarcastic undertone.

“So, you’re planning to let Abigail suffer?” Sean’s voice grew colder at once.

“Give me back my phone!” Abigail was starting to get upset.

your “L.Moon’s affairs should be discussed between Abby and me. There’s no need for involvement, Mr. Graham. I appreciate your kindness in providing me with the surveillance footage, and I’ll send you a thank–you gift for that. However, I don’t want you meddling in L.Moon’s affairs,” said Luna firmly. She didn’t trust Scan. Abby has submitted to humiliation in the past for L.Moon’s sake and her grandmother, but now, she doesn’t need to do so anymore. L.Moon has slowly gained confidence. No matter how tough it gets, we no longer need help from the person who hurts Abby the most!

Abigail grabbed her phone back and stood up, heading toward the ladies‘ restroom. “We’ll take our time discussing this, so don’t worry,” she whispered to Luna.

Sean leaned back in his seat, his eyes extremely cold. He had only himself to blame for Luna’s strong opposition toward him now. He was willing to accept being disliked as part of the consequences, but the situation was far from as simple as Luna and Abigail thought. Eric might not have ill intentions, but what about the people around him? Wouldn’t they try to harm Abigail and L.Moon to protect his reputation?
