Chapter 41
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 41 Their Relationshipâs Out in the Open Chapter 41 1/7 As more and more people left comments, Joanâs followers increased as well.
འThey were all convinced that Joan was Seanâs 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 Abigailâs gradually darkening expression, Luna took the phone from Abigail. After scrolling through the comments, her eyes blazed with fury.
âDid Kevin team up with Sean to toy with us as if weâre fools? Did they make this program just to disgust us? It shouldnât be called Top Designer. It should be just called Kissing Up to the Mistress!â
As Luna fumed in anger, Abigail hastily took the phone back. She was afraid that Luna would throw the phone.
It was Abigailâs phone.
âWhy are you so upset? Iâm not,â Abigail said with a faint smile.
âSince itâs already been decided, we should just accept it with an open mind.
It doesnât matter. Either way, this will benefit L.Moon. We canât give up on this opportunity just because we donât want to see Joan. Itâs not worth it.â
Abigail sat at her desk and took up her pen as she got ready to rework the designs that she wasnât pleased with.
âYouâre right. Thereâs no guarantee that weâll be assigned to the same team as her anyway.â
Since Abigail wasnât mad, there was no reason for Luna to get riled up on her behalf. She pursed her lips and begrudgingly set this issue aside for now.
Soon after the production teamâs 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 brandâs popularity to rise, just as Abigail had said.
The power of the internet couldnât 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 seasonâs 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?â Luna broke the brief silence.
1 donât know if he went back.â The mention of his name filled Abigailâs heart with mixed emotions.
He was a company president. It didnât seem right to ask him to stay at that tiny place of hers. Furthermore...
The photos that Joan had shared online flashed through Abigailâs 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.
âKevin says the filming will start soon. Iâm not particularly worried about anything, except that there wonât be anyone to stay with Grandma once I join the show.â
Abigail started worrying. She didnât want to trouble Sean and have him continue pretending that they were a loving couple anymore.
âI got the text too. What do you plan on doing?â Luna waved her phone and frowned as she read the text.
âLuna, do you know any reliable housekeepers? I want to hire someone who can stay with Grandma. Sheâs getting old now and her health is getting frail. I donât want to leave her alone at home.â
After thinking about it, Abigail figured it was best for her to get Lunaâs help.
âI knew that would be the case,â Luna replied at once. âDonât worry. Iâll 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 sheâs been taking care of me for years, so you can definitely trust her.â
Abigail didnât expect Luna to be this considerate. She couldnât resist giving her friend a hug. âDonât get married. We can just spend the rest of our lives together.â
Luna declined the arrangement. âI object. Youâll soar to new heights without a man dragging you down, but I will die without one.â
Abigail was speechless.
Once the housekeeper came over, Abigail didnât want to let the woman wait around too long, so she brought her home first. She didnât get in touch with Sean.
He wouldnât want me to try and get in touch with him anyway, Abigail thought. Previously, his relationship with Joan was still a secret, but itâs somewhat out in the open now.
It wouldnât be appropriate for him to come to her place anymore.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Once Sean arrived in Lakevale, he passed his phone to Cameron before entering the meeting room. âGive Abigail a call later. Tell her I wonât be heading home tonight.â
Graham Internationalâs director of sales was supposed to meet with one of the companyâs business partners, but he had been in a car accident. As a result, Sean and Cameron had to rush over to Lakevale at a momentâs notice.
While Sean was busy meeting with the other companyâs 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.
Seanâs 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 Seanâs phone as he decided to let Abigail know tomorrow instead...
