Chapter 65
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 65 Bold and Audacious Sean handed over Abigail to Luna with instinctive gentleness. It was unintentional. Luna only realized Abigail was truly drunk when Abigail pressed on her.
She prayed in her heart that Abigail didnât offend Sean because of her drunkenness, but she still politely said, âThank you, Mr.
Graham, for taking care of my assistant.â
Sean nodded, and his gaze lingered on Lunaâs face for a moment before suddenly asking, âCan you manage?â
âYes,â Luna replied with a smile, but there was a hint of surprise in her heart.
Without thinking much, she quickly helped Abigail up and left.
The live stream chat was still buzzing with excitement.
âSean clearly doesnât want to let go. Five minutes is too short for a man! It should be at least fifty minutes!â
âIâm going crazy! Why didnât the production team install cameras in the room? I wanna see whatâs happening!â
âWill Alana stop at nothing for publicity? She canât get Sean, so she lets her assistant go instead. Doesnât she know he has a girlfriend? Poor Joan. Sheâs really unlucky for appearing on the show with such a jinx.â
âHow much did she drink to get this drunk? I guess sheâs pretending to be drunk. What a scheming woman. Canât they just kick them out of the show already?â
Luna brought Abigail back to their room. After helping her lie down, Luna gently pushed her, asking, âAre you really drunk?â
The person on the bed was unconscious.
Luna sighed and remained silent.
Abigail slept until the following day. She was startled when she woke up and saw Luna sitting next to her. âWhy are you here?â
âItâs almost lunchtime, and I was waiting for you to wake up so we could have lunch,â Luna replied with a smile.
Abigail sat up, massaged her throbbing temples, and felt regretful. âI shouldnât have drunk...â
Luna stood up and walked to the side. âItâs not your fault. Now, get up quickly; the production team has something important to inform us about after lunch.â
In the dining hall, Abigail noticed that many people were looking at her with envy.
Her usual cool demeanor remained unchanged. After Luna had taken her seat and passed Abigail the utensils, Abigail did the same.
Joan sat across from them. She was surprisingly quiet compared to her usual lively self.
Soon, everyone began to eat.
Luna whispered to Abigail, âJoan is unusually quiet today.â
She had expected that Joan would cause trouble today after seeing the intimacy between Abigail and Sean yesterday.
However, Joan remained surprisingly composed.
Abigail whispered back, âLetâs eat.â
After the meal, everyone gathered in the hotelâs lobby.
The host stood on the stage with a microphone while looking delighted as he said, âNow that everyone is here, hereâs todayâs important announcement.â
Abigail noticed the words âSweet Whispersâ flashing on the screen behind the host and immediately turned nervous. She reached out and grabbed Lunaâs hand.
Luna was even more nervous than she was. The preliminary online voting results are out already?
Joan glanced at the two of them with a clearly evident sense of satisfaction in her eyes.
Abigail silently took a deep breath.
âThatâs right. Today is the day for designers to face the audience with their drafts! This is a test of popularity, and it has no connection to the final professional judging results. The rewards are separate.â
This had been mentioned at the beginning of the show.
As soon as the host finished speaking, all the designersâ draft sketches appeared on the screen.
Abigailâs heart tightened to the extreme as she held Lunaâs hand. She immediately searched for her own initial design draft.
âHmm?â Luna immediately spotted Abigailâs draft.
Seeing Lunaâs astonishment, Abigail also saw her own clean and untouched draft.
She felt like a fish that had just been given water, and her back was drenched in sweat. At this moment, she was taking deep breaths and couldnât even speak.
Luna let out a sigh of relief. Goodness knew her heart was about to explode.
Joan couldnât believe her eyes. She almost stood up but managed to restrain herself.
Abigail quickly composed herself, and Luna remained calm as well.
Joanâs chest rose and fell as she tightly squeezed her own palm before turning her head to look at Abigail and Luna with a subtle chill in her eyes.
The other designers who wanted to tarnish Alanaâs reputation were disappointed when they realized that there were no traces of wrongdoing on her draft.
Everyone listened to the host explaining the rules of the online competition, but they soon forgot about it as they werenât paying attention at all.
After Abigail felt relieved, she suddenly remembered her interaction with Sean while she was drunk last night. Thoughts of that kiss made her cheeks flush.
