Chapter 84
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 84 No Need to Be Overly Cautious Ninaâs gaze toward her was no longer the same. She approached Joan, her tone carrying a hint of flattery. âAbigail has put in quite the effort to seduce Mr. Graham. Sheâs really shameless!â
âIâm sure what you saw last night was intentional on her part,â Joan replied as she fixed her gaze on Nina.
Nina smiled and responded, âDonât worry. Iâll help you. I detest those who become peopleâs mistresses.â
A forced smile momentarily appeared on Joanâs face, but Joan quickly regained her composure. After seeing Nina off, her expression turned cold as she genuinely hated the word âthird partyâ.
Nina returned to her room and wandered around for a while before deciding to look for Damian.
The production team had been as busy as bees since the start of the task. Abigail was skilled and could complete a womanâs dress in half a day.
After they finished their lunch, when Abigail and Luna were about to return to their rooms, Victor stopped them and asked, âDo you have some free time around seven tonight?â
Abigail was puzzled. âIs there something you need?â
Luna approached with a playful smile to tease Victor. âOf course, sheâs free. Are you planning to go on a date with her?â
Abigail knew exactly what Luna was up to.
Blushing, Victor waved his hands in embarrassment and explained, âNo... Youâve misunderstood. I have something to give to her!â
Without waiting for Abigailâs response, he hurriedly walked off while Luna had a mischievous smile.
While in the elevator, she placed an arm around Abigailâs shoulder and asked, âWhat do he wants to give you?â
you think Abigail calmly replied, âWhy did you have to tease him like that and say those kinds of things? Itâs just causing unnecessary trouble.â
âWell,â came Lunaâs explanation. âWe have to let him know that itâs okay to pursue you, especially when you are planning to get a divorce. This young man is quite a catch, not to mention his looks and physique.â
âDonât cause any trouble for him, and I donât want to be involved in such things within the production team. Designing clothes is my primary task.â Abigail insisted in a subdued tone.
Luna clicked her tongue twice, whispering, âBut itâs clear he is interested in you. Heâs just... not very skilled at acting, considering heâs been in the industry for a while. Why pretend to be an innocent guy?â
Abigail didnât think she was so easily swayed by Victorâs good looks, but it seemed she saw through it quite clearly. âIâm not even divorced yet, and Iâm not fooling around,â she replied, her voice laced with a touch of sarcasm. âIâm not Sean.â
During dinner at 5.30PM, Victor attentively provided utensils and drinks to Abigail and Luna. Luna leaned back in her chair and enjoyed Victorâs personal service. After he was done and sat at the dining table, she asked, âWhatâs up with you inviting my assistant? Is there anything important?â
âOh, itâs not something worth discussing right now. Letâs eat first,â he replied mysteriously.
Luna did not press for further details, and the others at the table remained silent, quietly listening to the conversation.
After dinner, when Abigail and Luna left, Nina, Joan, and Damian exchanged glances before they broke into meaningful smiles.
At 7.00PM, Abigail could no longer tolerate Victorâs continuous messages urging her to come. She had no choice but to head over to the garden for their appointment.
Luna noticed that Abigailâs cheeks were a bit flushed, and she appeared somewhat fatigued. She stood up and said, âLet me go on your behalf. He probably helped you to buy medicine for you.â
Abigail glanced at her and asked, âYou already knew?â
âOf course. Your leg seems more serious today, and anyone can see that too, right? I thought Sean, who likes to observe from the shadows, would bring you the medicine. It turns out I was wrong,â Luna replied with a huff.
âWhy didnât you bring the medicine for me then?â Abigail asked playfully.
Luna stood by the door with a somewhat mischievous smile. âIf I had done so, how could I have allowed someone else to be attentive to you?â
Abigail wrinkled her nose but remained silent. She had underestimated Sean, so if he discovered that Victor had brought her medication, he would probably kick Victor out of the production team.
without any hesitation. He wouldnât even get a glimpse of the supposed scene of jealousy.
However, now that Luna went to get the medicine, it could be seen as helping Victor, saving him from unnecessary trouble.
After Luna left, Abigail began to feel that her mouth was dry, and her body temperature was rising.
She reached up to adjust her clothes.
When Luna arrived at the designated location, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her tightly.
