Chapter 260 Take a Step Back

Sean glanced at him coldly, asking, “Are you suggesting I’m lesser than Eric?”

Met with Sean’s gaze, Kevin immediately backed away. “I was just analyzing this from Abigail’s

perspective.”

“Seems like you think I’m not suffering enough.” Sean quickened his pace after saying that.

“Hey! Wait for me!” He ran after Sean.

As soon as she boarded the plane, Abigail sat down and put on her sunglasses and earplugs to

prepare for sleep.

She wouldn’t know how Eric would handle the situation and what his company would do for the time

being. But she was willing to give his company the benefit of the doubt as she waited to see if Eric

would disappoint her.

She slept well during the two–hour flight. When the plane landed, she was woken up by the flight

attendant while Kevin teased, “Everyone’s anxious about the dire situation, yet you can still sleep

peacefully.”

“Are you talking about the matter with Mr. Davison?” Abigail rubbed her eyes as she yawned.

“Who else could it be? His company released a statement. It’s like Sean predicted. They are throwing

you under the bus.” Kevin felt hopeless for her. She was sleeping, so getting anxious was pointless for

him and Sean.

“I’ll deal with this if Eric doesn’t.” Abigail twisted the cap of a bottle of water and took a sip.

She was still dazed and didn’t want to think about anything too complicated.

Sean exited the toilet at the moment, and his gaze landed on her face. “So, you’re still going to wait for

Eric to handle this?”

And Sean stayed silent.

“Yes.” She nodded, but he remained silent.

After exiting the airport, Abigail received Luna’s phone call.

“Eric’s company is trash! It was no wonder your call couldn’t go through. They were waiting for this. I’ll

release the statement now and post that video!” Luna was fuming as she scolded.

They had given his company some good faith but were tricked instead.

Those who were in the entertainment industry were indeed deceitful and evil.

“Don’t panic. Let’s see what Eric has to say about this,” Abigail stopped her since there was no need to

rush things now since she lost the opportunity as she didn’t want to make enemies.

“Can we trust him? What if that punk hid himself when he saw that his company’s statement was going

to benefit him?” Luna’s tone was filled with worry.

“That’s fine. He helped me once, and Lowe it to him. I can consider it repaid since I saved his

reputation this time,” Abigail answered gently.

Hearing that, Luna said bitterly, “We’ll become better and stronger. Then, there’ll only be people owing

us favors!”

She still didn’t know that Eric saved Analise and thought that Abigail was referring to the time he helped

Abigail retort Laura at the set.

“Yes. That day will come. I have good news for you when I’m home. A huge one!” Abigail laughed and

comforted her.

Her excited tone made Sean glance at her unconsciously.

He got the news that Ronaldo had some good stuff on hand, so Abigail probably bought it from him and

was probably excited about that.

“Sure. I’ll wait for your good news,” Luna answered immediately.

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Abigail’s face didn’t disappear yet.

All her bad mood vanished at the thought of the pearls from Ronaldo. It seemed that working with

Ronaldo was a better option.

“What good news?” Kevin was quite a busybody.

“It has nothing to do with you. I’m not telling you. Do you want some fruit tea when we exit the airport?

My treat.” Abigail glanced at him. Her attitude toward him was much warmer compared to when she

was talking to Sean, as she saw Kevin as a friend.

It made Sean wonder if he was a stranger in her eyes.

“Wait. I just bought you a drink in Eastbay, and you’re rushing to return the favor now?” Kevin

pretended to be hurt as he put his hands on his chest. “Can’t you let this favor last longer? You can

treat me the next time I go to L.Moon.”

“Have I not treated you when you come to my office?” Abigail was speechless.

“I’ll drink if you tell me it’s not to return the favor in Eastbay.” Kevin put his hands down and looked at

her with puppy eyes.

Then, Sean gave him a side–eye. “Can you stop acting?”

“I was just trying to cheer her up. Alright. Fine, I’ll drink whatever fruit tea Abigail gives me.” Kevin knew

that Sean was secretly getting jealous again.

After getting Kevin the drink, Sean told her that he didn’t want to drink as he didn’t want to make things

awkward for Abigail since he knew she didn’t want to treat him.

Then, Abigail got into a cab as Kevin sipped on the tea. “She even rejects sitting in your car… Sigh.”

“Shut up,” Sean ordered coldly.

Kevin laughed and got in Sean’s car after him. He took out his phone and immediately saw a post from

Eric.

“Eric really made a post!” He frowned and immediately clicked on the post.

If Eric handled this well, Sean was in danger.

Which woman wouldn’t be moved for a man who would take on all the pressure for her?

On the other hand, Abigail still didn’t know about Eric’s post as she sat in the cab.

She took out a small bag of pearl samples that Ronaldo gave her from her bag with a giddy smile.

She couldn’t display her love for pearls in Eastbay, fearing that he would catch onto it. After all, he was

a seller and would raise the prices if he knew she liked them.
