Luna was relieved hearing that. So, she already has a plan. "I knew you were a lot more competent than I am. If I'd known you were so smart, I'd never have let you marry that guy and stay a housewife for three years." Luna cursed herself.
Abigail sighed. "Too late for regrets. We can't turn back time."
Luna thought it was a shame. "Yeah. I keep wondering if we'd been running L.Moon together those years, we'd have been famous." Regret would only come to those who'd make grave mistakes.
Abigail was reminded of the case with the Pearsons. Lawrence and Scarlett hadn't been coming to her lately. Eventually, she heaved a sigh.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked, concerned.
"Nothing. Have you talked through everything about the marriage with Josh?" Abigail realized it was getting harder to meet Luna now. She'd never come to the company unless necessary.
"He wants to keep dating me for a couple of years since I don't want to get married this fast." Luna was happy with Josh.
Abigail grunted.
Luna held her hand, asking, "What about you and Sean?"
"Eh, not much progress," said Abigail.
"I wish you would find your happiness too," said Luna. She thought Sean was a worthy man, but if Abigail refused to marry him, it would mean nothing.
"I will. Just take care of yourself," said Abigail gently. She and Sean had a two-year promise. If she couldn't fall in love with him, that meant she didn't love him anymore.
The ladies chatted for a while, and then Josh came out of the room. "She's asleep."
Luna knew he was telling her to go home.
Josh looked at Abigail and hesitated for a while. "Grandpa's out of the ICU. Do you want to see him?"
"If I have time. The company's in trouble lately, so I might get caught up in it," explained Abigail.
Josh thought she was cold-blooded. No matter how much they tried to be friendly to her, she would have an excuse to refuse their advances. He didn't like that attitude, but he nodded. "I see." And he left.
