In the end, Abigail agreed to the client's request to compensate him.
"You'll get what you want, but please keep it confidential. Otherwise, everyone will come to me for the design drawings, and I'll have to abandon yours," Abigail explained. She still had a few drawings in stock, so she didn't mind his suggestion.
However, this meant earning significantly less, which annoyed Abigail.
"Okay, I'll definitely remember what you said," the client replied, unable to hide his happiness.
Abigail hung up the phone and noticed Luna looking at her apologetically. She sat down next to Luna and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Did I hold you back from your work?" Luna asked, feeling guilty.
"Not at all. I had some drawings that I hadn't released yet. I was thinking of using them to fill in during these unexpected times. It's okay," Abigail reassured her, stroking her hair affectionately.
Luna responded with an "Oh."
"Can I call Sean? The company has been a bit chaotic recently, and we need him to help maintain order," Abigail said, shaking her phone to ask for Luna's opinion.
"It’s up to you" Luna replied.
"I definitely have to ask for your advice. You're one of the founders of L.Moon. Without you, there wouldn't be L.Moon today," Abigail expressed her respect for Luna.
"It's okay. You can call him. He's good to you, and I trust him," Luna smiled.
Abigail hummed in agreement and dialed Sean's number.
Luna averted her gaze as Abigail was on the phone. Her eyes were downcast as she reminisced about her past self.
How free and happy she used to be. She began to feel a great disgust for her current self.
Just as Abigail's call connected, Luna forcefully smashed the jade bead onto the coffee table.
Abigail immediately hung up the phone and sent a message to Sean, saying, 'I'll call you later.'
...
Sean, who was happy to receive the call, had all his joy extinguished when Abigail abruptly hung up.
He really wanted to ask Abigail what she was up to. Why is she always like this?
Before, she had informed Sean that she was returning to Capitalis and requested him to pick her up at the airport. However, later, she mentioned that she couldn't come back.
Can't she even make a phone call now?
Filled with complaints, Sean sent a message to Xavien, saying, 'Check where Abigail is.'
After sending the message, he quickly retracted it.
'Mr. Graham, what's wrong?' Xavien still replied to his message.
Sean replied, 'Nothing. You go about your business.'
He typed the message and threw his phone to the side. He felt that he and Abigail were back to the way they were before. He was cautious and fearful, trying to maintain their relationship, but he had no idea what was happening on her end.
