When Abigail emerged from the kitchen, she received a message from Simond. 'Josh saw you guys.'
Abigail trembled as she read the message. 'You must be kidding.'
'Do I look like I'm kidding? Here's the plan. Give him my address, and I'll talk to him. Luna can't find out he's here.'
There was no way Abigail could keep Luna from knowing that Josh was here.
'I'll send it to him, but you keep him at your place. I'll come over later.'
She had been cautious of Sean but had forgotten to be on guard against Josh. She thought Josh was not interested in her affairs, yet the person she least expected turned out to be the most surprising.
'Okay.'
After sending the message to Simond, Abigail sent another message to Josh.
'Are you in Saraville?'
In the next second, Josh's call came in. Abigail answered the call as she returned to her room. She closed the door and went into the bathroom.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? Did you inform Sean?" Abigail's voice was somewhat anxious.
"I didn't tell him. I just wanted to know what you were up to. Sean argued with you, but you still have to leave. So, I suspect it's something else," Josh explained.
"I didn't expect you to come over. Stay at Simond's place, and I'll come over later." After saying this, Abigail hung up the phone and sent the address to Josh.
'Who is Simond?'
'Don't ask too many questions. Just trust me.'
She feared that Luna's people would ruin her and Simond's plan if they found out about this. However, for some reason, Abigail felt relieved by Josh's involvement.
After watching a movie with Luna and convincing her to rest, Abigail took advantage of the night and went to Simond's hotel. As soon as she entered Simond's room, she saw Josh sitting on the couch, looking drowsy. She quietly walked over and suddenly slapped his shoulder.
Josh was startled awake. He opened his eyes and looked at Abigail. "Explain."
Simond came out of the room in his pajamas with his chest exposed. Seeing this, Josh immediately stood up and said, "How can you dress like this? Don't you have any sense of decency?"
Simond gave him a puzzled look. "What I wear is none of your business."
"Abigail has a boyfriend. It's not appropriate for you to dress like this." Josh frowned, clearly disgusted.
