Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 727

The topic of studying history quickly faded from Andrew's mind as he became engrossed in the television.

After spending a few days at Martin's house, Simond established a connection with the design competition organizers. The competition schedule was changed, and the process was extended to nearly a year.

Late at night, while preparing a midnight snack, Abigail called Sean.

"Yes, the competition schedule has changed. It looks like I'll have to stay here for at least ten months," she apologized to him. "I didn't expect this, but I've already signed the contract. If I back out, there will be a hefty penalty, and besides, I really want to win the prize."

Of course, winning the prize was already guaranteed.

However, the competition that she participated in was not very significant. With her abilities, participating in such a competition was simply adding prestige to her name.

Winning a prize was an effortless task for her.

And because of the guaranteed award, she felt guilty. She had also invested a lot of money in the competition and more than tripled the original prize pool. Anyone who participated in the competition and received an outstanding award would receive a considerable amount of money.

"Ten months... That's too long," he said reluctantly.

"Yeah." She agreed and felt guilty about lying. If she could still go back and see him from time to time, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, the main problem was that there was no possibility of going back at all.

"In that case, I'll come over when I have time to see you." Sean didn't want to sound like he was blaming her. She had her own pursuits, and he would support her, even though he had doubts about the situation.

"Okay." Abigail reluctantly agreed. She planned to figure out a way to stop him when he decided to visit.

After ending the call with Abigail, Sean immediately called Kevin.

Kevin answered promptly.

"Do you know anything about her going to Perou for a design competition?" Sean asked. He felt that Kevin, as his friend, would tell him if there were any issues on Abigail's end.

Kevin hesitated for a moment and replied, "I don't know much about it. You know I'm not interested in those competitions."

"So, she really is participating in the competition, right? Kevin, you're not lying to me, are you?" Sean's voice carried a hint of coldness.

"Sean, why would I lie to you? What's the point?" Kevin's voice rose. He was perspiring from his guilt.

Thankfully, he had checked out Johnson Hospital's research lab and made sure it was safe enough to keep Abigail out of harm's way.

Otherwise, if he continued to deceive Sean like this, they could forget about being best friends anymore.
