By the time Hunter and Abigail were back from their honeymoon, Ethan had already left for Manhattan. Abigail’s showroom was almost done and she wanted to make it functional before next week.
Today was his first day at the office. He wanted to get done with the floors’ visit. Abigail went to the showroom and promised him to reach the office for the scheduled meeting.
After taking a detailed report from James and Mrs. Ann he stood up for taking the rounds which were overdue. Today it was supposed to take time because he needed to meet and greet the employees. He wanted to observe the environment.
Upon reaching the working floor, he found some commotion going on. With knitted brows, he reached to the cabin which used to belong to Abigail.
There was some heated argument going on. Jian who was now occupying it was being loud to two workers who worked under the Security head, Costner Alan.
“What is going on?” The cold voice made t
She was taking small sips of her coffee. It had been two days since they were back from their honeymoon, and her desire for Hunter was now making her crazy.It was making her stay awake late.Lying beside him and then pretending that she was sleeping was becoming a struggle. Thinking of it, she tried to stifle a yawn.The way he used to talk to her, his smile, his dressing sense, the way he frowned. She did not know how to control this damn stupid feeling which would not let her sleep. She tried to take a sip from her cup and realized that her coffee was finished.F*ck. Why so soon? She wanted to throw the cup when she heard muffled words and laughter telling her that she had said it loudly AND she was not alone.She raised her head and noticed that she was in the conference room full of people and there was a meeting going on. Several pairs of eyes were watching her.Shit. How could I forget that! She nervo
“Abigail! Tomorrow, there would be a charity ball from our biggest business rival. We both need to be there.” Hunter said while still engrossed in his laptop.“Would it be okay if I reach the office late tomorrow? … I mean more late than usual?”She was in bed, ready to sleep in his t-shirt and cotton shorts.“Yes, why?” Hunter raised his face from the laptop.“I need to go shopping.” He regarded her for a few seconds and then closed his laptop. For some unknown reason, he seemed happy.“Take the car and driver with you. He would accompany you throughout.”“You mean the whole time? Why?” she asked while going through her messages“For security.” He said while climbing on the bed. “I would leave my credit card. You would get yours in around two days.”Putting aside her phone, she sat up not understanding a thing, “Credit
Abigail was getting ready for the ball. Hunter was supposed to pick her but it was getting out of route for him.She insisted that she would reach there on her own. Though Hunter was persistent she warned him that if he would not listen to her, she would never use his credit card again.She also threatened him that she might give back the showroom and the house too.With a chuckle, Hunter did agree.Molly was there to help her with the makeover.“Moll. Please don’t turn me into a witch.” Her friend was applying God knows what things on her face, “Now don’t turn me into a cake. Hunter might not like something cakey but would prefer something spicy this time in bed.”“Shut up, Abigail. Let me do my job, better do yours… That is to zip it up.” Molly gestured towards her mouth.Abigail was quiet for the next hour which was very rare.“I am doing a smoky eye.” Moly t
Breathe Abigail. Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Good girl.She was standing before the giant door at the end of the corridor. The guard checked her invitation and ushered her in.The moment she entered the door she raised her chin, straightened her posture, and managed a confident grin on her face.Men started checking her out with interest but Abigail did not seem to notice them. She was looking for the one and only.Her eyes were combing the crowd around her when suddenly her eyes fell on a group of men. He was there, with his back towards her.She could easily recognize him anywhere maybe because of his distinguished height and broad shoulders.His shoulder blades tensed a bit under his jacket sensing her presence. He gradually turned around with a wine glass in his hand and could not control the gasp escaping his lips.There stood his wife.Well! Seemed like his wife.This was not his usual coffee girl.The
Next day upon waking up when she went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast for him. Usually, it used to be pancakes smothered with maple syrups covered with berries or an English muffin topped with Nutella or cream cheese accompanied with a cup of coffee.They used to enjoy their breakfasts but today she was planning to make something unusual and a little lavish.She started preparing cinnamon rolls with caramel sauce, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce for Eggs Benedict. She was doing it quickly to do everything in time.After everything was ready, she started setting the table. She knew it wasn’t much but she wanted to make something different to make him happy.“Kevin. Please send fresh coffee when Hunter comes down.” She said taking a look at her small effort.“Mr. Levisay has already left for the office, Ma’am!” Butler informed her.Abigail went rigid but then recovered quickly trying to for
She had been sitting idly in her office since morning. There was no meeting scheduled for today. Usually, she used to enjoy this time teasing Hunter.It had been five fuc*king days since their study room smooching contest.It had been five days since that silly episode, she had barely seen her husband. He was reaching home late, after almost her bedtime. He would change and then would dash to his study for some unknown project. Mornings had become worse. He was leaving earlier even before she woke up.It had been five days, despite coming to the office daily he was no more sharing the office with her but was using the conference room for his work and meetings.Everyone at the office knew about the workload so nobody seemed to notice this change. Plus Hunter had maintained a cordial relationship with her especially when a third person accompanied them.She was missing him like hell.Just then somebody entered the office.Is i
Aiden Wyatt’s house was not as big as Hunter’s but it sure had extra bedrooms, a private pool, and a beautiful garden.After so many sleepless nights in San Francisco, Abigail, at last, managed to sleep peacefully. Instead of giving her a guest room, Wyatts had offered her their late daughter’s room.The next morning when she came down, she saw Aiden Wyatt kissing Carol in the living room. Smiling to herself she cleared her throat while taking a seat around the dining table. Carol jumped up but Aiden just pulled away a little with his arms still around his wife to keep her steady.“Sorry, dear. We almost forgot that we have a guest.” Carol seemed a little embarrassed.“Please carry on you two. I am here to ask for breakfast options and coffee.” Abigail yawned and rested her head on the table.“Still sleepy! Aren’t we?” Caroline chuckled. “Did you sleep well?”Abigail jus
This meeting was not held in any conference room of the hotel. Abigail went to a warehouse located near the hotel with all the participants of the program. All their wood furniture was placed in the warehouse.They all were waiting for her a bit confused because they were used to getting invited to sophisticated rooms with comfortable seats.Ethan wanted to record the meeting and Abigail agreed to it.She walked in with an air of confidence and style. Wearing khaki ankle-length pants paired with a maroon semi-formal chiffon blouse. A pair of diamond studs were there to complete the look.“Welcome everyone. I am Abigail Levisay, state head of the Empowerment program. I know Ethan Quest is managing it here in Manhattan for us for quite some time and he is doing exceptionally well. But the reason for coming here was to be loud and clear about a few things.”She paused and waved frantically around her.“This is your furniture.
