"You're in no position to negotiate." Abigail shot Emma a look to silence her. Dammit. She's right. Shecan kill me and Dad anytime she wants to. I hate this! I hate this feeling.

Abigail stopped arguing with the woman and gave her some cooking tips.

Emma said nothing, but she was disgruntled about it, though Abigail couldn't care less.

Teal stayed back at the company during lunch time for work. Abigail told her about what she was doingwith Emma, but Teal did not really care.

Abigail asked, "Hey, did you lock Sasha up or something?"

Teal was surprised she asked her that. "No. I've been working on my project for the last month. Ihaven't had time to check on her. It's not like she can escape anyway. Did something happen?"

Abigail trusted that Teal was telling the truth. She did not have to wait if she wanted to get back atSasha. But if it's not her, then who did it? "Yes." She told Teal what happened, after which Teal wassurprised.

"It's not me, I swear."

"Yeah, I know." Abigail was amused. "But there's no way she won't do anything now that the Kains arein trouble. She thinks she owns the place, and she'd never let anyone torture her little baby girl,especially not me."

"Who did this then?" Teal was worried as well. She still had yet to get back at Sasha, so she hoped thatthe woman hadn't met her fate. There's something fishy about this.

"No idea. My legs are all better now and you're almost cured of your poison. I'll be going back to theresidence in a few days." That was Abigail's goal. Nobody would hurt her since she was the bestsurgeon in the world, but they might harm Teal now that the Kains were in trouble. They had becomefriends over the last month and she would like to keep Teal out of trouble if she could help it.

Teal did not really mind and teased, "Well, someone's missing her husband."

"What? You got a problem with that? I have someone to smooch now."

Abigail took the tease in stride, but Teal felt a little miffed. I did not need to hear that. "Yeah, smoochyour husband and please spare me the details."

Abigail smiled. "I'm not in a hurry. Besides, Emma is going to stay at your place for a bit. I'll pick her uponce I've resolved the Kains' problems. I don't have anywhere I can keep her at the moment."

"Don't you have rooms in Allie's Garden?"

"I don't want anyone making a mess in my place. It's where I smooch my husband."

Teal fell silent. Great. I should not have asked her that. "I see. I've been busy at work lately. Gotta goon a business trip this afternoon. She can stay if she wants. I'm okay as long as you're fine with it. Butwhy do you even care about the Kains? It's not like they cared about you," she asked. Beating aboutthe bush was not her style.

Abigail answered, "I'm a bit of a pushover, I guess. Philip isn't that evil and Emma is just a bumblingfool. Besides, I'm also a part of the family."

Teal decided to stay quiet. It's her choice.

Abigail hung up and decided that she would see Greg. She knew someone was behind this wholemess, and the Reeves were involved too. He would be the best source for information and clues. She

also wanted to see him because she missed him.

They did meet up a lot in games and video calls. He would sometimes come over to give her food too,but she would rather they stayed together. Besides, they had been abstaining for the last month. Nowthat she was getting better, she started getting the urges to see his abs again.

The thought of his sexy abs made her gulp. She could feel herself breathing heavily, and she leered.Abigail came downstairs and looked at the kitchen. Emma was still trying to cook, though the kitchenutensils were everywhere. It was like a battlefield there as she would scream every time she scaldedherself or bumped into something.

She teared up and puckered her lips, but she went back to cooking without any complaints.

Abigail was impressed. At least she has some backbone now, unlike how she used to be. Looks liketrauma is all she needs to change. I hope it's for the better though. She turned away and left.

Emma had no idea Abigail was there. She was starting to get obsessed with getting this right. It's justcooking. If Abigail can do it, I can do it too! She ignored her pain and suffering just so she could makethe food right, so of course she had no idea Abigail was observing her.

Abigail called Greg the moment she left the house. "Where are you?"

Greg worked the whole morning the last few days just so he could have time to play games with Abigailat night. He was even planning to see her after work today. It had been days since he saw her and hewondered how she was doing.

Greg was in the conference room, criticizing the project his employees brought up. He was gettingfrustrated, but it all went away when Abigail called him. Her voice always soothed his heart, and itdelighted him. "Working. Gotta make money for my family."

"Good. I'll be right there."

Greg grinned toothily. He was overjoyed to hear that she was coming. "You're coming over? Are yourlegs okay now?"

"Yep. What do you want for lunch? I'll get some for you." Abigail looked at the time. It was almost timefor lunch, and she did not want to have it at home, especially not when Emma was around. She wouldrather have it with her husband.

Greg was even happier she wanted to have lunch with him. "It's alright. Just come over. We'll get lunchtogether."

"Alright." Abigail hung up right away.

Greg could not stop smiling. He noticed the look his employees were giving him, and he said, "It's yourlucky day. My wife is coming over, so take this proposal back and redo it. I don't want work getting inthe way of my lunch date."

Well, you're the boss, and I'd take not getting yelled at any day. Everyone took a copy of the proposaland left almost immediately.

Then, he lost all interest in work and even borrowed a mirror from his secretary to check himself out,then he sighed. "Man, I am a lot thinner now. Wonder if she'll still love me. And I need to get my hairtrimmed. The fringe is covering my eyes."

The secretary had never seen her boss looking so full of himself. Her jaw dropped while her eyeswidened.

Greg straightened himself up and looked at his secretary as a frown furrowed his brows. "Don't look atme like that. I don't want my wife to take it the wrong way. I'm a married man. Get any ideas and you're

fired."

The secretary snapped out of it and she felt her back drenched with sweat. "I would never, Mr.Buckley."

"Good." He tossed the mirror back to her and sniffed his sleeve. I reek of sweat. I need to getshowered. I have a set of clothes in the waiting room anyway. "And tell the receptionist my wife cancome in if she wants. She can wait for me in my office."

Greg went to his office.

The secretary stared at the door as it slowly closed. She was a little scared and frustrated. Wait, atleast tell me her name! How am I supposed to know who's your wife? What if we got the wrongperson? I don't want to get fired! She was about to knock on the door, but then she heard the sound ofrunning water coming from inside.

His warning was still fresh in her mind and she backed off. I'd better not risk seeing him naked, or hemight fire me.

Abigail was surprised to see how large the Buckley Group was. I know he runs a decent business, butthis building is way too big. Come to think of it, the four tallest buildings in Harrion belong to him. It'slike they're this city's pillars.

She thought he was just a prodigal son, but the more she got to know him, the better she thought hewas. No wonder he's one of the four richest lads in this city. She parked her car and went into thebuilding.

"Hi. I'm here for Greg. He's my boyfriend," Abigail told the receptionist who she was.

The receptionist had just received the orders from the secretary to let Abigail in. She immediately ledher to the executive elevator, much to Abigail's surprise. I thought she'd ask if I had any appointments. Iknow I said I'm his girlfriend, but shouldn't she have at least asked me a question? I'll have to tell Gregabout this.

She came to the office, and the secretary told her that she could just go in. "Mr. Buckley is waiting foryou."

Abigail looked at the secretary silently for a moment. Oh, she's cute. She nodded and went into theoffice.

Although Abigail thought nothing about it, the secretary felt nervous. Hey, why did she look at me likethat? Does she think I have a crush on Mr. Buckley too?

The threat of termination weighed down on the secretary. She took her mirror and makeup remover outbefore she cleaned her fake double eyelids, eyeshadow, and even her lipstick. Even so, she thought itwas still not good enough, so she cleaned all her makeup and revealed what she really looked like.There were dark circles under her eyes since she had worked overtime the night before. I can't careless. I'd do anything as long as Mr. Buckley and his girlfriend think that I don't have any ideas abouthim. I don't want to get fired.

Abigail had no idea that just happened. Greg was nowhere to be seen in his office, but she heard thesound of water coming from the waiting room. He's showering at this hour? Is something wrong? Shewent to the waiting room and opened the door without even hesitating, and what she saw shocked her.
