Chapter 17

Abigail gave a slight nod. “Let’s start with self–introductions.”

The shy guy spoke up softly, “I’m Simon Hall.”

The guy who clearly seemed unconvinced completely ignored her. Simon looked a little embarrassed and added, “His name’s Martin Henderson.”

The last one stayed quiet, dressed in a black hoodie with a mask on and his head

11ted. His voice was flat. “Elliott Simpson.”

“I’m Abigail Gibson. Now go back to your seats and move them so they’re all together,” Abigail said.

Simon responded in a small voice, “Okay.”

Martin and Elliott were already walking off. Abigail didn’t care much about

treated her. She turned and went straight back to her desk.

Outside the Halden Group building, Ralph parked his car. Stephen had called him

Daniella after work.

over before leaving for a business trip abroad, asking him to pick up

Ralph checked the time. It was already the end of the workday. He stepped out of the car, and just as he glanced toward the building’s exit, his eyes locked on someone. “Abigail?”

The sudden voice made Abigail pause. She looked up and was a bit surprised to see Ralph.

She thought, ‘What’s he doing here? He must be here to pick up Daniella.‘

“Mr. Fletcher,” Abigail greeted him.

Ralph frowned slightly. He didn’t like the way she addressed him. “You work here too? Didn’t Dani say you didn’t have enough education?”

He thought, ‘Could she be doing janitorial work or something? She’s still the heiress of the Gibson family. How could she lower herself to that?‘

“Abigail, you should really consider what I said before. Being my assistant is way better than being a janitor,” Ralph said.

“A janitor?” A flash of mockery crossed Abigail’s eyes. “You think I’m a janitor here?”

Ralph frowned. “Aren’t you?”

Abigail didn’t feel like explaining. Her tone was flat. “If that’s what you think, sure.”

Ralph reached out to block her path. “Abigail, there’s no need to make things hard on yourself. Quit this job and come work at my company tomorrow.”

Right after he finished speaking, his phone rang. Abigail saw the caller ID–Dani. She wasn’t surprised at all.

Ralph turned away to take the call, and by the time he turned back, Abigail was already gone. Something in Ralph’s chest twisted uncomfortably.

At that moment, Abigail was already in a cab. She hadn’t taken Ralph’s offer seriously at all and had no intention of going.

When she got back to the Gibson Villa and stepped into the living room, Bianca was on the couch arranging flowers. She looked up and waved at Abigail with a smile, saying, “Abby, how’s work going?”

Bianca actually didn’t want Abigail to work. She thought Abigail didn’t have the education to land any decent job.

But Abigail never listened to her anyway, and Bianca still carried guilt over Abigail being forced to take the blame and go to prison. So Bianca hadn’t brought it up again.

“It’s fine. Mrs. Gibson, did you need something?” Abigail walked over but didn’t sit down.

Bianca looked a little down but forced a smile. “Stevie left for his business trip abroad today. I was wondering what you’d like for dinner.”

In truth, Bianca had been thinking about what had happened yesterday. She felt guilty and wanted the chef to make something Abigail liked.

“No need.” Abigail’s expression shifted slightly. “How’s Grandpa doing?” She thought, ‘Stephen’s gone. Maybe I can go see Grandpa‘
