Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1935

Realizing he had been spotted, the man immediately turned and ran. Abigail instantly gave chase.

When it came to chasing people, she had always succeeded. Though an entire street separated them, she quickly closed the distance between them with her speed.

Turning a corner, she caught up to him, grabbing his shoulder. "Where do you think you're going?"

The man slipped out of her grasp with a quick roll of his shoulder and darted into a dimly lit bar nearby, clearly intending to use the darkness inside to evade capture.

Confident in her abilities, she kicked open the bar's door and stormed inside. Just then, the lights in front of her suddenly flashed on, illuminating the stage and the band performing on it.

The guitarist, bassist, and drummer were all in position, and to her surprise, the lead singer was Hugo.

"Pretty woman walkin' down the street."

"Pretty woman, the kind I'd like to meet..."

Hugo sang passionately, his eyes locked on Abigail as he performed a romantic love song, setting the whole bar's atmosphere alive.

But Abigail stood there, frowning the entire time.

It dawned on her that there had been no actual following; everything had been a trick by him, orchestrated to create tension and lure her there.

After the song ended, he took a rose from one of his subordinates and walked up to her, offering it to her with eager eyes. "This is for you!"

She glanced down at the flowers, her expression one of utter disbelief. "What's wrong with you?"

But it was precisely her carefree attitude that made him even more determined. "I won't give up!"

Holding the flower high, he shouted, "Abigail, I will marry you!"

…

When Abigail returned to the company, she couldn't be bothered to go upstairs and called Taylor instead.

Taylor answered quickly. "What's up, honey?"

"Are you at the office?" she asked.
