Chapter 75 Sarcastic
Sean stopped talking and helped massage her ankle for a long time before standing up to leave. Meanwhile, Abigail did not feel anything amiss after he left because the room had always been this quiet and cold every time they shared a bed.
He gently closed the door before walking to his room. As he entered, another door opened, and a female designer stood there with a bag of trash in her hands. She narrowed her eyes and stared at his room door with a glint in her eyes.
Abigail did not sleep for long but was in deep slumber after being together with Sean. So, she was in good spirits when she woke up. Although her ankle still hurt, it did not hinder her from walking as long as she was slow and steady.
When Luna entered her room, she asked about the design draft, “Did you get it back? Did Sean blame you?” The design draft was a priority for them both, and Luna could not relax if it were left
unsettled.
“Yeah, I did. I tore it to pieces and flushed it in the toilet,” Abigail answered as she moved her ankle.
Luna let out a breath of relief with a hand on her chest. “Now, we’re safe. But it’s annoying that we can’t use this against Joan.”
Abigail patted her shoulder and advised, “Our aim is the diamond ring. Don’t mind her.”
When they arrived at the banquet hall, Abigail instinctively noticed Joan’s peculiar gaze on her. When Luna was seated, Abigail passed her cutlery as usual.
Suddenly, a designer named Nina Lowery asked with a smile, “Miss Smith, I’ve been curious since I
entered. Why doesn’t your assistant stay on the same floor as you do? Instead, she’s staying beside
Mr. Graham.”
At that, Luna answered with a smile, “Why don’t you ask Mr. Stewart or Mr. Graham?”
At that point, Joan started to echo her sarcastically. “You can answer that, too. Sean invited you, and
you’re close to Mr. Stewart. Both of you are treated better than us in this show.”
The spoon in Luna’s hand fell into the bowl as she looked up at Joan with a friendly smile. “Mr. Graham has asked me to let you off the h ook about apologizing to me when you slandered me the last time. It seems you don’t feel guilty at all. Trying the same thing again now?”
Tears started to well up in Joan’s eyes when she heard that. “Luna, you’ve misunderstood me. I just wanted to alert you to be careful of your assistant. If she has any misconduct, your reputation is on
the line.”
Then, Abigail glanced at Joan with cold eyes. “Why don’t you just tell me what it is? You’re just saying things without proof.”
As the tension grew, the netizens watching the live stream also speculated if Joan was jealous because Sean treated Abigail well, explaining why Joan was making insinuations.
Joan didn’t even apologize for slandering Alana. How dare she bully her assistant now! Besides, Sean took the initiative to approach the little assistant. Joan’s just using her status to bully the
assistant. How shameless!
‘Sean’s interaction with this flirty assistant is quite normal in the show. The fans just couldn’t bear to watch it and wanted to guard their favorite couple. They probably don’t know Sean helped Joan
catch a bug last night in her room.’
‘I think they know. They’re just afraid of shipping the wrong people and acting crazy. Besides,
check out Nina’s Twitter, and you’ll know why Joan is targeting the assistant.
‘I saw her post too. She posted it around 4.00AM. I don’t know what she was hinting at, but that assistant isn’t as simple as she seems. No one knows if Alana is innocent, too!’
The netizens were berating them while the show went on.
Joan pouted her lips like she was wrongly accused of something. “Oh, I don’t have the courage to talk bad about you. You’re Luna’s favorite assistant. I’d have to step back for you even if my man is
about to be sna tched away by you just for Luna.”
Luna was so angry that she laughed. Exactly who is taking whose man here?! Is Homewrecker Palmer playing dumb here?
However, Abigail did not want to argue with her since Sean would step in and stand on Joan’s side if
she asked her to apologize.
On the side, Victor watched Joan’s snide remarks and recalled Nina’s tweet at 4.00AM, and on top of that, Sean’s special treatment toward Abigail. He furrowed his brows lightly and asked, “Are you
guys misunderstanding something here?”
