Abigail’s Second Life

Chapter 58 A Stain

Things were just as hectic on the other end. Abigail seized the opportunity to pass another piece of paper to Luna while no one else was looking. Luna's expression remained blank, but it was as if they had an she slipped the piece of paper into her pocket and covered her shirt over it. They both edged closer to one another and were about to exchange a conversation

when they heard Joan's high-pitched voice.

"I noticed that you finished all of your design drafts when I visited you earlier today, Luna. That's impressive. I heard that the theme left a lot of the other designers stumped-they couldn't come up with anything, even after working on it for up to one week." Joan's statement carried an implicit message that everyone else could understand. Yet, when Abigail glanced at Joan's expression, she noticed that there wasn't a hint of malice on her face.

Since Luna identified herself as Alana, she hadn't visited Sean's room, nor did she see a point in explaining herself to Joan. So, Luna simply lowered her cutlery before looking Joan in the eye. "You should provide some evidence for your statements, Miss Palmer. Otherwise, you're just defaming

me."

The theme, 'Sweet Whispers, was clear enough that any designer who had some experience in the industry would know how to get started with their work. If they hadn't exchanged identities, Abigail would have still been able to produce an initial draft within one hour. All she would've had to do
