Abigail’s Second Life

Upon returning home, Abigail was immediately enveloped in a sense of tranquility.

During her time at Luna's place, she couldn't help but feel like an outsider. The constant pressure weighed heavily on her, as if she were being crushed by a heavy stone.

She knew she shouldn't feel this way. After all, she owed Luna a great deal. However, she couldn't shake off the burden the moment she stepped into the rented house. As she thought about it, she unconsciously let out a weary sigh.

"Let's invite Sean over for dinner tonight. He's been working hard," Lawrence suggested, holding a cup of coffee. After taking a sip, he frowned and continued, "Josh ran off to Saraville again, claiming he doesn't like the local girls. In my opinion, he's making this trip because of a certain someone."

"Oh, please. Don't start," Scarlett replied, annoyed at the thought of Josh choosing a daughter-in-law she didn't approve of.

Abigail didn't pay attention to their conversation. Instead, she found herself thinking about Sean.

Sean was definitely angry right now. She had gone through the messages she had sent him last night when she got home. Judging from the conversation, it was clear that he was vexed. After breakfast, Abigail went straight to the office.

There, she reviewed all the work she had missed recently. Sean had organized everything very well. As she reflected on how he had helped her with these inter-departmental tasks, she realized he must have spent a lot of time on them.

Abigail was lost in her thoughts until Garrett appeared at her office door.

Instead, he approached Abigail with a file and glanced at her phone, inquiring, "Why didn't Mr. Graham tell you about his business trip? Did you two have a fight?" "I swear, you and your gossip.
