Not One, But Two!

Chapter 200

Chapter 200

Blunt as always, Abigail voiced out her thoughts and asked, "Have I offended you in some way?"

Troy was taken aback by her question at first, and his first instinct was to say 'Of course'. However, he held his tongue in the end because he was afraid of Greg, not her.

He had worked for Greg for years, and he knew what the man was like. If he accidentally informed Abigail about something that Greg wanted him to keep secret, he could very well end up losing this crappy job too.

At the thought of this, Troy forced out a tight smile and said, "That's not possible, Dr. Kain. As if a lowly person such as myself could ever try to pick a bone with you."

"In that case, what's with the snide tone?" Abigail demanded icily. She had only called him to ask about Greg, and she thought she was being courteous enough already. It was uncomfortable to be treated like she had done some horrible wrong, and she was never one to put herself in such a position.

Troy grew furious upon sensing her unhappiness, but he suppressed his anger and said in the most placid tone he could muster, "You've misunderstood me, Dr. Kain—I talk like this all the time. Anyway, you said you wanted to meet up with me, right? You can go ahead and set the time and place. As for Mr. Buckley..."

"He doesn't need to know about this," she replied curtly.

When Troy heard this, a smirk curled on his lips. Turns out I was right! "Very well, Dr. Kain. Where should I meet you?"

She paused in thought before answering, "The hospital downtown."

Anastasia's face flashed in her mind as she said this. In a few days' time, Anastasia would be discharged from the hospital, so Abigail figured she could drop by the hospital to visit her. Besides, there were plenty of people in the premises, and if Greg were to find out about her meeting with Troy, she could always say she ran into him.

On the other hand, Troy did not object to the meeting place. "Okay. What time shall we meet?"

"Give me a second." She glanced at the time and saw that it was already 2.00PM. "I'll see you there at 3.30PM at Room 305 on the second floor."

With that, she ended the call.

Anastasia had been transferred to Room 305 as of now, and she was recovering well from her injuries. Abigail considered this and thought about asking Greg to take Anastasia in as an intern at the Buckley Group.

Having done all this, Abigail left the study and made her way downstairs.

When she saw Benjamin sitting on the couch watching the financial news on television, she was slightly stunned. "The financial news? I didn't know you were interested in stuff like that!"

Benjamin quickly got to his feet and said, "Mr. Buckley said that I'd need to stay on top of news like these now that I'm his personal assistant. The Buckley Group is a legitimate business, after all."

"That's true." She nodded before saying, "I'm heading over to the hospital downtown to visit a friend, and you'll be driving me."
