Day Twenty Two…
~~*****~~
Nathan realized that he had to set a boundary between Abigail and him. There must be a line they shouldn't cross. But he was doubtful if he could do it since he felt like something was drawing him near to her.
Abigail was like a magnet pulling him towards her. And sometimes, he couldn't help it. He tried to avoid her but he ended up coming to her.
'I must take it seriously! I shouldn't be distracted at times like this.' Nathan thought to himself.
After cooling himself down in the shower, Nathan came out only to find out that Abigail already left their VIP suite.
"Where did she go? I told her not to go outside without me," Nathan lamented as he looked around the room. They were supposed to eat breakfast together.
Nathan put his clothes on before going out of their room to search for Abigail. He tried contacting her but Abigail was ignoring the call.
Little did Nathan know, Abigail was upset by his cold behavior a while ago. She was hurt and offended when Nathan yelled at her while sending her out of the bathroom. After what she had done for him, he suddenly got furious.
Abigail looked glum when she decided to leave. She didn't bother to wait her turn in the bathroom. She just freshened herself up by washing her face in the sink of the mini-kitchen inside their VIP suite. She just changed her clothes and fixed her hair and stormed out.
Abigail also needed some time to control her emotions. She felt truly offended and discouraged by Nathan's rudeness. If he was not satisfied, then he should have stopped her. She just hated the way he treated her after helping him out with his release.
Abigail didn't want to see Nathan so to avoid meeting him, she proceeded to the rooftop of the hotel. She thought it would be a great place to hide as she tried to gather her emotions first.
Upon reaching the rooftop, Abigail was surprised by someone else's presence. A man in his black suit was standing there as he watched the city underneath.
Abigail was about to turn around and leave him alone but the man stopped her.
"You can stay here. Don't mind me," a deep voice was heard.
When Abigail looked at him, the man was already staring in her direction. Abigail gasped inwardly when she recognized the person standing before her eyes. It was Mr. Hiroshi.
Although his appearance was older than the last photo taken ten years ago, Abigail's eyes were sharp enough to recognize him and identify the resemblance to his old photo.
Mr. Hiroshi was already in his mid-50s but he still looked gorgeous and younger than his usual age. Abigail was rendered speechless for a moment as she met his dull emerald eyes. He could tell that this man had gone through a lot.
He didn't appear to be sad or happy as he maintained his blank expression. If other people were to meet him, they would certainly cower in fear with just one look. He had an overbearing aura that could intimidate anyone.
But Abigail was not just anyone so she didn't feel intimidated at all by his presence. Instead, she felt amused to see this middle-aged man who depicted valor and power.
Abigail just found herself stepping forward, inching closer and closer to him. Before she knew it, she was already standing next to him and watching the scenery from the rooftop.
The two remained silent for five minutes, just allowing themselves to appreciate the city view underneath them. For Mr. Hiroshi, it had been so long since the last time he was here in the Towerville City of Country F. Lots of memories came flooding into his mind.
"Why are you here, young lady? Did you fight with your boyfriend?" Mr. Hiroshi was the first one who broke the silence.
Abigail just glanced at him with complicated emotions on her face. She went there to gather her emotions and vent out her frustrations. Who would have thought she would meet the person whom Nathan was dying to see?
However, since she was still upset with Nathan, she had no plan of informing him just yet. Besides, it looked like Mr. Hiroshi planned on staying there for a while.
"How did you know that? Is it so obvious?" Abigail asked him back.
At this moment, Abigail finally found a different emotion on his face when he chuckled at her remarks.
"I just guessed it. I'm just lucky to get it right. Furthermore, men are sometimes the source of stress for women. You look stressed and upset." Mr. Hiroshi said matter-of-factly. He was surprised that he was casually talking to this stranger as if he had known her.
Abigail was not able to hold it in. She was dying to vent her frustration out of her heart so she ended up speaking a lot to Mr. Hiroshi.
"I just can't figure out this man! They said women were complicated. But this guy I know is the most complicated one!"
Mr. Hiroshi just smiled and nodded his head, just allowing her to vent out everything.
"He is hot and cold! Sometimes, he is sweet. Then later, he will just suddenly go back to his cold and rude self. It's so hard to deal with him. I am putting up with him until the last strand of my patience because I have no choice." Abigail lamented.
"I did everything for him but I felt like there is still no significant improvement in our relationship." Abigail sighed deeply.
"It's so hard to replace his first love… What should I do? How can I get his attention? How can I make him forget about his ex?"
Abigail clenched her fists tightly as she slammed her eyes shut. She didn't know why she was getting mad just thinking about Monica.
Was she jealous of her? Why was she getting so emotional like this? She was not supposed to feel this way. This was part of her mission! But she was truly upset!
Abigail was still trying to calm her raging emotions when she heard another laughter. Mr. Hiroshi felt amused to hear those words from her.
"Hmm, I can feel that you truly like the guy. You love him so much so just don't give up." Mr. Hiroshi gave her a piece of meaningful advice.
