100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty Two...

~~*****~~

'He is looking for his missing daughter. Why do I feel like Mr. Hiroshi also had a shady past.' Abigail thought to herself, trying to sympathize with Mr. Hiroshi. She had to gain his trust so she also shared some of her life experience.

"I am also an orphan. I don't know if they died or they abandoned me." Abigail paused for a moment. She didn't know whether she would mention her real story or the real Abigail's story.

Thinking about it, both of them were orphans. Phantomflake grew up in the dangerous underground world together with the assassin who took her under her care. She was involved in a big accident during her childhood days. She woke up in a hospital and her master was the one who saved her life. She became an assassin because of her.

But according to her master, her parents died during that big accident. It was a car crash. Her master told her that she met her parents that night. They were already dead. Just when she got her out of the car, an explosion happened.

On the other hand, the real Abigail had a different story. She read her files and found out that Abigail grew up in an orphanage. She was brought there when she was only one year old.

Abigail was adopted by the Scarlett Family who also lived abroad. But her life as a member of the Scarlett Family was not that easy. Her sisters and brothers often bullied her.

So she strived hard and decided to become an actress after her eighteen birthday. She returned to Country M and became a trainee. She didn't want to rely on her adoptive parents so she became independent.

Since they had no plan of giving her inheritance, they just let her be. At the age of 18, she met Ana. She recommended Abigail to become a trainee under Star Corp Entertainment.

She wanted to become an actress because an actress was famous. She hoped her chosen career would help her find her real parents, if ever they were still alive. Abigail was still wishing to find them. She didn't hate them for abandoning her. In fact, she wanted to know the reason why she was left behind.

"How old are you now?" Mr. Hiroshi's voice snapped Abigail back to the present. When she turned in his direction, she could see the light gleam in his eyes. Perhaps, Mr. Hiroshi was hoping that she was his missing daughter.

But it would be a great coincidence. They just met today.

"I'm 27 years old..." Abigail responded absentmindedly.

"Huh?" Mr. Hiroshi was taken aback for a moment.

After a while, Abigail smiled sheepishly and corrected. "I'm sorry. I'm twenty one years old. Not twenty seven." Phantomflake gave him Abigail's real age.

Mr. Hiroshi let out another chuckle. "I knew it. You look so young to be 27. Don't give me false hope, young lady."

Abigail just giggled. She didn't mean to give him false hope. It's just a slip of the tongue. Instead of giving him the real Abigail's age, she ended up saying her age as Phantomflake.

"I didn't mean to... but Mr. Hiroshi, I have a proposal for you. I know someone who can help you search for your missing daughter!" Abigail suddenly made a suggestion to Mr. Hiroshi. She wanted to grab this opportunity to make Nathan known to him.

Mr. Hiroshi became interested in her proposal. "Are you sure? Is this someone capable?"

Abigail bobbed her head frantically. 'Yes! He is definitely capable. He even found our hideout that no one could ever trace before.'

Abigail aka Phantomflake believed that Nathan was able to find them because of their technologies. Nathan had so many resources. She underestimated him before, that's why her assassin guild got destroyed and perished just before her eyes.

She knew Nathan could find a missing person, easily.

"Yes, Mr. Hiroshi! Believe me! I can bet my life on it. Have you heard the name... Nathan Sparks? He is a well-known businessman in this country. He is powerful and influential. He can help you in searching for your missing daughter." Abigail said spontaneously, convincing Mr. Hiroshi.

The old man fell silent for a moment, thinking. It had been so long since the last time he set foot in Country M. He was not familiar with Nathan Sparks. That name didn't ring a bell. But seeing how Abigail believed in his capability, Mr. Hiroshi had the urge to trust him and rely on this man.

'This young lady doesn't know me. There is no way she has an ulterior motive. She suggested this out of her goodwill.' Mr. Hiroshi thought to himself as he watched Abigail's smiling face.

'Sigh. It's not that I am lowering my guard. But this woman... There is something in her that I want to trust. Is it because she has emerald eyes? Damn. What a lame reason for an old man like me.' Mr. Hiroshi could only shake his head while smiling helplessly.

"You can meet him first before you decide, Mr. Hiroshi!" Abigail added.

Now Mr. Hiroshi was put in a dilemma. He came here to meet the leader of the Red Dragon Mafia and to make a deal with them. But he couldn't trust them because of their nature. In this field, he knew that other factions just wanted to gain power and influence through him and his clan.

'Which is better? To seek help from a businessman or to make a deal with a mafia organization to find my missing daughter?' Mr. Hiroshi was contemplating in his mind.

Abigail was still waiting for Mr. Hiroshi to speak up when someone spoke up from their back.

"Abigail! I found you!" A cold deep voice of a man was heard

Abigail and Mr. Hiroshi turned in the direction of that voice, only to see Nathan's dark expression.

"Eh? N-Nathan??? How did you know that I was here?" Abigail asked him in amusement. She didn't inform him about their location. She ignored his calls and messages.

"I have my ways to find you. Do you think you can escape from me? You ignored my calls and you didn't tell me where you were going." Nathan said, lifting his eyebrow. He tried his best to control his anger since Mr. Hiroshi was there, standing next to Abigail.

Abigail just scratched her face, smiling sheepishly. Then she leaned closer to Mr. Hiroshi, and whispered something, making the old man laugh.

"See... Mr. Hiroshi, my man is very capable. He found us right away!"

"Hahahaha!"

Mr. Hiroshi burst out laughing because of Abigail's last remarks. It looked like she was telling the truth. On the other hand, Nathan just watched them in puzzlement. He was surprised to see Abigail and Mr. Hiroshi getting along well.

"Yeah... I believe you now, young lady." Mr. Hiroshi said after he was done laughing.

Nathan just frowned as he didn't know what they were talking about.

"Nathan, this is Mr. Hiroshi. I met him in the hotel. Mr. Hiroshi, this is Nathan Sparks, my man... the one I told you about a while ago." Abigail introduced the two men.

Nathan: "..."

Nathan was rendered speechless and his heart skipped a beat when Abigail introduced him as HER MAN so naturally.
