Day Twenty Five…

~~*****~~

Abigail left Spade in a deep trance. She felt very satisfied after threatening the hacker of the Red Dragon Mafia. She had to admit that Spade and Black Rose did well with their teamwork as they were able to break into the security system made by SizzlingAugust08.

But it looked like Nathan was not that active any more as Ethan was the one using his old account.

Making sure that Spade was not following her, Abigail walked faster, blending herself into the crowd. She picked up her phone and checked Aiden's message. Aiden gave her the address of his private villa.

Twenty Five minutes later, Abigail arrived at Aiden's private villa. His butler, Izekiel, was the one who welcomed her at the gate.

"This way, Señorita," Izekiel guided her inside. Aiden reminded his butler to treat Abigail with utmost respect so Izekiel called her Señorita. However, he sounded too formal that Abigail was not used to being called like this.

Abigail just smiled awkwardly as she followed  Butler Izekiel. When they entered the house, Aiden was browsing his phone, his eyes open wide and his jaw dropped.

Izekiel and Abigail exchanged glances with one another, wondering why Aiden had a baffled look on his face.

News traveled so fast. Now, Aiden became a hot topic on the social media platform and the online world.

[ Aiden Wu, the ultimate Cassanova, proposed to a beautiful woman. But her identity is still unknown. ]

[ Aiden, one of the Magnificent Trio, kneeled in front of a woman at the Knight Cafe. ]

[ Aiden Wu, "The Playboy" got involved in the Love Triangle. ]

[ Aiden confessed to a pretty woman but got rejected for the first time! ]

[ Big news! Aiden Wu was rejected by a woman. ]

There were several videos and photos of Aiden and Cherry that the netizens posted on social media.

Aiden felt so embarrassed seeing those posts. His bashers made him look like a loser. Now, they got the opportunity to mock him.

Aiden switched off his phone and threw it on the sofa. He didn't expect that his actions a while ago would backfire on him. He felt like his manly reputation had been ruined.

He didn't mean to confess. It was just his strategy to make Cherry stay. He forgot that people around them could recognize his face. He overdid it.

"Damn those jealous men! They can laugh at me today. But later on, I will show them. I will make that woman my girlfriend!" Aiden declared, raising his fist in the air.

"Cough! Cough!" Butler Izekiel cleared his throat to make their presence known to Aiden. He seemed lost in his own world. "Master, Señorita Abigail is here."

Aiden put on a puppy-eyed look as soon as he saw Abigail. He approached her while pouting his lips.

"Miss Abi… the netizens are now making fun of me because of what happened in the airport." Aiden sounded like a child telling on his sister after getting bullied.

Butler Izekiel bit his lower lip, trying to hold his laughter. He didn't know why Aiden was acting so childish in front of Abigail.

"It's your fault for making that scene," Abigail responded nonchalantly. "You have to blame yourself."

Aiden motioned Butler Izekiel to leave them. When his butler was gone, Aiden began defending himself.

"I did it to buy you some time. See… I did my job well. After the humiliation I got, what is my reward? I think I deserve one," Aiden demanded shamelessly.

Abigail's eyebrows were drawn together as she looked at Aiden. Well, thinking about it, Aiden did a great job in stopping Cherry from leaving.

After a while, a mischievous smile appeared on her face. "Sure. Why not? You truly deserve a reward. But I will give you a reward that I think you need the most."

Aiden's eyes sparkled in anticipation. "What kind of reward? Tell me. Tell me!" He even tugged Abigail's hand. He was eager to hear his reward.

Abigail leaned closer to Aiden, pressing her right hand on his chest. Aiden's eyes widened and he just stood frozen in his spot.

'Hey… Hey… don't tell me she is thinking of rewarding me… a 'good time'.' Aiden blushed at that thought. But at the same time, he cringed as he realized how frightening Abigail could be.

He shook his head frantically, erasing the lewd thoughts in his mind. Aiden held his breath, waiting for her next words.

Aiden jolted when Abigail pinched his chest. She was just testing how sturdy his chest was. "I think you need to train physically. You look so weak to me. If you will face Cherry, you will certainly suffer a few beatings. So what you need right now is to learn how to fight like a man!"

Aiden: "..."

"That will be your reward. I can train you personally." Abigail said, smirking widely.

Aiden blinked his eyes, gasping. He didn't expect that kind of reward from her. Should he feel glad or insulted? But he had to admit that Abigail had a point.

They were still in that very close position when two men entered the living room. Nathan and Stephen were both shocked to see Aiden and Abigail together.

Abigail's right hand was still pressed against Aiden's chest and she was slightly leaning on him. Two pairs of sharp eyes greeted Aiden's eyes.

"Nathan? Stephen?" Aiden called their names, making Abigail turn in their direction since her back was facing the two a while ago.

Abigail was caught off guard seeing the two, most especially, Nathan. Her cheeks burned as soon as their eyes met. After that passionate moment last night, this was the first time they saw each other.

Nathan's gaze shifted from Abigail's face to her hand that was still holding Aiden's chest. As if she was caught by her boyfriend cheating, Abigail immediately pushed Aiden away from her, causing him to fall back on the sofa.

Nathan's expression turned grim but he never uttered a word. It was Stephen who broke the awkward silence.

"Miss Abi, what are you doing here?" Stephen darted his gaze back and forth between Abigail and Aiden. They looked suspicious to him.

Aiden just smiled sheepishly and scratched his face. "I invited her… how about the two of you? I didn't remember inviting you to come over today?"

Aiden's last remarks made Nathan's grim expression darken further. He clenched his fist tightly and he had the urge to punch his best friend, Aiden.

Nathan turned to Abigail, giving her an intense gaze. "Butler Li asked my permission to let you use my car. So this is where you were going?" Nathan sounded upset and disappointed.

Abigail could only bite her lower lip. Why did she feel like Nathan was mad at her for being there?

"I–" Abigail could feel the tension with the way Nathan was questioning her. "I came here to fetch Cherry. She passed out a while ago and Aiden brought her here."

"Cherry? Who is she?" Stephen hadn't met Cherry yet.

"The Main Chef at Nathan's Mansion–," Aiden responded but immediately closed his mouth when Nathan shot him a cold sharp glare as if telling him to just keep his mouth shut.

'Why is Nathan being grumpy again?'
