100 Days to Seduce the Devil
Chapter 428 Quit Show Business To Manage The Yan Group?
Day Fifty…
~~*****~~
[ At Yan Family Mansion… ]
Abigail woke up so early today to prepare for her date. Since Ethan stayed in Old Man Xu's house last night, Nathan returned to the Sparks Mansion.
They agreed that he would fetch her at around 8:00 am. Nathan also informed Abigail to wear her comfy clothes and sneakers. They were going to hike.
Nathan could feel that Abigail was an adventurous woman so he decided to do a road trip with her and bring her to the beautiful and highest View Deck of Caceres Hills.
Abigail had been standing in front of her mirror, checking her appearance. She was wearing black cargo pants matched with a white turtle neck long-sleeve crop top. Her height and slender figure were emphasized by her outfit.
Her hair was tied up in a ponytail. She only applied light makeup as she didn't want to overdo her makeup.
Abigail took a deep breath while cupping her cheeks. She couldn't stop herself from blushing. Her heart was thumping so hard against her chest because she was nervous and excited.
Knock! Knock!
Abigail was interrupted by the knocking sound. Then she heard the maid's voice outside her room.
"Young Miss, your boyfriend is here!"
Abigail's heart raced even faster when she heard that. She bit her lower lip and tossed one last glance at the mirror before she stepped out of her room.
"Tell him that I will just say goodbye to my grandpa."
She was holding her black pouch and proceeded to Old Master Yan's room. She knocked first, letting him know of her presence. Soon, the old man allowed her to enter.
"Grandpa… good morning!" Abigail approached Old Master Yan who was sitting on his bed. She sat down on the edge of his bed and held his hand.
Old Master Yan smiled at her tenderly. He was still undergoing new medication for his illness. After changing his medicines, he felt a little bit better.
"Are you going out?" Old Master Yan asked her with a smile. He felt so grateful since his missing granddaughter was already living with them.
"Yes, Grandpa. Nathan and I have a date. By the way, how are you? Do you feel better now?" Abigail was worried about the old man for real.
Old Master Yan squeezed her hand and bobbed his head. "Yes, Abi. Don't worry too much about me. I'm going to get better… I will live longer… I want to spend more time with you." Old Master Yan meant every word.
Abigail's eyes sparkled in delight. At least, Old Master Yan became more determined to recover and cure his illness.
'Yes, you have to stay alive. You have to meet Abigail… the real Abigail… and spend more time with her.' Abigail leaned closer and hugged Old Master Yan. She wanted to cheer up the old man. She just hoped Nathan would find a great doctor who could treat Old Master Yan's illness.
Because of the fake medicines, his condition worsened. And his body was still trying to adjust to the new pills and medication.
"Abi… after what happened…
Do you feel unsafe? I can hire more bodyguards to keep you safe." The old man suggested.
Abigail didn't want to be watched by guards. She had things to accomplish alone. She couldn't do it if they were eyes watching and following her around.
"No need to do that, Grandpa. I can protect myself. Besides, Nathan will keep me safe… always." Abigail reassured Old Master Yan.
"Abi… regarding your work… I am wondering if you want to quit show business. You are my granddaughter and you are meant to lead the Yan Group in the future. I think it will be best if you will start working in our company." Old Master Yan gave her his opinion.
"I'll think about it first, Grandpa. But I hope, no matter what decision I will choose… you will still support me," Abigail replied. She was thinking that she would let the real Abigail decide for herself. It was not her place to make a decision about the real Abigail's future.
Who knows the real Abigail wants to continue working as an actress, instead of managing a company?
"Okay, Abi. I will respect and support whatever decision you will choose." Old Master Yan didn't want to burden Abigail with the great responsibility of managing the Yan Group if she wasn't willing to do it.
"Thanks, Grandpa!"
"Okay. You should go now and enjoy your date with Nathan. Oh, before I forget, make sure to bring Ethan back here. I feel bored without that young boy entertaining me…" Old Master Yan put on a pitiful look. He pouted his lips as he thought of Little Ethan.
Abigail just let out a soft giggle. "You are very fond of Ethan."
"Of course! He is so sweet and thoughtful. A very generous boy. He is also smart and very fun to talk to. I feel so young when bonding with him!"
Abigail bobbed her head. "I couldn't agree more, Grandpa."
Knock! Knock!
The two were still talking when they heard a knock. It was Nathan. He decided to go upstairs and say "Hi" to Old Master Yan.
A hint of admiration could be seen in his eyes as he gazed at Abigail. He gulped hard, eyeing her from top to bottom. He loved Abigail's look today. She was so cool and stunning.
"Your boyfriend is here. Go now," Old Master Yan was sending them off.
Nathan greeted him politely before guiding Abigail out. The two said goodbye to the old man. The moment they stepped out of the room and closed the door behind them, Nathan immediately stole a quick kiss from her.
He held her chin and gave her a peck on her lips. "What took you so long? I've been waiting for you for half an hour now. Aren't you excited about our date?" Nathan pretended to be upset.
Abigail chuckled and pinched Nathan's cheeks. "Can't you see? I have dark circles under my eyes because I didn't get enough sleep just thinking about our date."
Nathan smirked at her, satisfied with what he heard. "Are you ready?"
Abigail bobbed her head, her eyes shining with excitement. "I'm always ready!"
Nathan leaned closer and whispered sensually, "Let's go. I'll make this day memorable for you…"
"By the way… you're so beautiful today…" he added, his lips gently grazing her right ear while sniffing her hair.
'Damn it! He is teasing me!' Abigail chewed on her lower lip, her body shivered and she felt like electricity spread throughout her body because of Nathan's intimate gesture and compliment.
It did not take long before Nate's husky laugh bubbled up in the hallway. He found her cute when blushing.
Abigail squinted her eyes at him and hit his shoulder. "Stop laughing!"
"I can't stop. Your cheeks are burning. What were you thinking?" Nathan continued teasing her.
Abigail just grabbed his hand and dragged him. "No more teasing! Let's go."
Nathan just obediently followed her as they headed to Nathan's car. He opened the car door for Abigail before stepping into the driver's seat. When Abigail settled down in her seat, he leaned closer, fastening her seatbelt.
Abigail could only hold her breath while her heart was pounding so wildly. Their closeness was making her hot.
