Capítulo 6: Talking Casually to the Devil

Day One…

[ Mission Strategy Number 1: Approach the Devil through a 'Chance Encounter' ]

(Continuation…)

~~*****~~

Nathan grabbed Ethan's hand, pulling him away from Abigail. Then he motioned her to follow them, going to the private elevator.

Abigail just fixed her cap and mask before obediently taking the lift together with Nathan and Little Ethan. The elevator ride was too silent. Nathan was totally ignoring her presence while Abigail was secretly observing the father and son duo.

She could tell that Nathan and Ethan had close family ties. After witnessing the interaction between the two, she could feel that they were getting along very well as father and son.

She was glad that she used Little Ethan in meeting the Devil. Nathan couldn't say no to the little boy so she succeeded in her first step– 'making a way to meet and get closer to the Devil and his family'.

It just so happened that today was Old Man Xu's birthday party. She was so lucky that Little Ethan invited her to come along with him. This was a great opportunity to have more interaction with the Devil.

Abigail secretly glanced at Nathan who was continuously ignoring her. 'Damn. I don't think this would be an easy task. This man is completely ignoring me as if I am invisible to his eyes.'

She took a deep sigh and bit her lower lip to release her tension. 'I should impress the Devil during the party. He should take notice of me. Men love beautiful women, don't they? I guess Nathan Sparks has the same weakness as those men.'

Ding!

The elevator door slid open as they finally reached the 18th floor where the CEO's office was located. Little Ethan immediately pulled his father's hand and invited Abigail to enter the room.

"Miss Abi, this is my Dad's office. Let's get inside now."

Abigail just nodded at the young boy. She was also having a hard time interacting and dealing with a kid but she was trying her best to get along with Little Ethan for her mission's sake.

'What are we going to do here? He should bring me to the mall and buy a dress for me.' Abigail asked herself, roaming her eyes around the place.

With her assassin's instinct, Abigail could feel that several pairs of eyes were watching them, particularly her. And she was right! Just a few seconds after stepping out of the elevator, Abigail caught the bodyguards looking at her with so much intrigue and curiosity in their eyes.

'What are they looking at? I want to gouge their eyes out!' She lamented to herself. She even shot them a cold sharp glare, making the bodyguards look away.

"Eh, is she the woman the little young master was talking about?"

"I thought she was as beautiful as his mother, Madam Monica? She just looks ordinary. Why is she wearing simple clothes like that? She is even hiding her face."

"Shhhh! Haven't you noticed? The way she stares at us is similar to our Big Boss. Scary!"

"Cough! Cough!" Axel heard the bodyguards' conversation. He cleared his throat to catch their attention, signaling them to stay quiet.

"Go back to your respective stations, Now!" He ordered them.

'Are they not afraid that our Big Boss might overhear them? They just survived a calamity a while ago because of the little young master. Are they courting death?' Axel shook his head helplessly.

He opened the door for Nathan, Abigail, and Little Ethan. But before they entered, Nathan faced his son and told him something.

"Ethan, go to your nanny and wait for us in your play room. Miss Abi and I have to prepare for the party. Understand?"

Abigail's eyes widened when she heard that. Nathan was sending away the little boy to be alone with her. She had a bad feeling about this.

Meeting Little Ethan's gaze, Abigail shook her head, asking the boy to stay with her. But the young boy just gave her a reassuring smile as if telling her that she would be alright.

"Miss Abi, see you later. Don't worry, my Dad will surely take care of you."

'Take care of me?! Definitely Not! I feel like he is going to kill me. If just one glance could kill, I should have been dead by now as the Devil's eyes were shooting daggers at me.'

Abigail didn't dare to stop the little boy as she didn't want to show weakness or feel intimidated by Nathan's overbearing attitude.

Meanwhile, Little Ethan said goodbye to his father and Abigail, feeling enthusiastic about the party tonight. He even winked at Abigail before turning around to leave together with his nanny.

When the young boy left, Nathan entered the room without waiting for Abigail. It was Axel who guided her inside.

Nathan proceeded to his executive chair and sat down. He slightly leaned on his seat, crossed his legs, and folded his arms over his chest before moving his scrutinizing gaze back to Abigail.

Abigail reflexively stopped one meter away from his table as she could sense a warning sign not to proceed further. Axel also stood next to her, waiting for Nathan's instruction.

"Who are you?" He asked her again sternly.

Abigail tried her best not to roll her eyes at him. She was now careful not to annoy this man. But she didn't know how long she could put up with this stone-cold Devil.

Trying to sound casual, she answered him, "I'm Abi. Have you forgotten my name already? Ethan just introduced me to you a while ago." She even giggled after saying those words.

"I am referring to your complete name," He coldly uttered, feeling annoyed.

"Oh? Sorry. But wait… am I obliged to do that? I'm not here for a job interview." Her tongue slipped once again even before she could think of a better response.

She just didn't want to mention her complete name as she was supposed to be in the hospital right now. She just wished that Nathan was not interested in the entertainment world so she could still hide the fact that she was the actress who allegedly committed suicide just a few hours ago.

'Uh-oh… I've almost forgotten about this. I should not show my face to the public. So how can I attend a party tonight? I'm a public figure. Someone might recognize me!'

Meanwhile, Axel's jaw dropped when he saw how Abigail talked back to his Boss. No one would dare talk to Nathan Sparks casually unless the person was close to him. Axel wanted to remind and warn her but he shut his mouth as soon as he saw Nathan's sharp gaze directed to Abigail.

'Is she crazy? Is she not afraid of him?' Axel thought to himself, giving Abigail an amused look.

Capítulo 7: Falling to the Devil's Arms

Day One…

[ Mission Strategy Number 1: Approach the Devil through a 'Chance Encounter' ]

~~*****~~

The CEO's office was engulfed with a deafening silence. Oblivious of the icy cold glare Nathan was giving her, Abigail had become distracted, thinking of a way on how she would attend the party without showing herself to the public.

'I have to attend this party to get closer to my target. The earlier I accomplish my mission the better. Who knows this Devil might suddenly choke my original body to death once he gets tired of waiting for me to recover?'

'So every single second is too precious. But… I can't let myself be seen in public right now. Refusing to attend the party is like letting go of my rare chance to interact with this cold man. His son might also become upset with me. What should I do?' Abigail was put in a great dilemma.

Axel took notice that Abigail was no longer paying attention to his Big Boss. She seemed so lost in her own thoughts.

'This woman is courting death…' Axel had become more anxious for this woman. He could already see the frightening look of his CEO.

"Don't waste my time and just give me a proper answer," Nathan simply said. His voice was filled with annoyance and displeasure towards the woman standing next to his assistant.

However, Abigail's mind was preoccupied by something that she didn't hear Nathan's words clearly. Thus, her silence made Nathan reach the end of his patience with her.

He stood up with a dark expression on his face. This woman never failed to ruin his mood whenever she would open her mouth to speak. And now that she kept her mouth shut, Nathan still got annoyed.

He couldn't understand why he could easily lose his temper just because of this strange woman he had just met today. He usually ignored these annoying kinds of people. He detests interacting with them.

He wondered why she was able to catch his son's attention. What the hell did she do to Little Ethan? And now, he could no longer wait to discover this woman's identity. He was still suspicious of her.

Nathan stormed in her direction, thinking of removing her cap and mask. He hated looking at her with those things on. Why was she hiding her face?

Nathan just reached her spot when suddenly Abigail felt something strange. Her heart constricted and her mind seemed like it was going to explode.

"Aah!" Abigail groaned and whimpered, making Nathan stop abruptly. Axel also hastily looked at her worriedly.

One hand held her forehead and the other one clutched her chest tightly as she fought for breath, her heartbeat quickened. Her head was beginning to throb; waves of crushing agony beat one by one against the back of her eyelids, her vision becoming blurry.

"Miss Abi, are you okay? What's wrong?" Axel asked her with concern. He was about to touch her and hold her body for support when Nathan raised his hand, stopping him from doing so.

The next thing that happened was Abigail collapsed right in front of Nathan. The Devil was caught off guard, but his hands reflexively moved to catch her from falling to the ground.

Axel: "..."

Axel blinked several times, wondering if he was just imagining things. 'What did I see? My Boss caught her in his arms?!'

*Awkward Silence*

Nathan just stood frozen in his spot. Abigail's unconscious body was leaning on his, her head resting on his broad chest while his hands were wrapped around her waist.

Nathan was also baffled by his own actions. He should have let her fall to the ground or let his assistant hold her.

Clearing his throat, Nathan ordered Axel to call Dr. Zhao, their family doctor who was stationed in SYP Twilight Corporation. He couldn't let anything happen to this woman, otherwise, his son would blame him.

Snapping out of his stupor, Axel urgently called Dr. Zhao while Nathan carried Abigail towards the room attached to his office. Upon reaching the bed, he put her down harshly. He almost threw her on the bed since he hated body contact with other women!

Still wearing his dark expression, Nathan bent down to remove Abigail's mask. Her cap already fell on the floor when Nathan carried her.

Nathan was taken aback for a moment when he saw her charming face. The woman was such a beauty and she looked familiar. However, he couldn't remember when and where he saw her.

"If I find out that you are just acting sick to avoid my interrogation, I will make you suffer," Nathan threatened her. But the woman was not responding. She totally lost consciousness.

He ground his teeth, still thinking that Abigail was just pretending to faint. Was she just faking it? Nathan had to test her and find out.

He poked her cheeks numerous times using his forefinger but Abigail remained unconscious. Her eyes didn't even move. That was the time he was convinced that the woman was unconscious. He also made sure that she was still breathing.

Nathan remained in that room, waiting for Dr. Zhao to arrive. His eyes lingered on her face, still searching in his memory where he saw her.

'I can't remember…'

While observing her sleeping figure, Nathan noticed her long eyelashes, pouty pink lips, and her cute nose. He even estimated her height and figure size. His gaze traveled from her chest down to her waist and legs.

He had to admit that she had an excellent feminine physique. 'Is she a model or an actress?'

He kept on sizing her up from head to toe when Dr. Zhao arrived together with Little Ethan and Axel.

"Dad? What happened to Miss Abi? Did you hurt her?" The little one questioned his father, eyeing him suspiciously.

"No," he promptly responded. Then he glanced at Axel, urging him to explain on his behalf.

Catching the meaning of his gaze, Axel explained everything to Little Ethan.

"Now, do you believe me? Your Uncle Axel is my witness." Nathan said. Little Ethan nodded his head.

Dr. Zhao just smiled at the father and son duo before he examined Abigail.

"You can't bring her to the party tonight. She's sick." Nathan rejoiced inwardly in this turn of events. At least, he had a valid reason now to ditch this woman. He would never let his son get close to a stranger.

Little Ethan fell silent for a moment, contemplating whether he would agree to his father or not.

After a while, Little Ethan bobbed his head frantically. Nathan thought he already won. But Ethan was an intelligent child. He could see through his father's plan.

"Okay, Dad. I will not trouble Miss Abi and force her to attend the party. But… we have to bring her to our home. She's sick. I will take care of her. She's my future wife. She's my responsibility!" Little Ethan said it bluntly, without asking Nathan's approval.

Nathan: "..."
