Bab 21: Bringing Her to the HQ!

Day Two…

[ Mission Strategy Number 2: Serve Him Like A King! ]

~~*****~~

After Ethan's nanny whispered something to Abigail, she gave her the phone. Axel wanted to talk to her. Meanwhile, Little Ethan gazed up, observing Abigail's expression as she listened to Axel from the other line. She looked so shocked.

Seeing her getting distracted, the husband and wife immediately motioned their son to follow them and leave quietly. They had forgotten that Nathan Sparks was someone whom they didn't want to offend. Fortunately, this woman reminded them whom they shouldn't challenge!

Teacher Jane could only watch as the family of three, including the two children, walked away, avoiding another argument with Abigail and Ethan.

Teacher Jane could understand that they didn't want to get on the bad side of Nathan Sparks and his family. They might be rich and powerful but still, they were no match against Nathan Sparks.

She somehow felt grateful that this kid's fight had been resolved peacefully, not letting the adults get involved. However, she didn't expect that Little Ethan would punch his classmate. He was always well-behaved.

The nanny motioned Teacher Jane to leave as well. Something was going to happen and she didn't want the teacher to witness the scene. Getting the nanny's signal, Teacher Jane said goodbye, leaving the three of them.

Little Ethan glanced at his nanny, giving her a questioning gaze. Abigail was still engrossed with the phone call so the young boy didn't want to interrupt her.

Abigail didn't say a word until the call ended. Then she glanced at Ethan, smiling at him faintly.

"Who was on the phone? Uncle Axel or my father? Is there something wrong, Miss Abi?" The boy asked her with his curious eyes.

Abigail shook her head. "Everything is fine. Don't worry, Ethan. As I promise, I will never tell you Dad about this." She caressed Ethan's charming face. The young boy just nodded his head, smiling back at Abigail. He felt reassured now.

"Thanks, Miss Abi," Ethan hugged Abigail once again, wrapping his small arms around her legs.

Abigail stroked his head, showing him the lunchbox she prepared for him.

"Have you finished eating your lunch? If not, I brought a lunchbox. I made it personally… for you."

Ethan's eyes sparkled with delight as soon as he saw the lunchbox. He released her from his grasp in order to grab the lunchbox in Abigail's hands.

Just a while ago, his bully classmates were trying to flex their lunchboxes to him. Who would have thought that Abigail would make one for him? He felt so happy and touched!

He couldn't contain his joy. Because of that, the little young boy's attention had been diverted. He had forgotten about the phone call that made Abigail speechless a while ago.

"Thank you for this, Miss Abi! I love it!" Ethan's doe-like eyes were looking at her filled with gratitude.

Abigail just ruffled his hair affectionately and said, "Go and eat your lunch now. I need to go somewhere."

Ethan pouted his small lips and asked, "Where are you going, Miss Abi? Why don't you accompany me while I eat?" Ethan gave her a pleading look.

Abigail took a deep sigh. She could see the men in black coming their way. She couldn't stay there longer. The bodyguards were there to fetch her. It was an order from Axel…or rather, it was an order from the Devil, himself.

"I'm sorry, Little Ethan. I can't accompany you today. I will make it up to you next time."

"Okay," he said in his sad tone. "But Miss Abi… can you make another lunchbox for me tomorrow?"

Abigail bobbed her head as a response. The smile on Ethan's lips returned when Abigail agreed to cook for him once again. He would look forward to that.

While Ethan was happily checking his lunchbox, Abigail glanced at his nanny meaningfully. Then she finally said goodbye to them.

Abigail didn't wait for the bodyguards to come. She voluntarily walked towards them. Five bodyguards came to fetch her. They were looking daggers at her. One guy yanked her elbow, pulling her towards the black car.

"You have to come with us! How dare you try to poison our Boss!" The team leader was so angry at Abigail.

Abigail frowned. She didn't know why they were accusing her of poisoning their CEO. She didn't put poison on his food. She was being accused wrongly!

But on a positive note, she found out that the Devil ate the lunchbox she prepared for him.

'What happened to him? I need to find out.' Abigail thought to herself. She followed them obediently to know the reason why Nathan and his men were accusing her of the thing she didn't do.

As she was trained to deal with anything in a difficult situation, Abigail remained calm although she knew that she was in trouble.

She stepped into the car, sitting in the back passenger seat. Two guards sat down on her left and right side as if securing her not to escape from them.

She closed her eyes, leaning her head on the headrest of the seat. She kept replaying in her mind how she cooked the food. She was certain that she didn't mix anything on the menu. She followed every instruction and only put the ingredients written in the Recipe Book.

'Did someone put something in it? Chef Min or one of his assistants? No! That's impossible. I stayed with the food the whole time, decorating the lunchbox. No one touched the food except me, Butler Li, and the family Chauffeur who delivered the food to Nathan's office.

Abigail was still lost in her own thoughts when one of the bodyguards spoke up once again. "You can't escape now so better tell the truth later on. Our Master might still lessen your punishment. This is just friendly advice."

Abigail raised her eyebrows and spat back, "We are not friends. I don't need your so-called friendly advice. Just keep it to yourself."

"Pffft," the driver tried to hold his laughter. This lady was so bold and brave. She didn't feel frightened at all even though she was surrounded by Nathan's bodyguards.

The bodyguard who got humiliated by Abigail's answer was about to slap her when another bodyguard stopped his comrade.

"Don't touch her. Do you want to lose your job? Boss didn't order us to lay a finger on her. We just have to bring her to the HQ," he reminded him.

Abigail frowned when she heard that. 'HQ? They are not bringing me to the SYP Starlight Corp. This is not also the way to the Sparks Villa. Don't tell me… they are bringing me to the Syphiruz Headquarters?!'

Bab 22: Accusation

Day Two…

[ Mission Strategy Number 2: Serve Him Like A King! ]

~~*****~~

Abigail looked out of the car window and surveyed the surroundings carefully. The car was approaching the main gate. She strained her eyes into the distance to where the big facility was located. It looked familiar to her.

'Wait. I think I've been there,' Abigail thought to herself. She could feel a sense of familiarity with the surrounding environment.

When the car entered the gate, Abigail had remembered it. She confirmed her assumption! This was not the main HQ of Syphiruz but this was one of their hideouts.

Furthermore, this hideout was a medical facility owned by Syphiruz, one of the headquarters of the organization.

'Damn!' She cursed inwardly. 'I remember now! This is the place where my original body is being held captive by the devil.'

She wondered why she was brought there by Nathan's bodyguard. Were they trying to expose Nathan to her as the Supreme Leader of Syphiruz?

Nathan Sparks was hiding his other identity as a leader of a mafia organization. He was only known as Supreme Leader or 'The Devil'. Only a few people in the underground world knew about his identity as Nathan Sparks. One of them was Lady Phantomflake.

When she received her mission, Phantomflake did a thorough research and background check on Nathan so she found out his real identity as Nathan Sparks– the CEO of SYP Starlight Corporation.

Abigail snapped out of her deep thoughts when the car stopped in front of the building and the bodyguard opened the car door.

"Get out," one bodyguard ordered her sternly. He tried to grab her elbow to pull her out but Abigail hit his hand, not allowing him to touch her.

"I can get out on my own," Abigail responded, voluntarily stepping out of the car.

The bodyguard shot her a cold sharp glare. Abigail's behavior could annoy him. She was so calm and not affected by this dire situation she was in. She looked like she didn't care as if she didn't do anything wrong against their Big Boss, Nathan.

'Are they planning to detain me in this facility? My original body is already trapped here, and now Nathan plans to confine even my soul and this new body here.' Abigail scowled at that thought. She roamed her eyes around the surroundings.

She could see that the facility was heavily guarded by armed men. At first, she thought this facility was more like a prison cell than a medical facility because of the ambiance of the surroundings.

The main guard let them in after seeing Abigail and Nathan's three family bodyguards. She was being escorted to the third floor where someone was waiting for her for the interrogation.

As they took the lift, Abigail was already thinking of how she would deal with Nathan. Should she apologize for what happened or should she insist on her innocence? She had no ill-motive for cooking Nathan's food. Bam-Bam already warned her not to kill Nathan while using Abigail's body.

Ding!

The door of the elevator slid open. Abigail clenched her fists, still undecided what she should do in facing Nathan. She might be calm outside, but deep inside, she was struggling with how she would explain this to Nathan. She had no proof. She wondered if Nathan would listen or believe her words.

The three bodyguards continued guiding her until they reached the room. Abigail frowned as soon as she saw the three people inside– Butler Li, Chef Min, and Chef Min's assistant cook.

'Why are they here?' Abigail asked herself. Then her eyes reflexively scanned the room, looking for Nathan. She wanted to see him, wondering about his current condition. She heard that Nathan suddenly collapsed a few minutes after eating the lunchbox she made for him.

'Is the Devil okay? Where is he?'

Her eyes lit up when the other door was pushed open, anticipating Nathan's arrival. Axel entered first, followed by someone. However, the gleam in Abigail's eyes disappeared as soon as she saw Axel's companion.

It was not Nathan, but a beautiful woman wearing a white coat. She might be a doctor in that facility. Her eyes and Abigail's eyes met for a moment. The doctor sized Abigail up, giving her a ridiculing look. She didn't hide the displeasure on her face.

"Is she the one who poisoned Nathan?" The doctor asked them.

"Yes, Doc. Veronica. She was the one who cooked the food for Master Nathan." Chef Min answered, pointing his finger at Abigail. The assistant cook also nodded her head to support Chef Min's claim.

'This woman… She looks similar to someone…' Abigail tried to recall it. Then Monica's beautiful face flashed in her mind.

'I remember her. She's Veronica, Monica's elder sister!' Her eyes widened for a moment.

But she was able to hide her emotions right away.

"You are accusing the wrong person. Miss Abigail didn't have any intention to poison our Master. She just wanted to cook food for him as a sign of her apology for entering his room without his consent," Butler Li explained spontaneously, defending Abigail.

However, his statement made Veronica's expression darken. How could this woman do that? Veronica became more irritated just thinking about that. Even she herself was not allowed to enter his room whenever she would visit Nathan, Monica, and Ethan before.

'Is she trying to seduce Nathan? No way! I can't let her do that. Nathan should be mine!' Veronica clenched her jaw while looking daggers at Abigail.

Meanwhile, Axel was also shocked when he heard that. 'Eh? She went inside his room. Nathan didn't want outsiders to enter his room other than Ethan and me.'

"We don't believe you! Master collapsed right after eating lunch. She might have an ulterior motive for approaching our Master. Butler Li! Why are you defending her? Don't tell us you connive with this woman? Did you betray our Master?! How dare you?" Chef Min also involved Butler Li as he was pissed off by him. Butler Li kept siding with Abigail and defending her.

"Oh right! Butler Li was the one who bought the ingredients!" Assistant Cook also spoke up, pointing a finger at Butler Li.
