Chapter 1000
Tahlia. âAbby youâre even more beautiful and gentle than I imaginedâ
Abigail, âWell, thank you Youâre quite a looker yourselfâ
Cornelia, âEnough with the exchanging of pleasantries, you two
Abigail. Weâre not just exchanging pleasantries, weâre appreciating each otherâ
Dylan, feeling left out, parked his car and quickly walked up to Abigail, âHello, Abigaill
Abigail, caught off guard finally remembered meeting him a few days before. âHello, Dylan!â
Dylan stretched out his hand to Abigail, âPleasure to meet you!â
Abigail didnât really want to engage with him, but his enthusiasm compelled her to reciprocate the handshake. But Dylan didnât let go of her hand, âAbigail
Abigail quickly withdrew her hand, âHave you had lunch yet? If not, perhaps you can join us â
She was only being polite, but Dylan actually accepted, âWell, if you insist
They all entered the residential area, heading towards the building where Abigail lived.
Dyfan followed closely behind Abigail, âAbigail..â
Guessing Dylan might be into her, she cut him off before he said something she didnât want to hear, âDylan, you look pretty young. Got a girlfriend?â
Dylan, âAre you offering to play matchmaker?â
Abigail âCan I set you up?â
Dylan, âI have many girls chasing me, but I havenât met the right one yet. If itâs you, I might considerâ
Abigail, âI already have a boyfriend I was thinking of introducing you to my cousin. She just graduated from college and sheâs pretty Would you like me to put you in touch?â Dylan, âIâm almost thirty, it wouldnât be appropriate for me to pursue a fresh graduate
Dylan politely declined, but his message was clear to Abigail, âWell then, I hope you find the girl of your dreams soon.â
Dylan looked at Abigail and laughed, âActually, Iâve already met her, but she turned me down.â
The implication of his words was too obvious, so Abigail played dumb, âCornelia, President Hartley should care more about his employees. Heâs married but doesnât care whether his employees areâ
Cornelia, âWhich company meddles in their employeesâ love lives? Did your boyfriend leave?â
Abigail, âHe has work to do. Heâs already back in Riverton.â
Dylan, âAbigail, are things going well between you and your boyfriend?â
Abigail, âWeâve met each otherâs parents and theyâre all happy. Weâre planning on getting married this year.â
Dylan, âYouâre still young, thereâs no need to rush into marriage.â
Cornelia suddenly chimed in, âAre you trying to steal Abby away?â
âI am, actually. But I need Abby to give me a chance,â Dylan, looking at Abigail with determination in his eyes. âAbigail, Iâm thirty this year, the head of the Hartley Group Rosenberg branch, and I earn a hefty salary Iâm an orphan, so if you marry me, you wonât have to worry about complex family relations. Iâm a really good catch. Think about marrying me.â
Nobody expected Dylan to be so straightforward about his intentions.
Cornelia was puzzled, âYouâve only met Abby twice and youâre already head over heels for her? You want to propose?â
Cornelia thought this was highly unlikely!
