Chapter 407
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 407 No One Is Special to Him âItâs feasible. But then again, lots of people are already doing it. I fear others will suspect our motives if we follow in their footsteps. After all, weâre currently getting our *sses handed back to us. We will get slandered if those who suppress us use this opportunity to reveal the difficulties weâre facing and combine this charity program that you plan to do into their stories.â Luna rolled over as she expressed her point of view.
Abigail simply said, âWe will process the clothes we collect again then. That way, no one will have an issue with it.â
Luna squinted her eyes in thought. After a while, she added, âI will certainly support you in the things you want to do. By the way, why did you go to Westcape Village? And why were you back so soon? You even sent out your location. You got me worried sick.â
âRonaldo had obtained information saying that Kelly was from that village. But now, it seems to be fake information meant to lure me there. Moreover, the village is shady. It was all thanks to a teacher, who is an undercover agent, that I managed to leave the village and return in one piece.â Abigail involuntarily sighed after she finished saying that.
âIn my opinion, I donât think you should be so passive when dealing with Kelly. I plan to grow my business in Capitalis, and Iâve been looking at offices recently. So, do you want to move to Capitalis with me?â Luna proposed while gazing at the ceiling.
Her words took Abigail off guard. âWho will manage the business in Pendorf then?â
âStill us. All staff members in our office will follow us to Capitalis, and Iâll leave our original office space to the lower-level management.â Luna had long planned everything in advance.
âSo, what youâre saying is that I have to deal with Kelly in Capitalis?â Abigail asked.
Luna hummed and continued, âTo put it bluntly, Kelly is too good at acting. Itâs hard for those in Capitalis to know the whole story of the chaos sheâs creating in Pendorf. But what if it happens in Capitalis? What if we lure her step by step into our trap? As our ancestors said, âTouch pitch, and you will be defiled.â
Abigail couldnât help but find her logic sound as she replied agreeably, âYouâre right, indeed. Iâm just afraid she will stick around Sean and refuse to return to Capitalis.â
Luna chuckled after hearing those words. Iâm guessing Sean wonât like her.â
Abigail fell silent for a while before asking, âHow are you so sure?â
Even though she felt she shouldnât dwell on this topic, she still couldnât help but be curious.
Just a hunch Sean gives me a feeling that he isnât the kind of man who would be attracted to just any woman Luna explained After all, Abigail has been with him for three whole years. Even Joan, whom 1/3 ke once cared for, isnât that special to him, let alone Kelly Abigail said nothing more, for she felt Lunaâs words really made sense.
âRest. Weâll continue looking around the exhibition tomorrow.â With that, Luna got up and went to the bathroom to shower.
As for Abigail, she called Ronaldo.
He immediately answered.
âMs. Quinn, you sure are free to give me a ring.â Ronaldoâs voice sounded as cheerful and relaxed as ever.
gone to âSomeone should have intervened and led you to the information you found. I have check out the village, but the whole village gave off a really weird vibe,â Abigail softly informed him. She was still very grateful to the teacher for reminding her and rescuing her from a pickle.
âOh, God! Are you okay? Damn! They sure are wily! I canât believe they have released fake information just to deceive me!â
Ronaldoâs mood instantly took a drastic turn-from worried to fuming.
âIâm fine. Find out what kind of village Westcape Village is exactly. From what I saw today, I think. the village seems to be running an illegal operation. By the way, your relatives will probably gain. some form of merit if they can get to the bottom of it,â Abigail said with a smile.
âOkay. Iâll talk to them about this. Still, I am definitely going to put my all just to expose Kellyâs identity after this! I canât believe those rats dared to pull the wool over my eyes!â Ronaldo hung up the phone angrily after saying that.
Abigail shook her head helplessly.
Early the next morning, Abigail and Luna, who rested well, continued looking around the exhibition.
Apart from the brands from yesterday, several new brands joined the exhibition today.
Luna and Abigail, who wore a mask, were looking at clothes in the exhibition area of new brands. Luna couldnât help but start being nitpicky about it as she muttered, âThe designs of these clothes. are awful. All of them look similar. Just look at this! The fabric is just ordinary chiffon, yet theyâre selling it for 599.99. Tsk. Tsk.â
âItâs all about brand premium. Take the clothes I design for an example. You only dare to charge such a high price for them because of my reputation, no?â Abigail smiled and stated.
Still, she also felt that there was indeed no progress regarding the design of womenâs apparel. Itâs not fashionable at all, considering its price.
2/3 âWell, the clothes you design are stunning. On the other hand, clothes with this design are simply all over the roadside booths.
Are customers nothing but an ATM to them?â Luna muttered.
After that, she turned around and realized the brandâs owner was standing right behind them.
The owner was a young and handsome man. He wasnât angry even after getting criticized. In fact, he even gave them an awkward smile after Luna noticed his presence.
Meanwhile, Abigail realized something was wrong when she saw Luna pulling her. Hence, she turned her head and looked over.
The instant she noticed what was going on, she felt awkward.
âCan I get a discount on this dress?â she asked, holding a white chiffon dress.
The young owner came over, glanced at the price tag, and said, âActually, you donât have to force yourself to buy.â
The reason why he said so was that the dress Abigail was holding cost 449.99. He was now too embarrassed to sell it after hearing Lunaâs harsh criticisms.
Awkwardness enveloped the three as they stood there.
Luna pulled Abigail and wanted to leave. Before she could exit the exhibition area, the brandâs owner behind her inquired earnestly, âIs the design really that bad?â
âItâs too expensive... As for the design, itâs not entirely bad. After all, womenâs apparel is all rather similar,â Luna comforted him Abigail glanced at her and stated honestly, âItâs not creative enough. Although many womenâs apparel on the market share similar designs, the venue youâre currently at is a high-end clothing exhibition. Go around, look at other peopleâs designs, and you will see how theirs are different from yours.â
Either way, the clothes heâs selling are too average and expensive.
The only advantage is that its brand is still courably renowned. Nonetheless, thatâs merely the effect of an old brand, nothing more. How can a company expect its business to prosper with such a simple design?
