The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 77 Whatâs Wrong With Creating a Fauxmance Abigail looked at Joan calmly. âSeduce? Do you even have the right to use that word?â
Facing Abigailâs overwhelming aura, Joan could not help but feel a bit intimidated. She knows Sean is married, and if sheâs pushed into a corner, she will throw me under the bus.
Suddenly, she had a lightbulb moment and quickly put on a look of being misunderstood. âMiss Quinn, Iâm just trying to protect Lunaâs reputation. I didnât witness whether Sean came out of your room in the morning, but since someone claimed to have seen it, it canât be a lie, can it?â
âMiss Lowery, why donât you find an opportunity to ask Mr. Graham? I canât answer when youâre questioning me like that because I donât know if he came to my room at 4.00AM.â Abigail definitely would not admit it. This whole situation is Seanâs problem from the start. Why should I bear the pressure in this whirlwind?
Before Nina could respond, she continued, âWho stays awake at 4.00AM? Besides, if I could seduce him, why would I be working as an assistant?â With that, she picked up a pair of scissors and a piece of cardboard that were within reach and then turned to leave.
Suddenly, Nina raised her voice and emphasized. âI did see it! Your lies wonât work!â
At her words, Abigail stopped at the elevator and turned to look at her. âTelling me all this wonât help. Mr. Graham has to admit it because heâs the one who entered my room. If you have doubts, you can present evidence. Itâs that simple.â
Back in Lunaâs room, she began working on her design board but could not shake off the irritation. So, she complained to Luna, âNina now firmly believes that weâre the decided winners.â
At that moment, Luna was sitting on the couch, handling L.Moonâs orders on her tablet. When she heard Abigailâs words, she said, âThis is not easy to resolve. The key issue is that Sean wonât stand on your side no matter what happens in the program.â
Abigail looked at her.
As Luna put her tablet down, she looked into Abigailâs eyes and continued, âIf we win, Nina will spread rumors online after the program ends, claiming that the program was rigged. Other envious designers wonât miss the chance to attack us, especially Joan.â
Suddenly, Abigail found herself lacking the enthusiasm to design the clothing for the competition. She loved design, but she never imagined that she would one day feel disgusted by a piece of clothing she was about to create.
âUnless we donât win. But whatâs the point of coming here if we donât? Are we here to play political maneuvers with them? Thatâs not fun at all.â After speaking, Luna picked up her tablet again to continue processing orders.
Meanwhile, Abigail fell into silence, feeling restless.
itâs your âGetting involved with Sean is never a good thing. Itâs easy for him. He can just pull up his pants.
fault. and leave, leaving you amid this whirlwind. If you ever try to confront him, heâll say After all, no matter what trouble Joan stirs up, it will always be your fault. Men will be men.â Luna sighed, clearly having no expectations from men, especially given Abigailâs current marital situation.
âSorry for dragging you into this,â Abigail said with a bitter smile, seeking sympathy from Luna.
âItâs not a big deal. Besides, staying in a luxury hotel for a while is quite nice.â Luna had a positive outlook.
The moment Abigail approached her with scissors, she immediately pulled her legs back. âBe careful with those.â
âDonât you have any good ideas to help me?â Abigail retreated and continued cutting the cardboard.
As Luna looked at her, she shook her head. âIf Sean doesnât come out to clarify, nothing we say will make a difference. Youâve already decided not to admit he came to your room anyway. Besides, we donât have keys to enter someone elseâs room, but as the host here, he might. We have to shift the blame.â
Abigailâs words to Nina were also aimed at shifting blame. After all, she had no intention of being held accountable for it.
Besides, Sean had benefited from their encounter last night.
âRight now, the netizens are totally shipping you two. If he implies that he secretly visited your room at night and you didnât know, the netizens will be thrilled. Plus, considering your leg injury, with their vivid imagination, theyâll swoon over it themselves.â A mischievous smile played on Lunaâs lips.
âIâm just worried that Sean will get angry when he finds out,â Abigail whispered. After all, Joan will get jealous, and he might be willing to take the blame just to make her feel better.
Suddenly, Luna motioned for her to come closer.
She immediately leaned in and heard Luna whisper, âThe worstâcase scenario right now is that even if we win an award, weâll end up with a bad reputation. If we donât win, itâs like coming here for nothing. We might even have to consider dropping out of the program halfway. Thereâs no easy way out. So, donât worry about whether heâs angry or not.â
Seeing Abigail looking at her, she continued, âPretend you didnât know he came to your room.
When he clarifies, do you think heâll dare to say he did something with you that night?â
âFor the sake of that Homewrecker Palmer, he wonât,â Abigail said with confidence.
At her answer, Luna squeezed her shoulder. âExactly. Let the fans ship you two. L.Moon has been gaining a lot of popularity lately. Since we canât win, at least we can gain some fame, right? Itâs his fault for getting caught sneaking into your room late at night. Let him deal with the consequences. As for you, just play dumb.â
