The Spare Wife

Chapter 9

Luna smiled, entered the elevator, and walked straight in the direction of the

president’s office. Once she arrived at the door, she heard an idle voice from

inside, asking, “Alana, is that you?”

The two ladies froze at the door and stared at Kevin in utter astonishment. It

didn’t help that the man had also personally come out of the office to greet

them.

Eventually, it was Luna who reacted first. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Stewart. I’m

Alana and also the owner of L.Moon, Luna Smith.”

Although he was shaking hands with Luna, Kevin fixed his gaze on Abigail.

“She is…”

“She is my assistant,” Luna explained hastily.

Kevin almost burst into laughter upon hearing that. Then, he turned around Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

and teased the person inside, “Sean, is your family going bankrupt?”

Abigail followed his gaze and looked inside. Unfortunately for her, she

immediately saw a familiar figure sitting on the couch with his back facing

the door.

Abigail could still recognize it was Sean at a glance even if it was merely a

silhouette. Hence, she couldn’t help but curl her lips in annoyance. It’s true

when they say opponents always stumble upon one another. Look at us! I

can’t believe I would meet him here after we didn’t get to meet at the City

Hall this morning.

Likewise, Sean was looking at her with apparent suspicion in his eyes.

The oblivious Kevin shifted his gaze between the two as he smiled and said,

“Miss Smith, I have been waiting for your arrival. Please come in.”

Abigail looked away nonchalantly and followed Luna, who was trying her best

to play the role of an assistant.

Now that the cooperation between East Joy Talent and L.Moon was

practically finalized, all that remained was Kevin’s final decision.

Although Luna wasn’t the real Alana, she still knew her design concept and

strength thoroughly by heart from her years as Abigail’s best friend. Hence,

she wasn’t afraid of being not–so–subtly interrogated.

Soon, it was time to sign the contract.

Unexpectedly, Kevin pushed the contract aside and said with a smile, “Miss

Smith, there’s no rush in signing the contract. Before we sign the contract, I

have a presumptuous request. There is a friend of mine who would like to ask

you to design a dress that is solely for him. This isn’t included in the contract,

so I’ll let you set the price. Of course, this is only if the dress could be

completed before our company’s fashion gala next month.”

Only Sean was the other person present in the huge office other than Kevin

that wasn’t from L.Moon Studio. Hence, even a fool could figure out who this

friend was.

Therefore, Luna shot Kevin a faint smile as she inwardly cursed him to hell

and back. Meanwhile, she outwardly replied in a polite manner, “Mr. Stewart,

my husband has just passed away recently, so I’m afraid I can’t design a

dress that will satisfy your friend’s needs. I don’t want to spoil such a joyous

event and ruin your friendship.”

After that, she stood up without hesitation and picked up the contract. “Since

you still need time to consider our cooperation, I shall take this contract with

1. me. We still have other businesses to attend to. So, we shall take our leave.”

“Wait!” Kevin stretched out his hand, attempting to ask them to stay. I was

just casually bringing up the topic. I never said I wouldn’t sign the contract!

To his dismay, the two clearly had no intention of sticking around any longer,

for they simply departed without even a backward glance.

When Kevin quickly realized that the famous Alana, who finally agreed to

meet him, took off just like that, he focused his gaze on Sean suspiciously.

“Hey! Abigail is Alana’s assistant. So, why didn’t you just ask her for help?”

Instead, he still needs to indirectly communicate through me!

“Did you two have a fight?” Kevin mumbled to himself, “It doesn’t seem like it.

When her car hit my car earlier during her arrival, her eyes still lit up at the

mention of you.”

Lit up? Well, of course, it did. However, it didn’t light up because of love.

Instead, it’s because of money.

Sean gave him a cold look before stating, “Your father was right in not

naming you as the successor of the Stewarts.” He will lose all the wealth his

family has built for years sooner or later.

After that, he grabbed his coat, got up, and left.

Once Abigail stepped out of the building, she sneezed loudly. Then, she

rubbed her eyes and snappishly speculated the two gentlemen were

criticizing her harshly in the office.

As for Luna, she immediately took off her sunglasses and spat, “That

good–for–nothing Graham! You have yet to divorce him, but he dares to pull

off such a dishonest act?! In my opinion, you are right to file a divorce. It’s

best to cut ties with a sc*mbag like him before it’s too late!”

Since she had always been a hot–tempered person, she naturally didn’t

hesitate when she was in the mood to scold a person. “How could he think of

asking his wife to customize a dress for his mistress?! She isn’t worthy of

wearing the clothes you designed!”

At this moment, Luna lashed all her frustration and resentment from having

lost the opportunity to sign a profitable business deal with East Joy Talent at

Sean.

Meanwhile, Abigail merely curled her lips into a bitter smile. Even though what

Luna said was facts and heart–wrenching, she really didn’t feel anything now.

Currently, divorcing Sean as soon as possible was her top priority.

“We should hurry up and leave. Otherwise, we will definitely lose both the deal

and our money if Kevin chases us down here and demands the money for

his car,” Abigail said rationally. “Besides, why bother lowering ourselves to the

same level as a lowlife?”

Sean, who chased after her, only managed to hear these words out of the

entire conversation. In an instant, his face darkened in anger. First, she uses

me as a decoy. Now, she calls me a lowlife?! Excellent! Truly excellent!

Abigail and Luna, on the other hand, didn’t notice his presence at all. As they

chatted, they swiftly got into the car. Then, Luna started the engine and drove

out of the building resolutely.

Luna was still indignant halfway through the journey. “By the way, I have

successfully gotten the invitation card for East Joy Talent’s fashion gala. I will

attend the gala with you that evening. If he dares to bully you, I’m going to

slap him and his mistress hard in the face!”
