Day Nine…
~~*****~~
As promised, Little Ethan would inform his father of anything he knew about Abigail. This was part of his secret mission that was given by his father.
"Dad, don't worry. Nothing suspicious with Miss Abi. Just a few days ago, she asked Powy to gather information about Jun Shen, the former CEO of Shen Tian Company, Santra, her personal assistant, and Ana Aulestia, her manager."
The crease on Nathan's forehead deepened further. He could understand why Abigail wanted to gather information about Jun Shen. But why did she have to ask about her personal assistant and manager? This made Nathan confused.
"Is there anything more she asked from Powy?" Nathan asked his son once again.
"Yes, Dad! Miss Abi wants you to give her a prototype similar to Powy, Riemc, and BedHeadBookWorm as your gift." Ethan declared to him. "She even asked them if you made a prototype robot for my mother. She wondered if she could also have a playmate so Powy suggested asking you first."
Nathan just blinked incomprehensibly. He was at a loss for words when he heard that Abigail asked about Monica and she wanted to have a special robot made by him.
"About the prototype robot… Let me think about it first. I will see if she deserves to have one," Nathan said after contemplating.
"Yey! Don't back on your words, Dad. Miss Abi will be so happy if she receives one." Ethan was glad that his father didn't reject the idea of making a prototype robot for Abigail. It would be a great point for his Dad if he would make Abigail happy with his special gift.
"Okay. I have to end the call now, son. If you encounter any problem, just inform me right away."
"Got it, Dad! I will do that." Ethan politely said to his father.
Just when he thought that his father would hang up the phone, Nathan made another request from Ethan.
"Son… inform me if ever Abigail will talk about me." Nathan was curious whether Abigail remembered something or not.
Little Ethan let out a soft giggle. He didn't expect that his father would request something like that. "Dad, are you curious about Miss Abi's opinion about your date last night? Haha. You have nothing to worry about, Dad. Leave it to me. I will definitely ask her."
Nathan could only shake his head helplessly. His son seemed like he was teasing him. It was time to flee now.
"Okay, Son. I'm hanging up now." Nathan said, saying goodbye to Ethan.
After calling Ethan, Nathan contacted Axel. His assistant still felt awkward because of what they witnessed last night– kiss marks on Nathan's body!
"Hi, Boss… good morning!"
"Axel… take care of the company while I'm not around. I'm going to Country F together with Veronica. I will bring Phantomflake for her examination and treatment." Nathan's tone was serious.
"Noted, Boss. I will deal with the company matters and update you regularly. How long will you be gone?" Axel politely asked his Big Boss.
"Five to Seven Days… It will depend on the result of Phantom's examination." Nathan responded.
"I want you to do some errands for me," he added. "Fetch Abigail at EDSJ Five Star Hotel and bring her extra clothes."
"Y‐Yes, Boss," Axel meekly said, scratching his nose. Just like Chantha, Axel began to imagine wild things about Nathan and Abigail. Did they sleep together last night?
"One more thing. Tell Joker to speed up his investigation and finish up the background check on Abigail Scarlett. I need them as soon as possible." Nathan had become more curious about Abigail because of the words she said while she was under the influence of Truth Serum.
"Copy, Sir! I will tell him right after this call."
Nathan just finished talking to Axel when he received a message from Aiden.
*Aiden's Message*
[ Kathleen and I picked up Abigail from the hotel. We are hanging out right now. It seems like you made her upset. She's in the bad mood. ]
Nathan typed a reply for Aiden's message
[ What did she say? ]
*Aiden's Message*
[ Nothing. She just told us that she couldn't consider it as a date. You just made her a chaperon and that you left her without a word! ]
Nathan heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like Abigail didn't mention anything about last night's intimate moment between them. He typed another reply.
[ I'm going to Country F today and I will be gone for a week. ]
Nathan informed Aiden without telling him directly to pass the message to Abigail. But he already expected Aiden to run his mouth and inform Abigail about this. In short, he used Aiden secretly to let Abigail know that he would be gone for a while.
And Aiden didn't disappoint Nathan. He immediately joined Abigail and Kathleen inside the restaurant.
"Hey Ladies, I have news for you!" Aiden declared as soon as he entered the private booth.
Abigail and Kathleen turned in his direction, gazing at him with a questioning look. He interrupted them.
"Nathan will go to Country F for a week."
Abigail's eyes widened when she heard that.
"What?! He is leaving and will be gone for a week?!!" Abigail hastily stood up and slammed the table using both hands. She was supposed to confront him and ask him about what happened last night. Was he running away from her?
And what did he say? One week?! If Nathan was not around for a week, she would lose seven days from her remaining ninety-one days!
Aiden could only bob his head anxiously. He was surprised when Abigail suddenly slammed the table. He thought she was going to punch him again.
"Where in the Country F?" She asked him again with her angry voice.
Kathleen could only watch Abigail's cute reaction. She was like an angry girlfriend who got pissed off by her boyfriend for not asking her permission and not saying goodbye to her.
"I'm going to Country F three days from now. Do you want to tag along with me?" Kathleen invited Abigail.
"Eh, are you serious? Don't bother Nathan. I think this is an important business trip." Aiden wanted to stop her cousin from her crazy plan.
"Yes! Can I go with you?" Abigail said, determined to follow Nathan.
"Alright! Let's go to Country F together!" Kathleen raised her hand for a high five.
Pak!
