The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 531 They Like Hiding Things From Me, Right?

Upon arriving at Graham International, Abigail immediately exited the car, entered the office building. and called

Xavien.

As soon as the receptionist saw Abigail, she let out a squeal and discreetly took out her phone to snap a photo.

‘Wow! Alana is here at our company! She looks even more stunning in person than on-screen. Oh! Our crush! Her

outfit is amazing. I really want to ask for an autograph and take a photo with her!’

Her Instagram post featuring Abigail’s photo quickly ignited envy and jealousy among a group of fans. ‘Where do

you work? Is your company hiring? Can I still join?”

‘Oh my God! Alana is so tall! Let me shower you with kisses, our crush!”

‘I’m so jealous, I don’t feel like myself anymore!”

While Abigail’s fans continued to leave comments, the receptionist struck up a conversation with her.

“I’m looking for Mr. Summer. I have an appointment with him,” Abigail softly informed, gazing at the blushing young

lady.

“Oh! Of course, just sign here. Then, you can take the elevator upstairs. Mr. Summer usually works on the fifth

floor,” the receptionist said, inwardly admiring Abigail. Alana’s voice is so melodious. She looks even prettier up

close and she smells amazing.

What should I do? I really wanted to ask her for an autograph and take a photo with her!

After signing her name, Abigail turned around and left, leaving a lingering fragrance behind. The receptionist sat

down with a disappointed expression, watching Abigail enter the elevator and sighing at how good she smelled.

How can I get her autograph and a photo with her? Damn it! I should have mustered up the courage!

But what if Alana doesn’t like taking photos with fans or signing autographs?

Abigail arrived at the office and while waiting for Xavien, a recently employed assistant eagerly approached her.

“Ms. Alana… Oh, sorry. Ms. Quinn, would you like something to drink?” the assistant asked, biting his lip and looking

sheepish.

“A cup of tea would be perfect,” Abigail replied.

If it had been during the day, she would have chosen a cup of instant coffee.

“Sure!” The assistant hurried to the pantry. After contemplating which tea to choose, he finally made. Abigail a cup

of jasmine tea.

There were even a few jasmine flower petals floating on top of the tea. Abigail could tell that the assistant had put

some thought into it.

“Thank you.” She flashed him a smile, making him ecstatic. He then placed a few bags of snacks on the coffee

table before reluctantly saying, “Just let me know if you need anything. Mr. Summer will finish his

1/3

meeting soon.”

“Okay,” Abigail replied with a kind and pleasant demeanor.

Shortly after, Xavien entered with a stack of documents.

Abigail set down her teacup, stood up, and remarked, “You don’t look well.”

Upon hearing that, Xavien inwardly complained. How can I look well when I was asked to come to the company and

handle all these matters right after getting out of bed?

Fortunately, I get to visit the Graham Estate and enjoy the nutritious food that Old Mrs. Quinn makes every day.

Thanks to that, I have the strength to endure the never-ending daily tasks. Ordinary people would have fainted

from exhaustion.

“Are you here to ask me about Mr. Graham’s accident? Xavien put down the documents and asked solemnly.

“Yes. What exactly happened?” Abigail was determined to learn the details of the entire incident.

Xavien sat down and fell into a long silence before saying with slight uncertainty, “Because this matter is quite

complicated, I’m not sure what Mr. Graham has in mind.”

Upon hearing that, Abigail surmised that it was related to the fraud case. Letting out a sigh, she added, “Forget it

since you don’t want to talk about it. Sean woke up once today, so you won’t have to work so hard in the future.”

“It’s what I should do. Furthermore, this is precisely what Mr. Graham trained us for-to be able to help him in critical

moments,” Xavien humbly replied.

“I wonder if this matter has anything to do with Vincent,” Abigail mused, resting her chin on her hand. After all,

Vincent had intended to traffic Sean to foreign countries before.

In truth, Xavien wasn’t sure either. He still couldn’t determine whether Luna’s kidnapping was connected, to Kelly or

Vincent.

“Many things will become clear once Mr. Graham wakes up, Xavien said.

Abigail nodded. She leaned against the couch, took a sip of tea, and warmly reminded, “Remember to get some

rest. I’ll take my leave now.”

Since everything was fine with Sean, Abigail planned to return to Capitalis after having a meal at the Graham

Estate.

“Ms. Quinn, how long will you stay this time?” Xavien stood up after her and asked somewhat anxiously.

He hoped that Abigail could stay for a while, especially after hearing that Sean had woken up today. Considering

how Mr. Graham immediately woke up after seeing her, I must say-Ms. Quinn is still very helpful in Mr. Graham’s

recovery.

“I’ll leave after dinner. I still have many things to do in Capitalis,” Abigail replied. Either way, since Grandma hid the

truth from me even when she knew something happened to Sean, it just shows that it’s not that important whether

I stay or not.

“Okay…” Xavien sounded slightly disappointed, his tone lifeless.

2/3

Abigail left after finishing her tea.

Upon returning to the Graham Estate for dinner, she refused to stay regardless of what Analise said.

“She’s definitely upset.” Analise stood by the door and spoke to Colby and Cameron, who were beside her.

“Ms. Quinn is upset that we hid this matter from her. She’s upset that everyone knows about this matter except

her, Cameron explained.

Having worked with Sean for a long time, he had extensive experience in understanding someone’s

emotions.

A look of realization dawned on Colby’s face as he exclaimed, “Ah, I understand now… So, she’s upset because of

this. Here I am, still under the impression that she refused to stay because my wife is too irritating.”

His words left Analise and Cameron speechless.

While aboard the plane back to Capitalis, Abigail pondered over Sean’s words when he had just woken up. Was he

intending to continue sleeping if I never discovered the truth and never paid him a visit?

What kind of twisted mindset is this? Everyone around me conceals it when something happens to him. Yet, they

expect me to uncover these secrets and find him. Do they truly see me as the protagonist in a melodramatic tale,

who must overcome obstacles before finally reuniting with the hero in a tearful embrace? And voila! Everyone

applauds for the perfect ending! Is that the idea?
