100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty One…

~~*****~~

Nathan left the mansion right away after Abigail fled. He was the one who felt embarrassed to face her because of that sudden peck on his lips.

But deep inside, he was scolding himself for feeling something he was not supposed to feel– the satisfaction of being kissed by Abigail herself. He was no longer upset by Aiden’s presence. Besides, Abigail already made it clear that she was interested in him, not Aiden nor Stephen.

However, he looked so mad when he bumped into Chantha because he was annoyed with himself. He was not supposed to feel this way towards a woman, aside from Monica. But Abigail was affecting his feelings in some ways.

‘OMG! The Supreme Leader is pissed off. He looks like he is about to kill someone. Will Abigail be alright?’ Chantha gasped inwardly. She witnessed the scene where Abigail gave Nathan a peck on his lips. She knew how Nathan hated women who were trying to flirt with him.

“Our Supreme Leader was enraged. I have to inform my comrades about it. Boss Nate will go to our headquarters today.” Chantha mumbled, picking up her phone that was dropped on the floor when she got shocked a while ago.

Chantha began typing her warning message for her comrades who were in the headquarters today. Among them was her twin sister, Violet.

” Group Chat Room”

[ Chantha: Red Alert Everyone! If the Supreme Leader visits our headquarters today, be careful not to annoy him further. He is not in a good mood! ]

[ Violet: What happened? Who made him angry? ]

[ Chantha: Abigail Scarlett! She kissed our Supreme Leader on his lips! ]

Chantha could no longer hold her excitement. She was so eager to tell this piece of shocking news to her comrades.

[ Violet: *Surprise Emoticon* Holy Crap?! Did she really do that? ]

The guys who were just lurking on the group chat and reading the exchanges of messages between Chantha and Violet a while ago suddenly became active upon reading her last message.

[ Axel: What?! Is that true?! Are you not pranking us? ]

Axel was still doubtful when it came to Chantha’s messages. He didn’t know if she was telling the truth or not.

[ Chantha: Just shut up, old man! ]

Chantha called Axel an old man to provoke and annoy him. She just wanted to tease him while picking a fight with him. How dare he not believe her words? She wouldn’t lie to them when it came to their Supreme Leader!

[ Spider: How did our Boss react? Did he argue and fight with her? Did he reject her harshly? ]

[ Chantha: Nothing! He did nothing as Abigail fled right away, escaping from our Supreme Leader’s wrath. When he left the mansion, the Supreme Leader had a dark expression on his face, surrounded by a chilly aura. ]

Even Joker, who was currently on the field, finally saw the messages and he joined the conversation.

[ Joker: Did you also take a picture of them kissing? Can you send it here? ]

Chantha lightly tapped her forehead. She wasn’t able to take a photo as she was flabbergasted upon witnessing the scene.

[ Chantha: I was so shocked that I dropped my phone. I froze in my spot just watching them secretly. ]

[ Joker: Hahaha! Good luck, guys! I’m glad I’m on the field, otherwise, I will witness the impending disaster in our headquarters. ]

[ Axel: I’m disaster free because I am still in Country F. I will be arriving there at night. ]

[ Spider: *Anxious Emoticon* Gosh! Why am I here today? What bad timing?! Does it mean I will be facing his beast mode today? ]

[ Violet: Good Luck to us! Maybe we should stay away from his office once he gets here! ]

Meanwhile, Abigail was searching for Aiden who was supposed to get the first aid kit. Who would have thought that Mr. Playboy already forgot his things to do?

Abigail saw him lurking around the kitchen! He finally found Cherry and he was there, watching her as she baked some cookies.

Abigail knitted her eyebrows into a frown. She wondered if Aiden was trying to pursue Black Rose. She knew Aiden’s reputation when it came to women so as much as possible, she didn’t want Aiden to pester Black Rose.

Marching inside the kitchen, Abigail grabbed Aiden by his collar and dragged him out of the kitchen. Cherry heaved a sigh of relief when Abigail took away Aiden. His presence was making her uncomfortable. She didn’t want him to watch her as she couldn’t concentrate on what she was doing.

“Abi! Abi! Let go of my collar or else my shirt will be ruined. Why are you dragging me once more?” Aiden lamented. He was disappointed and upset since he was not yet done making his moves on Cherry.

“Where’s the first aid kit, Engr. Wu?” Abigail asked him, raising her eyebrow and putting her hands on the sides of her waist.

Aiden was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he had forgotten to deliver the first aid kit since he saw Cherry in the kitchen. Instead of bringing the first aid kit to the garden, Aiden ended up joining Cherry as she baked cookies.

“Oh, Sorry! I forgot…” Aiden smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. “Let’s go back to Nathan!” Aiden pulled her as he showed her the first aid kit.

Abigail just rolled her eyes skyward. Nathan didn’t need the first aid kit anymore. When the two reached the garden, Nathan was no longer there.

“Eh? Where is Nathan?” Aiden asked Abigail, puzzled.

Abigail’s eyes scanned the area and didn’t see any signs of Nathan. It only meant he already left.

“I think… he already left… going back to his office,” Abigail just shrugged her shoulders, but her cheeks turned red as she recalled another crazy thing she did to Nathan. Deep inside, she felt relieved since Nathan left and didn’t get the chance to scold her for kissing him.

“Huh? You disturbed me with my moment with Cherry even though Nathan was not around.” Aiden lamented, pouting his lips

Abigail gave Aiden a sharp deathly glare. “Are you going to flirt with our Chef? I’m gonna beat you if you dare pester her!”

Abigail just wanted to protect Black Rose from potential threats. Aiden might be helping her right now since she was Abigail, but she couldn’t guarantee if this guy had a real and good intention towards Cherry.

‘Aiden is a playboy! He will just toy with Black Rose’s feelings. I will never let him do that!’ Abigail’s gaze sent chills down Aiden’s spine.

“Hey! Hey! Don’t get me wrong! I just want to get to know her more. I have no ill motives towards her!” Aiden immediately defended himself. He didn’t know why but he felt like he was being interrogated by Cherry’s parents. Abigail sounded very protective of Cherry.

Abigail glanced at Aiden, in doubt.

“Promise! I just want to learn how to bake!” Aiden insisted. He was afraid of both Cherry and Abigail. He wouldn’t want to offend those two fierce women.

“Okay! Just learn! No monkey business! If you do, I will not hesitate to beat you up!” Abigail reminded him and at the same time, threatened him.

“Yes, Ma’am!” Aiden promptly responded.

Abigail moved her head, dismissing him and allowing him to see Cherry. She just decided to go upstairs and do some research about the people she would encounter during the Star Gala.

She had to prepare for it as she would show up as Abigail Scarlett, the new rising actress. She had to adapt and learn how Abigail acted in the past.

Abigail began watching the real Abigail’s TV shows, dramas, and her other projects in the entertainment industry such as product ambassador, model, and more. She kept her mind busy otherwise, she would keep on thinking about Nathan and the kiss!

[ Syphiruz Mafia Main Headquarters: 5:00 PM ]

Violet and Spider were hesitating to enter Nathan’s office. Just like what they had expected, Nathan dropped by the headquarters at around 4:00 pm. For the past one hour, the two tried to avoid going to his office.

However, a very important report from their spy. They had to pass it to Nathan as soon as possible.

Violet and Spider kept pacing back and forth in front of Nathan’s office but they didn’t knock. They were still pointing their fingers at each other about who would enter the room and report it to Nathan.

“You go now! You are the head of our Branch!” Spider gently pushed her in front for her to knock.

“You are immune to his grumpy and angry mood. You should be the one to report this!” Violet retorted.

“Hmm. But the Supreme Leader never gets mad at you. Why don’t you talk to him instead? He might control his rage if you are the one facing him.” Spider insisted.

“No way! We are going to report it together!” Violet finally knocked while grabbing Spider.

“Come in,” Nathan simply replied.

With their anxious expressions, Violet and Spider entered Nathan’s room. But to their surprise, his mood was very different from what they heard from Chantha.

Violet and Spider exchanged glances with one another. Both of them were thinking about the same thing.

‘Eh? The Supreme Leader is in a calm mood! He doesn’t look mad at all! Oh! He is smiling too!’

The two saw that Nathan had a faint smile on his face as he traced his lips using his forefinger. Furthermore, he looked very preoccupied by something as his mind was wandering off somewhere.
