100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Twenty One…

~~*****~~

Abigail was watching one of Abigail’s shows on her phone when she suddenly heard Nathan’s voice. She didn’t notice his presence right away since she was so focused on the video.

“Abi, come with me.” Nathan used his commanding tone as he spoke to her.

Abigail: “???”

‘Will he talk to me about that simple peck I gave him on his lips?’ Abigail blinked her eyes, trying to hide her embarrassment.

“Why?” Abigail asked, standing up as she kept her phone inside her pocket. “Where are we going?”

“Pack your clothes and come back here. I will just talk to someone,” Nathan only said to her, without explaining the details to Abigail.

Abigail just glanced at him, feeling confused. But seeing his serious expression, Abigail suddenly became uneasy.

‘Damn! Is he kicking me out of the mansion because of what I did?’ Abigail mused to herself.

‘Should I call Little Ethan for help?’ Abigail glanced up where Ethan’s room was located. The young boy was in his playroom. She was contemplating whether she should obey Nathan or not. She didn’t want to leave the mansion just yet.

Meanwhile, Nathan picked up his phone and excused himself. He finally contacted Madam Priyanshi Patel.

After a few rings, Madam Priya answered the phone. Nathan greeted her politely.

“CEO Sparks, I’m glad to hear from you. Why did you call me at this hour?” Madam Priya sounded surprised but at the same time, happy to hear Nathan. She didn’t expect that this mighty CEO would call her.

“Chairwoman, did I disturb you? Honestly, I have a favor to ask you,” Nathan directly said, not beating around the bush.

“It’s fine. I’m not busy. It’s my pleasure to be of help. What kind of favor is this, CEO Sparks?” Madam Priya asked him, intrigued. This was the first time Nathan Sparks tried to ask someone for a favor. It looked like it was something very important.

“Can I book a suite tonight in your hotel? Preferably, on the 14th floor? I want to surprise someone,” Nathan requested.

“Oh!” Madam Priya gasped in surprise. She didn’t expect that Nathan would ask her such a request. She thought it would be business-related.

After a while, Madam Priya’s soft giggle erupted from the other line. And she began teasing Nathan. “I didn’t expect that you have a romantic side too. I guess… you are bringing the same lady who came with you during the Masquerade Ball?”

Nathan was caught off guard by her words. Who would have thought that Madam Priya would still remember Abigail even though it was just a short encounter between them? And how did she know that it was Abigail whom he would be bringing tonight? A woman’s instinct was truly incredible!

“What preparations do you need? I can instruct my staff to fix everything tonight. Though we have VIP clients on that floor, you have nothing to worry about as I will arrange this for you.” Madam Priya reassured him.

“Does the 14th floor have significant meaning for both of you?” she added, teasing Nathan.

Nathan didn’t know how he would respond. Madam Priya already made some assumptions but he couldn’t correct them as he needed this opportunity to meet the Sawada Clan. Besides, he was also thinking of using Abigail as an alibi for staying in that hotel room tonight.

“Yes… just prepare a bouquet of flowers, dinner courses, and champagne…” Nathan replied awkwardly.

“Ok. CEO Sparks! Consider it done,” Madam Priya cheerfully said.

“Thank you, Chairwoman Patel. I will make sure to return this favor one day. Don’t hesitate to ask me.” Nathan promised.

Madam Priya could only smile. If there was something she needed… that was to find her missing niece. She wondered if Nathan would be able to help her with this. She already used the resources of both Yan and Patel Family but until now, she failed to find her missing niece over and over again.

“I will keep this in mind, CEO Sparks. I will tell you once I have a favor to ask.” Madam Priya was still thinking whether she would ask Nathan’s help in finding her missing niece.

“Ok. Chairwoman. Thanks for your time.” Nathan was about to end the call when Madam Priya spoke once more.

“Just proceed to our hotel tonight and my staff will escort you to your assigned VIP suite.”

When the call ended, Nathan decided to go upstairs. Abigail was taking her time. He was in a hurry but Abigail hadn’t come down yet.

When he entered her room, no one was there. Nathan’s brows were drawn together as he murmured, “Where did she go?”

“Abi?” He tried calling him but no one was responding. He searched for her in the bathroom and the balcony of the second floor but Abigail was not around.

It did not take long before Nathan figured out that Abigail might have dropped by Ethan’s room. He also needed to inform his son that Abigail and he would be staying out tonight.

Nathan didn’t waste time and headed to Ethan’s playroom. And he was right. Abigail was there together with his son, Ethan.

“What are you doing here?” Nathan asked Abigail. He asked her to pack her clothes but he didn’t see her bag.

“Miss Abi is not going anywhere. Are you kicking her out, Dad?” Ethan questioned his father with an angry tone. He stepped forward, shielding Abigail from his father. Little Ethan looked like a small version of a bodyguard who wanted to protect Abigail from harm.

Nathan sighed deeply and raised his eyebrow when he shifted his gaze from Ethan to Abigail. ‘What lies did she feed to my son?’

“No. I’m not kicking her out.” Nathan replied.

“Then why did you ask her to pack her clothes?” Ethan continued his interrogation with his father. His charming eyes were looking daggers at Nathan.

Nathan darted his gaze back and forth between Ethan and Abigail while sighing helplessly.

He massaged his temples and explained, “I’m bringing her with me. We will be staying in a hotel so I asked her to pack some clothes for her to use tonight.”

Abigail: “…”

‘Hotel? But why? What is he up to this time?’
