100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Seven…

~~*****~~

Even Chantha didn’t expect that Nathan would say yes. She was just kidding when she invited him because she knew he would send Axel again. This was for Nathan’s protection. Lots of opposing factions wanted to find out his real identity and would like to assassinate him.

She was just teasing him. Who would have imagined that Nathan would agree to join them? Was it because the Red Dragon Mafia was involved here?

“Boss, are you sure about this?” Axel asked. There was a hint of objection in his voice.

“Yes. I’m attending this Masquerade Ball.” Nathan said nonchalantly.

“Whoa! So you will be my date, not Axel?” Chantha asked him expectantly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Nathan waved his forefinger from left to right. “No. I’m going to bring my own date,” Nathan said meaningfully.

Violet, Chantha, Joker, Spider, and Axel were all speechless. They wondered who would be the lucky person Nathan would bring with him.

“Are you going to invite Engr. Wu or Dr. Zhao?” Spider asked his Supreme Leader. When he said ‘Date’, those two men were the only people who came to mind.

Violet and Joker let out a soft chuckle, understanding what Spider meant by saying that. For Nathan, the word ‘date’ meant being accompanied by his best friends or hanging out with them. Axel also glanced at Nathan, smiling sheepishly while Chantha’s face crumpled in disappointment.

Nathan raised his eyebrow, looking daggers at his subordinates. What do they think of him?

“I will bring someone, not them. Now, let’s proceed to our game plan,” Nathan decided to change the topic.

Violet and Chantha exchanged glances with one another, speculating who was the person their Supreme Leader was referring to.

Violet leaned on her twin sister and whispered, “Do you think it’s Dr. Veronica?”

Chantha gasped when Veronica’s name was mentioned. There was a big possibility that Nathan would bring Veronica instead.

“OMG! So Dr. Veronica defeated me.” Chantha pouted while Violet tapped her shoulder. Nathan began telling them the game plan.

Axel would come with Violet and Chantha as he would pretend to be the Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia. Fortunately, this event was a Masquerade Ball. Everyone would be wearing masks. Spider and three elite bodyguards would be escorting them to the venue.

Nathan, on the other hand, would also attend the party but he was thinking of bringing Abigail with him. He finally found a perfect alibi to accept Stephen’s and Aiden’s proposition. Abigail wanted to date him, then he would use this opportunity to help his friends in fulfilling the deal between Abigail and his two best friends. This would count as a date, right?

This would also stop Stephen from bothering Abigail. He wondered why Stephen kept on insisting on dating her. What did he see in her?

‘Abigail Scarlett… let’s see what your motive is for doing this.’ Nathan thought, tapping his fingers on the surface of the table.

Meanwhile, at Sparks Mansion, Abigail continued bonding with Ethan’s robotic friends. She requested Powy to do some research for her and gather information. She had to find out who tried to kill her.

“Powy, can you gather information for me about Mr. Jun Shen, the former CEO of Shen Tian Company? His background information as well as his routine… any relevant information about him.”

“Sure. Miss Abi, just give me a minute. I will run my program to do some research about this man.” Powy became silent for a moment. He was concentrating on sorting out important information about Jun Shen.

He was one of the suspects who had the motive to kill her. She ruined his CEO’s life and humiliated him to the public. His reputation had been destroyed because of her.

After five minutes, Powy was able to gather information about Jun Shen, including his current address and whereabouts. Once she was free, she would try to investigate whether this man had something to do with her assassination attempt.

Powy also printed the information gathered, giving them to Abigail. She thanked Powy for this great help.

“Is there anything you wanna know more?” Powy asked her. The robot was in a good mood as he had done his part of serving Abigail according to Ethan’s order. He could report this to Ethan later.

“Can you also gather some information about my personal assistant and my manager?” Abigail had no recollection of them. The memories of the original owner of this body were not stored in her mind. She needed to know if those people close to Abigail could be trusted. What if they had something to do with her assassination attempt? Did someone betray her from her team?

“Got it, Miss Abi.”

Powy ran another research. After a few minutes, powy presented the pieces of information about her personal assistant and manager.

Her personal assistant was Santra, 23 years old and her manager was Ana Aulestia, 28 years old. The two were living in the same condo unit with her. They were like sisters to her. After watching their statements about her alleged suicide, she could tell that the two women were shocked and shaken by the incident.

They didn’t believe that she would commit suicide. The management of Star Corp Entertainment warned the two ladies not to disclose anything to the media. The reporters had to talk to the PR Team directly.

Abigail frowned as she felt something was off with Star Corp Entertainment. Are they hiding something? Why are they blocking the news about her body going missing? She didn’t read any news about that. She escaped the hospital seven days ago so by now, the management already found out that she was gone.

“Powy, can you provide me information about  the CEO of Star Corp Entertainment?”

Powy was about to do some research again when an alarm coming from GingerAllieAnne resounded in the playroom.

“What is happening?” Abigail asked the hologram.

“Red Alert! Someone is trying to hack one of Master Nathan’s servers. I have to go and stop her.” GingerAllieAnne said before disappearing.

‘A Hacker?’
