100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 189

Day Twenty One…

~~*****~~

Abigail felt a little bit awkward as Nathan was acting like a real gentleman. He grabbed the chair for her and put some food on her plate. He was very attentive to her, letting her enjoy the dinner.

Nathan didn’t eat much. He just watched Abigail intently while sipping his champagne. Abigail could feel his probing eyes, following her every movement. She couldn’t help but feel conscious of Nathan’s penetrating gaze and strange behavior.

‘Is this calm before the storm? Nathan should be mad at me for taking advantage of him a while ago as I gave him a peck on his lips. But surprisingly, Nathan is acting oddly tonight,’ Abigail shook her head as she slowly cut the steak on her plate.

“Who is your potential business partner whom you wanna meet here?” Abigail decided to engage in a conversation with him to ease up the awkward atmosphere.

“Mr. Hiroshi. He came from Country J. He is a foreigner but he stayed in Country M for three decades so he can speak our language.”

Abigail could only nod her head. She thought Nathan was trying to make a deal for SYP Twilight Corp. Perhaps, the VIP there could be an investor.

But Abigail noticed something. She felt like the guards scattered around the hotel seemed like a mob from the underground world. They gave off a dangerous vibe.

Phantomflake had been working in the underground world so she could sense that something was off. They were not ordinary businessmen.

“I’m not sure if he came here personally, or he just sent a representative,” Nathan added.

“Hmm. Okay. How can I help you then?” Abigail asked him expectantly. She appreciated Nathan’s effort in preparing this dinner date with her so she would try her best to help him.

“Just act as my woman. Madam Priyanshi thought I booked this book for us, making her believe that we are a couple. I need to have a chance encounter with Mr. Hiroshi. I don’t want him to think that I set this up and that I am desperate to meet him.”

Abigail smiled. She could understand Nathan’s motive. As they continued to talk, she learned that Mr. Hiroshi was hard to please.

“Can you show me his picture?” Abigail asked. When it came to this kind of mission, Phantomflake could make it happen. A chance encounter.

Nathan just watched her, conflicted. He didn’t want her to do something that might put her life in danger. It was best for her to just stay in the room and relax. He would be the one to make a move.

“C’mon, Nate. Just show me his picture. I’m not going to do something that will ruin your plan. Besides, you asked me to be here. Might as well help you with your plan.” Abigail volunteered, urging Nathan to give her Mr. Hiroshi’s picture.

Nathan sighed before picking up his phone. He searched for the old picture of Mr. Hiroshi. The photo was taken ten years ago. He didn’t have his current photo.

Abigail was rendered speechless as soon as she saw the photo. Mr. Hiroshi looked familiar to her. But what attracted her the most was his emerald eyes. She saw something in his eyes… the feeling of regret and sadness.

That photo was secretly taken somewhere. It looked like a cemetery. And he was looking at someone’s grave.

“Is this the only photo you have?” Abigail asked him. Mr. Hiroshi didn’t attend social gatherings so the public didn’t have his pictures.

He often stayed in Sawada Clan’s headquarters. If there was negotiation, he allowed his right-hand man to deal with them. He was similar to Nathan. Both of them had a mysterious side.

“He looks gorgeous for his age. How old is he? The mid-30s or 40s?” Abigail asked Nathan excitedly. She didn’t know why she became enthusiastic to see this guy.

On the other hand, Nathan crumpled his face and lifted his eyebrow when Abigail praised Mr. Hiroshi’s good looks.

“He is too old for you. That picture was taken ten years ago. You might even see his white hair now.”

Abigail frowned at Nathan’s remarks. What with the change of his tone? Was he upset again?

“Hey, I am just asking about his age. Why are you getting mad?” Abigail questioned him. She gazed up, meeting Nathan’s eyes. Then her lips curled up in a mischievous smile. “Ahem… Don’t tell me you are jealous?!” Abigail giggled as she teased him.

“Of Course Not! Don’t be conceited, Abi.” Nathan put his wine glass down on the table.

Abigail let out another soft giggle. “Relax! I’m just kidding. Why are you so defensive?!”

Nathan just sliced a piece of cake and brought it to Abigail’s mouth to make her stop talking. Abigail just glared at Nathan as she didn’t expect him to feed her a cake.

When she was done chewing it, she complained, “Do you want to choke me with food?”

“No. I just want to seal your mouth with food,” Nathan stated matter-of-factly.

Abigail: “…”

‘I want to punch this guy.’

“Fine. What are we going to do after this?” Abigail changed the topic. She needed to be more patient with Nathan.

“You stay here… and rest. I will check if Mr. Hiroshi is also here.”

Abigail pouted her lips. She thought Nathan would ask her to accompany him outside and searched for Mr. Hiroshi together. But Nathan told her to stay in their room.

“I will come with you. I will get bored if I stay here alone. I promise I will not get in your way. I will behave,” Abigail pleaded, trying to convince Nathan using her charm.

But Nathan didn’t want her to get involved with Sawada Clan. “You can accompany me tomorrow. But not now. I’ll be back soon. You can play video games while I’m not around.” Nathan specifically requested Madam Priya to put computers inside the VIP suite. He also planned to play with her later just to kill time.

“Playing video games alone is not fun,” Abigail lamented, putting on a pitiful face.

Nathan could only sigh helplessly. Abigail had a point. He stopped playing because he lost his playing buddy. He would only play from time to time if Ethan challenged him.

“I’ll join you later… So while I’m not around. Practice first in order to win against me,” Nathan said. He sounded like he was boasting about his skill.

Abigail fired up! She raised her fists in front of Nathan. “Okay! Let’s duel later! If I win, you will grant my wish. If I lose… I’ll grant your wish!”

Nathan’s lips stretched up and his eyes gleamed. For some unknown reason, he felt excited about this duel. It’s been so long since the last time he battled with a skilled player. He had already seen how Abigail played..and one of the reasons why he got excited was because Abigail’s style of playing was similar to Monica’s.

“Ok. It’s a deal. Just wait for me.” Nathan finished his champagne and stood up.

Abigail just nodded her head. She decided to unpack their clothes as Nathan went out just to roam around the 14th floor.

As Abigail waited for Nathan, she just took a quick shower. Once Nathan was back, she was all set to fight him in a one-on-one battle in a computer game.
