He said to the driver, “Go to the company.”
After saying that, he called Abbott and told him to go back to the company.
At this moment, Abbott and Emma were on their way to the hospital. Abbott did not believe that he had made her pregnant. So, he forced and dragged her to the hospital for a check-up.
Emma did not want to go but Abbott was too strong. She tried to struggle but she could not escape. She was escorted by him to a taxi. Halfway, Abbott’s phone rang and it was Cormac calling him to go back to the company.
Emma took the advantage to escape from the car when Abbott was answering the call and the driver was waiting for the traffic lights.
She was going to the hospital with her empty belly? Wouldn’t that be exposing herself?
“Emma!” Abbott shouted angrily. Emma ran quickly as she was afraid that Abbott would chase after her again.
Abbott had a headache while looking at the bag which was left on the car seat.
This woman was simply a devil.
The taxi driver asked, “Are you still going?”
Abbott sat back in the taxi and said, “Go to WY Group.”
The taxi driver soon drove and headed towards WY Group.
Abbott paid and got down from the taxi upon arrival. The driver reminded, “Don’t forget anything.”
Abbott looked at the bag Emma had left on the car seat and hesitated for two seconds. He reached out and picked it up. After closing the car door, he headed to the entrance hall. He stopped walking when he saw Boyce’s car enter the car park.
Boyce parked his car and opened the car door. Then, he walked towards Abbott and asked Abbott, “Why are you standing here?”
Abbott said, “I’m waiting for you.”
“Let’s go in together.” Boyce put his hand on Abbott’s shoulder and glanced at the female bag that he was holding. Boyce asked, “Your girlfriend’s bag?”
Abbott looked down and said, “It belongs to someone crazy.”
Boyce laughed gently and did not continue asking.
Abbott asked while walking into the lift, “Why are you here? Is there something wrong?”
Boyce said that Cormac had asked him to come.
Cormac was going to take Loredana abroad and would not be in the country for a while. So, he wanted to ask Boyce to take care of his family. After all, he was a bit worried since there were elders and children at home.
Abbott said, “Coincidentally, it is also Mr. Mendelsohn who asked me to come. Is there something to announce?”
Boyce said, “Not sure about it, perhaps.”
The lift came to a halt at the moment. Both of them walked towards Cormac’s office. Probably because Cormac had informed earlier, the secretary said when she saw both of them coming, “Mr. Mendelsohn is in his office. He said that you can go to find him directly when you come.”
Boyce nodded and said, “Got it.”
Boyce pushed the door when he reached the office. He thought that it was just Cormac, but he did not expect Loredana to be there too. So, he greeted Loredana.
Loredana smiled and nodded, “Please come in.”
Cormac put down the work in his hand and walked over. He let both of them sit down.
Abbott realized that he still had the woman’s bag in his hand, which he had just forgotten to put outside at the doorway. It seemed that he was unable to go out now. He hid the bag behind his back.
Loredana noticed Abbott’s movement. She saw the bag in his hand and said with a smile, “Does it belong to Ms. Bailey?”
Abbott turned pale instantly. How did Loredana know about Emma?
Loredana addressed her as Ms. Bailey, so she obviously knew her.
How did she know?
“Missus…”
“I was on NH Road today and saw you and Ms. Bailey arguing on the roadside. Is there any conflict?”
“No, it is not like that.” Abbott explained hurriedly, “Things aren’t like the way you think. She is the one who pestered me…”
“Why is she pestering you?” Cormac spoke steadily.
Abbott pursed his lips as he found it difficult to explain.
Cormac was slightly impatient as he was exasperated by Abbott’s stammering look. He disliked people who spoke incoherently the most.
“Aren’t you going to say anything?”
Boyce was also surprised that he and Emma had gotten together. Boyce touched him, “Why don’t you tell us, what is going on?”
Abbott gritted his teeth and confessed to Cormac, “She, she tricked me and wanted to make use of me to provoke your couple relationship. When I refused, she threatened me…” “How did she threaten you?” Boyce asked curiously.
In fact, everybody cast a curious look at Abbott and waited for his answer.
Abbott wished that he could find a hole to hide in. It was really embarrassing.
It was so difficult to describe.
Boyce frowned, “Abbott, when do you become so sluggish?”
Abbott glared at Boyce and thought that he could not describe it too if this had happened to him!
“How can we help you out if you don’t say anything? Do you think resigning is the best option?” Cormac pulled at his collar and he looked slightly agitated.
Loredana got up and went to pour him a glass of water. He took it over and have a sip. When he put it on the table, he lifted his eyes and looked at Abbott, “You have been with me for so long. You should know my temper. If you have really decided to leave, I won’t stop you. But if you’re being pestered by Emma just because of me, I hope you will be honest about that.”
It was obvious that Abbott being pestered by Emma until his resignation must have some relationship with Cormac. Declan had just been sentenced to prison, so she must have resentment in her heart. Cormac understood, otherwise she would not have sent those messages to Loredana.
“Do you know that she sent those messages to Loredana?”
Abbott gathered his courage and said, “Yes, I made love with her. She took pictures of me in bed and threatened me. If I didn’t agree with her, she was going to expose the pictures. I definitely wouldn’t betray you, so I had no choice but to leave.”
Poof…
Boyce almost laughed out but he restrained his emotions hurriedly.
He was amused by Abbott’s remark about the pictures in bed.
