Chapter 654 Her Territory 

Abigail noticed the helplessness in Luna’s eyes. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“What happened between you and Josh?” Abigail asked immediately.

Luna lowered her gaze and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, “I think… being in a relationship is exhausting. It’s completely different from before, and I’m growing weary of it.”

Abigail was taken aback by her words. She sat beside Luna and embraced her, asking, “Is it his fault? Or has he changed?”

“I don’t know. I feel like the more familiar we become, the less it feels like the good old days. It doesn’t feel as great as it used to be…” Luna uttered softly. Lately, she had been arguing frequently with Josh. On one hand, she had too many tasks to handle at the company, yet he wanted her to spend more time with him.

Due to that, she felt overwhelmed and frustrated.

Whenever she finally took time out to have a meal with him, he would be occupied with something else. It felt like it was unavoidable that they were growing apart.

“I’m back now. You should try to work things out with him. Maybe you haven’t experienced the stage of balancing work and relationships yet, so you’re feeling overwhelmed. If work is making you tired, I can hire a manager immediately. What do you think?” Abigail patted Luna’s arm and comforted her softly.

“Abigail, I feel so useless right now. It’s like I have no value anymore.” Panic was evident in Luna’s voice. “Ever since the incident at the company, I’ve been doubting my own abilities. In the end, I feel like I have no value to L.Moon anymore. I shouldn’t have neglected the company for so long when I was with him. Now that I’m managing it, everything feels unfamiliar.”

“If you can’t balance your relationship and work, then choose only one. Talk to Josh about it. He works hard because he wants to buy a house and save money for marriage as well as for future children. What about you? What are you working for?” Abigail asked her.

Luna had lost herself now.

She had never made such a mistake before, and this time, it had caused her great frustration. She began to feel lost. At the same time, her relationship with Josh was also in trouble, which only made her feel even more useless.

“What would you do in my situation?” Luna turned her head to look at her friend.

“I enjoy my work, and I enjoy designing. Even if I’m busy, I will always prioritize my work. Even though Sean is great now and we may get married in the future, I must keep my work to reflect my value. Abigail always had clear goals.

From the moment she decided to get divorced, she knew her choice.

“Alright. I’ll think about it,” Luna uttered.

“I’m about to meet the owner of Charm. You should look for Josh. Take some time to rest and adjust your mindset as well. Don’t overthink,” Abigail comforted warmly. 7 million was not a number they couldn’t afford, but the psychological burden of making such a mistake could casily crush Luna and make her doubt her abilities.

Abigail regretted not calling Luna more often just to check up on her. If she had done that, Luna wouldn’t have suffered so much during this time.

After that, Abigail drove Luna to Pearson Residence and went straight to meet the owner of Charm.

She parked the car in front of a Findellian restaurant, and after getting out of the car, she handed her keys over to the valet.

The owner of Charm was very young. It was said that he had just taken over the family business half a year ago, but within the span of six months, he had revitalized the struggling women’s clothing brand Charm and brought it back to its former glory.

He even reached new heights by collaborating with L.Moon.

Abigail was wearing a white shirt and wide-leg pants. As she walked with grace, she attracted the attention of many men in the restaurant.

“Isn’t that Alana? Where has she been in the past six months? She looks different.”

“Yeah… I heard she still doesn’t have a boyfriend…”

Everyone was gossiping about her eagerly.

They thought that if she didn’t have a boyfriend, they stood a chance.

Daniel was looking down at his phone as he replied to a client’s message. He only looked up when someone sat down opposite him.

Abigail glanced at the handsome and man in front of her and immediately presented a calm smile. “Mr. Sawyer, I am Alana from L.Moon. You can also call me Abigail.” Daniel had been frustrated due to the car accident before the new product launch, so he was all ready to curse out loud, but when he saw Abigail’s innocent face, he couldn’t bring himself to speak.

“Hello, Miss Quinn.” Daniel put down his tablet, trying to keep his voice steady. “What would you like to eat?”

“Anything is fine. I’m not picky,” Abigail replied, propping her chin on her hand with a smile on her face.

Daniel picked up the tablet next to him and ordered two mains before getting to the point. “I discussed with the company about postponing the press conference for a week, but we only have one week. How can you remedy the situation? Initially, once the press conference starts, the purchasing channels will be open. Even if we release a new line of women’s clothing, we won’t have any ready stock. We will suffer a huge loss because of that.”

“Will you still sue L.Moon?” Abigail picked up the glass of water next to her and took a sip.

“If you can’t resolve the matter, I must proceed with the lawsuit.” Daniel slowly detached himself from Abigail’s enchanting aura and regained his rationality

It was the first time he had seen such an enchanting and competent woman. From the moment she sat in front of him, she was like a deadly nightshade flower, dangerous and captivating.

Even Daniel, who had seen countless beautiful women, almost fell for her.
