The Spare Wife (Abigail Quinn and Sean Graham)
Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Incompatible Personalities.

Sean looked at Abigail with a faint smile on his lips.

She felt uneasy under his scrutiny and furrowed her brow. "Do you need anything else?"

"Even if you don't say anything. I'll still go after her. His eyes remained calm, but an unmistakable air of determination surrounded him.

"Ronaldo is her cousin. If you go after her, I might as well stop the deal with him. I'll have to bring his pearls to him and plead for clemency," she huffed. After a brief moment of contemplation, he asked, "Is Anthony in a relationship with her?"

Abigail had to admit that Sean had a shrewd mind. "I don't know if they're in a relationship. What does it have to do with me?" she replied nonchalantly.

"While

you think it doesn't concern you, she views you as a threat. How does Anthony feel about. you?" he asked calmly. It was an unexpected turn of events for him to replace himself discussing another man's feelings for her in such a calm manner.

"I don't think we're close enough for us to discuss this," she declared, placing her pen down and casting an unpleasant glance in his direction.

"Your 'like' on that fanfiction about us on Twitter, without any clarification, left me pondering for four days." Sean sounded rather aggrieved. "After all, it was quite... steamy, and we were once married. I couldn't help but think about it."

"Don't keep bringing up the past! You didn't need to come here to tell me about your thoughts. Do you think I have that much free time? Besides, there's no need to clarify such matters. Even when celebrities mistakenly like something, they don't make official statements. Let the fans think what they want; it's their enjoyment," Abigail explained, restraining her frustration.

In fact, not clarifying was the best course of action. Clarifications often implied guilt.

"That means we'd be shipped as a couple. You don't mind that?" His mood lifted slightly. He enjoyed seeing fanfiction about them trending on Twitter daily.

"You know well that in such situations, it's best to leave the fans to their imagination. Making official clarifications might seem like making mountains out of molehills."

She longed to scream from the mountaintops that she had nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, even the most renowned celebrities turned a blind eye to their fans' fantasies. about their romantic relationships with other people.

He nodded, acknowledging her point. "You're right.

Taking a deep breath, she composed herself. "Mr. Graham, could you please return to your work now? I'm really quite busy."

"Of course," he replied, standing up.

Just as Sean took a couple of steps, Abigail stopped him. "Please, don't go after Lacey. Both Mr. Booker and I are part of the same industry, and we often cross paths. Besides, she's Ronaldo's cousin." He turned back to look at her. "You're quite protective of Anthony, but he might not appreciate your efforts."

"We're both businesspeople. When it comes to business, emotions don't have a place," she stated coolly.

With her putting it that way, he had nothing more to worry about. He was only concerned that she would feel uncomfortable. After all, she had a good relationship with Anthony. Still, for the sake of her business she had to endure such grievances.

"Don't come to my office for no reason in the future. I don't care about fans pairing us up, and it'll be even more annoying if someone takes pictures of you deliberately coming here," Abigail reminded as Sean was about to leave.

His jovial mood soured again, and he left without saying a word.

She was about to resume her work when a call came from Anthony. She stared at her phone for a while before finally answering. "Is there something you need, Mr. Booker?" Her voice was as crisp as ever, devoid of any personal emotions.

"Lacey went over to your office, right? You don't have to care about what she said. She's straightforward and often speaks without thinking. I apologize on her behalf," he expressed

remorse.

She pursed her lips before chuckling and said, "I understand how a young woman can feel insecure at the beginning of a relationship, Mr. Booker. You just need to clarify things with her. There's no need for you to call and explain. I wouldn't want her to jump to conclusions again, wouldn't you agree?"

Anthony remained silent.

Just as Abigail was about to end the call, Anthony said gloomily, "I chose her because the company isn't doing well. There are many things I can't openly share with you, but you've always been an important junior of mine."

"Mr. Booker, that's in the past. I understand the challenges of running a business. You have your difficulties and your decisions. In any case, I hope your company continues to thrive. I have a lot of designs to work on, so I won't linger for idle chat Her voice sounded light and pleasant, but her face remained expressionless.

In reality, Anthony's company was doing quite well, with impressive annual profits. His claim about the company's performance was just an excuse to climb the social ladder. Nevertheless, Abigail respected his choice. His pursuit of fame and success was his decision, just as it was her choice to transition from being friends to acquaintances with him.
