Abigail remained stunned momentarily but eventually smiled and replied, “Hehe, what a coincidence… it’s quite a
coincidence.”
Jacob started to sweat on his nose. He stood while she sat and scooped a small piece of cheesecake into her gently
gaping mouth, savoring it slowly.
His heart skipped a beat, and it felt as if he could see the world’s fleeting brilliance all at once. He smiled foolishly,
completely unaware of Gia’s resentful gaze.
“Jacob!”
“Huh?” Jacob snapped out of his thoughts. “Do you… Do you need something?”
Gia paled with anger. She was about to throw a tantrum but then caught Jackie’s warning gaze. She shrank back

The umbrella was large enough to accommodate both Abigail and Jacob. By holding it for them, Gia seemed to
have become their servant!
Jackie chuckled to himself on the side before straightening his posture and clearing his throat with a snort.
Jackie recalled something. “Oh, by the way, Abigail, Ms. Jenner called you just now, but you were busy with a scene,
so I answered it… She mentioned an important event the day after tomorrow and hopes you can attend.”
“Mm.” Abigail nodded. “As the ambassador for the Thompson Group, I should follow her arrangements. Please
check my schedule. If there are any conflicting events, prioritize the Thompson Group event.”
“Don’t worry!” Jackie’s eyes darted around before he gave Abigail a look. “Uh… Do you need an assistant that
day?”
Abigail didn’t catch on at first. However, she knew Jackie well. Although he had a lot to say, he wasn’t one to nag
about trivial matters like bringing along an assistant.
Abigail paused for a moment and noticed Jackie’s mischievous smile. She instantly understood… She vaguely
recalled Lina mentioning it before—Sam, the chief designer for the film studio project, had arrived in Centrolis a
few days ago. The event in two days was for Sam to visit the construction site.
With that in mind, Abigail smiled and turned to Gia. “Come with me!”
Gia froze.
“I just remembered.” Abigail explained, “Jackie has a meeting regarding a contract of mine that day, and my other
assistant has other matters to attend to. It’s best if you come with me!”
Gia had never imagined such a high-profile opportunity would come her way. Since joining Abigail’s team, she had

truly frustrated.

Whenever she complained to Jacob, he would respond dismissively with “work is never easy” and couldn’t be
bothered to offer any comforting words. She even began to doubt if this was the same Adonis she had worked so
hard to win over in the past.
Gia’s eyes lit up as she realized she had to seize this opportunity and connect with more members of the upper-
class society in Centrolis. If she could meet someone even better, she wouldn’t have to constantly grovel to Jacob!
Abigail raised her voice. “Ms. Chapman, did you hear what I said?”
Gia snapped back to attention and smiled brightly. “Yes, I heard, I heard you!”
“Mm, the Thompson Group event is quite important, so don’t be late!” Abigail warned.
“What?” Gia was surprised. “Ms. Fox… Do you need me to pick you up?”
“I’ll send you the address. Just go on your own,” Abigail said with an understanding smile. “Mr. Sam will also be
attending, so you can imagine the importance of this event.”
“Yes, of course!”
