Chapter 314 Cameron Listens to You

Luna had been furious, but after hearing that, she deflated like a balloon.

“Why do you think that Lacey woman was so hostile toward you?” Luna held Abigail’s hand and asked

with a frown.

Abigail’s brows creased as she thought about it. Moments later, she commented, “It probably has

something to do with Anthony. He was all dressed up. Doesn’t that signify they’re on a date?”

Luna rolled her eyes. “I’m speechless.”

She finally understood the situation. If Anthony had been on a date with Lacey, the latter would have

been hostile toward Abigail because of how well Anthony treated her.

While they were studying, Anthony took very good care of Abigail. All their classmates said he liked

her. Lacey wouldn’t have had to dig very deep to find out about that.

Meanwhile, Abigail paid no mind to this.

The next day, soon after Abigail came into the office, her assistant came to say there was a visitor.

As soon as Abigail’s assistant finished speaking, the door to the office flew open.

“Miss, you can’t enter-

“It’s fine, Abigail cut her assistant off

Abigail’s assistant glanced at Lacey. She quelled her dissatisfaction and exited the office in silence.

“Are you here for a visit, or do you wish to place an order, Miss Fernandez?” Abigail stood up with a

polite smile on her face.

Lacey sat on the couch and studied the office before looking at Abigail. “You should know that I don’t

like you.”

“Yeah. I picked up on that last night,” Abigail calmly responded. She was startled by Lacey’s

bluntness.

“I figured you weren’t stupid. Do you know why I hate you?” Lacey crossed her legs and tilted her head

upward as if she owned the place.

I’m guessing it’s because of Anthony,” Abigail deduced.

Lacey cocked her eyebrows and declared domineeringly, “I know you two have had a good relationship

ever since your schooling days. Even though you’re both working now, he’s still very protective of you

and keeps helping you. I don’t like that. But, when it comes to work, you can’t be

1/3

of any help to him. He needs my family more, so that’s why he chose me. I’m sure you know when to

give up. Since you’re busy creating rumors about you and Sean, just focus on that. Stop contacting

Anthony.”

Abigail realized Lacey had come to mark her territory.

“Anthony and I have always been nothing more than business partners. Don’t overthink it, Miss

Fernandez. If something could have happened between us, it would have happened by now, don’t you

think?” Abigail responded with a nonchalant smile.

“You’re not in a relationship with him because you like being surrounded by men. Be it my cousin, or

him, or even others like Sean Graham and Eric Davidson, aren’t they all your knights in shining armor?

Truth be told, I despise women like you. I’ve seen more than my fair share of two- faced b*tches like

you in college.” Lacey had a look of scorn and derision on her face.

Abigail was about to speak when the door to the office opened again.

Sean stood in the doorway. An icy aura emanated from him.

Abigail’s assistant stood by the door. She was a little worried that Abigail would chide her for not

stopping Sean.

When Lacey looked at Sean, she sensed the terrifying look in his eyes and swiftly got to her feet. She

was a lot less domineering now. “I said what I came to say. I’m leaving now.”

“Who said you could leave?” Sean asked as he fixed his ice-cold gaze on Lacey.

“Let her leave,” Abigail said.

Sean pursed his lips and eyed Lacey.

Lacey’s knees turned to jelly. She held the couch for support as she stepped back.

“If you leave without apologizing, I’m not sure whether your tongue will remain in your possession for

much longer,” Sean remarked before entering the office.

Cameron, who was behind Sean, started walking toward Lacey with a threatening air.

Abigail frowned. “Cameron!”

Cameron reined in his intimidating air. He looked at Abigail and said, “Since you’re so kind, Ms. Quinn,

I won’t be too hard on her.”

“Leave Abigail said to Lacey.

Lacey had waltzed into the office with her nose in the air, but she was leaving with her tail between her

legs now.

2/3

”

Cameron wisely left the office and closed the door behind him. Abigail looked at Sean. “Why did you

come here?”

“I was in the area, so I came to see you,” Sean said. He stared at her and asked, “Are you really not

going to clarify what happened on Twitter? You’re not going to say you misclicked?”

“Why did you like the tweet anyway?”

Abigail was pissed about that. She did it by accident. Did he?

“I can do whatever I want with my Twitter account,” Sean said breezily as he sat down.

He was like an old geezer who barely knew what social media was back then, but now, he’s even

picking on internet slang.

“Who’s the guy who’s the reason why that woman’s picking on you?” Sean asked.

“She’s unimportant. If you have nothing else, you should get back to work. I’m busy.” Abigail didn’t want

to talk to Sean.

She wasn’t going to take Lacey’s words to heart anyway.

“How do I know whether or not I should let her off the hook if you don’t clarify the situation?” Sean

leaned into the couch and said while toying with his tablet.

Abigail instinctively glanced at him. “Has Cameron gone off to deal with her?”

“Cameron still listens to you. At least, before I give him the order, he won’t go against your wishes.”

Sean was smiling faintly.

Abigail didn’t know what to say.

When did Cameron switch his loyalties from Sean to her?

“Don’t keep getting Cameron to do these things. He’s your assistant. He’s not a bodyguard hired to get

physical with people. Why do you keep making him do your dirty work?” Abigail questioned with a look

of displeasure.
