Abigail Bernstein was a quiet and obedient girl who seldom say NO to her father’s decisions. Even when it’s about her marriage.
To save their family’s company out of bankruptcy, her father arranged her to marry Diarmuid Althoff, the grandson of a billionaire. But on their wedding day, the groom did not appear. Abigail was disappointed but could do nothing about it.
Alone and boring on wedding night, Abigail accepted to replace her colleague’s shift. At her workplace, the hospital, she saved a wounded man being hunted down by gangsters, and made out with this stranger to blow off steam.
The stranger, however, turned out to be her husband that did not show up at the altar.

If he did, Abigail might harass him or just come up with some convolute excuse to fire him once she became director. It…
She had asked an ex-colleague to help her sell the house. It was not supposed to be done so quickly, but her ex-colleague just happened to be looking to buy a house and bought it off her hands directly after checking it out. The ex-colleague hence transferred the money first, and would wait until Lulu…
Abigail actually had an idea, but she just wanted Dennis to prove it. “Tobey Kitsch, the former deputy director,” Dennis said. Abigail glowered—she was not surprised, but she was unhappy about it too. As she took a seat on the couch, Dennis asked, ”Have you decided what to do about this?” “You’ve been here for a while…
“Why did you come here?” There was no way he would come here out of the blue. Diarmuid stared at his arm after she took hers off, a brief flash of disappointment showing in his eyes. “Can’t I come here if there’s nothing in particular?” he asked. “You can come here anytime,” Abigail replied. “Fine.I just came…
However, after getting changed and heading to the front entrance, she saw Moneypenny jogging toward her. He was panting-even if he was not sick, he was still showing his age. “Madam Abigail,” he greeted her respectfully. Still, Abigail did not wait for him to tell her why he was there, and she quickly said, “I told…
“No,” Abigail replied. Ricky breathed a sigh in relief. “In that case, anything’s acceptable. “Really?” Abigail was just having trouble speaking up. “Anyway, Lulu left.To where, I have no idea.” Ricky sprang to his feet right then! “Are you kidding me?!
