100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 118 [Bonus Chapter] A Job Offer

Day Ten…

~~*****~~

In the end, Abigail ended up buying a stun gun and pepper spray. She obediently followed Black Rose's suggestions. Besides, she could feel her sincerity and concern for her safety. Black Rose was always kind, sweet, and thoughtful towards everyone in the guild.

But her attitude and behavior eventually changed after that tragic night. Her heart became cold after losing her sisters. Not sisters by blood by sisters by heart! They were part of her family so she also had a deep resentment toward Nathan, the Supreme Leader of the Sypiruz Mafia.

"Thank you for accompanying me. I hope I didn't waste your time. Did I trouble you so much today?" Abigail asked Black Rose as they left the shop.

She was already holding the paper bag containing a stun gun and pepper spray. She also bought some spying devices. The spying devices cost a lot so she only managed to buy one and two items.

"It's fine. I'm also free today. I have nothing to do and I'm jobless," Black Rose joked, letting out a soft giggle to lighten the atmosphere. She didn't want Abigail to feel guilty about this.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet. We've been talking for a while now but I didn't know your name. If you don't mind, may I know who you are?" Black Rose said, smiling tenderly at her.

Abigail had forgotten to introduce her name. She already knew Black Rose so she didn't think of asking her name. Fortunately, Black Rose asked for her name.

"I'm Abigail, you can call me Abi. How about you?" She was determined to hide her identity from Black Rose. She was worried that Black Rose might be put in danger again once she learned the truth about her situation.

Knowing her, Abigail could already imagine how Black Rose would react. She would do anything to take Phantomflake's body back from Nathan. It would be dangerous for her. She would not allow her to do that. She already had a plan in mind if ever she would succeed in returning to her original body and wake up from her coma state.

"My name is Cherry," Black Rose extended her hand in front of Abigail for a handshake. "It's nice meeting you, Abi! Can you be my friend?"

Abigail's soft giggle bubbled up. Black Rose was still direct and frank. If she likes someone, she will never hesitate to show it and express her real feelings. She was glad that Black Rose was still fond of her even though she was using another persona.

"I would love to." Abigail accepted her hand and shook it. "We are now friends! Come with me. I will treat you as a sign of my gratitude."

"Sure. I'm hungry too so I will not refuse your invitation." Black Rose finally eased up a little. She was not that anxious anymore about Red Dragon Mafia. She didn't know why Abigail's presence gave her a sense of security. She felt safe with her. It's quite confusing and ironic. She thought she was the one making Abigail feel safe.

The two proceeded to a restaurant nearby. The smile on Abigail's face never left as she was so happy to be with Black Rose. Her name was now Cherry so she would call her by that name, instead of her alias. She just hoped she wouldn't have a slip of the tongue while talking to Black Rose.

"This restaurant is serving delicious beefsteak," Abigail mumbled as she could recall Black Rose's favorite food. "Let's order one!"

Black Rose's eyes lit up when she heard that. She was surprised that Abigail also liked Beefsteak.

"That's my favorite!"

'I know! That's why I want to order it for you,' Abigail thought to herself inwardly, looking at Black Rose tenderly.

"Is it alright? It's quite expensive," Black Rose suddenly got worried. But Abigail already saved up her money for this meal. This was one of the reasons why she didn't spend so much to buy spying devices. She wanted to treat Black Rose to a good meal.

"Don't worry. I have enough money to buy your favorite." Abigail winked at her. Black Rose could only smile and thanked her.

"I promise… I will treat you next time," Black Rose cheerfully said, thinking what organization she would target this time to steal money from.

As if Abigail could read her mind, she just shook her head helplessly. Hacking someone's accounts and stealing money from them was just easy peasy for the hackers like them. But they needed to lie low and not attract Nathan's attention. So doing that was not a good idea.

"Don't steal from someone…" Abigail suddenly blurted out, flashing a wide grin.

Black Rose just blinked her eyes in amusement as Abigail seemed to read what was running on her mind. She smiled sheepishly, feeling a little bit guilty. Indeed, she was thinking of stealing from someone again by using her hacker's skill.

"Ahem. It's so hard to earn money lately with a decent job." Black Rose said, scratching her face.

When Black Rose mentioned that, Abigail suddenly remembered something.

"You are searching for a job? Hmm. I know a job that offers a high salary!" Abigail snapped her fingers as she recalled the vacant position of Chief Cook in the Sparks Mansion.

"Why don't you become a Chef? I will recommend you to someone I know! You will earn a hundred thousand dollars a month! You have free food and lodging. And you can be with me all the time!"

Black Rose: "..."

Abigail didn't think twice about offering that job to Cherry, also known as Black Rose. She thought it would be best to keep her closer to her as she could watch her and protect her under her wings. There would be pros and cons because she would be under Nathan's care. But Abigail wanted to be with Black Rose. She could definitely trust her and she would never betray her.

As long as Black Rose doesn't know that Nathan Sparks is the Supreme Leader of Syphiruz Mafia, she will not do reckless things. Besides, Abigail would be with her to keep her in control.

"Uhm. Okay. Let me think about it first. But a hundred thousand dollars a month… is quite a tempting salary."
