100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 307 The Dinner Date

Day Thirty-Six...

~~*****~~

[ At Sparks Mansion... ]

Nathan was drinking coffee in the living room. He was killing time since the dinner date was set at 7:00 pm. It was only 5:30 in the afternoon.

He decided to stay in the living room to secretly observe Abigail. He wondered if Abigail learned about his date tonight.

'Don't tell me Aiden kept his mouth shut? I informed him thinking that he would use his blabbering mouth to tell Ethan and Abigail about my dinner date.' Nathan frowned at that thought.

Abigail seemed to be ignoring his presence. She was just passing by the living room, not even glancing in Nathan's direction. She only talked to Butler Li as if Nathan was invisible in her eyes.

But little did he know, Abigail was stealing glances at him from time to time. She already planned on tailing him tonight to find out who his date was. Was she really pretty? A rich pretty lady?!

'Why not date me instead? He said I was also an heiress?! Why choose a woman from Country R?' Abigail clenched her fists as she shot Nathan a cold sharp glare.

That was the time Nathan looked up only to see Abigail glaring at him. Nathan arched his eyebrow and put down his coffee mug. "Do you have anything to say to me, Miss Scarlett?"

Abigail was standing on the second floor near the staircase when Nathan met her gaze.

"Nothing. Just enjoy your coffee, Mr. Sparks." Abigail forced a smile.

"Do you want to join me here?" Nathan invited her.

Abigail stared at him for a long moment, contemplating whether she would go down and join Nathan or just leave him be.

After five seconds, Abigail just found herself descending the stairs as she inched closer and closer to Nathan's spot. Nathan signaled her to sit on the vacant chair opposite him. But Abigail sat down next to him, ignoring Nathan's gesture.

"Are you avoiding me, Miss Scarlett?" Nathan finally asked her. He was dying to know why Abigail had been giving him a cold shoulder since this morning. She had been ignoring him as well. He was glad that she finally joined him on that couch.

"Nope. I'm not. Why?" Abigail responded, shrugging her shoulders. She was feigning ignorance.

"Nothing. I thought you were avoiding me." Nathan plainly said before taking a sip of his coffee. He slightly turned to the side so that he could see her face.

Abigail had a puzzled look on her face as she gazed at Nathan. The devil was so calm and relax as if he didn't have a date tonight. He should have been preparing by now. But here he was, sitting leisurely while enjoying his coffee.

'Well. Nathan doesn't need to prepare for his OOTD. Any clothes will suit him. No matter what clothes he will be wearing, he will certainly look gorgeous. Sigh. This devil is so handsome and charismatic. His date will probably be mesmerized by this charming devil...' Abigail exhaled deeply at that thought.

"I'm going somewhere tonight," Nathan blurted out suddenly, taking another sip of his coffee.

Abigail sighed once again and said, "I know."

Nathan was taken aback for a moment. His eyes sparkled as he turned to her. 'She knows...'

Nathan's lips twitched fighting a smile.

"How did you know?" Nathan asked.

"Huh?" Abigail realized that her tongue slipped. "I mean I'm going out tonight with my manager and personal assistant. I don't need a bodyguard. So I am letting you know." Abigail immediately changed the topic.

She couldn't follow Nathan if she had bodyguards tailing her all the time. She needed to be alone.

Meanwhile, Nathan felt a little bit disappointed. He thought Abigail already knew that he was going on a date tonight. But it turned out, Abigail was going out together with her manager and assistant. How could he test her?

'I can't tell her directly that I'm going on a date tonight. Does she really care? Where is the woman who told me that she would make me fall for her?' The gleam in his eyes disappeared and his expression darkened.

"K. You can leave without the bodyguards." Nathan immediately stood up without throwing a glance at her.

Abigail felt relieved since Nathan allowed her not to bring a bodyguard with her. But unknown to her, Nathan went to the balcony to call Abigail's assigned bodyguard.

"Miss Scarlett is hanging out with her friends tonight. Just follow her secretly. Report to me where she is going." Nathan instructed Abigail's bodyguard.

"Noted, sir!" The bodyguard promptly responded.

"Don't let her know... otherwise, you will lose your job," Nathan warned him.

"Y-Yes, sir." The bodyguard suddenly felt anxious. If he failed to do his task, Nathan wouldn't hesitate to fire him.

Nathan dismissed the bodyguard. He looked at his wristwatch. It was already 6:00 pm. One hour left before the meet-up with Helena Carlsen. Nathan headed to his room to take a shower and prepare.

Abigail, who was sitting in the living room, also came upstairs when she saw Nathan going to his room. She had to change her clothes and get ready to tail Nathan.

*An hour later...*

Nathan left the house, driving his own car. On the other hand, Abigail rode a taxi cab and asked the driver to follow Nathan's car. Abigail was clueless that a guy riding a motorcycle also left the mansion, tailing her.

The restaurant was just a twenty-minute drive from the Sparks Mansion. When Nathan arrived, the staff welcomed him warmly and guided him to the reserved table for them.

The bouquet of flowers was already there. All he had to do was to give it to Helena. Nathan settled down and roamed his eyes around the venue. It looked like his father chose the most secluded area in the restaurant. No other customers were present.

'That old man... he reserved the whole restaurant tonight. Not allowing other customers to enter.'

Nathan was still surveying the area when he received a call from Abigail's bodyguard.

"Sir, Miss Scarlett arrived at a restaurant. But it looks like the guard stops her from entering." The bodyguard reported to Nathan.

Nathan frowned when he heard that. "What is the name of the restaurant?"

"Moonlight Restaurant."

Nathan: "..."

Nathan fell silent for a moment when he heard the restaurant's name. There was only one Moonlight Restaurant in Towerville City. This only meant... Abigail was also there. However, the restaurant was not accepting customers tonight aside from Nathan and Helena.

After a while, Nathan just found himself smiling broadly. 'Did she follow me here? That makes sense. No wonder she didn't want to bring her bodyguard.'

"You can leave now. No need to follow her," Nathan ordered the bodyguard to leave.

Meanwhile, Abigail was still in the front of the restaurant, arguing with the guard.

"Huh? Why can't I enter? I'm a customer here." Abigail felt annoyed since the guard stopped her from entering.

"Sorry, Ma'am. But the whole place was reserved for our VIP client. You can't enter for now."

'Damn you, Nathan Sparks! He reserved the whole restaurant just for the two of them.' Abigail clenched her fists, gnashing her teeth.

Abigail had no choice but to leave. But just when she was about to walk away, the door of the restaurant was pushed open and a waiter called her.

"Miss, Sorry for the misunderstanding. You can enter our restaurant."

"But your guard said the restaurant was reserved for your VIP client." Abigail folded her arms over her chest.

"Oh... that's a miscommunication on our part, Ma'am. It will be closed to other customers at around 9:00 pm tonight." The waiter explained. It was a lie! But they received an order from their VIP client to let the woman outside enter the restaurant.

Abigail tossed a look at the glass wall of the restaurant. She couldn't see any customers inside. Nathan was the last person she saw who entered the restaurant. Nathan was guided to a special booth so she couldn't see him from the entrance door.

Abigail contemplated for a moment. 'There is no way Nathan saw me, right?'

After a while, Abigail decided to enter. She had nothing to lose. She just wanted to know and see Nathan's date tonight.

The waiter smiled cheerfully and felt relieved. A big tip was waiting for him if he convinced Abigail to enter. "Welcome to our restaurant Ma'am! Enjoy."
