Chapter 367 Meeting The Yan Family Soon
Chapter 367 Meeting The Yan Family Soon
Day Forty-Three…
~~*****~~
Ana and Santra went to Dave's condo unit early this morning. Abigail and Dave were both having their breakfast when the two ladies arrived.
They were excited about the Star Gala Night. They still have time to go to the spa and salon. Abigail should doll up as if she was the most beautiful face in the entertainment world.
Tonight would be a special night for her as an actress. It would serve as her comeback after disappearing for a month because of her suicide scandal.
"We still have ten hours to prepare. Where do you want to go first?" Ana asked Abigail.
"We can go to Kathleen's Salon and Spa," Abigail suggested to them. Kathleen offered her her Salon and Spa because she wanted to do Abigail's hair and makeup personally.
Kathleen knew how important this Star Gala Night was for Abigail and her career. As her friend, she would always support her.
"I will accompany you, ladies. I will be your escort for today," Dave joined their conversation. He was now cleaning the table.
"Aww! So sweet! Are you going to introduce him to the public?" Santra asked Abigail with her dreamy eyes.
Abigail didn't know how she would respond to that. She was still feeling guilty toward Dave. Yesterday, she went to see Nathan and they shared an intimate moment.
She also promised Nathan that she would return to the mansion soon. Nathan did his part of admitting he missed her so she had to fulfill her promise.
'After the Star Gala… I will inform Dave about this.' Abigail thought to herself.
"Ladies, I'm going to take a shower first." Abigail excused herself. She felt uncomfortable talking about her relationship with Dave. Santra was expecting that Abigail would reveal to the public the real score between Dave and her.
Ana immediately dragged Santra to the living room while Dave continued doing the dishes.
"Santra, why did you ask her that? You made Abigail uncomfortable." Ana noticed Abigail's expression a while ago.
Santra immediately bit her lower lip as she gazed down. It wasn't her intention to make her feel uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am. It's just that… I think it will help Abigail to clear her name. Aside from her suicide scandal, there is a rumor going around that she has an indecent relationship with our CEO, Richard. His fiancé and her relatives are also attending the Star Gala Night." Santra expressed her opinion. She was just concerned about Abigail's reputation.
Ana fell silent for a moment. Santra had a point. The rumor started because of those jealous people who wanted to drag Abigail down. She became famous without relying on someone. She created her name in this entertainment industry because of her hard work, not because of someone backing her up. She started from the bottom and climbed up.
"Don't worry about that. Abigail wants her relationship to be private. She didn't want other people to know. She likes peace and quiet life when it comes to her romantic relationship. People will just try to ruin what she has once they find out about her relationship with Dave." Ana could understand why the real Abigail decided to hide her romantic relationship with Dave from the eyes of the public.
"Furthermore, I think Abi doesn't want to use her relationship with Dave just to end the rumor between her and CEO Chang. As long as she is with Dave… that all matters to her."
Santra bobbed her head in agreement. "I understand. I just hope that Lady Nadia and Patel's family will not judge Abigail because of the false rumor. What if they will create a scene during the Star Gala to humiliate Abi? Lady Nadia Patel is like the favored princess of the Yan Family and the Patel Family." Santra couldn't help but think of the worst-case scenario during the Star Gala. She was anxious and nervous for Abigail.
Ana just let out a soft giggle while patting Santra's back. "You are overthinking. Just relax. I don't think CEO Chang will allow anyone to target one of his favorite artists. Abi is like a treasure of Star Corp Entertainment." Ana reassured Santra.
"Sigh. I'm not certain about this. What if the person who will do that is from the Yan or the Patel Family? Do you think CEO Chang will still defend Abigail against his future in-laws?" Santra insisted on it.
Ana could only shake her head helplessly. "Don't worry. Dave is there to protect Abi. Besides, I know that Abigail is a strong woman. She can deal with them. She can fight for herself. She also has loyal fans!"
"Okay. Let's cross our fingers and hope for the best!" Santra heaved a deep sigh. "Let's warn Abi about this," she added.
"Sure. She has the right to know, including Dave. We have to prepare them for what they might encounter in the Star Gala." Ana agreed to Santra's suggestion.
After a few minutes, Abigail came out of her room. She was done taking a bath. She was wearing an off-shoulder dress which was above the knee.
"Where is Dave?" Abigail asked her assistant and her manager.
"He took a quick shower as well." Ana was the one who answered her.
Abigail just nodded her head. "Kathleen texted me. She is already looking for us."
Ana and Santra let out soft giggles. "Miss Kathleen looks like she is more excited than you, Miss Abi."
"Yeah. I think so," Abigail softly mumbled, scratching her nose.
"By the way, Abi… there is something we would like to tell you." Ana grabbed Abigail's hand, pulling her toward the sofa. She made her sit in between them.
"Okay. What is it?" Abigail gave them a questioning look.
"Miss Abi… you have to prepare yourself tonight. Not all people in the Star Gala will be happy to see you back." Santra warned her.
"Yeah. I know that." Abigail had already conditioned herself to meet some jealous rivals.
"Aside from your rivals… you have to be wary of the Yan Family and Patel Family. They thought you were Richard's other woman." Ana gently squeezed Abigail's hand.
Abigail blinked her eyes when she heard that. "The Yan Family will also come?"
"Yes. They are invited too… Why? Are you afraid of them?" Santra asked her inquisitively.
Abigail shook her head and flashed her faint smile. "Of course not. I'm not afraid of them. I am looking forward to meeting them…"
'They are Abigail's relatives… Hmm… should I reveal my connection with them. Let's see if someone among them wants to get rid of the real Abigail.'
Abigail found this opportunity to investigate and monitor the members of the Yan Family. She was still suspicious of them. According to Nathan's investigation, the real Abigail was supposed to meet the hired agent who was looking for the missing heiress.
But someone tried to kill the real Abigail. She failed to meet the agent. If she met him then the Yan Family would finally find her… Alyssa Yan's missing daughter.
"Miss Abi, why are you smiling like that? The Yan Family is very protective of Nadia. Since you are the rumored mistress of CEO Chang, they might see you as their enemy. They might bully you during the Star Gala." Santra sounded so worried about her.
"I can deal with them." Abigail declared with so much confidence.
