100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 44 S.O.S

Day Four…

~~*****~~

"Aw, aww!" Aiden groaned as Abigail twisted his arm so hard. This wasn't the reaction he was expecting to see from Abigail.

He thought this woman would fall on his charm the moment she set her eyes on him. But he was so wrong to assume that as Abigail was no ordinary woman. She was different from those women who usually would go crazy about him.

'Damn! Nate didn't warn me about this!'

Nathan already sorted out his problem so he had to keep his end of the deal. He came to visit and see Abigail Scarlett. If he could use his charm to get close to her, the better.

But who would have thought that he would get attacked by her on their first meeting? He hadn't even started his 'the moves' yet in hooking up with women.

"Miss Abi, let go of Master Aiden. He is an engineer. Please don't break his arm!" Butler Li could no longer stay silent.

He intervened to remind Abigail that she was not supposed to hurt this man. He was an important guest… very close to Nathan… an influential man in Towerville City.

Abigail immediately let go of Aiden's arm. She realized another mistake. As a highly trained assassin, being alert and on guard as always, Abigail couldn't stop her body and natural reflexes.

She was not used to strangers touching her body like that. Whenever she would feel unsafe and sense danger, she would react as fast as she could. This also happened when Nathan tried to hold her shoulder inside his room. She ended up throwing him on the ground.

Aiden put on a pitiful face while rubbing his wrist and arm. He glanced at Abigail with disbelief. He subconsciously stepped back, distancing himself from Abigail.

'She is not a cute charming kitten. She is an untamed tigress!' So fierce and scary.' Aiden lamented to his mind. This was the first time he was treated like this by a woman. He was used to being adored by women.

Abigail immediately bowed in front of him as she apologized. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's your fault for surprising me. Don't just touch me like that, especially since this is our first meeting…"

Aiden could only smile awkwardly. He couldn't blame her. He was the one who got excited to meet her. A beautiful lady before his eyes forced his body to wrap his arm around her shoulders.

If she was just like any other woman, they would certainly blush and feel glad to have Aiden's arms wrapped around their bodies. His narcissistic self was the one to blame.

"I'm fine. I would like to apologize as well for my inappropriate behavior." Aiden apologized to her.

Abigail just nodded her head, her lips curling up into a satisfied smile. It seemed that she sent a clear message to Aiden that she was off-limits. This womanizer just received a scary warning.

Meanwhile, Butler Li could finally breathe normally. His Master Aiden didn't get mad at Abigail. He guessed Abigail and him were safe for now.

"Master Aiden, I will just get you some drinks. Miss Abi will keep you company here. Master Nathan is not around so he requested Miss Abi to be your host today," Butler Li informed Aiden. Then he glanced at Abigail with his pleading eyes as if he was asking her not to create any more trouble and behave in front of their guest.

"S-Sure… Thank you, Uncle Li." Aiden said reluctantly. He didn't want him to leave. What if Abigail would suddenly attack him again?

'From now on, I have to be careful with my actions around her. This Abigail Scarlett is like a member of Amazons, the great female warriors!' Aiden thought to himself, staring at her anxiously.

Abigail invited Aiden to sit down. She moved to the opposite sofa, facing Aiden.

"You look familiar to me. Perhaps… you are Abigail Scarlett, the actress from Star Corp Entertainment?" Aiden started a conversation with her. He wanted to build rapport by getting to know her.

"Yes, I am. But my presence here is a secret. You've heard about my suicide attempt, right. I would appreciate it if you would keep this to yourself," Abigail confronted him directly. She cracked her knuckles while eyeing Aiden meaningfully.

Aiden was smart enough to understand that Abigail's gesture was another warning to keep his mouth shut for him not to tell others about Abigail's whereabouts.

Aiden just let out an anxious chuckle, bobbing his head obediently. "Of course! I will not tell anyone. Besides, Nathan will silence me even if you don't ask me to."

'Damn! Why do I feel so nervous? Nathan is right. She doesn't seem to be an ordinary woman. This woman is so… scary. No wonder Nathan got so curious about her.' Aiden wanted to back out.

Unable to take the intense pressure surrounding him, Aiden excused himself to call someone.

He kept pacing back and forth across the balcony as he waited for Stephen to answer his call.

"Come on, Steph! Answer me!" Aiden mumbled in wishful thinking.

Soon, the phone call got answered. Aiden's eyes lit up as if a heavy burden was lifted off his chest.

"Stephennnn!" He called out as though they hadn't talked for a decade.

"Yes, Engr. Wu? How can I help you?" Stephen asked him right away. He could tell that his best friend called him as he needed something from him.

"Where are you?"

"In my clinic. Why?" Stephen was puzzled as to why Aiden sounded so anxious. Did he get in trouble again?

"S.O.S! Please come here to Nathan's mansion. Abigail Scarlett is a handful. I can't deal with her alone. I don't think my charm will work. I need your skills as a professional psychologist." Aiden pleaded desperately.

Stephen let out a soft chuckle and said, "She is your assignment. Not mine."

"Hey, don't refuse. I assure you. You will not get bored. Besides, you like to know people with interesting attitudes and behaviors, right? Abigail is one of them!" Aiden uttered, trying to convince Stephen.

Stephen fell silent for a moment. Then after a while, he spoke again saying, "Okay. I'm coming!"

'Yesss!' Aiden punched the air as soon as he heard Stephen's words.
