100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Thirty-Nine…

~~*****~~

[ At Sparks Mansion… ]

Abigail was staring at her laptop sharply. She had been reading the news on the internet regarding Nathan's engagement. Someone even posted a photo of Helena's back as she entered Nathan's office.

There were lots of netizens commenting on the news article. They presumed that the CEO of SYP Twilight Corporation, Nathan Sparks finally moved on from his past lover. And he was ready to open a new chapter of his life together with his fiancé.

The post gained several congratulatory words from the public. Some women were jealous of the woman spotted in his office. The rumor started from the SYP Twilight Corporation building. But they didn't know who leaked the information and the photo of Helena.

Whoever spread or post the photo which was used to write the article, Nathan would certainly punish the employee. He or she would be subject to disciplinary action. It was forbidden for the Staff and employees of SYP Twilight Corporation to create rumors about their CEO. Who would dare offend Nathan?

But little did they know, Old Man Xu was the one who leaked this information so that Maximilian Carlsen would believe that Old Man Xu and Nathan accepted the arranged marriage without any objection. This was one of his ways of convincing Maximilian that there was no resistance on Nathan's side, making him believe that Old Man Xu was obedient to him.

However, because of this strategy, someone got affected. It was none other than Abigail. She posted some comments contradicting the content of the articles.

MissAnonymous: [ That photo does not prove anything! A woman entering his office means he is having a meeting with an investor and client, most probably… a business partner, not a life partner! ]

Abigail even created a dummy account just to post comments on the different news articles talking about Nathan's engagement.

MissAnonymous: [ Don't jump to conclusion! Have you seen them dating? Have you seen them kissing? Of course, they are not a couple. That was just a false rumor! Don't believe that nonsense! ]

Abigail was not able to control her annoyance so she posted another comment. Nathan kissed her willingly. But he refused to put a label on their relationship. And now, the public believed that Nathan was engaged to someone.

One netizen replied to Abigail's comment, saying: [ You are just jealous! Of course, CEO Sparks is a very private person. He won't kiss someone in public! The writer said that she had a reliable source about this so we believe her! ]

Abigail gritted her teeth as she read the netizen's reply. "What is he doing?! Nathan should take down this article! He has the power to do that. I don't know why he is letting the public talk about his private life! Is he enjoying the attention?!"

Abigail slammed her laptop close. She could no longer take this. She had been wasting her time. She spent two hours just reading the articles and the comments of the netizens. It was best to confront Nathan.

Without further ado, Abigail dashed out of her room, heading to Nathan's study room. Nathan didn't go to his office today as he decided to work from home. Nathan was typing something on his laptop and reviewing some data on the excel files when he heard the loud and continuous knocking sound of the door.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Nathan furrowed his eyebrows as he tossed a look at his door. The person knocking outside was applying a great force! He didn't have to ask since he already knew who was the person outside. Aside from his father, only Abigail would dare knock on his door like that.

Nathan stood up and walked towards his door with a grim expression on his face. When he opened the door, Nathan was greeted by Abigail's deathly glare. She narrowed her eyes at him while pouting her lips.

"Are you trying to destroy my door?" Nathan scowled at her. He was working on something and he got disturbed by Abigail's forceful knock.

Abigail was not intimidated by Nathan's grumpy mood. She was also annoyed and pissed off by him. He didn't do anything to block the news. But unknown to her, the person responsible for this was Old Man Xu, Nathan's father.

Abigail stepped forward, pushing Nathan inside his study room. Then she closed the door behind and locked it. She didn't want Butler Li and the other maids to interrupt her conversation with Nathan.

"What's wrong with you?" Nathan questioned her. He was supposed to be the one who should feel annoyed and get angry with her. But Abigail was the one acting out, showing some attitude.

"Are you announcing your engagement with Helena Carlsen to the world?" Abigail asked Nathan, pursing her lips as they formed into a thin line.

Nathan fell silent for a moment, trying to absorb her words. After a while, he lifted an eyebrow and asked her, "Why?"

"I want to know so that I will know what I will do to you." Abigail promptly responded, staring at Nathan intently. She reached out, tugging Nathan's collar using both hands as she pulled him closer to her.

Nathan had to press his hand on the door, supporting himself from that sudden pull. The two of them were now standing face to face, almost closing their gaps. Their faces were just inches away from each other, their foreheads almost touching.

Nathan couldn't explain but he liked this closeness. He could smell her sweet scents, her warmth radiating through him. He suddenly felt hot and his throat became dry. He just found himself looking at her lips as if he was being enticed by them… inviting him to taste her kissable lips once again.

"What will you do if I officially announce my engagement with her?" Nathan murmured, challenging Abigail. His lips curled up into a mischievous grin. He wanted to know how she would react. She already admitted that she was jealous of her. And now, he wanted to see her cute reaction while being jealous.

Abigail tightened her grip on his collar, clutching the fabric of his shirt. She recalled Nathan's words telling her to seduce him properly. [ "If you want to seduce me then do it properly!" ]

Taking his advice, Abigail turned him around and pushed him to the door. In just a split second, Nathan was trapped in between the door and Abigail. The next thing he felt was Abigail's soft lips crushing his. Abigail sealed his mouth with a kiss!
