Chapter 299 Abigail's Invitation!
At six in the evening, Ryder stretched after a long day and headed downstairs.
As he reached the company entrance, someone blocked his way. It was Abigail, dressed in a sexy camisole, mini skirt, and heavy makeup.
"Long time no see!" Abigail greeted with a flirty smile.
Ryder wasn't thrilled. "I'd rather not see you at all."
Abigail looked a bit embarrassed but kept her smile. "That's a bit harsh, don't you think?"
"Not really," Ryder replied, checking his phone. "I need to get home for dinner with Sarah. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
He started to walk away, but Abigail grabbed his wrist. "Wait! I..."
Before she could finish, Rex appeared and knocked her hand away. "Why are you grabbing Ryder's hand?" he demanded.
After Ryder's kidnapping, Rex had been sticking close to him as a bodyguard, worried about another incident.
Abigail winced and almost cried. "Where did you come from? You scared me! And why do you care if I grab his hand?"
Rex stayed calm. "I don't allow anyone suspicious to approach Ryder."
"What's suspicious about me?" Abigail snapped. "Move. I need to talk to Ryder!"
Rex looked at Ryder, who sighed and signaled Rex to step aside. Ryder felt he could handle Abigail himself.
"If you have something to say, just say it," Ryder said.
Abigail glanced at Rex and hesitated. "It's not convenient here. Let's go somewhere else."
"I don't have time," Ryder replied.
Abigail pleaded, "It's just the café across the street. What I have to say is important; it involves Sandra. Don't you want to hear it?"
Mentioning Sandra made Ryder frown. He was still wary of her, despite winning their last encounter.
After a moment, Ryder nodded. "Alright, you have ten minutes."
Abigail's face lit up, and she led Ryder to the café. They found a quiet spot by the window and sat down. Abigail ordered coffee for Ryder, but he didn't touch it.
"What's the matter involving Sandra? Speak," Ryder demanded.
"Why the rush?" Abigail pouted, rolling her eyes. She propped her chin with one hand and asked seductively, "What do you think of me?"
Ryder was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Abigail tilted her head. "My looks, my temperament, my personality. Just say whatever comes to mind."
Ryder's mouth twitched. "Just so-so."
Abigail fell silent.
Though not thrilled with Ryder's response, Abigail kept smiling. "You're as sharp-tongued as ever, but I like it!"
Ryder was speechless.
Abigail sipped her coffee through a straw, holding her lips on it for a few seconds, looking seductive. "I think you've misunderstood me. From the moment you joined the Johnson family, I knew you were special. But you were with Sarah, so I couldn't make a move."
Ryder frowned. "Get to the point. This is boring."
Abigail continued, "You've been with Sarah for three years and still haven't had sex. Don't you have desires?"
Ryder didn't answer. Of course, he had desires, but he respected Sarah's boundaries.
Abigail's eyes gleamed cunningly. "That's the issue. You're a man of principles. Even with money and power, you wouldn't cheat. But some pleasures shouldn't be missed. Don't wait until it's too late."
"What are you implying?" Ryder asked.
Abigail pulled down her camisole, revealing her shoulder and some chest. "You can do whatever you want with me. Beautiful women love heroes, and I'm no exception. This will stay between us. Men love excitement, and since I'm Sarah's cousin, it's even more thrilling. I'm very skilled and can guarantee you'll get addicted."
Ryder finally understood. 'I asked for info, and you want my body? How despicable!'
"I do mind!" Ryder said firmly.
Abigail was stunned.
"I mind a lot! I'm not looking for excitement with you. Since you have no info on Sandra, I'm leaving!" Ryder stood up.
Abigail's looks and figure were top-notch, but she was still no match for Sarah. Plus, Ryder knew she was a gold-digger.
"Don't leave! Think it over!" Abigail pleaded.
Ryder ignored her.
Desperate, Abigail pulled her camisole down further and tried to throw herself at Ryder. But he dodged, and she fell, spilling coffee all over herself.
Seeing this, Ryder took out his phone and snapped a few photos. "Impressive! Truly great 'skills'!"
With that, Ryder left the café without looking back.
