Chapter 256 Just Be Attentive
Hearing Gregory's gentle and soothing voice, Abigail's cheeks turned red.
Gregory raised his hand and gently pinched Abigail's cherry-like pink cheeks, chuckling softly. "Abigail, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat."
Abigail was so mesmerized by his few words that she completely forgot what she wanted to ask earlier.
She obediently let Gregory lead her toward the restaurant.
On the other end of the phone, Tricia, who had heard the entire process clearly, remained silent. She finally understood why Abigail had fallen in love with Gregory.
Who could resist such charm? A CEO who was cold and arrogant to everyone else but gentle and considerate only to you.
A perfect man like that seemed almost otherworldly! No wonder Abigail fell for him! Any woman would find it hard to resist such allure!
Tricia hung up the phone with mixed feelings, realizing it was time to face reality.
Just then, a well-defined hand suddenly reached over and handed her a glass of warm water.
Tricia was startled and turned her head to see Henry standing behind her with a blank expression.
She was so frightened that she clutched her chest and frowned slightly.
"What are you doing? How come you made no sound at all? You scared me to death!" Tricia said.
"You were too focused on your thoughts and didn't hear me coming," Henry explained.
Tricia rolled her eyes in anger and complained, "You should have called out to me instead of suddenly extending a hand."
Henry raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, seemingly a bit guilty. "I poured you a glass of water. Remember to drink it."
Tricia looked at him, then at the glass of water, and sincerely asked, "You didn't poison the water, did you?"
Henry was silent. He was almost driven mad by Tricia!
Didn't she just say she liked gentle and considerate men? Wasn't he gentle and considerate enough?
He snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. If something happened to you in my company, I would have to take some responsibility!"
That seemed to make sense!
Tricia immediately felt relieved and took a sip from the glass.
Seeing that Henry had no intention of leaving, she glanced at him sideways and asked, "Why are you still here?"
Henry, feeling rejected once again, remained silent.
This unromantic Tricia was driving him crazy!
Henry took a deep breath and turned back to his office.
Watching his angry departure, Tricia was left bewildered. What had she done to upset him this time?
...
Maple Residence.
After having dinner with Abigail, Gregory's phone suddenly rang.
He opened it and saw a message from Henry.
Henry: [Gregory! Please help me! How did you make Abigail fall for you?]
Gregory raised an eyebrow, his long, jade-like fingers typing a line on the phone's keyboard: [Just be sincere.]
Henry looked at these words, unable to help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
He seriously suspected that Gregory was hiding something!
Henry gritted his teeth and casually tossed his phone aside, staring blankly at the ceiling.
He had never thought that pursuing a woman could be such a troublesome thing.
In the past, he only needed to wave his hand, and those women would come flocking to him.
But Tricia was different.
Subconsciously, he didn't want to treat her the same way he treated those other women.
He couldn't quite explain why.
Thinking of the foolish Tricia, Henry sighed heavily once again.
...
Since the end of the designer competition, Abigail could clearly feel that the company's attitude toward her had changed significantly.
Although these people had always been respectful on the surface, their smiles had never been very sincere.
But now, their faces were full of smiles, and their eyes were shining. Abigail shook her head helplessly.
She greeted them and went straight upstairs.
Seeing her arrival, Susan immediately stepped forward to greet her. "Ms. Martin, these are the documents that need your signature. Please review them."
Abigail took the documents and glanced at Susan.
Her face was brightly smiling, even though she was trying hard to restrain it, she couldn't hide it.
Abigail curiously asked, "Susan, what happened to make you so happy?"
Susan was stunned for a moment, then reached out to touch her face, muttering, "Is it that obvious?"
Abigail nodded, teasing, "It's very obvious. Why don't you tell me and make me happy too?"
Susan took out her phone and opened today's news, saying, "I heard that Jessica has been taken away by the police and will probably be detained for a while."
Attempted murder, along with the hospital's injury assessment report, Jessica was definitely in big trouble this time!
Abigail glanced at the news and smiled.
No doubt, this was Gregory's doing.
Although the means were a bit extreme, she had to admit, she liked this way of revenge very much.
