Chapter 84: No Need to Be Overly Cautious

Nina's gaze toward Joan was different now. Approaching with a hint of flattery in her tone, she said, "Abigail went to quite a bit of trouble to seduce Mr. Graham. She's shameless!"

Joan fixed her gaze on Nina and replied, "I'm sure what you saw last night was intentional."

Nina smiled. "Don't worry, I'll help you. I detest homewreckers."

A forced smile flickered across Joan's face before she regained her composure. After seeing Nina off, her expression turned cold; she genuinely hated the idea of a "third party."

Nina returned to her room, wandering before deciding to find Damian. The production team had been incredibly busy since the project began. Abigail was skilled, able to complete a woman's dress in half a day.

After lunch, as Abigail and Luna prepared to return to their rooms, Victor stopped them. "Do you have some free time around seven tonight?"

Abigail was puzzled. "Is there something you need?"

Luna, with a playful smile, teased Victor. "Of course she's free. Are you planning a date?"

Abigail knew Luna's intentions.

Victor blushed, waving his hands in embarrassment. "No! You've misunderstood. I have something to give her!"

He hurried away before Abigail could respond, leaving Luna with a mischievous smile.

In the elevator, Luna put an arm around Abigail. "What do you think he wants to give you?"

Abigail replied calmly, "Why did you tease him like that? It's causing unnecessary trouble."

Luna explained, "We need to let him know it's okay to pursue you, especially since you're getting a divorce. He's a catch—good-looking and well-built."

"Don't cause trouble, and I don't want to be involved in anything like this within the production team. Designing clothes is my job," Abigail insisted quietly.

Luna clicked her tongue. "But he's clearly interested. He's just not very skilled at acting, considering his experience. Why pretend to be innocent?"

Abigail didn't believe she was easily swayed by Victor's looks, but she seemed to see through him. "I'm not even divorced yet, and I'm not fooling around," she replied sarcastically. "I'm not Sean."

At 5:30 PM, during dinner, Victor attentively served Abigail and Luna. Luna leaned back, enjoying the service. Once he sat down, she asked, "Why did you invite my assistant? Is something important?"

"It's not something to discuss now. Let's eat first," he replied mysteriously.

Luna didn't press, and the others remained silent.

After dinner, as Abigail and Luna left, Nina, Joan, and Damian exchanged knowing smiles.

By 7:00 PM, Abigail could no longer ignore Victor's persistent messages urging her to meet. She went to the garden.

Luna noticed Abigail's flushed cheeks and fatigue. "Let me go in your place. He probably got you medicine."

Abigail glanced at her. "You knew?"

"Of course. Your leg looks worse today. Anyone can see it. I thought Sean, who likes to observe from the shadows, would bring it. I was wrong," Luna huffed.

"Why didn't you bring the medicine?" Abigail asked playfully.

Luna stood by the door, smiling mischievously. "If I had, how could I let someone else be attentive to you?"

Abigail wrinkled her nose but said nothing. She'd underestimated Sean; if he discovered Victor brought her medicine, he'd likely kick Victor off the team without hesitation. There'd be no opportunity for a jealous scene. However, Luna getting the medicine could be seen as helping Victor, saving him from trouble.

After Luna left, Abigail felt her mouth dry and her body temperature rise. She adjusted her clothes.

When Luna reached the meeting place, a hand grabbed her from behind.

Changes Made:

• Corrected grammar and punctuation throughout.
• Improved sentence structure for clarity and flow.
• Replaced informal language ("as busy as bees") with more sophisticated alternatives.
• Removed unnecessary repetition.
• Replaced asterisks around potentially offensive words with more appropriate phrasing. (Consider if replacement words are still necessary for context).
• Added time indications for clarity (5:30 PM, 7:00 PM).
• Fixed a pronoun error ("you think he").

The revised passage is significantly more polished and readable.
