Chapter 255 Let’s Celebrate?
In a casual yet purposeful manner, Abigail tapped on the door to Kate’s office, leaning nonchalantly against the frame as she observed Kate deeply absorbed in her tasks.
“Kate, got a moment after the day’s toil? Phase one of our partnership has flourished–it calls for merriment, wouldn’t you agree?”
Kate’s brow furrowed slightly at the address. She had gently corrected Abigail’s formality on numerous occasions, yet Abigail persisted in her informality. With an internal sigh, Kate acquiesced with a resigned acceptance.
However, an evening of celebration… Kate paused, pondering. She desired to confer with Eric.
In recent weeks, Eric had been exceedingly occupied, arriving early and departing late from Davison Group.
George had even left Summer Estate to join him there. Kate refrained from prying–Davison Group’s. operations were vast and intricate, beyond her grasp, and Eric shielded her from certain matters.
Moreover, there were subjects Eric chose not to divulge to her.
Witnessing Kate’s hesitation. Abigail chuckled lightly. Thinking of your husband, perhaps? Ask him. then. I’ve long wished to treat you to dinner”
Abigail blinked, her face illuminated by a smile. “We owe it to you for affording Alpha Corporation this opportunity,”
Kate sighed, massaging her temples. She stole a glance at Abigail, then hesitated before speaking. “Hold on. let me speak with Eric.”
With that, Kate retrieved her phone and crossed over to the towering window to place the call.
Meanwhile, Abigail reclined in her chair. In the fleeting moment Kate turned away. Abigail’s gaze sharpened. A subtle smirk graced her lips as she observed Kate’s silhouette,
“Ric, are you free this evening?” The call connected swiftly. Kate’s gaze softened, her voice tender.
At that instant, Eric sat in a speeding car, his countenance sombre and his presence stern and unyielding. Yet, upon hearing Kate’s voice, his features softened immediately. “Apologies, Kate, official matters demand my attention.”
He paused briefly before speaking warmly, “What’s on your mind?
Kate chuckled softly. “Nothing serious–just contemplating dining with Abigail Take care of yourself and don’t exhaust yourself.”
Upon hearing Kate mention dining with Abigail, Ericvisibly tensed. He gripped the phone tightly, his gaze momentarily icy before softening gradually. Take care. Bring along a guard.”
Kate resumed “Vec Wie No need for concern

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Kate brought the call to a close.
Yet, as the conversation concluded, a deeper chill settled into the confines of the car. Eric pursed his lips, an oppressive presence enveloping him. Swiftly retrieving his laptop, he began typing with precise urgency, accessing Abigail’s dossier.
With eyes narrowed, Eric scrutinised every detail, an icy countenance etched upon his brow.
“Have those monitoring Abigail observed anything untoward?” Eric inquired after a prolonged silence.
Lucas, stationed at the wheel, responded promptly. “No irregularities reported by our operatives, Abigail’s background appears flawless.”
Flawless… Eric’s gaze lingered coolly upon Abigail’s flawlessly altered visage in the photograph. Something about it unsettled him deeply.
Especially her increasing proximity to Kate recently, frequenting HN Studio and forging a closer bond
with Kate.
Eric tapped his fingers thoughtfully, his voice growing colder, “Intensify surveillance on her. And triple the personnel observing my wife tonight at the restaurant.”
Lucas hesitated momentarily before asking instinctively, “Tripling surveillance on your wife at the restaurant–what about our operations here tonight?”
They had critical matters to attend to!
Eric’s tone turned glacial, his eyes aflame with determination, I will personally handle it.”
