The Spare Wife

Chapter 605 You Two Are Quite Close

After breakfast, Abigail prepared to go to work.

She glanced at Scarlett, who was busy planning something, and couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you go to the company?”

Scarlett hadn’t understood why she said that, but Abigail had already left.

However, Scarlett was easy to advise. She quickly packed up and prepared to go to the company.

As Abigail just stepped out, she saw Sean sitting in a car, waving at her.

“Are you giving me a ride to the company?” Abigail raised an eyebrow and asked.

“What do you think I’m doing here?” Sean smiled.

At once, she opened the car door and got in. As soon as she sat down, she took out her tablet to handle company matters.

“You’re even busier than me,” he chatted with her while driving.

“After the funeral, all the work piled up. Now that I finally have some free time, I need to handle everything thoroughly,” she said. Suddenly, she recalled the incidents involving Howard and Adam. She couldn’t help but ask Sean, “I haven’t paid much attention to the Fast Step situation. How about you?”

“I asked Xavien. He said Adam was dismissed by Fast Step and is currently under investigation. Howard’s incident has been labeled a honeytrap scam. Since there were quite a few reports against Adam, Howard had a stroke of luck,” he calmly replied.

Just then, Abigail checked the stock performance of Fairy Meadow, finding it to be extremely aggressive. Why is it skyrocketing?

“After Howard resigned, the shareholders selected a female CEO, and the response has been good so far,” Sean added.

At his words, she looked at him with surprise. No wonder

She put down the tablet and called Howard.

Soon, Howard answered the call.

“What’s going on? You didn’t have to resign. Why did you do that?” Abigail’s tone carried a hint of confusion.

Howard sighed. “I think you were right. Besides, netizens no longer accept Fairy Meadow having a male CEO. If I want to secure more money, I have to let Fairy Meadow thrive. Don’t worry. The current female CEO is doing well. I asked Mr. Graham, and he said she’s competent.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Abigail didn’t expect things to change so suddenly, and she was momentarily at a loss for words. After all, she had worked with Howard for so long, and even though they had disagreements, they were quite in sync in terms of work.

“What are your plans now?” She calmed down.

“I’m starting a new brand with friends. I have a small studio focusing on those internet celebrity kinds of men’s clothing. Gradually, it will become profitable,” he replied with a smile.

Abigail felt that he was still ambitious. Perhaps this incident made him realize that, even with her help, he couldn’t entirely smooth out the troubles he faced.

She didn’t say anything for a moment, but her mind was filled with various thoughts.

“I didn’t resign because of you. It was because I saw the true colors of Fairy Meadow’s shareholders. My share is small, and I have no say in their decisions. During this period, due to the severe online criticism, they repeatedly advised me to resign. I found it quite ridiculous,” Howard slowly explained to Abigail.

She was the only one he could confide in about what was on his mind.

“You should know that capital seeks profit. I’ve told you before to be careful with those small gains lest you lose something more significant. You always say it’ll be fine.” Abigail sighed.

Sean instinctively glanced at Abigail.

He parked the car in front of a cafe and got out to buy her coffee.

“If I hadn’t resigned, I wouldn’t have made up my mind. It’s not a big deal. I still have Fairy Meadow’s shares, anyway. Being a silent partner is quite good.” Howard smiled. After this incident, he understood that accumulating wealth solely from Fairy Meadow was useless if he wanted to be like Abigail.

Only by having shares did one have the right to speak. In L.Moon, Abigail and Luna held the majority shares. Those shareholders without the right to speak only focused on receiving their share of the money. It was the same in Fairy Meadow. So, Abigail understood the importance of having the right to speak.

“As long as you’ve figured it out. If you need any help, especially in design, I can assist some extent, but not in other matters,” she said.

“Great, with your help, I believe my studio will stabilize soon.” Howard’s spirits suddenly lifted.

“Howard, no matter what you do, you must understand one thing: you can only have a lasting business if you sincerely serve the people. You should know which is better: a short, huge success or a long-

lasting success. This is a good era. Seize the opportunity of internet traffic and create quality products. Eventually, you will understand,” Abigail advised him.

“Okay, thank you.” He was sincerely grateful.

After Abigail hung up the phone, Sean came back with two cups of coffee. He handed one cup to her and took a sip from his cup. After he covered it, he continued driving.

“You seem to have quite a close relationship with Howard,” he said in jealousy as he drove.

Abigail took a sip of coffee and held the cup in her hands before saying. “What do you know about the relationship built in the most challenging times?”

Without a word, Sean frowned at her, feeling a surge of jealousy. What was I doing at the time? I was with Kelly….

He found it suffocating, even just thinking about it.
