Day Forty-Three...
~~*****~~
Ana and Santra went to Dave's condo unit early this morning. Abigail and Dave were both having their breakfast when the two ladies arrived.
They were excited about the Star Gala Night. They still have time to go to the spa and salon. Abigail should doll up as if she was the most beautiful face in the entertainment world.
Tonight would be a special night for her as an actress. It would serve as her comeback after disappearing for a month because of her suicide scandal.
"We still have ten hours to prepare. Where do you want to go first?" Ana asked Abigail.
"We can go to Kathleen's Salon and Spa," Abigail suggested to them. Kathleen offered her her Salon and Spa because she wanted to do Abigail's hair and makeup personally.
Kathleen knew how important this Star Gala Night was for Abigail and her career. As her friend, she would always support her.
"I will accompany you, ladies. I will be your escort for today," Dave joined their conversation. He was now cleaning the table.
"Aww! So sweet! Are you going to introduce him to the public?" Santra asked Abigail with her dreamy eyes.
Abigail didn't know how she would respond to that. She was still feeling guilty toward Dave. Yesterday, she went to see Nathan and they shared an intimate moment.
She also promised Nathan that she would return to the mansion soon. Nathan did his part of admitting he missed her so she had to fulfill her promise.
'After the Star Gala... I will inform Dave about this.' Abigail thought to herself.
"Ladies, I'm going to take a shower first." Abigail excused herself. She felt uncomfortable talking about her relationship with Dave. Santra was expecting that Abigail would reveal to the public the real score between Dave and her.
Ana immediately dragged Santra to the living room while Dave continued doing the dishes.
Ana and Santra let out soft giggles. "Miss Kathleen looks like she is more excited than you, Miss Abi."
"Yeah. I think so," Abigail softly mumbled, scratching her nose.
"By the way, Abi... there is something we would like to tell you." Ana grabbed Abigail's hand, pulling her toward the sofa. She made her sit in between them.
"Okay. What is it?" Abigail gave them a questioning look.
"Miss Abi... you have to prepare yourself tonight. Not all people in the Star Gala will be happy to see you back." Santra warned her.
"Yeah. I know that." Abigail had already conditioned herself to meet some jealous rivals.
"Aside from your rivals... you have to be wary of the Yan Family and Patel Family. They thought you were Richard's other woman." Ana gently squeezed Abigail's hand.
Abigail blinked her eyes when she heard that. "The Yan Family will also come?"
"Yes. They are invited too... Why? Are you afraid of them?" Santra asked her inquisitively.
Abigail shook her head and flashed her faint smile. "Of course not. I'm not afraid of them. I am looking forward to meeting them..."
'They are Abigail's relatives... Hmm... should I reveal my connection with them. Let's see if someone among them wants to get rid of the real Abigail.'
Abigail found this opportunity to investigate and monitor the members of the Yan Family. She was still suspicious of them. According to Nathan's investigation, the real Abigail was supposed to meet the hired agent who was looking for the missing heiress.
But someone tried to kill the real Abigail. She failed to meet the agent. If she met him then the Yan Family would finally find her... Alyssa Yan's missing daughter.
"Miss Abi, why are you smiling like that? The Yan Family is very protective of Nadia. Since you are the rumored mistress of CEO Chang, they might see you as their enemy. They might bully you during the Star Gala." Santra sounded so worried about her.
"I can deal with them." Abigail declared with so much confidence.
