100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Forty-Two...

~~*****~~

Upon leaving the hotel, Abigail quickly grabbed a taxi. She wanted to see Nathan. The devil finally lowered his pride and said those three words to Abigail. 'I Miss You!'

Abigail's heart was thumping so hard inside her chest. She had the urge to fly just to see Nathan's face. She was aware that Nathan was upset with her.

He left the hospital without looking back. Abigail thought it was her fault for sending him away. She had no choice but to act like that in front of Dave.

But then again, she realized that she wasn't considerate of Nathan's feelings. With that, she wanted to see Nathan and apologized for her actions.

'Damn! Why am I getting so excited?' Abigail placed her hand on her chest, feeling her heartbeat.

[ "I wanna see you." ]

Those last words from Nathan sent her heartbeat into a frenzy and her stomach fluttered as if there were butterflies flying around inside of her. She swooned over his words. Abigail didn't expect to hear those words today.

"Mister, can you drive faster?" Abigail asked the driver. She was dying to see Nathan.

Abigail realized that she was running out of time. As much as possible, she didn't want to waste her time. With the turn of events, she might return to her original body soon. Once it happened, Nathan would start hating her again as Phantomflake.

She wanted to seize this moment and be with Nathan, enjoying his company. She was uncertain when would be the time for her to leave this body. She had to gamble everything for this.

Meanwhile, the driver sped up, complying with Abigail's request. It did not take before she reached the SYP Twilight Corp Building. After paying her fare, she stepped out of the car, entering the building in a rush.

But the guards stopped her at the entrance. She didn't have an employee's ID. He didn't recognize Abigail either because she was only wearing simple clothesâ€" a plain shirt and blue jeans.

"Miss, do you have an appointment here?" The guard asked her. He wanted to see proof that Abigail had a meeting here. The guard assessed her from top to bottom.

SYP Twilight Corp's security became more strict because of the incidents where Nathan was being targeted. He was stabbed in Country F and a hitman tried to assassinate him. Old Man Xu heightened the security around Nathan and his grandson.

"I'm here to see your CEO. Tell him that Abigail is looking for him."

The guard glanced at Abigail strangely. He thought she was crazy. How dare she come here and look for their CEO? The guard saw Nathan in his grumpy mood a while ago. He thought if he let this woman in, Nathan might fire him.

It was unusual for someone who looked so ordinary to come there just to see their CEO without even an appointment.

"I'm sorry, Miss. But our CEO is not in a good mood. Just come back again tomorrow. You can also set an appointment with his secretary before coming here."

Abigail gave him a sharp gaze. She was losing her patience. What she did next was dialed Nathan's number. The phone rang for three seconds before it was answered by Nathan.

"Hello?" Nathan's deep voice was heard from the other line.

"Nate! I'm already here in your building's lobby. However, I can't go to your office. Your guard stopped me here at the entrance."

The other line became silent for a moment. As Abigail waited for Nathan, the guard continued observing her. He shook his head helplessly as he thought Abigail was just bluffing. He didn't believe her when she mentioned Nathan's name.

"Miss, you don't have to pretend that you know our CEO personally. Leave now while I'm still being kind." The guard motioned Abigail to leave, waving his hand in the direction of the entrance.

Abigail exhaled deeply, trying to calm herself. She had the urge to throw this guard on the floor. But she didn't want to create a scene, catching everyone's attention.

'Hmm. Why did Nate become silent? Did he hear me or not?' Abigail checked her phone. Nathan didn't hang up the phone but he was no longer saying a word.

'Is he busy with something?' Abigail mused to herself.

Since she didn't move on her spot, the guard moved closer to her, grabbing her shoulder. He was thinking of guiding her out of the building.

The guard was about to push Abigail out when someone intervened.

"Don't. Touch. Her."

The guard froze the moment he recognized that voice. He turned around only to find their CEO standing next to them. Nathan was looking daggers at him.

The guard was tongue-tied after meeting Nathan's deathly glare. Before he could say a word, Nathan yanked his arm away from Abigail. Then he shifted his gaze to Abigail. There was an indescribable expression on his face.

"Nate..." Abigail mumbled his name, her eyes fixated on him. She could no longer see the guard. Her mind was only focused on Nathan.

Nathan grabbed Abigail's hand and pulled her toward the exclusive elevator. The guard was flabbergasted upon seeing the entangled hands of Nathan and Abigail.

'Oh, Lord. Am I losing my job today?' The guard felt like crying. 'I'm sooo stupid!' He chastised himself. He was afraid that he would get fired after treating Abigail rudely.

Not only the guard but also the other employees present in the lobby were also dumbfounded when they saw their CEO holding a woman's hand.

"Who is that woman?"

"Wait. She looks familiar. I've seen her before. I just don't remember..."

"Oh right. Her face is familiar. Is she an actress?"

"Is that Abigail Scarlett? But she's still hospitalized, right?"

"Our CEO has been seeing women lately. Remember the Lady from Country R? The one whom we thought was his fiancé."

"Hmm. I think we were wrong about our CEO's rumored fiancé. The woman today... seems like our Boss' girlfriend!"

They could no longer see her face since Nathan and Abigail already took the lift. Nathan didn't let go of Abigail's hand. He was holding her until they reached their intended floor.

Ding!

The elevator slid open. Nathan didn't waste any more time as he dragged Abigail to his office. He wanted to be alone with her.

Meanwhile, Abigail just followed Nathan obediently. She just let him pull her, not resisting him.

'Hmm. He went to the lobby personally to fetch me. No wonder he stopped talking on the phone.' Abigail's lips tugged upward into a satisfied smile. She appreciated Nathan's gesture.

When they finally entered Nathan's office, she heard a loud bang behind her. Nathan closed the door and locked it. Before Abigail could react, strong arms caught her, shoving her into the closed door.

Abigail looked up only to meet Nathan's smoldering gaze. She was speechless as her mind went blank. Nathan was so close to her. He was trapping her against that door, pressing her as he held her shoulders tightly. She didn't know if he was mad at her.

"Nate?" She called his name once more.

Hearing her soft voice while calling his name made Nathan's eyes light up with desire. "You came..." Nathan murmured, not breaking their eye-to-eye contact.

Abigail was about to respond when suddenly she was shut up by Nathan's lips! He bent down, capturing her kissable lips. He devoured her soft lips with hot and hungry kisses.

Abigail blinked for a few seconds, trying to absorb what was happening. 'Damn! He is kissing me... again!'

Nathan bit her lower lip when he noticed that Abigail was not responding to him. He inserted his tongue inside her mouth, seeking her tongue. Soon, he brought his hand to her face, rubbing her cheek with his thumb as he urged her to kiss him back.

Nathan's tongue expertly explored her mouth, licking and poking her inner cheeks and tongue. Abigail could no longer take this. She closed her eyes and anchored her hands around his neck, pulling him closer. Her tongue began to wrestle with his, welcoming his every stroke.

Abigail tried to match the intensity of his hot and wet kisses! She felt like drowning in pleasure. Her heart raced further when Nathan deepened the kiss, almost robbing her with air, making her breathless. Nathan was too passionate! And she loved it.

Before they both lost oxygen, Nathan broke the kiss, but he rested his forehead on hers while caressing her cheeks. Abigail gasped some air, trying to steady her breathing.

"Come back to the mansion," Nathan whispered to her. "Stay with us..." he lifted her chin to look her in the eyes.

"How about Helena?" Abigail pouted her lips. She mentioned Helena again.

Nathan frowned, pursing his lips. "What about her?"

"She is your fiancé!" Abigail scowled at him. "You kissed me! You should be responsible for me! Stay away from other women including Helena!"

Nathan just stared at her for a long moment. "But you have Dave. Will you stay away from him?"

"No. Because he is my friend." Abigail promptly responded.

Nathan's expression turned grim. "Are you two-timing us?"

"No. I'm pursuing you right now. Not Dave. But since Helena came into the picture, I'm having second thoughts." Abigail smirked at him, grabbing Nathan's collar.

"She is nothing to me," Nathan replied, snaking his arm around her waist, and pulling her against his body.

"How about me? What am I to you?" Abigail asked Nathan again. She wondered if Nathan's answer would change now.

"The woman who captures my..." Nathan paused for a moment, his eyes scanning her beautiful face. "My son's heart..."
