Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 43

Just as Kevin thought that Sean was going to hang up, Sean’s voice came

through the speakers again. “I’ll invest 30 million into the show. Find a reliable

and prominent leader in the industry to boost the show’s credibility.”

The sudden change in Sean’s attitude almost made Kevin assume he had

fallen into a drunken stupor and was hearing things. The moment he heard

about the investment of 30 million, his eyes began to gleam.

“You got it, man. I’ll make all the arrangements.”

After hanging up, Kevin’s friends kept him occupied with more drinks. It was

after 3.00AM when he finally stumbled out of the room.

The next morning, Kevin was woken up by his alarm. He groggily stuck his

hand out from under the covers and looked around for his phone. Once he

found it, he made a call to his assistant, Zoe Cox.

“Yes, Mr. Stewart?” A crisp, professional voice rang out.

“Did the finance department receive a sum to be invested into Top

Designer?”

Kevin massaged his aching temple as he asked without even opening his

eyes.

Zoe sounded excited as she swiftly replied, “We received 30 million from

Graham International this morning.”

“Good. Inform the public relations department to carry out the investor’s

request. Tell them that they must convince Nolan Jefferson to join Top

Designer by 3.00PM today. Offer him three times his usual asking price to get

him to be the chief mentor for the show.”

After giving a list of instructions to Zoe, Kevin yawned, tossed his phone aside,

and went back to sleep.

Zoe stared at her phone in a daze. Nolan Jefferson was a key figure in the

fashion industry. He graduated from one of the top three most illustrious Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

universities and became a professor at a young age. It was hard for anyone

to invite him. The amount that Kevin offered was more than what an ordinary

person could earn in their entire lifetime.

She stared at her phone screen as she recalled the news she read on Twitter

about the future wife of Graham International’s president.

Sean was generously investing 30 million into the show. That only made Zoe

even more convinced that her assumption was true.

Zoe was only interning as an assistant at East Joy Talent. Meanwhile, Sabrina

was a highly-rated manager in the company. If I’m able to get her help, I’ll

get promoted really soon…

With this thought in mind, Zoe no longer hesitated. She quickly used her work

resources to find Sabrina’s number and made the call.

“Hello.” Sabrina’s professional voice rang out.

Zoe clutched her phone excitedly as she introduced herself.

“Why are you calling?” Sabrina wasn’t interested in Zoe’s introduction.

Zoe wasn’t flustered. She swiftly informed Sabrina about the amount that

Graham International had invested in Top Designer.

Upon hearing about the 30 million, Sabrina’s eyes lit up. Although she had

been in charge of many celebrities before, it was her first time being in

charge of one who could bring in so much capital with her when she joined

such projects.

“Who’s in charge of arranging the teams for the program?”

Sabrina was in an excellent mood now, but her voice remained as calm as

ever as if this was a regular occurrence for her.

“Another assistant and I are in charge,” Zoe answered truthfully.

“Please try your best to arrange for Alana to team up with Joan. Do you think

that’s possible?”

Luna nudged Abigail somewhat anxiously as she murmured, “Are you sure

you want me to act like I’m Alana? What if they ask me to come up with a

design right on the spot?”

Abigail patted Luna’s hand gently.

“It’s too late to change anything now. We’ll cross that bridge when we come

to it.”

Abigail was completely calm. Luna took a deep breath and forgot about her

childish notion of wanting to get out of the car and running off.

The cameraman who was sitting in the front passenger seat pointed his lens

at the back seat and started filming the two women. Unused to it, Luna tried

to stop him.

“We haven’t even reached the filming location yet. Why have you started

filming?”

“Haven’t you seen shows like these before? I’m just taking some B-roll

footage.”

The cameraman’s eyes flashed with displeasure. Throughout the ride thus

far, the two women hadn’t even bothered to smile into the camera.
