The Spare Wife

Chapter 288 Abigail Stood up for Anthony

Anthony’s smile had a hint of sarcasm. Then, he sipped his wine and told Abigail, “I heard that Eric is genuinely courting you. Aren’t you going to consider it?” With these words, he effectively shredded Jake’s misplaced self–confidence into pieces.

“Well, I’m in Pendorf, and he’s in Capitalis. If I were to consider someone, it would be someone in Pendorf,” Abigail replied. She appreciated Anthony for helping her. After all, she didn’t enjoy engaging in trivial conversations like this, especially since she was still concerned about her grandmother’s situation and had no interest in talking to them.

“It’s kind of a disadvantage, but you’re on an upward trajectory in your career right now. You have a constant stream of invitations. Moreover, the fame you gained from Lexie Chambers has a time limit. You need to focus on your career,” Anthony said slowly, steering the conversation toward their professor.

Abigail had mixed feelings toward Anthony. On one hand, she resented him because he had lied to her. However, he looked out for her tonight, saving her from much trouble. Moreover, he had been a caring senior during their school days. Thus, with everyone now focused on their careers,

personal interests often took precedence, which was the reality of the world.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that the past might not be as severe as she had initially thought. Even among friends, considerations for one’s interests often prevailed in this world.

After a few rounds of drinks, Abigail excused herself to go to the restroom. Upon returning from the washroom, she spotted Jake, who seemed to be waiting for her. However, she wasn’t particularly keen on talking with him as he appeared cunning. Plus, she didn’t resonate with his way of thinking.

“I’m not joking around, Abigail. I know I can’t compare to a big star like Eric, but think about it. How many beautiful women does he come into contact with every day? Affairs between actors on set are quite common. He’s not suitable for you.” Jake was straightforward in his approach.
