The Spare Wife

Abigail and Sean arrived at the restaurant Howard reserved that night. Howard was even more scared when he saw Sean. He gave the menu to them and said nothing.

Abigail put the menu down and looked at Howard. “We’re not here to eat. I know you know that.”

Howard nodded, feeling dejected. Abigail leaned back on her chair while Sean looked through the menu quietly, not joining the conversation.

“I did. If the worst comes to worst, I’ll resign and be a regular shareholder.” The other shareholders had been bombarding him with messages. They had talked about it.

The more successful a brand is, the more its reputation will be ruined by scandals. It’ll ruin them.” Abigail just wanted to make sure L.Moon was fine. If Howard did anything stupid like this again, she’d leave him for dead. After all, L.Moon had gained enough fame thanks to Fairy Meadow. They could make a
