100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Thirty-Two…

~~*****~~

Cherry was still overwhelmed since she finally got to see Phantomflake after two years. Nothing changed in her appearance. She was glad that the Syphiruz Mafia kept her alive. Abigail already explained to Cherry the current condition of Phantomflake.

She has been in a coma for two years now. The Supreme Leader of the Syphiruz Mafia didn't harm her. Instead, he made sure that Phantomflake would be taken care of by the doctors and nurses of their Medical Facility.

"What's wrong with her? Why is it her right hand wrapped in a bandage?" Cherry was going to check Phantomflake's body but Abigail stopped her. She didn't want Cherry to worry. Just like Abigail, Phantomflake received the same injury when she was shot by the three bullets.

"The doctor advised us not to touch the covered areas of her body. She got some allergic reactions from her previous medicines given by the Red Dragon Mafia," Abigail said as an alibi, blaming the Red Dragon Mafia. Besides, it was true that the Red Dragon Mafia was the main reason she got hurt.

Cherry didn't ask further. She just obediently nodded her head, retreating her hand. She moved it on Phantomflake's hand, squeezing her palm. She felt so warm.

"Thank you, Miss Abi. Because of you, I was reunited with Sis Phantom!" A grateful look flashed through her eyes as she glanced at Abigail.

"It's my pleasure. I promised her… I will protect you. So please, make up your mind now. Work for Nathan Sparks. Phantomflake is now under his protection. I guarantee you. He will do everything just to cure her." Abigail began to convince Cherry.

"Alright. I agree. I will work for Nathan Sparks… as long as he will allow me to take good care of Sis Phantom." There was excitement in her voice when she said those words. She didn't want to leave Phantomflake's side.

Abigail just giggled. She could see how happy Cherry was at this moment. "Yes. Don't worry. Nathan will surely agree."

"By the way, Miss Abi… Does Nathan know that she is an assassin?" For a moment, Cherry was scared that Nathan would hand them over to the police. He just sent her to prison yesterday. What if he would do it again? And this time, Phantomflake might also get involved.

Abigail let out another soft giggle. She walked closer to Cherry and patted her back. "Don't overthink. As long as I'm here, Nathan will not lay a finger on either one of you." There was a hint of reassurance in her every word.

"Whoa… Miss Abi… can you tell me honestly… Are you and Boss Nathan in a relationship? Did he confess to you already?"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Abigail choked the moment she heard Cherry's last remarks.

"Hey, are you okay?" Cherry asked her innocently. But her lips curled up into a teasing smile when they met each other's gaze.

Abigail didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Between us, I should be the one confessing to him. I am the one who is chasing after his affection. Not the other way around." Abigail corrected Cherry's wrong assumption. "We are not in a relationship yet."

"Yes… Not yet. But I feel like the two of you are attracted to each other. He was so worried about you when you got hurt." Cherry nudged Abigail's shoulder as she kept teasing her.

Abigail just raised her eyebrow and said, "We are still far from your expectation. Hmm. But I will work hard! I only have 68 Days left before my mission ends."

"Huh? 68 Days left? What mission?" Abigail had a slip of a tongue so Cherry heard her.

Abigail cursed herself inwardly. She didn't mean to say those words. She smiled at her sheepishly and came up with a good alibi. "Hmm. Oh, it's nothing. It's my personal goal. I put a timeframe so that I can monitor my progress."

"What goal?" Cherry asked her again. She was curious about Abigail's mission.

"Hmm. My goal is to make Nathan Sparks fall for me," Abigail could no longer stand lying to Black Rose. She already lied several times for Cherry's sake. This time she wanted to share this with her, though she would have to omit some details.

'I can't tell her that I'm Phantomflake and I'm on a mission of making Nathan fall for me. And if I fail… death will be my punishment. Sigh. I feel like I am a terminally ill patient, waiting for my death to come.'

Abigail was looking troubled and problematic when Cherry's laughter echoed inside the ward. She didn't expect Abigail was very passionate once in love. She was bold enough to woo a guy. Well, she couldn't blame her. Nathan Sparks was so handsome.

"So your type is a devilish beauty. He suits your taste. You are very fierce. I hope both of you will end up together." Cherry rubbed her palm together as if she was wishing in front of a shooting star.

Abigail could only smile. She didn't want to deny it. Nathan was indeed her type. He was so smart, gorgeous, and hot. The only disappointment she had for him was that… Nathan couldn't distinguish who was the real Shining Star.

"Sigh. He is dumb and foolish sometimes," Abigail lamented, heaving a deep sigh.

"Haha! Why?" Cherry watched Abigail in amusement. She couldn't believe that this woman had the guts to call Nathan Sparks dumb and foolish.

"Because I think… he fell for the wrong woman!" Abigail stated matter-of-factly. Deep inside her heart, she wondered if she had met him before Monica did, would Nathan fall for her as well?

Abigail tried to assess her inner feelings. Would she fall for Nathan? Would she give herself a chance to be with a guy like him? Falling in love with someone didn't cross her mind before. But now, she couldn't help but marvel… 'If I met him sooner, could we end up being together, and… Ethan could be our son…'

Abigail's cheeks were burned in embarrassment because of her wishful thinking. She immediately shook her head and pushed the thoughts to the back of her mind. 'Damn! What am I thinking? This is so embarrassing! Clear your mind, Phantomflake!'
