Chapter 193
Chapter 193 Miss, Answer the Phone
In the following days, Abigail frequently visited the tea house, bing a regr customer at Josh’s
shop. Once she was finished with her embroidery work for the day, she would head to ‘Serenity’ to
drink tea and brainstorm her designs while indulging in some pastries.
Josh would sit across from her at the table, diligently working on his woodcarvings. Currently, he was
carving a character from an anime, amissioned piece. After some interaction, Abigail noticed that
he had a peculiar work style; he eptedmissions ranging from just single digits to hundreds of
thousands, solely depending on his mood.
Initially, she thought that the tea house might not be very profitable, but she now realized that his
woodwork was renowned online. The tea and pastries were more of an essory to his art, and
carving was his livelihood.
She felt a bit tired from drawing and set down her tablet. So, she watched as he lowered his head and
observed the character in his hands while sipping her tea. Since she wasn’t very familiar with this field,
she couldn’t make much sense of it despite having observed him in his element for at while.
Josh had a mature appearance, resembling that of an old cadre. Yet, his mindset was up-to-date with
the younger generation. He had a broad range of interests, including gaming, anime, and
movies.
I can tell you don’t surf the inte often,” he suddenly said.
When she heard this unexpectedment, she nearly choked on her tea. She suppressed her urge to
cough and replied, “Yes, I don’t pay much attention to things outside the designmunity.”
“Well, that can be a good thing,” he said.
They continued their conversation casually, discussing various topics as the day slowly turned into
night.
As Abigail left the tea house, she looked at the streetlights and suddenly realized that Sean hadn’t
contacted her in several days. She had nned to personally give him the antique puzzle ball, but
since he was infuriated over her giving gifts to others, she decided to drop the idea.
She lowered her head to check her phone and saw that her Uber driver was a few minutes away.
“What the heck, Miss? Why aren’t you answering your phone again?” In L.Moon Studio, Luna was
bing increasingly anxious. She had made over 20 calls to Abigail, all without a response. In the
end, she got so frustrated that she decided to call Kevin.

“Both you and Sean are unbelievable. You call me when you can’t find your bestie, and he calls me
when he can’t find his wife. I might as well resign and be Abigail’s maid!” Kevinined,
clearly irritated by being awakened so early.
“I haven’t been able to reach her sincest night. Did she have another fight with Sean?” she asked.
Kevin, who was snuggling under his nket, muttered, “I suppose. She’s given gifts to all the men she
knows except for him. I imagine they had a big argument. I haven’t heard from Sean in days.”
Regardless of that, she was currently so anxious she couldn’t help but grab her hair and bounce
around in ce. “But I need to contact her urgently!” Lexie had a few days off and wanted to meet
na. Now, with this situation, she was sure Lexie would be angry.
“Miss, I can’t do anything even if you make a fuss here. I’m very sleepy. Find Sean…” he said, followed
by shallow breaths.
“Abigail sent you a gift, right?” she hissed through gritted teeth.
“I know she’s good to me, but I only slept at 3.30AMst night, and it’s only 7.30AM now. Are you trying
to kill me?” He sounded mournful.
“Please, just ask Sean for me, and I won’t bother you anymore,” she pleaded.
“Oh, please. I only received a small griffin pendant. Don’t make me sacrifice my life for it,” he begged
while clutching his nket.
So, it was an even more infuriated Luna who hung up on him. How can he be brothers with Sean when
he’s this timid?
Just as she feltpletely helpless, she received a message from Abigail. I’m learning now, and they
don’t allow me to check my phone frequently to prevent anyone from stealing their techniques. Do you
need anything?”

Luna found this rather odd. In the past, when Abigail learned embroidery and some very difficult
techniques, people were eager for her to promote those techniques everywhere. After all, these
intangible cultural heritage techniques were at risk of being lost. Young people were unwilling to endure
the hardships required to learn them, so the old masters and craftsmen were eager for her to help
promote them and find more apprentices to carry on the traditions.
“Lexie wants to meet you. You need toe back now. You can keep learning those skillster and
hurry back.
“I really can’t make it back. I’ll exin it to you when I get back. It’s hard to exin through text.
Luna couldn’t fathom what kind of technique Abigail needed to be so secretive. Soon, she received
several images of embroidery designs from Abigail, and her eyes lit up when she saw
them.

‘I’ll try to talk to her. After all, it’s a dress worth 1.5 million; perhaps she wants to give Lexie a surprise,
so she couldn’t reveal it yet.
At the same time, inside a pitch-ck room with metal walls, a man wearing a cap and a face. mask
ced Abigail’s phone down and answered another call.
“Is the smuggling route confirmed? We’ll sell the merchandise directly at the farthest industrial park.
You can handle it as you see fit. Don’t worry. The merchandise is of excellent quality. She has delicate
skin, and she’s been married before, experienced enough to handle all of you.”
Abigail, still dazed, struggled toprehend the words due to her disoriented state. She felt utterly
drained, and herst memory was getting into a cab. When she woke up, it was like this.
The man nced at the motionless Abigail on the ground and couldn’t help but smirk. We have
invested significant time and effort, creating countless seemingly coincidental encounters. Finally, we
captured her stealthily.
Is the video ready yet? If Sean bes suspicious, our smuggling operation could fail.”
