Aber sitting for a while, she pulled her gare away and looked at the contracts and documents piled high on her desk, an involuntary sigh escaping her lips.

Abigail wasn’t familiar with the day to day operations of the company, but when it came to project content–especially anything Al related–she understood it instantly, Honestly, she thought, I’m probably a better coder than the head of BEO

Aher sitting quietly for a while, she picked up the phone and dialed the internal line. Once it connected, she said, “Lila, book a private dining mom at a five–star hotel for tonight. Make sure it’s spacious. I’m hosting a dinner for our clients.”

Though multiple partners threatened to sue Gibson Group, Abigail remained convinced the situation was salvageable.

“On it,” Lila responded immediately. She was Wyatt’s assistant, but she was still new and couldn’t handle anything important yet.

Abigail gave a noncommittal hum, letting the conversation lapse into silence. She had honestly thought that now that they weren’t working on a project together, he’d stop being in touch with her altogether.

When they arrived at the hotel, Lila was already waiting outside the private dining room. As Abigail, Sebastian, and James approached, Lila leaned in and said quietly, “Only three clients showed up. The other five called to say something came up at the last minute.”

Abigail had Lila reserve a table for ten, so the meals couldn’t be canceled or refunded even if fewer people turned up. Moreover, they hadn’t an bothered to notify her directly, but instead chose to inform her assistant.
