Chapter 60

Perhaps Abigail’s stare was too piercing. The ease Gabriel had when he entered slowly drained away, replaced by a guilty look.

“Answer me,” he snapped, though less aggressively.

Abigail ignored him, her gaze shifting back to Quentin. “Mr. Coley, Halden Group is approaching this partnership with sincerity. You can take a look at our proposal before making a decision.”

Knowing Abigail was angry, Gabriel gave an awkward grin when she brushed him off. Still, he sat down beside her and spoke to Quentin, “You know, she looks pretty professional when she’s all serious like this.”

“Mr. Gibson, I get that you’re going out of your way for your daughter with the bad reputation,” Quentin said dryly. “Too bad she’s…” He didn’t need to finish the sentence.

Gabriel leant closer to Abigail as his voice turned falsely warm. “Abby, even Mr. Coley here gets why I’m doing this. Why can’t you? Would I ever hurt my own daughter?” He added casually, “Oh, your grandpa called me earlier. Guess what he said?”

Quentin said, “The fact is, Ms. Gibson, Halden Group isn’t exactly Celestial Group’s top pick for a partner. If you’re really capable, get that Robinson family spoiled brat to get personally involved in our collaboration. Otherwise, no deal.”

Quentin would love to see Abigail go to Sebastian and get mortified beyond words.

After he left, Gabriel followed Abigail out of the café. “Abby, I’ve got another condition. Since you know Mr. Robinson, hook me up with him. If our family partners with him, you’ll be a hero. Your mom and Stevie will finally think you’ve made it,”

“Gabriel Gibson, are you insane?” The Gibson family’s misplaced confidence was ridiculous to Abigail.
