Revenge After Prison Never Forgiven (Abigail) novel Chapter 321

Leaning against the elevator wall, Sebastian said flatly, “What I think won’t change anything”

Abigail silently agreed v

d with his words. She knew she had to swallow the truth and keep it buried, no matter how unfair it felt.

As they stepped out of the elevator, Abigail began to share what life was like in prison with Sebastian, “When I was there, every single thing had to be done at the exact same time each day.

“The only moments Lever really felt the passage of time were during outdoor breaks or rest periods

Sebastian slowed his stops and turned his head naturally toward her. He noticed that she wore no makeup with no visible en

Abigail added, “Whenever I was studying language and whenever my mind was filled with something that didn’t belong to that place, was still human, and I was still alive.”

Sebastian’s lips pressed into a thin line. It was a long while before he said in a low voice, “You’ve got talent for this. At Halden Group, you’ll have plenty of

chances to get even better.”

“Thank

you. I

I do my best,” replied Abigail

She was truly grateful–not just for his lack of prejudice, but for giving her the opportunity to prove herself

Getting out of the elevator, they returned to their own rooms.

Abigail noticed something had shifted within her. She couldn’t quite put a name to it, only that the tension she’d been carrying since leaving prison had lessened. There was a bit more ease in her chest

The hotel room she stayed in was far bigger and much more beautiful than her own room in Gibson Villa.

Abigail walked over to the bed and pressed her palm into the mattress. It felt incredibly soft. The whole room had imesistible coziness, the kind that made her want to collapse into sleep in an instant. Just one look could make her feel wrapped in a dream.

She recalled Sebastian mentioning that Jeremiah had prepared some essentials for the trip. Scanning the room, she spotted some shopping bags placed on the armchair by the window, and she walked over.

The entire chair was covered with bags. When she caught sight of the luxury brand logos printed on the bags, she hesitated and pulled her hand back.

Jeremiah even bought two sets of underwear. From top to bottom, that must’ve cost a fortune,’ she thought

Abigail had never worn anything so expensive, but she remembered Daniella once telling her that luxury clothes weren’t meant to be worn on since they couldn’t be washed.

Most people would just wear them a few times and send them off to high–end boutiques for special treatment, and after that, they’d just stay in the

closet.

Abigail thought about contacting Jeremiah to return everything and replace them with something more ordinary, but she didn’t have his number.

Besides, she considered taking a shower, but she didn’t bring any clothes to change into

Just as she was feeling stuck, her phone buzzed. If was a message from Sebastian: If the clothes or shoes don’t fit, let me know, I have someone replace them.]

She stared at the message, lost in thought it’s strange. Why is Sebastian being so nice to me? Why is he handing these things himself?”

Writing code with her phone had imitations. She couldn’t even test whether her code would run properly without errors on a real system.

Abigail got up and walked to the entrance. When she opened the door, she saw Jackson standing there. She asked, “What’s up?

“It’s lunchtime. You need someone to drag you out of bed?” Jackson replied, clearly annoyed.

Abigail thought the food would be delivered to the room. Jackson’s severe tone made her a bit embarrassed, and she replied, “thought the staff would send the food to my room.”

Jackson scowled and turned to leave, but not before throwing another jab. “You could’ve asked first, couldn’t you? You need to remember–you’re an employee. You should follow your boss’s schedule. Don’t just passively wait for instructions”

“I’m sorry. I will keep that in mind,” Abigail said. Though she was scolded, she wasn’t angry at all. In fact, she felt like Jackson was teaching her something important about workplace behavior.

His expression turned slightly dark as he thought, ‘Now that she wears designer clothes, she looks like an executive. Makes it feel like I’m the only one here doing grunt work.”

They arrived at the restaurant on the second floor. Abigail spotted Sebastian already seated by the window. He had removed both his mask, and sunglasses.

As Abigail approached, she realized he was wearing a prosthetic face mask–one crafted to match his skin tone perfectly. It wasn’t oby ous from afar, but upc
