Chapter 2
Abigail’s voice was crisp and clear, and her eyes were determined, but after
she said those words, Sean’s phone started ringing. He immediately whisked
out his cell phone, checked the caller ID, and frowned in concern before
picking up. “What happened?”
She couldn’t hear what the person on the phone said, but he replied, “I’ll be
right there.” Then, he left the bedroom without even so much as a glance at
Abigail.
A snort escaped her lips, but she said nothing as she decided to forgo sleep
for tonight. Then, she packed her stuff, printed out the divorce agreement,
and swiftly signed her name. Then, she placed them on the coffee table in
the living room along with a few cards and left their marital home.
Luna crossed her long legs as she leaned casually against the hood of the
car and straightened herself. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets in
surprise when she saw Abigail coming with just a tiny piece of luggage. “Are
you serious? That’s all of your belongings?”

Abigail deftly placed her luggage into the car trunk and climbed into the
driver’s seat. “All those are unnecessary things. At least, I’m free now,” she
declared, pretending to be relaxed.
“Did you really divorce him?”
Luna still sounded doubtful, but Abigail shrugged nonchalantly. “I’m done with
love and finally going to live my own life now.”
Luna didn’t question Abigail further. Instead, she turned the steering wheel
and cursed, “Damn it. Sean Graham is so rich. You should at least get a few
hundred million in assets for the divorce!”
Abigail pursed her lips indifferently. “His empire is his asset before marriage,
and I have no interest in coveting that.”
Frankly, Sean was a generous person when it came to money. If their
properties were strictly and legally divided, she would get way more than a
few hundred million, but it was never money that she wanted right from the
beginning.

Meanwhile, Luna hurriedly changed the topic the moment she fell silent. “It’s
great that you finally divorced him. We have a stack of orders in the studio
and my back is almost breaking from apologizing to our customers for the
delayed delivery. You truly have perfect timing. Otherwise, it’s not fair for me
to be the only busy bee! It’s gotten so bad that people are already thinking
that I’m the sole owner of the studio.”
Abigail teamed up with Luna to set up their own fashion studio and named it
LMoon right after she graduated, which was an amalgamation of the last
letter of her name and the meaning of Luna’s name, pronounced as
‘elle–moon‘,
With the combined efforts of a marketing genius and a design genius, their
studio took off quickly. Alas, when Abigail was at the peak of her career, she
chose to marry Sean and became a housewife, leaving Luna to take care of
LMoon while she only came up with the designs. She essentially placed her
career on the back burner all for the sake of an unhappy marriage.
Still, Luna succeeded in spending just a few years transforming LMoon into a

high–fashion private clothing designer studio using only her dedication and
talent.
As the only designer and half–owner of L.Moon, Abigail was rebranded as ace
designer, Alana, by Luna and was renowned amongst the upper class.
Besides, it was a fact that she didn’t receive any monetary benefit from Sean
as per their divorce contract. So, the next thing she had to consider was her
livelihood.
Initially, she wanted to return to work at the studio and was stunned to hear
from Luna that they had several delayed orders. “Didn’t I pass a lot of designs
to you before this? Why do we still have delayed orders?”
Luna’s head throbbed at the mention of this. “You have no idea how difficult it
is to please those upper–class ladies and celebrities. The designs should be
different and so should the colors, so basically, we can only produce one
piece out of every design. The designs you gave me last time were only
enough for the previous orders. I got a little greedy and accepted a few
more…” she trailed off, pinching her fingertips together to show a tiny amount.

“Only a little more.”
“How many is a little more?” Abigail pressed on, highly concerned.
* 62%
Luna chuckled sheepishly. “Only… sixty–six orders more.” Then, she paused
momentarily and added in a voice much weaker than before, “Gowns.”
Abigail breathed in deeply at the absolutely outrageous statement coming
out of Luna’s lips. At first, she was contemplating where she should stay, but
from the looks of it, she should just consider staying in the studio. With
sixty–six orders, she needed at least two months even if she could come up
with one design a day. Furthermore, she had to compare the details and
prepare the materials… Dear Lord, she already had a good feeling that she
wouldn’t have any time to rest until the end of the year.
She slumped into the backrest of the seat and quickly realized that she had
drawn too few designs in the years when she was married. “Luna, it’s been
hard on you for the past few years.”
Luna answered nonchalantly, “Hey, what’s hard work between friends.

Moreover, my work would be all for naught without your designs. Let’s work
together from now, okay? Forget everything else, just the throng of fresh
blood in the entertainment industry is better looking than Sean Graham. Not
only are they good–looking, but they’re also talented!” At the mention of this,
she couldn’t help but feel indignant. She had never been more serious in her
life as she vowed, “One day, I’ll f*cking make that sc*mbag kneel in front of
you and beg you to return to him!”
Abigail revealed the only genuine smile she had since yesterday.
Unfortunately, when she heard that name, Sean’s face haunted her mind
again. Yet, even though he was an absolute *sshole, he didn’t abuse her. So,
in a weird way, he could have been way worse.
Plus, she knew full well that he only had Joan in his heart and couldn’t wait to
get rid of her, whom he regarded as a mere pebble. Beg me to return? That’s
impossible, she thought in exasperation.
Thus, she shot a glance at Luna as she asked, “Why don’t you look forward to
something better for me?” Because a jerk like Sean is someone I never want

to have contact with again, she finished in her head.
L.Moon was situated in the old streets of Pendorf. They started out from just
one shop, but now it had spanned over several shops. In fact, it was more This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
than four hundred square feet wide on the inside. They had hired about eight
shop assistants alone just to maintain their clientele.
Luna rushed to a business meeting after dropping Abigail off at the studio
and informed her, “A big client may drop by in the next few days. They would
like to order a few custom–made gowns for their celebrities in the long term
and booked the appointment a long time ago. I have to say, I feel a great
deal more confident now that you’re here.”
“Oh, hush now. Stop worrying and just go. You can leave these things to me in
the future.”
There was a special lounge on the second floor, and as soon as Abigail had
unpacked her luggage and made a temporary accommodation for herself,
she slipped into working mode after the assistant brought her the customers‘
orders. It was only through this way that she could forget about her divorce

for the time being.
She was finally finished with
the urgent designs after working endlessly for three whole days. Once she was done, she immediately
sent them to create
the samples. Just when she was ready to get some rest, an assistant rushed
upstairs and cried piteously, “Abigail, there’s a customer downstairs that we
can’t handle.”
