100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Abigail kept pacing back and forth across her room. A few minutes ago, she returned to the guest room with a flustered face. She still couldn\'t believe what had just happened between Nathan and her inside his chamber.

She felt so embarrassed and confused. Why the hell did she let it happen to herself? Getting so intimate with the devil, her very own enemy?! They almost had sex if not for Veronica\'s sudden arrival.

And the most shocking thing to her was that… she liked it and she enjoyed it! Her heart would still race and her stomach fluttered whenever she would recall what transpired in that room.

Since her mind was in shambles, it was already too late when she found out that she left some things in Nathan\'s chambers.

"Fuck! When did I get so stupid?! Did my mind get affected too after transferring my soul to this body?!" Abigail tugged her hair tightly, her eyes looking at her reflection in the large human-sized mirror inside the room.

"I look like sh*t! Damn!"

Her appearance was a great mess– her disheveled hair, her torn shirt, the love bites on her neck and chest… Her chest?!!

Her eyes widened in both horror and disbelief. Her hands that were tugging her hair previously, suddenly moved down, cupping her own breasts.

"Where is… it?! My Br–" Abigail wanted to cry in embarrassment. She wanted to scold herself over and over again for being so damn stupid today.

Only Nathan could make her feel like this. She was used to being in control over things and especially, in control of her actions. But when it comes to Nathan, she often commits mistakes and blunders!

"Aside from Butler Li\'s phone… Of all the things I could have left there… why should it be– Oh Gosh!" Abigail couldn\'t say it out loud. She just wished that the ground would open up right now and swallow her whole!

She wouldn\'t dare go back there and retrieve those things. It was already too late. Veronica changed the guards and added more people to heighten the security outside Nathan\'s chamber.

"Damn! I feel so violated today… my whole being!" Abigail continued lamenting to herself. She was not in the mood now to visit and see her original body.

She slumped her body into the bed, still trying to figure out how she would resolve her concern. She only wished that no one would find the things she accidentally left in that room. If she was lucky, she would try to retrieve them by tomorrow.

For now, she had to take a shower and change her clothes, otherwise, she would keep on thinking about her passionate moment with Nathan a while ago. She badly needed that cold shower to cool her body down. Fortunately, Butler Li prepared a new set of clothes for her before he went home.

After that, she had one more thing left to do.

"I have to check the CCTV recordings and delete the footage that captured me attacking those guards and entering Nathan\'s chambers."

An hour later…

Veronica returned to Nathan\'s chamber only to see him finally awake. He was sitting on the edge of his bed and he looked like he was in a daze.

"Nathan?" She called him but Nathan didn\'t respond. He seemed so lost in his own thoughts. \'What is he thinking?\'

"You are awake now. How do you feel?" Veronica walked towards him with large strides.

Nathan glanced at her absentmindedly. His mind was like wandering off somewhere.

"Nathan? Is there something wrong? Do you feel sick? Let me examine you…" Veronica was about to touch Nathan and check his heartbeat using her stethoscope when he suddenly raised his hand, stopping her from getting closer to him.

"Don\'t touch me! Just stay there!" Nathan yelled at her, feeling agitated.

Veronica was hurt by his reaction. She just wanted to check his condition. She was worried about him. She didn\'t deserve to be yelled at by him.

\'Why is he getting mad at me?! He should vent his anger towards that woman who made him feel sick,\' Veronica complained inwardly. But she still smiled at him, hiding her negative emotions.

"I just want to make sure that you are fine," Veronica softly said, explaining to Nathan. She didn\'t know why he was so grumpy even towards her. Because of this, her hatred for Abigail intensified further. Nathan should be furious at Abigail, not her!

"The woman who poisoned you is being locked up right now in the guest room. We already interrogated her. Though she didn\'t admit her fault. We summoned your Chef and his assistants to testify. I think… that woman intentionally put and mixed peanuts on your food despite the warning Chef Min and others had given her."

Veronica brought up the topic about Abigail. She thought this was the right time to tell him so that Nathan would give Abigail a harsher punishment as he was in a bad mood.

Veronica smiled inwardly when she noticed that Nathan\'s expression darkened further at the mention of Abigail. A deep crease could be seen on his forehead as he clenched his fists.

"Bring her to me!" Nathan had just finished giving his command when another person entered his chamber.

"Master!" Axel called him with his anxious voice. He looked like he was in trouble. Nathan and Veronica glanced at him, giving him a questioning gaze.

Axel extended his hand forward, showing them his phone. And with his panicking voice, he informed them, "Your father, Chairman Xu, called me… He is looking for you. Young Master Ethan is throwing a tantrum at home! He wants you to bring back Miss Abi."

Veronica\'s eyes widened in annoyance when she heard that. \'What?! Why is it that woman is so important to my nephew?!\'

Meanwhile, Nathan just slammed his eyes shut while massaging his temples. With his lazy tone, he said to him while extending his right hand, "Let me talk to my son."

Axel immediately passed the phone to Nathan, letting his master deal and pacify his son.
