The jealousy and resentment

Abigail settled down on Christopher's secretary Misha's desk and flipped through the brown diary labeled "schedules for Mr. Sherman."

She carefully checked it and was surprised to discover that Christopher's dates were full till the next few months with meetings, luncheons, and business parties. Among all of this was a brief business trip that he had mentioned to her. It was not written here, though.

Perhaps it had been planned after Misha left.

She realized why he often came home late.

He worked so hard. Being the boss of such a large company was not an easy job.

She shrugged and focused on the day's schedules.

"Ahem… Someone seems to be busy at work."

Abigail raised her head and saw Brad smiling down at her. She returned his smile.

"Good morning, Brad."

"Morning, morning…" He leaned forward, placing his hands on the desk. "How is his mood today?" he asked, his voice as low as a whisper.
