Abigail was at a loss for words when she heard Mr. Hiroshi.

\'I like him? I love him? No way! He totally misunderstood! I\'m just doing this because of my mission. There is no way I will fall for Nathan!\' Abigail mumbled inwardly, convincing herself. She denied everything Mr. Hiroshi just said a while ago.

Since she was pretending to be Nathan\'s woman, she didn\'t dare correct Mr. Hiroshi\'s wrong assumption. She just smiled awkwardly and nodded her head. "Y-Yes, I will not give up."

\'My lifeline defends on this mission. I can\'t give up unless I truly want to die without getting my revenge. And how about Black Rose? I can\'t leave her behind until I make sure that she will have a good life.\'

"Good. Show him that you are the woman for him, not his ex. You have the looks… and I could tell that you are also smart." Mr. Hiroshi began praising her for her good qualities.

This time, it was Abigail who let out a soft giggle. "Hmm. You are flattering me too much, sir. I know I am pretty. But how do you know if I am smart or not by just looking at me?"

"Because you have emerald eyes just like me. I am smart, so therefore I conclude you are an intelligent woman too…" Mr. Hiroshi stated matter-of-factly with a straight face.

His last remarks brought another peal of laughter from Abigail\'s lips. She couldn\'t help but laugh out loud because of his funny logic. He had a unique way of thinking.

"I\'m Abigail, sir. May I know your name too?" Abigail introduced herself and at the same time, politely asked for Mr. Hiroshi\'s name. She extended her right hand to him for a handshake.

"I\'m Hiroshi," he responded, accepting her hand.

Abigail was taken aback for a moment. She had never imagined that he would tell her his real name. Just a while ago, he looked very reserved. But now, they were comfortably talking to each other.

"Mr. Hiroshi, I\'m pleased to meet you. If you don\'t mind, can I ask you something?" Abigail smiled faintly, staring at him expectantly.

"Go ahead. Just speak your mind. I don\'t mind," Mr. Hiroshi promptly responded, averting his gaze back to the city view.

"I believe that you are not a native citizen here but why do you speak our language very well?" Abigail started a conversation to get to know him more. She was now on her mission mode. She had to befriend this man because Nathan wanted him to be his business partner.

Meanwhile, Mr. Hiroshi chuckled once more. Then he paused for a moment as he glanced from a distance. Abigail saw a hint of longing in his eyes.

"I\'ve been in this country for thirty years… I just came back yesterday because I have an important business to do." Mr. Hiroshi seemed like he had no plan of hiding something from her. He was answering her truthfully despite the fact she was a stranger he just met today.

"Oh. Am I disturbing you now, Mr. Hiroshi?" Abigail bit her lower lip, feeling a little bit guilty.

"Of course, not. I\'m still free. My meeting with someone will be held this afternoon. I got bored in my room so I went here to get some fresh air."

Abigail\'s eyes lit up when she heard that. "Do you want me to tour you around? I am free today. Besides, I don\'t want to see my boyfriend for now. I came here to hide from him." Abigail put on a pitiful look, getting Mr. Hiroshi\'s sympathy.

Another chuckle escaped Mr. Hiroshi\'s mouth. He had never expected that this young woman would volunteer to tour him around the city.

​ "What will you do if your boyfriend sees us together? Why do you want to accompany an old man like me as compared to your boyfriend?" Mr. Hiroshi asked her with a teasing smile on his face.

His expression totally changed after interacting with Abigail. At first, she thought Mr. Hiroshi was not capable of cracking some jokes and he looked serious. But surprisingly, she was wrong to assume that.

\'Hmm. I have nothing to worry about. Nathan will not get mad for this since Mr. Hiroshi is the reason why we came here.\' Abigail thought to herself.

"He will not get mad and he will understand. My boyfriend doesn\'t get jealous… unless I am his ex." Abigail reassured Mr. Hiroshi but she sounded upset and disappointed.

Mr. Hiroshi contemplated for a moment. He looked at his wristwatch. It was already 8:15 am. There was a place he wanted to visit. But his men would not allow him to go around the city without an escort.

In fact, he also sneaked out of his room, leaving without informing his right-hand man. He went to the rooftop to have his private time. He couldn\'t let his emotions show in front of his men, or else, they would see it as his weakness.

He accidentally met this young woman and now, she was offering him to accompany him and tour him around the city. For some unknown reason, looking into her eyes, he couldn\'t refuse her offer.

\'If she is alive… maybe she is a grown lady now just like her. Smart and pretty. Will I be able to find her?\'

"Okay. Shall we go now?" Mr. Hiroshi finally agreed to Abigail\'s suggestion.

Abigail bobbed her head frantically. She felt exhilarated since the person Nathan wanted to meet was now with her. She planned on surprising Nathan. She didn\'t want to inform him about this as she was still upset with him.

"But Mr. Hiroshi, I didn\'t bring a car. Do you want to take a cab with me?" Abigail asked him, smiling sheepishly.

"Sure. I don\'t mind." Mr. Hiroshi looked excited to leave the hotel without the knowledge of his men.

Soon, the two of them left the rooftop, heading to the hotel lobby. Abigail and Mr. Hiroshi tried their best not to catch the attention of the men in black who were roving around the hotel.

Upon getting out of the hotel lobby, the two immediately grabbed a Taxi cab, leaving the hotel. Fifteen minutes after they left, Mr. Hiroshi\'s right-hand man found out that their Clan Leader was not in his room! He went missing! The whole members of Sawada Clan were alerted right away!

Meanwhile, Nathan also noticed that the members of the Sawada Clan were in a panicked mode. He didn\'t know what happened. But he had no time to check it out as he was also searching for Abigail. She suddenly disappeared!

\'Damn! Abigail! Where are you?!\'

Nathan was supposed to make a chance encounter with Mr. Hiroshi today. However, Abigail created another trouble. She left their VIP suite without telling Nathan.

He called her number several times but Abigail ignored his calls. In the end, she even switched off her phone.

"I shouldn\'t have brought her with me," Nathan complained. He was sprinting towards the CCTV control room. When he arrived there, the members of Sawada Clan were already checking the CCTV footage. They were also looking for someone.

Then he heard someone from the inside saying, "It\'s him! He already left the building. But who is the woman with him???!"
