Chapter 51: You Did the Right Thing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Audrey pushed open the door, her gaze immediately met Abner, seated on the other side of the room with a laptop in front of him.

Audrey’s lips twitched slightly as she hesitantly called out, “Brother.” Abner’s expression froze.

Audrey’s demeanor resembled one of his company’s apprehensive subordinates, trembling with fear and forcing a strained smile. It was a clear manifestation of her nervousness.

Was he really that scary?

He had explicitly told her that he wouldn’t scold her and simply wanted to understand the situation.

Why was she still so terrified?

In response, Abner nodded at Audrey. “Please, have a seat.’

Audrey carefully moved over and adjusted the chair opposite Abner before sitting down.

Abner couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness. He even began to wonder if Audrey was frightened because he rarely smiled.

She had seemed quite at ease with Eric.

Forget it. Eric’s cheerful personality was undoubtedly more amiable and approachable.

Audrey finally settled into her seat and looked up at Abner, cautiously addressing him, “Brother, what would you like to know?”

Abner didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he stood up abruptly and went to the cabinet where his briefcase was stored. Retrieving the briefcase, he took out a piece of dark chocolate.

Audrey’s gaze remained fixed on him throughout the process. When she saw him pull out the chocolate, she was taken aback.

[Brother ate quite a few snacks earlier. Yet, there’s a piece of chocolate in his briefcase. Could it be that Brother has a sweet tooth? Despite his reserved nature, he seems to enjoy sweet things. I find that rather adorable.]

Abner closed his eyes slightly. He was speechless.

In fact, the chocolate in his hand felt hot.

Under Audrey’s curious gaze, Abner slowly returned to his seat. After sitting down, he extended the piece of chocolate towards her. “The secretary placed it there this morning,” Abner explained.

Audrey looked surprised. “For me?”

Abner nodded. “They say eating something sweet can help relax people and ease their nervousness.”

Audrey reached out to take it in a daze. “Thank you, Big Brother.”

[Brother, can you tell I’m nervous? Am I that obvious?]

A faint smile played at the corners of Abner’s lips. He was almost tempted to tell her directly that yes, it was quite obvious.

Audrey tore open the chocolate packaging and took a bite, savoring it in her mouth.

The chocolate was sweet and fragrant, and Audrey’s eyes brightened as she examined the wrapping paper more closely, making a mental note of the chocolate brand.

Although Abner’s words lacked scientific evidence, Audrey did indeed feel less nervous than before.

Abner didn’t rush to speak. He waited for her to finish the chocolate before gently inquiring, “Did Jerry cause trouble for you again?”

Audrey looked up in surprise. She hadn’t expected Abner to ask this. She had assumed he would inquire if she had done something to Jerry.

Despite the similarity in their inquiries, Abner’s question made Audrey feel like he was thinking from her perspective.

Audrey was touched, and her anxiety immediately dissipated. However, her eyes began to redden.

People who had spent years in the entertainment industry were no strangers to criticism or misunderstanding, but they found it difficult to withstand this

kind of silent concern.

Seeing her eyes welling up, Abner’s heart tightened. Fearing his tone had been too harsh, he softened his voice and said, “I’m not blaming you. I just want to understand the situation. You need to tell me everything, Audrey, so I can help you.”

Audrey sniffled and tried to hold back her tears. She cleared her throat before recounting what had happened.

Abner listened without a word.

When Audrey mentioned that she had messaged Linda’s sister, Tina, she cautiously glanced at Abner.

When Abner heard her say that she had sent Tina a message, he knew what she wanted to do.

Abner, realizing that Audrey was observing his expression, found it amusing.

[Brother, do you think I’m ruthless? But I can’t let others push me around.

When prevention fails, I have to stand up for myself.]

Abner noticed the words above her head and raised an eyebrow slightly. “You did the right thing.”

“Eh?” Audrey was baffled.

Was this a praiseworthy behavior?
