Chapter 366 We’re Here to Go Mountain Climbing
After reading the fan’s story, Abigail involuntarily shifted her gaze toward Eric.
Their eyes met.
Just then, two more people approached them.
Abigail noticed that they were standing very close to her. She raised her eyes and looked over, only to unexpectedly meet Sean’s mocking gaze.
Kevin poked his head out from beside the man, his almond-shaped eyes crinkled in a smile. “Ms. Quinn, what were you talking about with Mr. Davidson? You seemed so engrossed in your
conversation.”
“Nothing. What are you doing here?” Abigail couldn’t help feeling that this was too much of a coincidence.
“Can’t we come to Capitalis?” Sean asked her in an unfriendly tone.
Abigail moved a couple of steps aside, ignoring him.
Eric put his phone away and looked at Sean, asking, “It’s Mr. Stewart whom Ms. Quinn was asking. Why are you so angry, Mr. Graham?”
“It’s Ms. Quinn whom I was asking. Why are you in such a hurry to defend her, Mr. Davidson? Seems like you haven’t learned your lesson from the trouble you caused last time,” Sean replied. before turning his gaze toward the elevator. He raised his chin slightly, displaying an attitude of complete disdain.
Scoffing, Abigail mocked, “It’s Mr. Stewart whom I was asking. Mr. Graham, before you blame someone for being nosy, you should take a look at who started it in the first place.”
Kevin laughed so hard that his shoulders were trembling. “So, whose fault is it in the end?” he asked her with a playful smile.
Abigail smiled back at him. “What do you think?”
Sean shot a glance at her. “Judging from what you say, it seems that my friend shouldn’t have spoken, is it?”
Abigail sensed his hostility toward her. “I haven’t said anything. If you insist on thinking that way, I can do nothing about it,” she muttered, her expression cold as she turned to look at the elevator as well.
Just then, the elevator stopped on the first floor, and the people inside came out of it.

Seeing some of them walk out in a hurry, Eric immediately pulled Abigail aside. Sure enough, a man talking on the phone hurriedly walked out and bumped into his shoulder. The impact caused Eric to stagger a few steps back, and Abigail quickly supported him.
Sean’s face became sullen when he saw her hand clasp visibly.
arm, and his expression darkened
“Sorry!” The man talking on the phone quickly apologized to Eric before rushing off.
“Are you okay?” Abigail asked with concern when she saw Eric massage his shoulder. Had he not shielded her from the man, she might have been knocked to the ground as she was in high heels, giving Sean a chance to mock her.
“I’m fine, Eric replied as he gave her a gentle smile.
Kevin entered the elevator. Seeing that Sean had yet to enter, he urged, “Come on in.”
Sean looked at him with indifference. “What’s the hurry?” He entered the elevator only after Abigail and Eric had gone in.
The elevator wasn’t spacious, but there was a clear divide between them. Abigail and Eric stood. on the left side, whereas Sean and Kevin stood on the right.
“Ms. Quinn, are you here in Capitalis for a potential collaboration?” Kevin asked Abigail with a big smile as he was feeling rather bored at the moment,
“Yeah,” she replied. At first, she wanted to ask Kevin what he and Sean were doing here, but considering Sean’s present behavior, she decided not to bother.
“Mr. Graham and I are here to go mountain climbing-ouch!” Kevin’s reply was cut short when Sean stepped on his foot. He moved away from the man and gave Abigail an embarrassed smile.
“Aren’t there mountains to climb in Pendorf?” Eric asked.
“Why do we need your permission to go mountain climbing wherever we want?” Sean asked him back nonchalantly.
Abigail couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Just say whatever you want. Why drag me into this?”
“Ha!” Sean let out another sneer.
The standoff between both sides only ended when they got out of the elevator.
As Eric and Abigail went to their hotel rooms together, Eric muttered quietly, “Mr. Graham really seems to be in a foul mood today.”
“Let’s not mind him,” Abigail muttered, seething with exasperation. “Our immediate concern now is with the production team. If there really are so many dark secrets, can we quit the show now

before it’s too late?”
Eric looked at her solemnly as he commented, “We’ll have to pay a hefty penalty for breach of contract, and besides, we don’t even know if what that fan said is true or not.”
Abigail let out a sigh without saying a word.
Eric continued, “The production team has already announced our collaboration, so it’d be difficult to back out now. This show has a huge fan following; if we quit it prematurely, we’ll be accused of throwing our weight around.”
“Let’s wait and see what happens next, then,” Abigail said in resignation.
Eric took out his phone and did some online searching.
Abigail also searched the video platforms she frequented for anything related, but she didn’t spot. anything negative. “There are no related videos on any video platform either,” she said to Eric.
“I’ve already had my talent agent look into it for me, but it’s okay. If there really is an issue, I’ll stand by you, Eric announced while looking at her sincerely.
“Thank you, but if there are any issues, I’ll handle them myself. I hope you can trust me; I’m not someone incapable of doing anything. It’s getting late, so I’m heading back to my room now.” And with that, Abigail walked toward the door.
Eric walked her to the door with a satisfied smile that he couldn’t suppress. In any case, I’m already very happy to be traveling with her again. No matter what happens on the show, I’ll shield her from it. I’ll never let her get hurt in the slightest,
