Book:t9 Published:2024-5-1

After moments of busying, the long queue was finally gone, a relieve for Abigail Hanson. It was almost noon already, and she didn’t have any breaks since four in the morning, she can feel the tiredness already.
“Will.” She looked up at the man who was looking at her, waked him up embarrassingly with her cheeks flushed again. “Don’t do this anymore, it isn’t good.” Even it was just blame, but when it came out from her mouth, it sounded so soft which made it hard for someone to violate.
Will scratched his head, feeling embraced of what he just did, but he cannot help himself with paying attention on her beauty.
He looked discontented and flung his hand, bringing up the old stuff again. “Abigail, as I said before, there is totally no needs for you to work such hardly, I could support your living and your sister’s too. But you never listened to me and bother selling fish, such a tough job.”
Abigail Hanson rubbed her temple with her head aching, she had heard something like this from Will for far too many times already.
“Will, I am capable in supporting mine and my sister’s living. Look, isn’t everything fine now? My sister has graduated from high school already, just waiting for offers from universities, and the business of the fish stall is getting better as well, nothing is bothering me. Contrariwise, you can’t just keep thinking about the protection rackets.”
Will smiled with embarrassment, his father owns this market and he used to rely on his dad’s status to demand protection rackets from the stores.
Immediately, he took something out from the pocket of his jeans and showed it to Abigail Hanson. “Abigail, that’s a long time ago already, that’s no longer who am I already. Look, this my student document in the night school, I knew you applied to study design in the night school, so did I.”
Abigail Hanson’s face relaxed for a bit and looked at his student document satisfyingly, nodded her head but started shaking her head very soon and said,” Will, everyone has their own interest and strength, how could you applied studying design just because I did?”
Will scratched his head again, he likes doing it when he feels embarrassed. But very soon, he shook his head and said,” Abigail, you applied for jewelry design and I applied for architecture design, they are not the same.”
He didn’t feel relax and put his student document back into his pocket until Abigail Hanson looked pleased and nodded her head.
“I’m truly pleased to see you making progress,” Abigail Hanson said sincerely.
“Where did you buy this, Abigail. It looks so gorgeous, must have costed you a lot,” An obese woman who owns a seafood stall came over and said.
Abigail nodded politely towards her and said, “No, it doesn’t… I designed and crafted it.”
“Oh wow, it’s really so beautiful,” praised the owner while staring straight at Abigail’s neckless.
“If you like it, I can make one for you,” said Abigail passionately. The owner was elated and kept praising her, “Abigail, you are really so talented and clever. All my friends ask about the one you gave me last time, that in which superior market did I buy it, they even asked does it cost several hundred pounds. I told them you designed it and they ended up all wanting one. But you are too busy, so I didn’t bother asking you.”
“It’s alright,” said Abigail softly, feeling delightful for others liking her designs, “If they wish, I can tailor-make for them.”
