Chapter 37: If We Meet Again
As the flight attendant came to take away the dishes, Abigail glanced at Jamal curiously as she signed. [You must be rich if you are flying first class and have an assistant, right?]
Jamal smiled. "I suppose so. Why?"
Abigail hesitated, debating whether she should tell him the truth about herself. But then, she decided against it.
She didn’t want to drag him into the mess with Ryan when she didn’t yet know exactly what the deal was. And she also remembered that he had said as long as her baby’s father wasn’t in the picture everything was alright.
Josh was known as Ryan’s son and Ryan was pretty rich and powerful. The last thing she wanted was for Ryan to harm Jamal.
Before she could say anything else, Jamal suddenly reached for her phone.
She looked at him in surprise but before she could snatch it back, he was already typing something on it.
[What did you do?] She signed as he handed the phone back to her.
Jamal grinned and gestured to her to check it. When she took it back, her heart skipped a beat when she saw his number saved under the name "Handsome Jamal."
Abigail looked up and signed, [Why did you give me your number?] she asked even though she was glad that she had his number now and didn’t need to look for him.
"I’m not sure why you wanted my number before, but I want you to have it. If you ever need to talk... or need anything you can call me. Can I have yours?"
