Chapter 238: A spy
Abby walked through the familiar, richly adorned hallway of their home, her steps echoing slightly in the quiet. She walked to the bedroom but Remo wasn’t there. Putting the shopping bag down she made her way to his office.
The muted sounds of conversation filtered through the half-open door of Remo’s study. Curiosity piqued, she pushed the door fully open and found Remo deep in discussion with a striking blonde woman sitting across from him.
"Who is this?" Abby asked, her voice a mix of confusion and intrigue.
At her entrance, Remo looked up, a bright smile spreading across his face. He stood and walked toward her with the ease of a man comfortable in his own domain. Closing the distance, he pulled her into his arms and pressed a kiss on her lips, his affection dispelling some of her initial surprise.
"I missed you," he whined softly, his voice carrying a playful note.
"Me too," Abby smiled back, warmth flooding her despite the lingering questions. As they pulled away, her gaze shifted back to the blonde woman, who watched them with an amused, knowing smile
Remo turned, gesturing towards the woman. "Meet Ella. Our new spy. She’s going to work for your uncle." He paused, ensuring Abby grasped the significance. "Ella is good at numbers and seduction," he added, a hint of respect coloring his tone.
Ella stepped forward, extending her hand with a confidence that Abby couldn’t help but admire. "Pleased to meet you, Abby. I’ve heard a lot about you," Ella said, her voice smooth and reassuring.
Abby took her hand, her mind whirling with questions and possibilities. "How did you two meet?" she inquired, her eyes flicking between Remo and Ella.
