Abigail got off the plane and turned on her phone, immediately receiving two messages from Brandon Piers.
The first message asked if she had arrived safely. The second one told her not to miss him too much.
Abigail read the messages, a slight smile forming on her lips. After a moment of thought, she responded, "Okay, I won't miss you."
Based on her understanding of him, she knew he genuinely wanted her to focus on the competition, but the part about not missing him was definitely not true.
After sending the message, Abigail followed her teammates to the car.
Besides Hughes, Brandon had secretly sent many people to protect her, so a large group left the airport together.
Busy with the competition, Abigail had no time or mind to think about Brandon. She threw herself wholeheartedly into the competition.
It was only during occasional breaks that she noticed her phone was unusually quiet with no messages from Brandon.
