Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Abigail murmured a response but didn't move . Jackson was a little impatient with her . He turned to look at her , only to find her face pale , as if she'd been fightered . Ha asked with a freven . nightmare or wha ?" - " Nope Abigail pressed her arms against the couch , drawing in a slow breath Jackson shot her a glance and urged , " We've only got fiheen minutes on the parking apron , Don't waste time Abigail steadied herself against the couch and stood up . When she opened her eyes to see Jackson's enlarged face so close in hers , it had truly startled her , In prison , that was how it always began - someone watching her first , then the fists and kicks would come . Those people would wait until he was deep. time it with the shift change , and beat her senseless in the dead of night . After getting off the plane , Jackson led Abigail to a black car , motioning for her to get in while he went back to show the way this boss . Abigail took the chance to send a message to Timothy , trying to figure out what exactly she would do on this business trip Meanwhile , back near the plane , Jackson had just arrived when he saw his boss already getting off the plan " You startled her just now ? " Sebastian said as he approached Jackson , his voice casual . Jackson was caught off guard . He muttered under his breath , " I startled her ? Am I that scary ? " " Next time , have the flight attendant wake her up , " Sebastian replied , walking past Jackson without pause . Jackson inwardly thought Abigail was being overly sensitive , but he didn't show it on his face . Once they reached the car , Jackson opened the door and watched Sebastian get in . Hearing noises behind her , Abigail instinctively turned around . She saw a man wearing a mask and sunglasses , his entire face covered . Even so , she could tell from the contours that his features must be perfect . At that moment , Sebastian turned to look at Abigail and asked , " What's wrong ? " Abigail quickly looked away , avoiding more eye contact . She had just received a message from Timothy and learned that the so - called Mr. Robinson was named Sebastian Robinson . He was not the man she'd been looking for . " Mr. Robinson , are we heading to the company first , or somewhere else ? " Abigail asked the question and then fixed her gaze forward . Sebastian adjusted his clothes , settling back into the seat . " To the hotel ." " OK , Abigail replied curtly . The car took them to a star hotel . As Jackson drove to the parking lot , Abigail followed Sebastian and walked into the lobby . The hotel manager came forward t to greet them personally once she noticed them , and she escorted them to the elevator . 13 Inside the elevator , the manager handed two key cards to Sebastian . " Sir , here are the rooms you requested . Room 885 of you , and Room 889 is for the young lady . " anod , accepted the cards , and then handed one to Abigail . He said , " Jeremiah already got some clothes for you as well as some basic Sebastian S 1/2 # 21114 Wed , Chapter 29 toiletries . If there's anything he missed , you can tel Abigail held the card between her fingers . Hearing that last line , she instinctively looked up and asked , " Tell you ? " " Is there a problem ? " Sebastian asked calmly , Abigail tightened her grip on the card , her tone a little stift . " I know you're busy . It's better tell Jackson or Jeremiah about such trivial matters . " Sebastian didn't respond to that directly . Instead , he took out his phone and looked at her . Though Sebastian wore the sunglasses , Abigail still felt the pressure of his gaze . She reluctantly took out her phone and asked cautiously . " Would you like to save my number or … " Sebastian replied curtly . " WhatsApp " Abigail opened the app , clicked open her QR code , and handed him her phone . Once they had added each other , Sebastian continued , " Timothy showed me the code you wrote . It's very good . Did someone teach you that ? " Abigail taught all the stuff herself . During her time in prison , aside from completing assigned tasks , inmates had pockets of free time . She chose to spend that time reading because before prison , she dreamed of becoming a computer expert . She didn't want to reveal too much about her past , but she also understood that a company as big as Halden Group would've done a background check before hiring her . Thinking of that , she replied , " Lonce watched a crime series . It was about a brilliant college student with a bright future , who ended up in prison trying to uncover the truth for a complete stranger . " In the end , he designed his own death . When he walked out of prison , hunched over , clutching his bag , it gave me a different understanding of what prison means . " Sebastian didn't comment on her past , nor did he pity her . He simply said in an even tone , " I no longer believe that everyone who's been in prison is bad . Good people can end up in prison too. " He looked straight at her as he spoke , his voice deliberate and calm . Abigail had thought that after all the suffering in prison , no one's words could shake her anymore . But when he said " Good people can end up in prison " , a sharp ache bloomed in her chest . There seemed to be a lump in her throat , which was an emotion lodged deep since the day she was forced to become a killer . It was the injustice she'd swallowed and the rage at being beaten , silenced , and ignored . She had once imagined that even after her sentence was served , returning to society would mean being branded forever . She thought she'd be a convict , unworthy of respect . She thought no one would listen to her side of the story , no one would believe she might be innocent , and no one would ever say something like " Good people can end up in prison .
