Abby soon decides that she wants better for herself and she no longer wanted to be a stripper. So with Michael supporting her and by her side, she went to Johnny Zacchara, who was then-owner of the club, Vaughn's, where she previously worked and quit her job as a stripper.
While Abby searches for another job and Michael comes to terms with the events in his life, they continue to date, and soon decide to go on their first real date together at her apartment. On March 28, Michael and Abby make love for the first time. Later, both Michael and Abby are given jobs at ELQ Enterprises by Michael's great-grandfather, Edward Quartermaine. Michael becomes a junior executive, and Abby becomes an executive assistant. Even after Michael decides that the business life isn't for him and decides to leave, Abby stays on at ELQ.
In late 2011, several of Abby's friends from Vaughn's are abused and put in the hospital. Michael and Sam search for the guy doing the beatings, and Michael convinces ELQ's CEO, Tracy Quartermaine-Spencer, to send Abby out of town on business. Abby is excited to go out of town on her first business trip. While in Chicago, a load falls off a crane above Abby while she talks on the phone with Michael. She's hit and knocked unconscious, and rushed to the hospital. When Michael and Sam arrive at the hospital, they are directed to the morgue where they find Abby's dead body. Michael blames himself for her death, since he was the one who sent her away on the trip to get her away from the man abusing Abby's friends. However, with the help of Sam and Jason, Michael is able to grieve for the loss. Michael scattered Abby's ashes in New Zealand because they always talked about visiting the country together.
