In the end, both of Fabian’s arms were covered with tortoises. Having no more space to add another, the last one could only be drawn on his handsome face.
Thereafter, the trio left for showers and went to bed respectively. Fabian forgot to take into account the consequences of having Natasha move in with them. I didn’t expect to be left out by Hannah. Indeed, God plans in unfathomable ways.
The next morning, Hannah woke up super early to prepare for her interview with Xavier. As her assistant, Natasha followed suit.
Fabian slept in due to exhaustion. Hannah did not disturb him and left the bedroom upon getting ready.
“Let me bring you for some bean stew,” Hannah suggested with her brows arched. She’s probably not tried that before.
“Bean stew?”
Just as she had predicted, Natasha’s perplexed look said it all. “What’s bean stew?”
Hannah was stunned by her question and was somewhat at a loss for words. “Um… Bean stew is a type of stew. Well, you’ll find out when we get there.”
“George, there’s five hundred million in the card. You can go ahead and work on your task. Don’t let me down,” instructed Lyna as she handed a card over to George.
Upon receiving the card, a tinge of excitement flashed through George’s eyes. “Rest assured that I’m worth every single cent you paid me.”
George could not wait to face Fabian head-on. It takes a marvelous person to know and cherish another. It’s going to be interesting to have a financial whiz like me meet with a significant figure like Fabian.
Fabian finally woke up and got out of the room, only to realized that Hannah and Natasha had left the house. As a consolation, she had put in the effort to prepare him breakfast and even fried the eggs into a heart shape.
After washing up, Fabian enjoyed his hearty breakfast.
Right then, his phone rang. He frowned the moment he took a glance at the number. It’s been a while since I’ve received a call from this number. Something must have happened.
“Hello?” asked Fabian in a low voice after accepting the call.
“Mr. Norton, bad news. I suspect there’s someone trying to manipulate our share market.”
The person who called was a stock market expert that Fabian met by chance. He took him in as his trusted aide, responsible for controlling his shares.
“So? Can’t you handle this?”
Fabian took a deep breath. He had always been very confident with the way his aide traded his stocks, otherwise Fabian would not have given him full authority to invest freely where he saw fit. If he says there’s a problem, then it surely isn’t something trivial.
“This… I can’t confirm. The technique used is very fast and callus. I need some funds to buy stocks. If the person gets to it first, we’ll be adversely affected,” the man over the phone said anxiously.
“Okay, noted. Withdraw the money from my account. Don’t panic and just stay calm,” Fabian advised.
Hanging up, Fabian quickly finished his food. Could this be the work of either Lyna or Yvette?
Though feeling frustrated, Fabian was not too worried about the situation because he was very confident of the capabilities of his appointed aide.
Moreover, I’m the one with a deep pocket. What’s there to fear?
“How is it? Does it taste good?” Hannah asked during breakfast.
“Yes, it’s nice. Also, it’s quite a unique way to cook bean stew.” Natasha was satisfied with her breakfast.
After chit-chatting, Hannah told Natasha, “Later, we’re going to interview a president. Your task is to stand beside me and don’t worry about anything. I’ll teach you more interview techniques in our next assignment. Then, you can do it independently and get some experience.”
