Hannah couldn’t help shaking her head. Handing the document in? What is there to hand in? Xavier’s company doesn’t have a new product to launch, and he only called me over due to some personal issues… Gah, never mind. I’ll tell him about it when the time comes.
Hannah fished her phone out of her pocket and called Lyna soon after. The former saved the latter’s number at the hospital.
“Hi, is this Lyna?” asked Hannah with a smile, still oblivious to the fact that Lyna was the culprit who repeatedly hurt her.
“Yeah, it’s me. How’ve you been, Hannah? It’s been a while since we last saw each other. Did you miss me?” asked Lyna from the other side of the line, feigning closeness.
“Of course I did. That’s why I called you the second I heard that you’re looking for me,” replied Hannah.
“Ah, thank you for making the time for it. My company has a new scheme to be introduced soon, and we need journalists to write an article about it. Naturally, the first person that came to my mind is you.”
“Oh, it’s no trouble at all. Tell me the time and address. I’ll get everything ready and head over for the interview,” said Hannah.
“Great, let’s set it for two in the afternoon. As for the address… Let’s meet in Blackwood Group’s headquarter.”
“Alright, I’ll be there on time.”
“Okay then, let’s chat when we meet up.”
Lyna laughed aloud after hanging up. She later murmured to herself, “My, my, Hannah Young. I don’t even know if I should praise you for being kind, or diss you for being stupid. Things have progressed to this extent, but you’re still treating me like a good friend. How stupid can you be?”
“Mr. Norton, we finally have a breakthrough…”
Fabian sprang up in his office when he suddenly received a call from his trusted aide. He replied instantly, “Okay, I’ll rush over now.”
Hannah was scheduled to do an interview in Blackwood Group at two, and it was rather late. After talking to Fabian and learning that he wouldn’t be home for lunch, she ordered take-outs for her and Natasha before they went to play tennis. Rumor had it that Natasha was a skilled player, and Hannah couldn’t help feeling excited about it.
Soon, Hannah lay breathless on the floor while Natasha was still raring to go. Hannah shook her head and sighed, “Looks like I will have to train harder in the future.”
The two of them rested for a while. They later noticed that it was almost time, so they headed over to Blackwood Group.
When Hannah reached Blackwood Group’s headquarter, she was surprised to see that the place wasn’t packed with journalists. The employees of the company were also busying away.
“Hello? Lyna, I’m here. Where are you?” asked Hannah, who called Lyna soon after.
“Oh, you’re here? Okay, I’ll go get you now. Please wait by the entrance,” replied Lyna with a smile.
It didn’t take long before Hannah saw Lyna walking over, waving at her.
“Lyna, it’s been a while,” greeted Hannah with a smile as she headed over.
“I know, right? You finally came to see me.”
Lyna grinned and hugged Hannah immediately after.
Those who were unaware of the situation might even think that they were BFFs who hadn’t seen each other in a while.
“Lyna, isn’t your company introducing a new scheme today? Why aren’t the other journalists here?” asked Hannah, who couldn’t contain her curiosity.
“Oh, that?” said Lyna as she grinned and replied, “I did that for you. You’re the only journalist I called, so this will be an exclusive cover for your outlet. So, what do you think? Am I the nicest person or what?”
“Yeah, you are definitely the nicest person. Thank you. I will do my best to make it great,” promised Hannah.
She never had her guard up against Lyna, so it was only natural that she bought every lie.
Lyna basically ignored the goodwill that the scheme would bring to the company and only called Hannah to cover the story. All just so that the latter could have an exclusive. How can I not appreciate her for that?
“Alright, alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s head in. We’ve been waiting for you to cover the story,” said Lyna before she hugged Hannah, and they walked into the building together.
When Hannah entered, she saw her brother, Winson, and that surprised her. She hurried over and asked, “Winson, what are you doing here?”
