Natasha couldn’t help but worry as she thought about it. That guy looks pretty decent… What if he manages to win Hannah over with his sweet-talking? What will Mr. Norton do then?
Considering how close Xavier was with Hannah, Natasha’s concerns were indeed justified.
Hannah knew what she was worried about and told her, “You don’t have to worry, Natasha. I know Xavier, and he’s not the type who would do something if it makes me uncomfortable. You can come with me tomorrow if you’re still worried, but you’ll have to wait outside. I’ll give you a call if anything happens, okay?”
Natasha found herself unable to argue with that statement. She’s right… Xavier may be a bit of a jerk, but he isn’t a complete a*shole… Still, what if Hannah falls for his sweet lies? He might even offer to help her investigate her mother’s death, which would allow them to spend a lot of time with each other and possibly develop feelings over time!
Noticing the frown and look of concern on her face, Hannah said after giving it some thought, “Natasha, I know you don’t trust Xavier and all, but… you should at least trust me, right? Besides, I’m sure everything will be fine! Even if anything does go wrong, I have you there to protect me, don’t I?”
Hannah even made sure to flash her a smile in hopes of reassuring her, which seemed to work as Natasha nodded with a smile in return.
She’s right, I have nothing to worry about! I should have more faith in the strength of their relationship! Hannah was willing to spend the rest of her life all alone in the house her mother left her, and she’s doing all that for Fabian’s sake! Besides, I could tell from the previous incident that she has no feelings for Xavier at all. She has only returned to investigate her mother’s death, so there’s no way she’d have the time and energy for anything else.
With that in mind, Natasha rolled up her sleeves and flexed her biceps as she replied, “All right, Hannah. Just make sure you bring me with you tomorrow, okay? I can’t protect you if you don’t!”
Hannah let out a chuckle when she saw how childish Natasha was. “Sure thing, Natasha. Don’t worry, I’ll bring you with me no matter what!” Haha, she sure is an interesting one!
Having received her reassurance, Natasha replied, “Okay, best of luck with your investigation! I’ll be getting back to work now, so just let me know if you ever need anything else!”
“I will! All the best with your work!” Hannah felt relieved to have a friend like her and gave her a little cheer in return as well.
However, her eyes were filled with a slight melancholy as she returned to her desk. I don’t have a lot of connections. While I do know a few presidents from my previous interviews, my marriage with Fabian was a secret at the time, so I didn’t really keep in touch with them. Even just having a little chat with them made Fabian extremely unhappy, so I have cut all ties with them. Without any support, I can’t even find a single person who would testify against Felicia, let alone take her down…
