Chapter 1399
The more Hannah thought about it, the more pumped she got. Steven was all cozy with his crush every day, so why couldnât she find a guy who wasnât him? She was gonna find a new boyfriend to show off to Steven.
She said with a chuckle, âSure thing. Letâs get this show on the road. Iâm not scared at all.â
Cornelia, worried about Hannah getting hurt again, quickly intervened, âHannah, love isnât a game. You canât just make decisions on a whim. You gotta think things through.â
To everyoneâs surprise, Jarvis stood up, wrapped his arm around Hannahâs waist and said to Cornelia, âCornelia, youâre kinda an outsider to us now. You donât need to worry about whatâs happening between Hannah and me.â
Cornelia knew he was just trying to get a rise out of her, so she ignored him, âHannah.â
Hannah moved Jarvisâ hand from her waist, âNelly, donât sweat it. Iâm just going casual with him.â
Just going casual. Hearing this, Jarvis chuckled, âIâm serious, but Ms. Hannah here is just going casual with me, and isnât afraid to say it outright. Arenât you worried about breaking my heart?â
Hannah shot back, âWhy are you acting? Your acting skills are so poor, itâs obvious youâre faking it.â
Jarvis responded, âAlright, no more pretending then. Letâs have dinner tonight, and then head to a hotel to cultivate some feelings.â
Hannah laughed, âWe havenât even started dating. Are you in such a hurry to sleep with me?â
Jarvis responded, âYouâre the one who wants to play. Iâm just playing along.â
Hannah shot back, âWhen I say dating, I mean dating like a normal couple, not heading straight to a hotel. Is that what you call dating?â
Jarvis responded, âYoung people these days are all about efficiency and speed. Who has the time for a year-long courtship without even holding hands?â
Hannah said, âIf you canât handle it, we should break up.â
Jarvis retorted, âAre you trying to set a world record for the fastest breakup?â
Hannah asked, âDoes Guinness have such a record?â
Jarvis was silent.
Hannah asked, âWhy are you quiet now?â
Jarvis responded, âI just want to date you.â
Jarvis initially wanted to get Corneliaâs attention, but now he was genuinely interested in Hannah. He wanted to see how this woman was going to play with him. Maybe she was like many other girls, trying to attract his attention and playing hard to get.
Hannah said, âIf weâre gonna date, then listen up. Forget about dinner tonight, I have a night shoot and need to maintain my figure. Iâll treat you to lunch tomorrow.â
Jarvis checked his watch, âIâm heading back to the capital soon, wonât be able to come to Harbor City for a while.â
Hannah said, âWe should exchange contact info then. Weâll get in touch when weâre free.â
Jarvis took out his phone, and they added each other on Facebook, âLetâs chat on Messenger first. Weâll set up a date when weâre both free.â
Hannah said, âSounds good.â
Jarvis put away his phone and glanced at Cornelia, âAre you heading back to the Capital?â
Cornelia said, âIâm planning on going back to Riverton.â
With a hint of frustration, Jarvis asked, âWhat exactly do you see in that guy? What qualities does he have that make you like him so much?â
Cornelia totorted, âI canât even remember you, yet youâve been in love with me for years. Whatâs so good about me?â
Jarvis said, âTo me, everything about you is good.â
Cornelia remained silent.
Hannah cut in, âCough, cough, youâre my boyfriend now, can you not compliment other girls in front of me?â
Jarvis chuckled, âAlright. I gotta go. Weâll keep in touch.â
Hannah walked him to the door, âSee yo.â
After seeing Jarvis off, Hannah went back to Corneliaâs bedside.
