Chapter 1536
Hannah subtly turned her head to look behind her. Inside the car, her father was on the phone and her mother was fast asleep. Farley was engrossed in his mobile game. Farley was tall and powerful, and perhaps, he could handle the man who had been bothering her. But he was young and unpredictable. Hannah couldnât take that risk. Her father was getting on in years, and he was definitely no match for this madman.
What could she do if she couldnât ask her family for help?
Back in the car.
When Steven saw a man chatting up Hannah, and Hannah responding him with a smile, he was so furious he wanted to go out and kick the guy away. But remembering that Hannah didnât exactly fancy him, he had to bear with it. In order to prevent himself from doing something rash, he turned away and
didnât notice the unusual situation with Hannah.
It was Rick who had been vigilantly observing Hannah. After a while, he noticed something amiss, âPresident Dixon, I think Iâve seen that man before. He looks like the stalker who was following Mrs. Dixon a year ago.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the car door was flung open and their boss rushed out like a bolt of lightning. Rick sighed, âMen!âe2
Just as Hannah was anxiously thinking of what to do, a tall figure appeared beside her as swift as lightning. Before she could react, the man who had been harassing her was subdued by the tall figure, âRick, you handle this guy. I donât want to see him again.â
Rick nodded, âYes.â
Hannah looked up and indeed, it was Steven and his assistant. Steven had helped her again.
Hannah felt a little embarrassed, but more than that, she let out a sigh of relief. The fear that had gripped her vanished, instantly when she saw Steven, âThank you!â
Steven didnât say a word, but stepped forward and gently took her hand.
Seeing the bruise on her wrist, he frowned in displeasure, âThere were so many people around, why didnât you call for help?â
Hannah replied, âLook at the commotion weâve caused, and yet no one in my car noticed. Do you think anyone else would?â
Steven took her hand and led her away, âGet in my car.â
This time, Hannah obediently followed him and got into his car. Steven took out a tube of ointment from the glove box and gently applied it to her wrist, âThis will reduce the swelling and bruising, so your wrist wonât be bruised.â
Hannah watched him tenderly apply the ointment, feeling a warmth spreading in her heart, âHow did you happen to be here?â
Steven finished applying the ointment, then looked up at her, âWhy do you think I would be here?â
Hannah looked down and mumbled, âIf you donât tell me, how should I know?â
She had a hunch, but didnât dare to voice it. She was afraid that she was overthinking and that he would mock her.
