When Hannah heard that, she promptly clapped a hand over her mouth and dared not say a single word further. Of course, I know the consequences of defying you! After all, I've been punished for this reason more than once!
Fabian smirked as he looked at Hannah, who had gone silent, seemingly gloating over his victory in this battle. After that, he said nothing at all.
After getting into the car, he said to the driver, "Head to Wesley Xenakis' villa."
Hannah had no idea that Regina was Wesley's mistress, so she merely assumed that Wesley Xenakis was a friend of his. Inwardly, she mused. Hmm? Do all wealthy people have mature aesthetics that they all love watching shows?
Nonetheless, she didn't make a single sound in the car, merely waiting silently for them to arrive at their destination. As she gazed at the scenery outside the window that kept changing to paint different pictures, her thoughts inexorably drifted.
Fabian has been really good to me recently. Could it be that he has fallen in love with me? In the next moment, she sighed softly and surmised. Perhaps that's it!
After everything that had happened in these two days, she realized that she had grown to love him. However, she felt that they weren't suited for each other though she couldn't quite pinpoint the specific reason.
Screech! The screech of tires pierced the air, snapping Hannah back to reality as the car came to a stop. She stared at the exquisite villa in front of her. Then, she made to open the car door even as she inquired, "We're here?"
"Yup," Fabian replied nonchalantly with his gaze fixed outside the window.
Click! Hannah swung open the car door. Just when she was about to climb out, Fabian grabbed her. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going out to watch the show! Didn't you say you're bringing me here to show a show?" Skepticism showed on Hannah's face. It was him who forcibly dragged me here, so why is he denying it now that we're here?
"We'll be watching it in the car." Fabian held her slender hand tightly, refusing to relinquish his hold on her. Yet, neither did he explain things further.
"How are we going to watch it in the car? Are you playing me for a fool?" Hannah seethed in a fit of pique, feeling as though she had been tricked.
