Xavier spoke with a straight face on. It sounded like he meant every word he said, but he was the only one who knew how he truly felt.
Hannah was proactive in showing up and asking for an interview, but he had somehow turned things around. At that moment, it sounded like he asked her to help promote his company.
Still, hearing how Xavier praising her skills and her beauty got Hannah to grin happily. That was understandable. After all, who wouldn't enjoy being complimented like that?
Hannah was shy, and her face turned to a shade of red. That made her even cuter and sweeter to Xavier.
"Mr. Jackson, your words are so kind. I was worried that I'd bother you with this interview. As for being friends... Someone as powerful as you are willing to lower your stance and be friends with a lowly worker like me. That is truly rare. I'm glad that you don't see me in distaste. Let's be friends."
Hannah had been working in that industry for some time, so she had learned the social rules. She knew how to handle such questions, but she didn't just respond politely as most experienced individuals do. Instead, she paid slightly more attention and spoke in a more considerate tone.
"Haha, that would be amazing," replied Xavier, after chuckling aloud. His admiration toward Hannah increased yet again.
He thought that women like Hannah, who is youthful, beautiful, and intelligent, were rare. In fact, she was the only person he had ever met with all three traits. Most women he met were either pretentious creatures with greedy hearts or brainless bimbos with huge breasts. None of them attracted him.
"It's late, and I should leave," added Hannah. She recalled how she had to send a message to Fabian or he would rush over when he couldn't find her at home. Things would be troublesome if he causes a scene here.
"Alright, let's go. It's time for me to clock off as well, so let's head out together," replied Xavier. If she were any other woman, she would've made an excuse and said she'd like to treat me to a meal to thank me. After that, she'd try to seduce me.
Hannah didn't think much of anything. She simply nodded before exiting the place with Xavier.
