Fabian slowly placed a hand under Hannah's neck while the other wrapped around her waist, picking her up from the couch.
Huh. Let's just bring her to the bed for now.
After Fabian tugged Hannah in bed, he came out and went to the washroom. He repeatedly splashed the cold water onto his face in an attempt to wake himself up and ease the drowsiness he was feeling.
Then, he slowly took out his phone from his pocket and called his assistant, "Help me find out what Hannah did today."
Subsequently, Fabian took off all his clothes and turned on the shower to let the water beat on him, wetting his hair before running across his face, forcing his eyes shut.
It did not take long for Fabian to wash up and get out with a loose bathrobe on him. He dragged his feet towards the couch and plopped himself on it.
He rummaged through the drawer of the coffee table and took out a cigarette, placing it in his mouth before lighting it. It had been a while since he last smoke.
Fabian took a deep breath before letting out a puff of smoke as his brows unknitted.
All of a sudden, his phone rang. It was his assistant reporting back to him about Hannah. "Mr. Norton, it looks like Ms. Young was with... Xavier Jackson the whole day.”
The assistant's voice was trembling as he knew that Xavier and Fabian were not on friendly terms. He was afraid that the report would spoil Fabian's mood, and he would be caught up in Fabian's wrath.
What? She was with Xavier? Now that's too much!
Why was she crying then! Does she think I'd go soft if she cried?
"Give me the specifics!" It was just as the assistant expected. Fabian went haywire after hearing the information, his voice cold as ice.
The assistant proceeded to inform Fabian about everything he found out for fear of displeasing his boss.
