Xavier's eyes widened as he was apparently shocked to see Hannah's reaction.
Something's not right! It didn't turn out as how I thought it would be! In fact, it's totally different from what I imagined!
Meanwhile, Fabian was surprised to see Hannah's reaction as well. He anticipated that Hannah would surely be displeased but didn't think that she would be that emotional.
He wouldn't let Hannah look at the notebook if he knew it in the first place.
Then, he sneered and gave Xavier a cold-eyed stare before coming up to Hannah.
Patting Hannah on her back gently, he comforted,
"It's okay. I'm here."
The dramatic turn of events was way beyond Xavier's imagination. Aren't I supposed to make a good impression on Hannah and embarrass Fabian? Why is it upended?
"Hmm... Ms. Young... I..." Xavier stammered. He wished to give her an explanation but wasn't sure where to start.
Fabian snickered, "Alright. You don't have to say anything. Now, get out of here."
Actually, Fabian was impatient toward Xavier. He allowed Xavier to mess with them for so long only because Helen planned to help him by making Hannah repulse Xavier.
On the other hand, Xavier was disgruntled as well. He only realized now that Helen gave him the wrong information to irritate Hannah.
However, he couldn't understand why Helen would do so. After all, he only extended an olive branch to her and didn't do anything wrong.
"Did you hear me? Get out of here now.” Fabian yelled at him furiously while hugging Hannah.
