Upon hearing that, Fabian was rendered speechless. Huh? What's this? Are we filming a historical drama here? Go through fire and water? Do you think I would be asking you to walk on red-hot iron? Well, unless I have lost my mind!
"Mr. Dane, don't relax too early. Let's wait until the matter is settled before we speak of anything else," Fabian murmured mildly, still pondering whether there were other flaws in his plan.
"I have full confidence in you, Mr. Norton. They definitely can't escape you!" Jaxon proclaimed, grinning widely.
Conversely, Fabian couldn't get his spirits up at all. "I hope so," he replied placidly.
When he went home, Hannah was already asleep.
Seeing that, he shook his head with a chuckle. She must have been exhausted from work today.
Early the next morning, Fabian woke up groggily. Before he had even opened his eyes, he reached out to pull the person beside him into his embrace out of habit, only to feel cool bedsheets beneath his hand.
"Hmm?"
He jolted awake at once. When he saw no one beside him, curiosity gripped him. Where did Hannah go? She usually sleeps a lot, so why did she wake up so early today?
Just as he was ruminating on that, the room door swung open, and Hannah walked in. "I've already prepared breakfast, and it's in the microwave. Remember to heat it up when you're going to eat later. I've got a meeting today, so I have to go to work earlier."
After saying that, Hannah whirled around, but Fabian called out to her, "Wait a moment!"
"What is it?" Hannah turned back around in slight puzzlement.
By then, Fabian had already jumped out of bed and was striding toward her. At that moment, he was just in his underwear, and his body was devoid of any other scrap of clothing.
As he drew closer and his alluring figure became all the more distinct, Hannah's breathing became erratic.
He isn't planning to have a quickie with me, is he? And why is he so eager the moment he wakes up? Was he a monk in his previous life? Dang it!
Hannah automatically drew her assumptions while criticizing Fabian for having too strong a sex drive.
