It was a scrumptious meal with a great spread from appetizers to desserts. Even though no exotic delicacies were served, Fabian still enjoyed it very much.
Natasha found it extremely delicious too. She was not trying to butter up Fabian and Hannah when she sang praises about the food. It was her first time tasting the dishes since her arrival in Chanaea not too long ago. She even proclaimed that she wanted to learn cooking from Hannah.
Hannah agreed right away. As a woman, she liked being complimented.
After dinner, the trio chatted happily in the living room. When it was getting late, Hannah said reluctantly, "Where do you live now, Natasha? We'll get someone to drive you home."
Hannah was very fond of Natasha, the girl from Remdik. She's so cheerful, generous, and straightforward, unlike the conniving people in her office.
Despite knowing each other for only a short period of time, Hannah had started treating Natasha as her close friend.
"Oh, I'm staying in Glory Hotel," Natasha replied with a smile.
"Huh? You're still staying in the hotel? You're a trainee in our company. Don't they provide you any accommodation?"
Upon hearing that, Hannah flew off the handle. Natasha is a rare talent, an asset to the company. Having recruited her is an honor for the company. I can't believe the management hasn't arranged a place for her to stay. This is such unfair treatment!
"Oh, it's okay. I'm here to learn. I can't trouble others to look for accommodation for me. It's actually quite nice to stay in the hotel. I'll search around for other options on my off days," Natasha explained.
The truth was Fabian had provided Natasha with a villa but instructed her to tell Hannah otherwise if the latter asked about it. His intention of doing so was obvious.
