Meanwhile, news of Hannah's return to the company had begun to spread. Xavier appeared distant as he held the phone inside the Jackson Group president's office. “Alright, understood.”
As a president who had spies abound, he was privy to the situation surrounding the woman that he very much fancied. He saw this as a chance for him to make Hannah his wife, as it seemed impossible now for her and Fabian to reconcile.
Reservations on the part of Heather had profoundly affected Hannah.
Owing to Hannah's compassion, she would doubtlessly distance herself from Fabian, which would open up the opportunity for Xavier himself to woo Hannah.
He did not mind that Hannah could not conceive, as he was mad about her and did not see her as a child bearing tool. Worse come to worst, they could always adopt. He believed that love was the key to marital bliss.
Besides, Xavier's situation was unlike Fabian's. The former still had a younger brother, so he did not have to worry as much about succession. Even if his own brother was not keen on taking over the reins, his nephew would have come of age and should be able to hold his own when the time came for Xavier to retire.
With his mind set on seeing Hannah, Xavier called up Bob to arrange to have her conduct an exclusive interview with himself.
“What? Say that again!”
Not everyone was happy to learn that Hannah was back. Fabian and Xavier, the ones who loved her, were obviously ecstatic, but not so much those who plotted against her.
“Hannah Young's back, and I've already called her company to ascertain this. Why would I kid around with stuff like that?”
The person sounded forthright enough over the phone.
“Alright, got it.”
Lyna exhaled as she hung up.
