Hannah said, "I know you want me to use my influence to encourage more girls to stand up against anything that violates their rights. I'm stoked I can make a difference and help more girls. But I also want to do more than that."
Cornelia replied, "Alright, if I ever need any help, I'll come to you."
Hannah insisted, "You better."
Cornelia nodded, "I promise."
They clinked their glasses together. Hannah continued, "Nelly, the house that Steven and I used to live in is now mine. I know he's worried his ex-girlfriend might be green with envy, and to show his loyalty, he won't keep anything that I've touched."
"You guys were together for ages, it's only right that he left you the house. You should just keep it, don't overthink." Cornelia advised.
Hannah gave a bitter laugh, "Neither Steven nor I want it. I don't want to live in that house anymore. It's not easy to go back there and be reminded of my past with Steven. I think the best thing to do is to sell that house and buy a new one. I have no family in Harbor City, nothing holds me there, and what matters to me is here in Riverton. So, I plan to buy a house here. You know the place better, can you help me check out some properties?"
"Buying a house ain't a small deal. You're thinking of moving all the way from Harbor City to Riverton. You gotta think it through." Cornelia suggested.
Hannah said, "I've already thought it through. I'm buying a house in Riverton. If I want to have afternoon tea, I can just call you to come over."
Cornelia nodded, "Alright, I'll keep an eye out. Let me know what you're looking for in a house."
"The only thing I'm looking for is privacy. As an actress, there are always people trying to sneak pictures. If the community management is lax, my life could be exposed." Hannah said.
