Jarvis said, "I've been watching this TV show The Story of Nesiona recently, and it's really dope."
Even though he was usually swamped with work and typically couldn't care less about those boring movies and TV shows, he tuned in because this show was adapted from Cornelia's comics.
He only mentioned that the show was good but didn't explicitly say that he liked it. However, Hannah understood his implication and persisted, asking, "So did you like it?"
"Totally." Jarvis replied, lifting his eyes slightly to look at Cornelia, "I really dig it. I've been into it for a while now."
His meaning was obvious. Hannah surely got his drift, "So you're crushing on our Cornelia huh? Too bad, she's already taken and they even have a kid."
Then Hannah said, "Mr. Jarvis, if you're really looking for a relationship, why not give me a shot? I'm single, cute and sweet, got money and my own place. I'm the perfect girlfriend material."
Hannah only tossed it out there, not expecting Jarvis to actually take the bait, "Sure, we can date."
Hannah instantly freaked out, "Uh, um..."
Jarvis asked, "What's up? Having second thoughts?"
Hannah said, "No, it's not that. I thought you're into Cornelia? If you're not into me, why agree to date all of a sudden?"
