Hearing Jarvis say that, Hannah let out a sigh of relief, "I'll send you the address right now. I'm about to meet Daniela in ten minutes. I figure I can keep her busy during the time, so you've got to get here in twenty or I'll be toast."
Jarvis said, "If I say I'll be there, then I'll be on the dot."
Hannah said, "My knight in shining armor, all my hopes are riding on you."
Jarvis said, "Don't worry."
Getting a solid confirmation from Jarvis, Hannah knew he would come. But what she didn't expect was what Jarvis would say in front of Daniela. Everyone thought she wasn't good enough for Steven, they all called her shameless, and even she herself thought she had sold herself to get what she had now.
Yet, there was this one guy, who defended her with a firm voice. He told her that her relationship with Steven was consensual, that no one was superior or inferior. For a moment, her image of Jarvis seemed even greater.
Daniela's face twisted with rage at Jarvis's words, "Jarvis, you're a man. Do you know what you're saying?"
Jarvis said, "What does being a man have to do with it? You're a woman. Does that mean you can bully a girl?"
Daniela was furious, "You!"
Jarvis continued, "Guys can play the field, and you'd say they're just having fun. But if a woman does something, you'd call her cheap and shameless. Wake up, it's not the dark ages anymore."
Daniela said, "This woman seduced Steven, using her body to get things she never could have had. Isn't that cheap and shameless?"
