Hannah trailed behind him, with a small suitcase in hand. As soon as they entered, the chatter of two maids reached their ears.
Maid A, "That woman, Hannah, I can't stand her."
Maid B, "Me neither. Mr. Steven has been trying so hard to win her over, but she just keeps playing hard to get."
Maid A, "Exactly, let her keep playing her games. When Mr. Steven finally loses his patience, she'll have nowhere to hide her tears."
Maid B, "She's so pretentious. After all that Mr. Steven has done, she still acts all high and mighty."
Maid A, "I bet she's just playing hard to get. She comes from show business, full of liars and cheats. Who knows how many men she's been with. I don't know what spell she's cast on Mr. Steven."d2
The maids were assigned by the Dixon family to maintain their old mansion. Little did they know Steven was back in Harbor City and would overhear their petty conversation.
Anger flared up within him, "Who do you think you are? To gossip like this!"
The maids were terrified, dropping to their knees, "We apologize, sir. We should have held our tongues."
"Where did you go wrong?" Steven looked at them coldly.
