Donald didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Jennifer's nosiness.
She may appear nonchalant on the surface, but where I have been last night actually matters a lot to her.
“Do you remember Raphael asking me for help with his security system? I went to his spirit stone mine and dealt with some of the problems.”
Oblivious to the true extent of Donald's capabilities, Jennifer and Geraldine simply took it that he had resolved security issues related to computers.
In contrast to them, Hannah had learned from Yorksland's intelligence network about what really happened the night before.
Instead of giving Donald a hard time, she helped him defuse the situation.
“That's enough. Donald has had a long day at work. Can't you guys just let him get some rest?” She turned off the laptop and winked at Donald. “Are you tired? Do you want a cup of coffee?”
Donald couldn't be any more familiar with the look she was giving him, for every time she did that, it meant that she needed his help.
He quickly said, “I'm a little exhausted. I think I'll be heading up to get some sleep. Thanks for the offer, but you girls can carry on without me.”
Before Hannah could respond, Donald rushed up to his bedroom on the second floor to sleep.
After some time, just as Donald was drifting in and out of sleep, he felt someone climbing onto his bed.
The moment he opened his eyes, he noticed Hannah kneeling by his side and unbuttoning her jacket.
Donald's eyes widened in shock.
“What are you doing?” he asked angrily.
We're at home now and Jennifer is downstairs. She'll definitely kill me if she walks in on us right now.
The panic on Donald's face made Hannah smile.
