Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon.
Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.
Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.
Should she really leave?
Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?
The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.
Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.
Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.
Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly.
Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.
Despite his stunningly good looks, one could tell he was a womanizer with just a single glance at him.
As he walked, several bodyguards trailed faithfully after him from behind.
With the grandiose way he carried himself and the eye-catching bodyguards, Raymond gave off an imposing air that intimidated many from approaching him.
When his eyes fell on the pacing Hannah, he instantly stopped in his tracks. Then, he shot forward and grabbed her roughly by the arm.
“They told me you had food-poisoning and were admitted to the hospital. What’s going on? Why are you loitering around here?” Raymond demanded coldly.
Rihanna had personally come to him and went out of her way to tell him that Hannah had food-poisoning. Rihanna also added that Hannah was sent to the hospital right after she finished singing. Yet here Hannah was, looking perfectly fine.
