Unfazed by the attention, Hannah continued to the other side of the deck.
Near Rodrigo, several glamorous women lounged. In the swimming pool, more women in bikinis enjoyed themselves playfully.
Approaching the sofa, Hannah inquired, “Where’s the information on Lyons Group?”
Rodrigo, who was flirting with a woman, casually brushed his hand against her, eliciting a pained moan. He flashed a mischievous grin, trying to appease her.
“It’s okay, honey. You can go now,” he said dismissively.
With a huff, the woman shot a disdainful look at Hannah and strutted away, her departure resembling a catwalk model’s exit.
Rodrigo grinned at Hannah, motioning her over. “Hey, Miss Moore, come and sit. Let’s chat.”
Hannah took a seat, and Rodrigo, opening his laptop, said, “Look, this is the money Lyons Group needs to launder.”
Glancing at his phone, Rodrigo explained, “We’ve got an art show at 9, right? It’s a cover for laundering. My guys will jack up the painting prices like crazy. You? Just move the money to where it needs to go.”
Hannah looked at the laptop, showing 10 billion for laundering and Lyons Group details. She murmured, “Got it. I’m on it.”
Post-discussion, Rodrigo lounged on the sofa, eyeing Hannah. “Miss Moore, you’re stunning. No shock Mr. Compton’s so into you.”
Hannah, her gaze icy, typed swiftly.

Rodrigo whistled, impressed. “Man, you’re good at this. Mr. Compton’s right about you.”
Unfazed, Hannah focused on her task, head down.
After a final keystroke, she passed the laptop back to Rodrigo.
“Here’s a program I made. It tracks the laundered money and your profit, live. Plus, it’s got solid security. No one’s peeking into this, let alone hacking.”
Rodrigo’s eyes sparkled at the screen. Hannah added, “Don’t worry about my ties to the Compton family. As long as I’m working with you, the Compton family won’t be a problem.”
Rodrigo turned his gaze from the computer to Hannah. “Look, we need to work together openly. I can only decide on a partnership after I fully understand who I’m dealing with.”
Hannah scoffed, “Sounds like you’re not being very open yourself. I hardly know anything about you.”
They faced off for a moment, then Rodrigo gave in. “Alright, no more questions. Just make sure the money gets cleaned, and we’re partners.”
“Fine,” Hannah replied curtly.
Rodrigo, with a slight smile, extended his hand for a handshake.
“Then, here’s to a successful partnership.”
Hannah stood, ignoring his hand. “I hope our cooperation goes smoothly. I won’t keep you from your fun. See you at the art exhibition’s start.”
