“Alright, Master Merlin.”
In the racing car, Grace occupied the backseat, her face etched with worry.
Gripping Hannah’s hand, she asked, “Hannah. What was up with those people outside? Were they troubling you? Should I tell my brother?”
Hannah reached out, gently patting Grace’s head. “It’s all good; don’t stress. No need to involve your brother. They weren’t causing trouble; I just said no to their invitation.”

Grace remained skeptical. “They didn’t look exactly like they were inviting you.”

Hannah reassured her. “Trust me; it’s fine. I’ll keep you safe.”
“I’m not scared!” Grace held onto Hannah’s arm. “I’m worried about you, Hannah. I know of your capabilities. Even if my brother never talks about them, I’ve heard bits from Lydia about your adventures abroad. It sounded risky. I’m worried even coming back won’t bring peace.”
Hannah tousled Grace’s hair gently. “Don’t worry about it. Just focus on school.”
“I…” Hannah hesitated. “I can handle things, and you don’t need to worry.”
Then she turned to Dotson. “Dotson, while I’m here, you’re in charge of ensuring Grace’s safety. You’ll be the one driving her around.”
Dotson, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, reassured Hannah. “Don’t worry, boss! I’ll make sure nothing happens to this young lady, even if it means putting my life on the Line!”
“Who said anything about sacrificing your life!” Hannah replied irritably. “With those people showing up when we picked up Grace, I’m worried they might try something sneaky since I turned down their invitation. Just keep a close eye on Grace’s movements. They wouldn’t dare do anything obvious to her; I’m just afraid she might fall for their tricks.”
Grace blinked innocently. “Me? Fall for tricks? I’m not that naive!”
“It’s not about you being naive; it’s about me being concerned for you!” Hannah said gently.
They returned to the villa that evening.
At the dinner table, Hannah, not feeling hungry, only picked at her food.
“You go ahead and eat; I’m not very hungry. I’ll head upstairs.”
Watching Hannah disappear upstairs, Edwin cast a glance at her nearly untouched meal.
His eyes then turned to Dotson and Grace. “What’s wrong with her? She barely ate, and she looked upset.”
Grace, holding her bowl, shook her head. “I’m not sure if it’s because of what happened when she came to pick me up, but it’s bothering Hannah.”
When he heard her words, his expression sharpened. “What happened?”
After giving Edwin a quick rundown of the afternoon’s events, Grace set down her fork. “Hannah must be worried about it.”
Edwin slammed his hand on the table. “How dare they! Forcing someone to accept an invitation?”
“Easy there,” Jalen interjected, staying calm despite his worry. “Did you find out who’s behind this invitation to Hannah?”
