With a concerned expression, the hotel staff filled Hannah in.
Theres been a commotion, maam. The guests upstairs were attacked by a thief who had broken into their room. The security hurried to the scene, but the thief ran away before they arrived. We dont know where he took off, so were checking every room.
Hannahs brows furrowed. The guest upstairs?
Yes, maam. Actually, they seem to be a couple. Fortunately, they have bodyguards with them. Otherwise, theyd be in grave danger, the hotel staff said, then nodded his head politely to excuse himself.
If mo one broke in here, Ill go and check another room, maam.
Hannah nodded. Yes, no one broke in. You can go ahead.
The hotel staff bowed lightly at her before taking his leave.
After the hotel staff left, Hannah leaned against the door frame and looked at Dotson with a serious expression. Go and find who those guests are.
Dotson nodded. Okay. You can go back to sleep, boss. Ill be guarding your room, so you dont have to worry.
Hannah sneered. Breaking in here is like asking for death, so good luck to that thief if he shows up here.
After sending Dotson away, Hannah closed the door and strode back to the bedroom.
As she neared the bed, a smile crept across her face. She wasnt sure earlier, but it seemed the thief really had a death wish.

gleaming dagger poised towards Hannah with an eerie hush.
However, the sharp tip landed on the pillow as Hannah deftly rolled over to the other side, avoiding the attack and taking the intruder by surprise.
Hannah swiftly turned on the lampshade on the bedside table, illuminating the room.
Startled, the intruder covered his face with his arms and turned around to flee.
However, Hannah was quick on her feet. Grabbing the landline phone on the bedside table, she threw the receiver at the intruder in the head.
The intruder was knocked down to the floor with a loud thud.
As he tried to get up, Hannah wrapped the bathrobe belt around his neck from behind, obstructing his breathing and blurring his vision.
Tightening her grip on the belt, Hannah knelt behind the man and snarled, How dare you break into my room?
Gritting his teeth, the intruder frantically cut off the fabric around his neck with the dagger in his hand.
When he succeeded, he swiftly turned around and aimed the dagger at Hannah.
