“Fear not. Mr. Schneider isn’t fond of Hannah.
He won’t let her succeed in this project! I just need a small favor from you to ensure she’s shown the door.”
“What is it?” Mya asked. Duncan murmured something into Mya’s ear as he held her close.
Mya’s expression shifted at his query.
“If this comes to light, I’ll lose my job.”
“But on the flip side, if it works out, you’ll share a joyful life with me! Risks can lead to rewards, don’t you agree?”
After pondering for a moment, Mya nodded.
“I’ll find a way.”

At nine in the evening, Hannah got Cleopatra’s amended business proposal through an email.
After reviewing it, she nodded to herself in front of her computer screen. Her judgment had been correct.
She replied to the email, “Follow the edits I’ve marked. You can finish it at the office tomorrow. No rush.”

“What?”
Distracted by a contract she had been reading, Hannah was puzzled by Lydia’s revelation.
“What first love are you talking about?”
“Listen, Bryson had this first love named Ruby Green. She left the country after her family went broke. They lost touch, but now Ruby’s back, and it looks like she wants to rekindle things with Bryson.”
Hannah shut her laptop quietly, pausing for a moment while still on the phone.
Lydia, picking up on the silence, quickly chimed in, “Hannah, don’t stress. I’ll keep an eye on Bryson for you. He won’t even get near her!”
