“When have I ever tricked you? Don’t stress. Your dad only wants to marry you off and keep you under his thumb.”
“Alright.” Lydia snuggled closer to Hannah and said, “Hannah, you’re my only hope right now.”
Grace joined in with her question.
“Hannah, how’s everything with my brother?”
Answering this question proved to be a challenge for Hannah.
Lydia cleared her throat and smoothly changed the subject.
“I assume things are going smoothly. By the way, Hannah, have you sealed the deal with that contract?”
“We’ve got the deal locked in. After we’re done with this, dinner’s on me,” Hannah smiled and assured them.
Lydia exclaimed, “Awesome! Grace and I want to dine at the fanciest restaurant in town! Don’t you think, Grace?”
Grace was successfully distracted, turning her hopeful gaze to Hannah.
“I’d love to try the dishes you make, Hannah.”
“Okay, deal. Once I’m done with this project, I’ll make both of your wishes come true.”
“Great! Hannah, you’re simply the best!”
After sorting out Lydia’s situation, Hannah was hit by a wave of exhaustion. On the ride home, she leaned to sleep against the car window. It was Edwin’s voice that snapped her awake.
Edwin hustled over, opened the car door, and helped Hannah out carefully, updating her.
“Hannah, Grandpa’s caught wind of your accident. He insists you take time to heal, and he’s taking over at the company for the next few days. Grandpa also gave Aunt Ursula a piece of his mind, mentioning that he’ll wait for your return to decide Johanna’s fate in the company.”

Family ties were important to Hannah. She didn’t mind if Johanna stayed on at the company or not; pressuring Johanna too much wasn’t the answer.
“Let her continue in the company. She holds a position as a design assistant, and she won’t be a hindrance to me.”
Edwin smirked, feeling that Hannah was showing too much leniency.
“You’re just too kind. If it were up to me, I’d have already kicked her out of the company.”
“You’re missing the point,” Hannah told him.
“Just keep an eye on her for me during these days.”
Edwin confidently tapped his chest and said, “No worries, Hannah.
I’ve got plenty of eyes at the office. I’ll handle it!”
