The boss is in today, and it’s bustling with customers. I’m here to switch my stained attire. Carry on with your tasks.”
“Sure, I’ll get on with my work,” Hannah responded, brushing past the waiter.
Pausing at the threshold, the waiter eyed Hannah’s retreating form, his brow furrowing in perplexity. Since when had Eva’s silhouette become so striking? And her skirt, so short?
“How odd “he muttered, heading off to the staff room for a change of clothes.
At the mixing station, Hannah declared, “Two bottles of wine and a fruit platter, please.”

Alick’s sneer was frosty as he regarded Eliana.

“We didn’t request these. Who sent you with them?”
Hannah came to a standstill, her back still to them, and responded in a subdued tone, “The receptionist instructed me to deliver them here.”
Eliana, seizing the moment to confront Hannah, cast a sideways glance at Alick and accused, “Stop pretending! You’re here for Alick, aren’t you? I’m aware of your motives. However, your attractive physique doesn’t grant you permission for indecent thoughts!”
Stunned by Eliana’s insinuation, Hannah questioned her sanity silently.
