Confused, Edwin huffed, “Is there a problem with me stopping by when I’m not busy? You weren’t grateful when I stopped Johanna from slapping you a few days back, were you?”
Hannah chuckled.
She then gave Edwin a more serious look.
“Alright, my savior, you brought me milk. Anything else on your mind?”
When it was his turn to speak, Edwin hesitated, “Um, remember that time I got drugged and you saved me? Remember Jenny?”
At the mention of Jenny, Hannah promptly shut down her computer.
“What happened? Is she causing you problems again?”
“No.”
Edwin shook his head, although his face betrayed a weird expression.
“She hasn’t been harassing me or anything. But lately, I feel Like I’m being watched. Both outside and inside the house. It’s unnerving!”
Such an instinct couldn’t be baseless.
Furrowing her brow, Hannah made a quick decision.
“Stick with me for the next few days. Come to work and leave with me. Meanwhile, I’1L have someone install pinhole cameras around the White family villa and in your bedroom, just to be safe.”
Maybe Hannah felt uneasy due to Jenny’s previous actions. The following morning, she decided to bring Edwin into the company.
Seated in Hannah’s office, Edwin seemed disengaged as he reviewed the list of available positions at White Group, his legs swinging aimlessly.
When Hannah finally finished outlining the upcoming collaborative project, she looked over to see Edwin, sitting on her couch, looking thoroughly bewildered.
“What’s the matter? Don’t you find any of these roles appealing?”

Sensing that Hannah had finally given him her attention that morning, Edwin replied with a half-smile, “None of these seem like a good fit for me.”
ALL morning, Edwin found Hannah swamped with work.
He listened to Hannah delegate responsibilities and talk through project details, thoroughly confused by the technical Language.
Even though his field of study was finance, Edwin had often slacked off during his academic years, barely managing to graduate.
He had once looked down on Hannah’s skills, but now he felt utterly clueless in her professional setting.
“You know, you were right to call me an idiot. I don’t think I could handle any of these jobs, not even at an entry level.”
Upon hearing Edwin’s disheartened tone, Hannah grinned.
