Hannah was surprised to hear this. “Why are you in such a rush to leave?” “It’s not that I’m in a rush,” Jalen smiled. “An art exhibit coming up soon. We haven’t held such a grand affair in so many years, and I don’t really trust our people there. I intend to be present and personally make sure that everything goes well.” Hannah nodded in understanding. Jalen had his own dreams, and he was doing all that he could to pursue them. “ALL right. Remember to call us often once you’re settled in Newfort” “Of course. My family is still here. I’ll visit often, too.” Jalen’s tone changed when he added, “Oh, by the way. As I’m sure you’re aware, Johanna grew up spoiled. If she does poorly in the company, don’t hesitate to reprimand her. And forget about all the nonsense that Aunt Ursula said last time. It’s her fault for not disciplining her own daughter. This will be a good learning opportunity for Johanna.” A learning opportunity? Hannah couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at that. “Didn’t you grow up with her? You should know better than anyone what kind of person she is. If none of you were able to discipline her then, how can you expect me to do it now?” “Because things are different this time,” Jalen replied matter-of- factly. “Grandpa arranged for her to work under you in the hopes that she would finally turn for the better.” BearNovels Hannah supposed he had a point. Jalen reached out and squeezed her shoulder. “You may act tough on the outside, but I know that you have a kind and gracious heart. I just want to tell you that no matter what decisions you make, I will always be on your side.” “Got it. I hope your exhibit turns out a success.” “Thank you!” Jalen beamed at Hannah. She had never seen him so bright and happy before. When she finally entered her room, Hannah tossed her purse aside and heaved a long sigh. He padded over to her desk and sat in front of her computer. Ever since Bryson had walked out of her office, she hadn’t opened their WhatsApp conversation. The revelation from Rocco was like a boulder in her chest, a heavy and unshakable weight that was lodged in her heart. She fell into a daze, thinking about everything and nothing at the same time, when her phone rang. Hannah snapped back to her senses and answered the call.
