Meanwhile, Hannah had reached the lake and ran into an unexpected person.
It was none other than the CEO of the Compton Group and the acting head of the Compton family, Keith Compton.
Judging from what he was wearing, it seemed that he had just returned from a ride. A couple of people were fussing over him, wiping his sweat and passing him a tumbler of water.
Hannah paused in her tracks and hoped that they hadn’t noticed her.
She turned on her heel and was about to hightail it out of there when Keith called out her name.
“Miss Moore?”
He cut a very imposing figure, she had to give him that. He handed the tumbler back to the man next to him and walked up to Hannah.
“Are you taking a walk?”
His tone was awfully familiar. She couldn’t help but take a step back.
“Yes, I was just done, actually. Well, don’t let me keep you, Mr. Compton.”
“We have excellent chefs in the premises. I wonder, Miss Moore, would you like to share a meal with me?”

Keith was smiling warmly at her, but all that Hannah could think about was that she had to stay as far away from this man as she possibly could.
“No, thank you,” she said, taking another step back.
“I have something else to do, so I’ll go now.”
Keith didn’t try to stop her again. He watched her walk away, his smile turning wistful.
“You just go and invite her to dinner as soon as you meet her?

You’re going to scare her that way, man.” A younger man who bore a stark resemblance to Keith walked over from behind him.
“I already told you that it won’t work, so why did you still do it?”
“Well, why didn’t you speak up, then?” Keith raised an eyebrow at him.
Trent patted Keith on the shoulder.
“Why didn’t you just follow my advice in the first place? You should really rethink your tactics.
You’re being too hasty. She’s already on guard as it is, how can you expect her to dine with someone she just met? As for me, I intend to win her over with a pure and straightforward approach.”
Keith cast him a warning glance.
“Don’t push her too hard. If this falls apart, Dad is going to punish you when he returns.”
