The receptionist knocked on the general manager’s door and swung it open.
“Manager, the visitor has arrived.”
Inside, Henry Phillips, Lydia’s brother, was engrossed in a card game with his friends, cash piled high on the table.
Hannah squinted her eyes. It was clear that Henry had a gambling problem. Even during his work hours, he couldn’t resist gambling with a bunch of people.
“ALL right, you may Leave now.”

“Yes, sir.”
The receptionist exited, a touch of discomfort on her face.
Once the receptionist had the door shut, Henry swiveled to face Hannah.
In that instant, he abruptly abandoned the cards and rose from his seat, approaching Hannah.
“You… Are you a friend of my sister?”
Lydia had brought Hannah to the Phillips family’s villa several times, leaving a deep impression on Henry.
Her beauty, innocence, and lack of worldly experience had captured Henry’s heart and made him develop feelings for her.
But when Henry saw Hannah today, he found it even more impossible to look away. She had grown even more stunning and charismatic than he remembered!
“It’s you, Hannah!” Henry exclaimed and approached her with a smile.
“You’ve become even more gorgeous.”

Hannah’s brow creased, her tone even.
“My visit is strictly for project discussions…”
After saying that, she glanced at the card table, where several men looked at her.
With a hint of sternness, without a trace of a smile, Hannah queried, “Is this where our meeting will take place?”
Henry, nonchalant, adjusted his attire and gestured for Hannah to sit by him.
“Yes, we can converse here. My father’s absent today.”
Henry positioned himself across from Hannah, his attention undivided on her.
“I’ve heard you’re single now. Have you met someone new?”
Hannah’s hold on the contract tightened, her patience waning. She slid the contract towards Henry, her expression icy.
