With a gentle but firm touch, Caleb raised Henry from the floor and realigned his dislocated shoulder.
“Please accompany me outside, Mr. Phillips. You’ll need to review the contract.”
Exiting through the door, the duo left Hannah alone.
As the door closed, Caleb, with a polite smile, detained her.
“Miss, kindly wait here. Once the contract is meticulously drafted, I’1l bring Mr. Phillips back.”
Hannah, silent but agreeable, nodded.

The door softly shut, plunging the room into an abrupt hush.

Meeting his gaze, Hannah displayed no surprise, as if his identity was a foregone conclusion.
“Did Brayden inform you of my arrival? So, this is your domain,”
Hannah remarked with indifference.

Bryson closed the distance to Hannah with deliberate steps. Amidst the room’s stillness, only the hushed cadence of men treading on carpeted flooring accompanied Hannah’s voice.
Unyielding, Hannah raised her head to scrutinize the man before her.
“He incurred a fifty million debt at your casino. Did you purposefully indulge him? When did your scheming against him commence?”
Stationary before Hannah, Bryson maintained a silent gaze.
Surveying the man’s attractive visage, Hannah pursed her lips and uttered, “But thank you nonetheless…”
Before she could conclude, the man took action. He lifted the mask adorning Hannah’s face.
Bryson, holding the rabbit mask, playfully smiled, “Don’t misunderstand my intentions. It’s not all about aiding you.”
