Fearing a prolonged interrogation if she didn’t reveal the truth, she said, “Sit down. I’ll tell you all about it.”
Seating Lydia, Hannah disclosed the events of the previous night.
“What?! You intended to keep such a significant incident from me?”
Lydia’s eyes widened with anger as she scolded, “Why didn’t you involve the police? And what’s Bryson thinking? Allowing that person to leave unscathed!”
“Even if we involve the police, it’s futile. Putting her in jail won’t yield information about the mastermind. She specializes in handling discreet matters for her employers. Even if I apprehend her, there are unseen eyes watching me.”
Lydia grew increasingly alarmed. Clasping Hannah’s hand tightly, she questioned, “Hannah, why do I sense that you’re in an exceptionally perilous situation this time? Who are these people?”

Anticipating Lydia’s question, Hannah shook her head.

“I know what to do. I’ll successfully sign the contract tomorrow, leaving Henry speechless!
As the two conversed, Hannah’s phone chimed.
Glancing at the table, she was taken aback by the caller ID. Picking up the phone, she greeted with a particularly gentle tone, “Grace?
Why the sudden call?”
“Hannah, my sick leave is concluding. The school counselor has summoned me back to Valmere in two days. I’ve booked a flight for tomorrow. When the plane lands in the afternoon, Hannah, could we have dinner together? My brother mentioned being swamped with work and unable to join me.”
Without hesitation, Hannah readily agreed, “I’ll arrange for someone to take you to the airport. Give me a call upon landing and I’ll be there to pick you up.”
Grace’s sweet smile radiated through the phone.
“Thank you, Hannah.
