Hannah slowly drummed her fingers on the table.
“What’s wrong? I was just asking a question. Why are you so nervous?”
Gritting his teeth, Franklyn swallowed his pride and dropped to his knees.
“Boss! You warned me not to cross the line, but I… I didn’t listen to your advice. I deliberately caused Homecoming trouble.”
Hannah’s expression turned cold.
“It seems that I have been remiss in paying attention to the goings-on around here. Why don’t you review the rules I’ve set? You must have forgotten all about them. Why do you think we bought the territories in Valmere with cash?”
Franklyn lowered his head and didn’t say a word. Clive did as well, standing to the side in silence.
“Even after everything, you still want to dip your hands into other people’s profits? How greedy can you get?”
Caleb was stunned by what he was hearing. He had indeed met Hannah once in the casino over at Homecoming.
At the time, the only thing he took note of were her impressive gambling skills and her seemingly close relationship with his boss.
To think that she was actually Franklyn’s superior, the very person that Caleb had been having a hard time identifying!
His mind was racing as he wondered how he should relay this information to his boss when Hannah’s voice pulled him back to the present.
“Mr. Dury, I apologize on behalf of my men. What do you propose we do with them? Please feel free to suggest a suitable punishment.”
Caleb snapped into attention. He knew that his boss had feelings for Hannah. Even if he brought this matter up to the man, Caleb was fairly confident that his boss would not blame her in any way.

“It’s all right, Miss Moore. It’s just a misunderstanding, after all.
Since no significant loss has been incurred, and for old times’ sake as well, we should just let this matter go.
Hannah cocked her head to the side and peered at Caleb.
“Does your boss share the same sentiment, or are you acting based on your own assumptions?”
“Please don’t joke around, Miss Moore. Our boss would not bother getting involved in such a trifle in the first place. It really is just a misunderstanding, isn’t it? Besides, you are well-acquainted with him. I see no point in stirring the pot for something so trivial.” Caleb made a show glancing at his watch then added, “I’ve been here for quite a while now. I need to head back to Homecoming.
Thank you for your time, Miss Moore.”
Hannah drew in a sharp breath.
“You seem very busy, Mr. Dury. Do be careful on your way.”
Seeing his chance to escape, Caleb immediately stood up and walked out of the room, clicking the door shut behind him.
Hannah turned her attention to the man kneeling on the floor.
