Chapter 1404
Hanna just didn’t know… whether she could get this happiness.
Hanna continued to have her breakfast. Suddenly, her phone rang. She looked at her phone and found it was a call from her friend Shelly.
She hurriedly answered the phone, and Shelly’s anxious voice came through. “Hanna, have you seen the news today?”
“News?” Hanna was puzzled. “I just woke up not long ago, and I haven’t had a chance to check the news. Why? Did something big happen?”
“You should take a look right away. The photos of you and Calvin kissing each other when he sent you to the hospital yesterday are now trending topics!” Shelly said.
Hearing this, Hanna almost spat out the oatmeal in her mouth. “What? What did you say?”
“I mean, the photos of you and Calvin kissing each other are now trending topics. Although your face is blurred in the current trending photos, the original uploader didn’t blur your face at first. So, you’d better be mentally prepared. I’m afraid many people may have known about your relationship with Calvin,” Shelly explained.
Hanna was shocked. She had never considered that one day she would rank first on the trending topics.
Although she didn’t intend to hide her relationship with Calvin, who is the scion of the entertainment industry, she couldn’t help but think that she would be secretly photographed by reporters and gossiped about by many people in the future. She was still scared and worried.
“What’s the matter?” Calvin asked, noticing her change in expression.
“Well… Shelly said that the photos of you and me kissing in the hospital last night are now trending topics,” Hanna said, looking at him awkwardly. “Did I force a kiss on you last night?”
After all, Hanna knew that Calvin didn’t have feelings for her at all. There was someone else in his heart, so he couldn’t take the initiative to kiss her.
Calvin’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said, “It wasn’t exactly a forceful kiss.”
“What do you mean?” she blinked, asking.
“You asked for my permission before you kissed me last night, and I agreed,” he explained.
Hanna was speechless, and she sweated nervously. She thought, “Damn it! What did I do after getting drunk last night? She said, “Sorry… I’m sorry. I was drunk! If I make such a request to you again, you can just ignore me. You don’t have to agree with me!”
Calvin stared at her and asked, “So, do you regret it?”
Hanna was stunned. She suddenly remembered the scene where he looked at her with an intense gaze in the empty hospital and said, “If you’re sure you won’t regret it, then… okay.”
She couldn’t help but feel nervous. She bit her lips and said with a flushed face, “I… I didn’t regret it. I… I am just afraid of causing trouble to you.”
“You are my girlfriend. It’s naturally acceptable for you to kiss me, and it won’t bother me. If you didn’t regret what you did yesterday, I wouldn’t regret it,” Calvin said. “But I didn’t expect that there would be trending topics about us. I will deal with it later. You don’t have to worry. In Strico, no reporter dared to bother you here.”
Hanna signed in relief. Even if she didn’t say anything, he understood h
concerns.
A few hours later, the gossip about her kissing Calvin had been taken down from the internet. However, her friends, assistants at work, and some other people who knew her well all knew that Calvin was her boyfriend.
Even people on the film crew called to inquire about the truth.
Hanna could only respond vaguely to their questions.
Meanwhile, Christine was rushing into Lorin’s office in anger.
“Mr. Esther, I’m sorry. But this lady insisted on seeing you, and I couldn’t stop her…” the secretary said apologetically.
“It doesn’t matter. You can go out now,” Lorin said.
The secretary then left the office and closed the door. In the office, there were only Christine and Lorin.
“Have you already known that Hanna is dating Calvin?” Christine sternly asked. Now, her face with delicate makeup was full of anger and
frustration. And she didn’t seem as composed as usual.
“Yes,” Lorin answered without hesitation.
Suddenly, Christine only felt that what she said in front of Lorin after the reunion was like a joke.
She thought Hanna was just a lamb to be slaughtered as before, and she could easily step on Hanna again. She didn’t expect that now the lamb was attached to a lion, and she would be in serious trouble!
“Then why didn’t you tell me?! Did you intend to see that I played like a fool?” Christine scolded.
Compared with her anxiety, Lorin was extremely calm. He said, “No one wants to see that. If you don’t try to hurt Hanna, nothing will happen.”
Christine gritted her teeth angrily. “All I did was for you. I just want you to love me, and I don’t want her to take your attention.”
Lorin said mockingly, “Christine, you never really love me. You just want to find a sense of existence and victory in me. You just want others to flatter you. You just want to suppress those you don’t like and those who will overshadow you! Hanna had never done anything to you before, but you treated her in such a vicious way just because she was better at drawing comics! It’s the same!”
After a pause, Lorin smiled bitterly and said, “And I have become your accomplice. I was so blind that I would fall in love with someone like y and hurt someone who really liked me.”
“Lorin, since you know you
have been my accomplice, you should also know that if Hanna really wants to take revenge on us through Calvin, you’ll also be punished!” Christine said. “So, the most important thing we should do now is to unite again to deal with Hanna and figure out what happened between her and Calvin. It doesn’t make sense that Calvin will -fall in love with a woman like her…”
“I won’t help you to do anything,” Lorin interrupted her. “And I won’t cooperate with you.”
“Do you think you can get away with all these things?” Christine said it sarcastically.
“I never thought about that. Maybe it’s just time for me and you to pay the price,” Lorin murmured.
Christine’s expression changed. She said, “The price? If Hanna isn’t Calvin’s girlfriend, she wouldn’t be a big deal. There must have been something between them. Lorin, it’s okay if you don’t cooperate with me. I’d like to see what price you would pay!”
