Hannah glanced at his computer screen, commenting, “But your work isn’t finished yet.” “Can you wait for me for half an hour?”
His gaze met hers with sincerity.
Under their locked gaze, Hannah's heart skipped a beat, feeling butterflies in her stomach.
She looked away and compromised, “Okay, but no more than half an hour. Not even a minute more.” “Alright.”
Noah immediately returned to his seat, quickly getting back into focus to tackle his pending tasks. Later that evening, they arrived at the bar.
The ambiance was lively, with colorful lights and chatter.
When Hannah and Noah arrived, most other guests had already gathered in the private room, enjoying themselves.
Noah, deeply engrossed in medical research for years, had never concerned himself with affairs of the Lawson Group or attended any social gatherings.
He did not enjoy the heavy atmosphere of alcohol, frowning as soon as he stepped in, looking aloof and detached. Hannah sensed his discomfort.
As they entered, she whispered to him, “If you’re not comfortable, you can wait outside or take a cab back to the Moore Mansion.”
She quickly put on a warm smile as she turned her attention back to the room. However, Noah grabbed her wrist, his tone slightly awkward.

She removed Noah's hand from her wrist and walked in alone. Inside, people greeted her warmly.
Some noticed the man behind her and commented, “I heard your engagement with the Fuller family didn’t work out. Is this your new love interest? He’s so handsome!”
Hannah turned back and saw Noah had not left, standing silently behind her.
She flashed a smile and explained, “He’s my new secretary. | brought him here to get acquainted with the scene.” After exchanging light pleasantries with the other CEOS, Hannah quietly approached Noah.
“What are you doing here? This place isn’t suitable for you. You should leave.”
Noah shook his head resolutely.
“If you can adapt to this kind of scene, | have no reason to feel uncomfortable.”
Since he insisted, Hannah did not push further. Instead, she took his hand and led him to an empty sofa, where they sat down together.
Noah lowered his head, staring at the hand she held.
The warmth of her palm felt reassuringly real.
Throughout the evening, Noah blocked all the toasts meant for Hannah as drinks were passed around.
After three rounds of drinking, a rosy flush appeared on Noah’s handsome face, and he seemed noticeably tipsy. Hannah shook her head helplessly.
Drinking this much on an empty stomach and still holding up after three rounds showed his good tolerance.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
