Chapter 1998
He walked over to the door and opened it to find Remington standing outside in a suit.
Mr.
Lyons, what brings you here so early? Im here for Miss Moore.
I heard that she stayed here with you last night, Remington replied indifferently.
Leaning against the door, Maloney looked at Remington and said, Yes It would be normal for my fiancee to sleep here, dont you think? Remington frowned at his choice of words.
May I speak to Miss Moore? Before Maloney could say a word, Hannah stepped forward and greeted Remington with a warm smile.
Good morning, Mr.
Lyons.
Its quite early for you to be here.
What can I do for you? I want to take you out for breakfast, Remington said.
Hannah smiled warmly and said, Thank you, Mr.
Lyons, but theres no need to trouble yourself.
My fiance has already brought me breakfast this morning.
Remington nodded.
Understood.
Ill see you at the race track.
Okay.
They watched him leave and soon realized that the other two bodyguards stationed outside the door had vanished as well.
Perhaps the race was about to start, and with heightened security, they werent concerned about Hannah attempting to leave.
Maloney closed the door and walked up to her.
I think Remington likes you.
Hannah glanced at him but didnt utter a word.
Dont give me that look.
You dont believe me? Its just a mans intuition.
The way he looked at you now is different from how he looked at you before.
Now Im convinced he has a crush on you.
Whether its because youre the daughter of the head of the Compton family or for some other reason, its clear he treats you differently from everyone else.
Hannah sighed.
I know.
I can see it myself.
Its pretty obvious.
Maloney plopped on the sofa, eyeing Hannah with curiosity.
Arent you worried about this? On one hand, Remington clearly has feelings for you, but on the other hand, his father wants you dead.
Its Like something straight out of a movie, isnt it? Hannah shot him a disdainful look and said, Id much rather be in a movie right now.
At least that wouldnt come with all this hassle.
Lets not forget that your actual boyfriend is still in Cadilind.
Are you thinking of balancing one relationship in Cadilind while marrying someone else here? Maloney asked, arching an eyebrow.
You must be out of your mind.
Hannah rolled her eyes at Maloney and said, Its becoming clear why the Pierce family is so eager for a new successor.
Hey! Maloney was visibly annoyed by her response.
Thats a personal attack.
Dont even think of comparing me to Leif.
Im concerned that you might find it hard to stay focused and end up juggling relationships with two people at once.
Thanks to the little joke, Hannahs mood became calm and relaxed.
No more idle chatter.
The horse race starts in two hours.
Lets head downstairs and check out the racetrack, she said.
Okay.novelbin
When they arrived at the racetrack, the grandstand was already packed with people.
At the racetrack, many people were dressed in horse riding suits, but Hannah didnt recognize any of them.
