Right in the middle of their conversation, Steven's tall figure came out of the room, clad only in a towel. Seeing Cornelia there didn't make him uncomfortable. He walked over to them with ease. "Think she'll have any other man besides me?"
"Oh, it's President Dixon." Cornelia suddenly lost interest.
"You don't seem too thrilled to see me?" Steven raised an eyebrow.
Cornelia snorted, "My feelings don't matter. What matters is Hannah. She's a good girl and I don't want her to get hurt."
"He won't hurt me. It's just sex. You can't even buy his skills with money, and I get to enjoy it for free." Hannah was nonchalant.
Cornelia and Steven were both speechless.
Hannah looked up, puzzled, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you're right." Cornelia admitted helplessly.
Steven glanced at Cornelia's big belly and then at Hannah's flat stomach, a bold idea popped into his head.
Seeing that there was no conflict between Hannah and Steven, Cornelia decided she should leave, "I'm going back to my room. You have filming tomorrow, get some rest."
"I'll walk you out." Hannah stood up.
"I'm just downstairs, no need." Cornelia refused.
"Alright. I won't walk you out then." Despite her words, Hannah still walked Cornelia to the door, "Cornelia, the lead actor has been changed, you know that, right?"
Cornelia nodded.
"From what I know, the crew plans to bring back the original lead actor, Callum. He's popular and talented. I think he's the best fit for the main character in your comics. Of course, I know who your inspiration was and Callum is still a bit off. But having him is already quite a bonus." Hannah said.
Cornelia knew Hannah was trying to reassure her. "Callum is indeed a better fit for the main character than Kellan. Can the crew get him back?"
Cornelia had watched most of Callum's TV shows, especially his mystery film last year. His acting skills had reached the peak in her opinion.
"Then stop being an actress." Steven suggested.
"Stop being an actress? President Dixon, are you offering to support me?" Hannah retorted.
Hannah's words were just a casual remark, but Steven seemed to be serious, "If you want, I might consider it."
Hannah almost fell off her chair, "I don't want that! President Dixon, you must not misunderstand."
She repeated it three times, as if afraid Steven would not hear her clearly.
Steven didn't say anything.
Hannah continued, "President Dixon, it's late. Shouldn't you go back? You should go back, don't make the woman you like wait too long, and don't do things that would hurt her. If you really love her, treat her well. You lost her once, and luckily you got her back. But if there's a second time, I think you might lose her forever."
"Trying to act noble in front of me?" Steven raised an eyebrow.
