Hannah subtly turned her head to look behind her. Inside the car, her father was on the phone and her mother was fast asleep. Farley was engrossed in his mobile game. Farley was tall and powerful, and perhaps, he could handle the man who had been bothering her. But he was young and unpredictable. Hannah couldn't take that risk. Her father was getting on in years, and he was definitely no match for this madman.
What could she do if she couldn't ask her family for help?
......
Back in the car.
When Steven saw a man chatting up Hannah, and Hannah responding him with a smile, he was so furious he wanted to go out and kick the guy away. But remembering that Hannah didn't exactly fancy him, he had to bear with it. In order to prevent himself from doing something rash, he turned away and didn't notice the unusual situation with Hannah.
It was Rick who had been vigilantly observing Hannah. After a while, he noticed something amiss, "President Dixon, I think I've seen that man before. He looks like the stalker who was following Mrs. Dixon a year ago."d2
As soon as he finished speaking, the car door was flung open and their boss rushed out like a bolt of lightning. Rick sighed, "Men!"
......
Just as Hannah was anxiously thinking of what to do, a tall figure appeared beside her as swift as lightning. Before she could react, the man who had been harassing her was subdued by the tall figure, "Rick, you handle this guy. I don't want to see him again."
Rick nodded, "Yes."
This time, Hannah obediently followed him and got into his car. Steven took out a tube of ointment from the glove box and gently applied it to her wrist, "This will reduce the swelling and bruising, so your wrist won't be bruised."
Hannah watched him tenderly apply the ointment, feeling a warmth spreading in her heart, "How did you happen to be here?"
Steven finished applying the ointment, then looked up at her, "Why do you think I would be here?"
Hannah looked down and mumbled, "If you don't tell me, how should I know?"
She had a hunch, but didn't dare to voice it. She was afraid that she was overthinking and that he would mock her.
