Chapter 1104
Rosie said, âAfter all these years, Iâve gotten used to his care. I canât even imagine what Iâd be like without him.â
Hannah said, âYouâve been talking a while, basically just showing off your loving relationship to usâ
Rosie said. âWeâve been marned for quite a while, is it still considered showing off our intimacy? If youâre talking about intimacy, Cornelia and her husband take the cakeâ
Hannah tumed to Comelia, âComelia, we three rarely get the chance to sit down together like this. Could you share some stuff about you and your husband? We never really got a chance to chat with you after you guys went public.â
Comelia said, âIf you guys are really interested, letâs find a place to sit down and talkâ
Rosle said, âI suggest we find a quiet coffee shop.â
Comelia said, âSure, Iâll take care of itâ
As the personal assistant to the president of the Hartley Group, Cornelia was quite familiar with the coffee shops in Riverton. Keeping in mind that Hannah was a popular actress, a regular coffee shop wouldnât do, so Cornelia booked a nearby coffee shop that was particularly good at protecting customer privacy This coffee shop was membersâonly, very secretive about its customersâ information and had a great ambiance. There was nothing to complain about, but it wasnât cheap
After Cornelia booked a private room, she drove them to the coffee shop. It was close by, so they arrived in just a few minutes.
The coffee shop was expensive and not crowded, each room was far apart, so they didnât have to worry about being overheard.
Hannah looked around the room as soon as she entered. Rosie put down her bag, and settled in a seat by the window, âHannah, are you looking for something?â Hannah said, âIâm just worried there might be hidden cameras, thatâs all.â
Comelia quickly closed the curtains with a remote, âHidden cameras are a big issue these days, you have to be careful. Especially you, being a public figure. A single picture can easily be used for spreading rumors.â
Hannah said, âYou guys must have heard about the rumors about me, right?â
Cornelia didnât really follow celebrity news, but Hannah was very popular, so she knew a bit about her gossip, âIâve heard some.â
âYeah, there are a lot of rumors about you. Like youâre a kept woman or something Rosie said with a chuckle, âWho can compete with President Dixon? Even if someone wanted to keep you, theyâd have to get President Dixonâs approval first.â
Hannah gave a wry smile, âIs it possible that Steven is the one in the rumors?â
Rosie said. âThatâs an interesting thought! Do tell us more.â
Hannah said, âActually, those rumors about me arenât totally unfounded. I claim to be single, but Iâve been with Steven for many years, so itâs inevitable that weâd be secretly photographed. The paparazzi released all my photos, but didnât dare to release Stevenâs. So, the rumor that Iâm kept by a rich man startedâ
Rosie said, âWhy donât you guys go public? Are you worried that the news of your marriage would affect your acting career?â
Hannah gave a slight smile, but didnât respond. To them, it seemed like Hannah had tacitly accepted this reason.
Only Hannah knew that although she and Steven were technically married and had done intimate things as a married couple, he didnât love her. All along, she was just a substitute that Steven kept around as a compromise
She was just an unpublicized stand in.
