Chapter 1296
Hannah wasnât particularly hungry, but seeing the message suddenly made her stomach grumble.
She was about to call the waiter when the sight of the man next to her instantly killed her appetite.
Steven had his eyes closed, but he seemed to sense her every move, âYouâre finally awake.â
Hannah didnât want to talk to him, but then he said, âYou havenât eaten anything in hours. Arenât you hungry? Why arenât you ordering anything?â
Why did he care if she was hungry?
Hannah said, âMr. Dixon.â
Steven said, âJust spit it out.â
Hannah said, âBelieve it or not, Iâm going to clarify one thing. I didnât deliberately snoop on your schedule, and it really is a coincidence that. Iâm on the same flight as you.â
Steven chuckled, âCoincidence? You really believe in so many coincidences?â
Hannah rolled her eyes in annoyance, âForget it if you donât believe me.â
He shrugged nonchalantly, âYou probably wouldnât have been able to find out my flight, but finding out yours was a piece of cake.â
Hannah asked, âWhat do you mean?â
He looked at her with a âyouâre-such-an-idiotâ expression, âI knew youâd be on this flight home, so I had my assistant arrange to sit next to
you.â
Hannah was speechless.
As she stared at him in shock, Steven reached up and playfully ruffled her hair, âAfter all these years, your IQ doesnât seem to have improved.â Hannah slapped his hand away, âWhy are you doing this?â
She should have seen this coming. She had been stupid.
He lifted a strand of her hair and twirled it around his fingers, âBecause Iâm afraid youâre being used without even realizing it.â
Hannah asked, âSo youâre saying youâre helping me?â
Seeing her clumsy yet adorable reaction, Steven couldnât help but feel amused, âWhat else? You think I have so much time and energy to deal with a small-time actress like you?â
His words hit her hard.
It really hurt!
Jared was the most popular actor at the moment; he had talent, he had fans, and he was the dream guy for many girls.
However, in the eyes of a businessman like Steven, Jared was just an entertainer, a small-time actor.
Like Jared, Hannah had talent, and she had fans. She was idolized by many. But to Steven, she was just an entertainer, a small-time actress, a dog without dignity.
Hannah said lightly, âOh.â
Steven asked, âOh? What are you thinking about now?â
Hannah said, âWell, thank you. But I hope you wonât interfere with my affairs in the future. I can handle them myself.â
Steven said, âYou can handle them? Do you know what Jared and your assistant would have done to you if I werenât here today?â
Hannah looked up at him as if she could have an equal conversation with him this way. âWhy would you care what theyâd do to me?â
Steven stated, âWeâve only been divorced for a short while, and youâre already so independent?â
Hannah, âPresident Dixon, do you remember that weâre divorced? I thought youâd forgotten.â
Steven said, âI havenât seen you in over a month, and youâre starting to sound like Marcâs woman. Iâd advise you not to hang out with her too much; sheâll be a bad influence on you.â
