Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1029
There were a number of luxury cars parked right in front of the entrance to the building where her
company was based out of. The black Rolls Royce between the white Lincolns was especially eye-
catching.
To the front of the Rolls Royce stood two uniform rows of five men with arms akimbo, all dressed in
black suits and shades. Between them were two individuals in a similar getup, one of whom was
closer to the fore. The difference with this one was the exceptional make of his suit which
accentuated his frame perfectly.
The pair of shades added an air of mystery about him. Underneath it was a chiseled face which
evoked an unfathomable charisma.
The one right behind him who had a large bouquet of fresh red roses in hand yet appeared oddly
out of place.
Hannah was positively smitten. Her jaw hit the floor before she swallowed hard. Is this some
profession of love? Cause if that is, it is way too awesome!
When she thought about her own predicament, she could only lament. Never mind this sort of
confession, I should be thanking my lucky stars if that aloof man does not try to boss me around
Hannah shrugged. She took a quick glance toward the man as she shifted to the side and prepared
to leave.
Huh? Why did that smile resembled Fabianâs? Hannah shook her head vigorously, and wondered
what had gotten into herself recently. She wondered why she kept compulsively thinking about him
âHannah!â
âHuh?â She turned back and replied instinctively upon hearing her own name called.
Hmm? She started looking around. It did not seem like anyone was calling her. Have I misheard?
âOver here."
A voice seemed within earshot. This time she lifted her head in the direction of its source.
Hannah's eyes widened. The one calling her was none other than the mysterious man who was at
the center of everyone's attention. And that man was none other than Fabian. How could this not
had taken Hannah by surprise.
Her lips parted in abject disbelief.
Does Fabian stage this for me?
She had to pinch herself on the arm to make sure she was not dreaming.
Ouch. That hurts. Instead of frowning, Hannah's face was filled with excitement. That feeling,
however, dissipated instantaneously when she saw the people around her.
She reverted to her usual sedateness.
At this moment, Fabian had received the roses from his assistant and was making his way over.
The onlookers looked on in bated breath, and strained their ears to pick up on whatever was being
said.
Fabianâs well-crafted dress shoes tapped crisply upon the ground with an almost melodic quality.
âThank you for accepting my interview the last time, Mr. Norton.â Hannah tried very hard to
suppress her own delight. She smiled courteously and pretended to not know Fabian well.
"You're welcome, Ms. Young. It was something I wanted to do myself as well.â Fabian smiled slyly. He
read her thoughts so instead of exposing her, followed up fittingly.
If this is how you want to roll, I'll play along.
Fabian looked over to the eyes in the crowd which were transfixed upon them and laughed. He had
not really taken care of her too well so he considered this a form of reparation.
The man suddenly took to one knee, with back straightened and head tilted up. His expression
evoked a certain elegance and his eyes burned with passion as they gazed intently upon Hannah.
âI've fallen for you from the very first time we've met, Ms. Young. Through the process of our
interviews, I've only grown more certain of my feelings and after much deliberation, I've decided to
confess my affections for you. Ms. Young, I hope that you could give me a chance to date you.â
Fabian finished his declaration with sincerity before he extended the roses forward, his eyes locked
imploringly upon Hannah as he waited patiently for her answer.
âCome one! Say yes!" Someone in the crowd cheered and the others started to chorus after him.
