Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1720 âHah. Sure enough, youâve changed. You were so offhand with me back then,â Hannah said on purpose.
âBack then, I was⦠not smart indeed.â Shaun shot a neutral look at the dress in the display case. âIf you like it, I can give it to you as a gift.â
âArenât you afraid that Catherine will find out?â Hannahâs red lips curled.
âOur relationship ended long ago. â Shaun looked impassive.
ââ¦Forget it. I donât want the dress.â Hannah suddenly raised her brows and said pensively, âI was interested in the dress, but it hit me that it wouldnât suit me.â
âAlright, then. I wonât bother you further, Miss Mead.â Shaun immediately turned around.
At the sight of his tall and noble figure, Hannah gritted her teeth with discontent. âShaun, why bother?
You were only in the company for three days, and you had been chased out. It did not take long for the news to spread throughout Canberra and make you the object of ridicule.â
âSoâ¦â Shaun turned sideways, but his handsome face remained indifferent.
âAs long as you please me, no one will dare look down on you anymore. My dad is a minister, and heâs highly regarded by the prime minister. He is said to be high above the masses, â Hannah said smugly.
âThatâs interesting.â Shaun nodded and walked up to her. His mouth curved into a charming smile.
Hannahâs heart raced at the sight of him. He approached her until she stopped at the display case.
Then, he pressed one hand against the case and gazed down at her with his dazzlingly handsome face.
âTell me how I should please you.â Shaun pinched her chin gently.
As Hannah fixed her eyes on his dark eyes, her heart was thumping madly.
Who said he had become a fool? Could a fool be this charming?
It dawned on Hannah that this imposing man in front of her was head and shoulders above her pursuers.
âWell⦠Have a meal with me thenâ¦â ââ¦Sure.â
Shaunâs thin lips quivered, and a dull gleam flashed across his eyes without her noticing it.
At the Hill familyâs manor.
When Catherine drove into the manor, Aunty Yasmine walked out. âMiss Jones, youâre back from the Yule familyâs house.â
âMm.â
Catherine glanced around the car park. When she was in the Yule familyâs house, Freya told her on the phone that Shaun was chased out of Hill Corporation this morning and that Hill Corporation had been renamed Jere Corporation.
Shortly after, the news had spread like wildfire across Canberra.
She was hesitant for some time. However, she was worried that Shaun could not get over it, so she decided to come over.
âYoung Master Hill has gone to the office. â Aware of her intention, Aunty Yasmine said, âHeâs been busy recently. He only came back at 10 p.m. last night.â
Catherine frowned. Shaun asked her not to be bothered with matters related to Hill Corporation, but she did not have the faintest idea of what he had been busy with.
Nevertheless, Shaun may no longer need to go to work from today onward.
âAunty Yasmine, please prepare more of his favorite dishes later.â After a momentâs hesitation, Catherine said with a deep voice.
âLook, Miss Jones. Youâre still concerned about Young Master Hill. I really donât understand whatâs going on between both of you young people. The two of you were so close with each other a few days ago, yet now⦠Alas, forget it. Iâm going to start cooking.â
Aunty Yasmine wanted to poke fun at Catherine at first. Upon noticing Catherineâs embarrassed expression, Aunty Yasmine bit her tongue and went to cook instead.
