“One more thing, don’t wear this ever again. It looks horrible on you.” Calvin commented. Hannah felt
angrier as he insulted her choice of clothing. “Calvin, why do you want me to throw away clothes that
were specifically given to me by Jay?” He shrugged his shoulders and answered, “Because they’re
ugly.” “You…” Before Hannah could argue, he grabbed onto her arm tightly. “Why? Don’t you think so?”
He growled as he rubbed her arm. “Ouch!” Hannah hissed in pain. “Mrs. Fullerton.” He gradually let go
of his grip on her and warned. “This is your second time meeting with that jack*ss.” Jack*ss? Although
taken aback from his words, Hannah was intimidated by the drastic change of his tone. Calvin smiled
and said, “Besides, you can always buy new clothes.” “But didn’t you mention that it is always important
to be grateful for everything? I would feel bad if you threw them out.” Hannah argued. “Do you feel bad
because of the clothes, or because it was from Jay?” Calvin raised his brows as he asked. This
b*stard’s trying to make fun of me! Hannah bit her lip and stormed to her bedroom, while Calvin
followed her. “Why are you following me?” Hannah turned her head around and asked. “To check if you
will use the disinfectant.” “But I’ll be…” It took Hannah a second to get what he meant and asked, “Are
you really going to follow me?” “Why?” Calvin sneered. “Worry not, I don’t think I’ll lay my hand on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomething as filthy as you.” Hannah glared back in response to Calvin’s comment. She was then urged
by Calvin to go into the bathroom once they entered her bedroom. She stared blankly at the bathtub for
a while and felt utterly uncomfortable. “Calvin.” She peeked her head out and called out to him. “This is
quite uncomfortable for me.” “What do you mean uncomfortable?” Calvin looked at her confused. “I’m
going to take a bath… which means you can see me from outside.” She uttered. “Have I not seen you
naked before?” He answered nonchalantly. “Calvin!” Hannah shrieked. “Hmm?” He smiled. “Fine.” She
knew he wouldn’t budge no matter what she said, so she decided to let it slide. A curtain stood
between the bathtub and the glass wall of the bathroom. It didn’t make a difference as it was
translucent. She slowly undressed herself while ignoring Calvin’s stare. It’s fine, he’s my husband.
Hannah thought to herself as she filled the bathtub with hot water. Once the bathtub was almost filled
up and the room was steamy, Hannah turned the temperature of the water down. She hurriedly dived
into the tub once she had undressed herself to her undergarments. Calvin chuckled upon the sight. He
was not obsessed with any woman till he met Hannah. Calvin would always feel content whenever she
would embarrass herself. After a while, he shouted at the steamy bathroom, “I’m still here watching
you, make sure to use the soap three times.” Hannah silently cursed as the water continued to fill the
tub. “I can hear you cursing.” Calvin looked at his watch and said, “You should start disinfecting.” In
reality, he couldn’t see anything from outside and purely speculated based on the time and the sound
of water. Hannah rolled her eyes and groaned loudly, “I know!” When Calvin noticed the smell of
disinfectant, he nodded proudly and walked out of her room. As he walked to his study, he received a
message from Cindy. “Calvin, listen to my latest demo! I recorded it just now…” He glanced at
Hannah’s room before deleting the message. If things were to go according to plan, his date with Cindy
would become a hot topic on the Internet by tomorrow. However, he knew that Cindy wouldn’t mind as
she was in the midst of boosting her own popularity for her business. Indeed, this would benefit him at
times of need too. … Ciel had been waiting for hours in the study room. He was Calvin’s secretary, a
patient, loyal and dependable man. “Any news on the Elkins family?” Calvin asked once he set foot
onto his study room. The Elkins family business was under a difficult financial situation for the past few
years. Thanks to Tracy’s relationship with Liam, they remained a highly respected family. However,
Liam’s death had a big impact on the Elkins family and Calvin started observing them recently. “Ms.
Tracy had placed great importance on the tender plan. After reading through the tender proposal, I can
confirm Mr. Liam was highly involved in the planning and was confirmed by him too.” Ciel reported.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCalvin picked out a book from his huge collection and placed it on his study table, “So?” He asked
while wearing his golden-framed glasses. “Ms. Tracy had expressed that she knew she would win the
bid,” Ciel gulped nervously before continuing, “There was also a rumor talking about foul play, stating
that the Forbes Group would let her do so.” “Release an announcement tomorrow, emphasizing the
fairness of the tender.” Calvin sat on his chair and ordered, “It’s foolish for Tracy to use my brother as
leverage. She should prove it on her own instead.” I would’ve laid some mercy upon her, but seeing
how greedy she is now… He added. “Quality comes first for all tender plans. I’m surprised you would
make such an amateur mistake.” Ciel hung his head low and apologized, “Sorry, sir. It’ll not happen
again.” Calvin didn’t bother to press on the issue anymore and asked, “Any updates about the incident ”
Ciel immediately passed him the documents and answered, “It was indeed Ms. Tracy’s doing, sir.”
Calvin didn’t comment any further as he had expected this. He felt relieved that it wasn’t Hannah’s
doing after all and he couldn’t care less about Tracy. “One more thing.” Ciel took out an envelope and
passed it to Calvin, “This is my report about Mr. Liam’s whereabouts a week before he died.” Calvin
asked, “Did you record everything in detail?” Ciel nodded and continued, “Yes, sir, and I found
something odd. That week, Mr. Liam had visited a girl three times, but I couldn’t find anything about
her.”
