The moment she answered, his deep, angry voice came through the line.
“Get over here and report for your first day. Don’t cause any more trouble for me!”
Before Hannah could respond, he hung up.
Tess, sitting close by, had heard every word. She knew Hannah’s marriage was unhappy, but she hadn’t realized it was this bad.
“Men are all the same once they get successful!” she fumed, her anger rising on Hannah’s behalf. “If you hadn’t saved him, he would have died on the street. He wouldn’t be some big-shot Mr. Lionel Rosenberg! That bastard, he’ll get what’s coming to him!”
Hannah handed her a tissue. “You’re right, he will. Don’t waste your anger on him.”
Tess looked at Hannah through tear-filled eyes. She had hoped Hannah could mediate, but now…
“Hannah, I’ll handle this myself. I wasn’t the one who posted it. I have nothing to hide. It’s not like he owns the whole city!”
Hannah managed a weary smile. “I’ll talk to him. Your time is too valuable to be wasted on this.”
Tess was reluctant to put her in a difficult position, but after some persuasion, she agreed.
Shortly after, Tess received a call from her boss and had to leave.
Coincidentally, the man who had been spreading rumors about Yves arrived. He spotted Hannah and excitedly pulled out a Polaroid camera, asking for her autograph.
“My idol! Wow, I can’t believe I’m seeing you in person today.”
Hannah and Yves exchanged confused glances.
