“I’m just… worried he’s petty and might target you because of this.”
Yves frowned, stroking his chin. “Oh no, what ever shall I do?”
His exaggerated tone and expression made Hannah laugh. She looked up and met his eyes.
For a moment, they just looked at each other, and then Yves smiled too.
“So, are you really set on that business trip?”
Hannah nodded.
Yves didn't argue any further and approved her request.
Hannah returned to her hotel to pack her bags before heading to the airport.

The Rosenberg Group, CEO's Office.
Owen walked in with a tablet and handed it to Lionel. “Mr. Rosenberg, we found her. Mrs. Rosenberg booked a room at The Azure for a month a few days ago, and she just booked a flight to Ryth!”
“She’s still going!”
Lionel stared at the tablet, a sharp pain twisting in his chest as he looked at Hannah’s name.
“Have the airport staff stop her! Get the car, we’re going to pick her up now.”
He put down the tablet and stood up, heading for the airport.
That contract fee—Yves was bluffing. There had to be something else at play besides the money. No matter what, he had to bring Hannah back.

At the airport.
After checking in, Hannah was heading to her gate when she heard a commotion nearby.
“Rich people are something else, stopping people at the airport. I hope this doesn't delay my flight. I have a concert to get to.”
“This is beyond rich. There must be some serious power behind this to mobilize so many people.”
