She turns around only to see Micheal Mosby. Then Micheal walks over with a big smile as if he is having a very good relationship with her.
Hannah only felt awkward, and to keep a distance, she takes a step back and says, "My friend insisted on inviting me here. I didn't expect to meet you here, Dr. Mosby."
"Oh, well, I rarely met you at such a banquet before."
Our of the corner of her eyes, Hannah’ sees Rainy pulling a long face. Her eyes sparkle slightly, and she replies, "You know, Dr. Mosby, how could I come out for any banquet during these three years?"
Micheal is stunned. He didn't expect Hannah herself to mention this embarrassing story.
At this moment, a more delightful look appears in Rainy’s face, and she looks arrogant again just like before and says in slight disgust," Micheal is too busy to care about you. You should come up with such things, don't you feel embarrassed?"
After being ridiculed, Hannah deliberately shows an embarrassing look without saying a word.
Seeing that Micheal seems to feel guilty and is trying to speak for her, she suddenly says "Doctor Mosby, well, since Rainy is talking with you, I won't bother you two. I'll go and say hello to Mrs. Susan."
The word "bother" saves her from their awkward relationship.
Rainy is obviously happy, but because of the fact that she has just been rejected by someone, she pretends to resist, and snorts, "Who wants to talk to him?"
Hannah wants to laugh, but she still keeping the embarrassing expression on her face. Before Micheal could say anything, she leaves without looking back. After walking away, she vaguely hears Rainy's voice behind her," Micheal, you haven't contacted me since you left my house last time. Are you avoiding me?"
"..."
Hannah walks around at the banquet, and soon she finds Mrs. Susan among the crowds. Although it is her friend whose hot spring villa opens, she is much too busy engaging herself in the opening ceremony. She guesses Mrs. Susan also has shares in this villa.
"Hannah, come over." Mrs. Susan sees Hannah all of a sudden, smiling and saying hello to her.
Mrs. Susan is surrounded by many business people in suits and leather shoes. Seeing her bringing a strange woman over, she is a little curious.
"Who is this?"
"This is my new friend." Mrs. Susan takes Hannah's hand and pulls her closer. Then she introduces to everyone, "This is Hannah Joseph. She is a professional jewelry designer."
To Hannah’s surprise, Mrs. Susan did not mention the Shahbazs.
Normally, when one introduces a friend, she or he would try to impress others with the most memorable label that his or her friend owns. Naturally, the most distinctive label on Hannah is the identity of the Shahbazs’ daughter-in-law.
"Jewelry designer?" A man in his forties takes a glance at her and is a little puzzled. "Forgive me, I have seen most of the good jewelry designers in London, and I know all the names of them. But I have never heard of her."
The other men next to him looks at each other in doubt.
Mrs. Susan glares at him.
