Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1027
Hannah snorted, “Isn’t that better than being someone else’s mistress?”
That irked Regina to no end and had others looking on in anticipation of the ensuing drama. Hannah kept her head down and turned her attention back to her phone. Regina did not want to get snapped and featured on Twitter for all the wrong reasons, so she could only restrain herself and gnash her teeth at Hannah.
When they arrived at their stop, Hannah was the first one to exit the train. Regina, who was hampered by her damned platform heels, struggled to make her way out. She also got groped and her bag tugged at by opportunists in the process for her troubles.
Regina’s eyes were reddened in anger and humiliation but managed to leave the train. The hair which she spent so much time styling was ruined as well. Ultimately, she blamed it all on Hannah.
Hannah minded her own business and shut out all the noise which surrounded her. Owing to her promotion, she had the privilege of moving to a bigger office where she could focus herself on gathering news on Fabian.
Hannah put down her pen. Having been an entertainment reporter for some time, she was adept at the usage of language. She got down to typing, determined to get back at Fabian.
For instance, she portrayed Fabian as a serial skirt-chaser or exaggerated things between him and certain celebrities.
In the end, she got called into the office after the review of her noontime submission.
The balding senior editor wanted her to do something about this negative portrayal of Fabian. “Readers are seriously going to lampoon this bad writing of yours!”
There was no way Hannah could refuse to comply as Bob’s point were well reasoned. She had only intended to punk Fabian so she had no choice but to get it reedited.
Hannah switched up a few things, deleted some, and inserted a few lines here and there before bringing it over to her boss, who was surprisingly happy with the changes and had the edited copy sent out to print. Hannah was not expecting to be able to be off the hook long before the day was done.
Bob was in fact effusive with his praise for Hannah, which left the eavesdropping Regina feeling a little sour outside the doors.
