Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 289

My question seemed to catch Hannah off guard as she turned to me, asking in return, "You didn't know?"

"Hmm!" I nodded, "I don't remember asking. You said you were here because of my parents' arrangement, I assumed it was Bennett's doing. I trust him, so naturally, I trust you! No need for further questions."

Hannah chuckled mischievously, "And now you're asking?"

"By curiosity!" I didn't hide my thoughts, "With such impressive skills, you can't be just an ordinary person! How would my parents know someone like you?"

"Yes, I work for Mr. Richardson!" Hannah replied confidently, "For 8 years!"

"Oh wow!" I exclaimed, thinking to myself, I've been away from Ronan for twelve years, but this girl has been working for him for 8 years. Somehow, it felt odd that during the years I lost, she had always been there.

"That long?" I commented, a little late on the uptake.

"Yes, I was assigned to him right after my special training ended!" She disclosed my curiosity without any hesitation, and it sounded so grand.

Just the term 'special training' sounded cool, especially coming from a woman like her.

"Working in his company?" I was genuinely surprised, looking at her enviously, "May I ask your age then?"

"I turned 26 this year." Hannah answered straightforwardly, without any hint of evasion, "To be precise, I follow his orders as a part of his special team, not just the company!"

My appetite suddenly faded. This was too enviable, being able to be by his side, knowing all his secrets, "You...do you know about him..." I found myself unable to continue, after all, Ronan was a man of secrets. I didn't know if Hannah knew about Bennett's hidden identity.

Seeming to understand my thoughts, Hannah directly answered the question I was about to ask, "I'm his off-the-books team member."

I asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"

She pondered a moment, as if thinking about how to answer my question, then smiled and said seriously, "That means I am part of his entourage, but my identity is not publicly disclosed."
