Jarvis asked, "Has Steven ever told you he loves you?"
Hannah replied, "Yeah, he's said it many times."
Jarvis asked, "Did he say it in bed?"
Hannah replied, "Yes, is there a problem with that?"
Jarvis smacked Hannah on the forehead, "You dumb bunny, you actually believe what a man says in bed?"
Hannah knew she couldn't believe it all, but she was willing to lie to herself. It made her feel better, thinking their relationship might be about love. "Actually, there was one time he didn't say it in bed." Hannah said.
Jarvis asked, "When was that?"
Hannah replied, "There was one time he was having dinner with Marcus, Lucas, and Zavier. He was very happy that day and drank a bit too much. When we got back to the room, he told me he liked me."
Jarvis frowned, "What am I supposed to say to you?"
Hannah said, "If you don't know what to say, then don't. But I think you're a really good guy, honest and responsible."
Jarvis said, "You can say more of that in front of Cornelia, let her know how good I am, and there are still men like me worth loving in this world."
Hannah said, "Even if you're good, you can't win Nelly's heart."
Jarvis said, "I just saved you. Can't you say something that makes me feel good?"
Hannah said, "I can pretend to say these, but I don't want to lie to you about feelings. Love can be intoxicating wine, but it can also be the deadliest poison."
Jarvis suddenly reached out, pulled her into his arms, "Let's go." Hannah wasn't used to his touch and instinctively broke away.
Jarvis said, "When you needed me to save you, you treated me as your boyfriend. Now that the danger is over, you won't let me touch you."
Hannah said, "I know, you're not that kind of person."
Jarvis said, "Alright, I'm not the type to take advantage of the situation either. Let's go, get in my car, I'll drive you back to the set."
Hannah said, "Okay."
...
The shooting location of the crew was in the suburbs of Harbor City, and it required a highway ride from the city. Not long after getting on the highway, Hannah noticed a black car had been following them. "Jarvis, that black car behind seems fishy." Hannah said.
Jarvis had noticed someone was tailing them and had already sent his location to his people. The current road was crowded, and the situation wasn't good.
He stepped on the gas, speeding up, "That crazy woman actually dares to make a move in broad daylight."
His words gave Hannah goosebumps, "I'm sorry!"
Jarvis looked at her, looking wronged like a bullied little girl, "You didn't do anything wrong, why are you apologizing?"
Hannah said, "If you get hurt because of me, I'll feel guilty."
Jarvis said, "We're not in trouble yet, what are you feeling guilty for?"
Hannah asked, "Is there any way to stop Daniela?"
Jarvis said, "If she really dares to have someone tail my car, that means she's not taking me and the Alexander family seriously. I'm afraid the only one who can stop Daniela's crazy behavior now is Steven."
"I'll try to contact Steven." Hannah said. If she were alone in the car, Hannah might hesitate whether to find Steven or not.
But now there was Jarvis in the car, she didn't dare to hesitate. She didn't want anyone to get hurt because of her. Even though she knew the chances of contacting Steven were slim, Hannah still dialed Steven's number again.
