"I saw on the news that you're getting married." Said Hannah in a flat voice.
Charles showed a mocking grin. "What? Jealous? I married a better woman than you after all."
A disdainful smile crossed Hannah's face.
She ignored his mockery and continued, "Aren't you gonna invite me? Why haven't I received your invitation yet?"
"What game are you playing this time?" Such a backstabber as Charles had become very wary of Hannah and would not easily believe what she said after competing head-to-head with her and suffering so many times.
"I haven't seen her in person yet."
Charles smirked. "Want to compare yourself to her?"
"Nope, just out of curiosity."
"Curiosity?" Charles drawled, for he did not believe a word of it, "Sarah is way better than you!"
That remark reminded Hannah of what he had said the last time she died: "Sarah is much better and sexier in bed."
She sneered at the thought.
"Charles, I want to meet you tonight." Said Hannah on the phone.
"Why do you think I'll see you?" he rejected bluntly. There was no way he would see her alone at this critical moment.
It was ridiculous. Did she think he was that gullible?
Charles laughed at Hannah inside.
"Fine, I'll get to the point. I want to see Oscar."
"Huh, that's what you're after." Charles seemed to have anticipated there was something behind her beating around the bush.
"Are you begging me to take you to Oscar?"
"Yes, I'm begging you."
"Nice try! But it won't happen!" Charles didn't care about her and continued, "Even if you kneel to me, I won't help you. Hannah, you'll witness how he was destroyed and suffered!"
Gnashing her teeth, Hannah was eventually irritated by his bad words.
"Don't you ever call me again! I won't answer!" Charles got carried away and said, "I may as well tell you straight that I've never been into you in the first place, and all my deep affection for you was a mere sham. The one I loved is always Sarah. Hannah, don't take yourself seriously!"
"Oh, is that it?" Hannah acted as if she didn't care and said, "In that case, may you two always be in love."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Charles felt somewhat uncomfortable.
He had meant to ridicule Hannah, however, her lack of reaction pissed him off. Holding his phone in hand, he couldn't get her out of his head.
He said he'd never liked her. With his heart throbbing at that instant for some reason, his face darkened.
