Chapter 465

But thinking about her plan, Hannah couldn’t help but smile.

“Really? I had no idea you were such a good person. You’re much more handsome than your photos, too p>

James was taken aback. He had assumed a woman as cool and aloof as Hannah wouldn’t give him the time of day. But not only was she talking to him, she was complimenting him. It seemed he was truly irresistible.

“Hahaha, you flatter me, Ms. Green. I actually came down specifically to escort you upstairs. But since you were late, how about you treat me to lunch as a penalty? What do you say p>

James finished with a suggestive eyebrow raise, as if being invited to lunch by him was a great honor for Hannah.

Hannah and Samuel almost gagged at his audacity.

If she weren’t planning to get back at him for Tess, she would have slapped him across the face right then and there.

What a shameless man. Claiming he came down specially to meet her? Did she need his escort?

Besides, from the way he was acting, it was obvious he hadn’t been waiting for her. He was just arriving for work and happened to run into her. The way he tried to make it about himself was just disgusting.

“Alright,” she said, forcing down her revulsion.

The three of them took the elevator up to the conference room to discuss the details of the project.

It wasn’t until they were in the meeting that Hannah understood why someone who had just transferred to the company was put in charge of this task.

It turned out he was the son of one of the senior executives.

Samuel had also done some digging and found out more about him.

He was immediately handed the partnership project with the Lancaster family, If he managed to secure the deal, not only would his position in the company be solidified, but he would be onthe fast track for promotion.

The project wasn’t critically important for the Lancaster family; it was more about establishing connections and expanding their network in the region.

Hannah lowered her eyes, considering her next move.

She couldn’t let her personal feelings jeopardize a business deal. But even without fruining the deal it wase certainly possible to get the person in charge kicked off the project.

Meanwhile, in the underground prison.

Quennel’s men had completed their investigation and confirmed that the video Sandra had provided was the only copy. She had no other backups.

“It seems you were being honest after all. You didn’t lie to us p>

When the masked man entered, Sandra cried out excitedly.

“I’ve told you everything! Can you please let me go? I promise I won’t say a word when I get out. I’ve already decided to go to Mixa, to leave this country for good p>

As Sandra spoke, she dropped to her knees.

“Please, I’m begging you, let me go. I’ve given you what you wanted. There’s no point in keeping me here p>

However, the masked man remained completely unmoved by her words and her kneeling.

“Sandra, do you have any other useful information on Lionel p>
