“Landon.” Hansen’s voice came to a halt when Landon ended the call and casually switched off the phone.
His lips brushed over my slightly swollen ones. “Baby, wake up…
I had thought about what it would be like to see Hansen again.
He came from a wealthy and privileged family, so he was filled with arrogance.
We had parted on peaceful terms. If I did meet him, he would either ignore me or nod and exchange pleasantries.
In the end, my parents were in Gold City.
Hansen and I shared a lot of mutual friends as well.
It was impossible for our lives never to intersect again.
But never had I imagined that the once untouchable heir who was admired by everyone would look so disheveled and lost.
Meanwhile, I was in an exceptionally good mood thanks to being well–rested. I had a newly bought cashmere dress on and my makeup was great.
I looked great.
I was holding onto Landon’s ann, laughing as we stepped out of a revolving door.
After that, I saw Hansen getting out of his car
I froze for a moment as I faltered in my steps.
Landon softly held my hand in his.
Hansen’s shirt was slightly wrinkled, and he did not have a tie on
He had a look of fatigue on his face, and he was frowning with reddened eyes,
People bustled past us, and a fountain nearby was playing a cheerful tune.
The whole scene felt like it was a slow–motion shot from a movie.
Except this time, I wasn’t in the audience, but one of the unsuspecting protagonists.
It was possible that Hansen’s surprising look at that moment was what made Landon pull me behind him.
But Hansen remained incredibly calm.
