Chapter 275 - Appreciating a beauty

Hearing what Nathan said, they were all shocked, because they expect him to ask them to burn down the house or something, but still couldn't question his command and replied that they understand.

Without wasting time, they stop following him and went to carry out the orders, while the car that Diana drove to Austin's residence was used to drive Nathan and the senior to the company they landed on its rooftop, before getting on board and left, while Nathan get the necessary kit and began tending to Aroma by himself.

They are not people that can just crash into a hospital for treatment, which is why they have their own medical experts.

They were all skilled in giving themselves emergency treatments, based on their line of work, so he helped her remove the bullet.

With the help of the senior, who couldn't help but wondered why his boss was so emotional, Aroma was giving the emergency treatment that could preserve her health for the journey and not worsened it.

The guys that were asked to take care of Austin's corpse and everything else,  which they didn't need him to instruct before they knew what's necessary. They were to return to the base after that, while the guy that Diana ditch and run away with the car, came to join them.

....

Meanwhile.

While driving to the nearest hospital, Chris couldn't help glancing at Ethan through the rearview mirror, as he stroked Diana's face lovingly, with his expression clearly out of this world.

He felt the urge to ask him if he's okay numerous time, but controlled himself. First of all, when did Ethan fell in love this much?

He recalled when he said he didn't like Diana yet, but plan to. It was clearly said,  to get him off Diana's back, but when did things get this serious?

What exactly led to all this? A lot of questions kept popping up, which Chris couldn't find a reasonable answer to, because even though Diana seem like a brave girl, the first time he saw her, he could still recalled how she blushed when he tease her about coming to try out his culinary skills.

She didn't seem like someone who could get into trouble of this rate, but how did things turn like it did. How did she become someone Ethan will urgently ask him to track? Someone his hacking skill become useless when he use it on her system and many other mysterious stuff he detect.

He remained silent all the way through, while his head was full of numerous thoughts. He actually came across Hanna at a club and wondered why Ethan assistant will come to such place at such time.

He was watching her from a distance and saw that she's not the usual proud girl she used to be. He has met her a few times and see the way she acted as if she's the boss, while Ethan was the assistant, which made him to never acknowledge her, but seeing her then, it was as if he just notice she's extremely beautiful.

She sat down quietly and didn't order anything. She was used to crossing her leg, but let them down. She just look lost and watch people go about their stuff with a curious eyes, as if trying to study the lifestyle of clubbing, but still had on a pained expression.

He kept looking at her and couldn't help but smile when she quickly start pressing her phone and ignore anyone that came to talk to her. Immediately they left her for ignoring them, she would pat her chest, as if she has been scared silly.

Everything amused him, and he ended up laughing so hard, making the guys that came with him ask why he's laughing and not taking his drink, but kept stirring the content repeatedly and not raising it to his lips.

He told them he's admiring a beauty, before realizing he actually refer to Hanna as that. The three dude and a slim tomboyish female among them, were the new hackers he had a match with to know who is best and admire their skills. Even though he won, he decided to take them out and have fun after the exhausting challenge.

They followed his line of sight and admitted that Hanna is indeed pretty, but told him she's probably one of the girls that came for pickups.

One of them offered to help him go and arrange some quick hookup with Hanna if he want her, but he refused and claimed she's actually someone she knew and not that type of girl.

Meanwhile, her beauty kept attracting male to come for her, couple with the fact that she's sitting alone.

A muscular dude with low cut went to her and again, immediately she saw that the person was coming for her, she buried her gaze on her phone.

She opened her browser and started surfing the net. The guy tried to get her attention and realized she's ignoring him intentionally.

He was slightly drunk and took it the wrong way. He reached his hand and touched her face, with a lecherous smile on his face,  which made Hanna scared silly, because she recall what happened the last time.

She heard clubbing could help control the rate of depression, which is why she came to learn how to cope in and start the habit, because she finally realize Ethan is gone and her previous lifestyle made people stay away from her.

She was asked to take days off, till Ethan return, while his father still take care of the company, which made her realize how much her life sucks without being busy with work.

She's not scared of the dude and could put him in his place with a lot of methods, but the event from last time didn't made her able to summon such courage, which made fear took over.

Chris watch her moved aside to evade another touch from the guy who sit beside her immediately she did.

He saw her mouthed some words to the guy, which he assumed to be her requesting for him to leave her alone.

The guy wear a pissed expression immediately. He felt enraged and ask her what she's doing at a club, if she wanted to be left alone.

Immediately Hanna tried to stand up, his hand went around her waist, and he pulled her back on the couch, while Hanna landed a hot slap on his face.
