Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1434

Hannah nodded in agreement. Ever since her return, Natasha had offered to help her move and, hence, had never gotten around to meet their senior editor. That certainly would not do, for it would leave a bad impression.

After some consideration, Hannah said, “Oh, that’s a good idea. We can clean up your desk while we’re at it, so that it’s ready for you tomorrow.”

She rose from her seat, and then addressed both Natasha and Xavier, “Alright, we’re leaving.”

Hannah led them to the shop entrance. Xavier, who was walking behind the two women, checked his wristwatch for the time. He frowned. Apparently, it was getting late. If he insisted on following Hannah, she would not be pleased. He supposed it would be better for him to excuse himself than to make her resent him.

At the entrance of the shop, Xavier had the sense to stop there and bade farewell to Hannah. “Ms. Young, I enjoyed our dinner together. I do look forward to the next occasion,” he said.

After they parted ways, Xavier got into his car and barked instructions at his assistant. “Get to Hannah’s neighborhood now. I want you to purchase the house right opposite hers. No, scratch that. I’ll do it myself.”

The assistant almost fell out of the driver’s seat when he heard that. Excuse me? What are you playing at this time, Mr. Jackson?
