My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 173 Embarrassed Hannah

Hannah had been depressed recently. Everything she feared had happened. Also, Kevin demanded she go to HA Group to discuss cooperation. No one else was welcome. Under the repeated requests of Cadman, Hannah had to go. When she arrived at the entrance of HA Group's office building, Hannah tidied her hair and straightened her clothes. Although Kevin's reputation was not good, he was once the boy she admired. Hannah didn't want to look bad in front of him.

All set, Hannah walked in.

"Are you Miss Adams?" When the receptionist saw Hannah, she hurriedly ran over to welcome her. Hannah felt awkward. She was not used to the enthusiasm. "Yes," Hannah responded.

"Our president is waiting for you. Please follow me." The receptionist walked to the president's exclusive elevator, and brought Hannah to Kevin's office.

Although Kevin looked like a playboy, he was actually a wise and conservative man. But he wanted to scare away the women who were coveting him every day.

Seeing Hannah, Kevin felt that the air was getting fresher, and the tiredness from dealing with the documents had dissipated.

"Mr. Smith, Miss Adams is here." The receptionist brought Hannah into the president's office and left perceptively.

"Miss Adams, you're very punctual. Please take a seat. I'll be done soon with this," Kevin said.

"Take your time, Mr. Smith. There is no rush." Hannah sat on the sofa and waited for Kevin.

She looked around at Kevin's office. He was said to be a playboy, but his office was decorated in a solemn style. Everything in the large office was properly placed. Apart from black and white, there were no other colors.

Seeing this, she felt he was a professional CEO. Watching Kevin work earnestly, she thought he was really handsome. But he couldn't make a commitment, and Hannah did not like that.

"Alright, I've finished it. Let's talk about the cooperation plan with HD Group. I'm sorry, I forgot to get you some water." Seeing that there was no water in front of Hannah, Kevin personally went to get her a glass of water.

Hannah wanted to decline, but Kevin was fast and had come back with a glass of water.

"Miss Adams, please drink some water. I'm sorry for not being considerate. I'd like to invite you to lunch as compensation. Do I have the honor, Miss Adams?" Kevin sounded sincere. The fact was that the receptionist went to the lobby to welcome Hannah and bring her to Keven's office under his instructions, but he had specifically told her not to get water for Hannah. "That's not necessary. Besides, I'm not thirsty." Hannah didn't want to go to lunch alone with Kevin. If the reporters saw it, she didn't know what they would write about her. "Miss Adams, are you looking down on me?" Kevin squinted at Hannah. He saw how awkward she was. But he just wanted to get along with her. He didn't have any other bad intentions. "No." Hannah didn't dare to say that she didn't like him since he was a playboy. If she failed in this mission, Cadman would kneel before her, which was too much for her. Hannah hurriedly took the glass of water and gulped it down. In the end, she drank it too fast and choked.

Overwhelmed by the embarrassment, Hannah wanted to cry. She wasn't ladylike at all at this moment. How could she make a fool of herself in front of the man she cared about? Hannah coughed violently. Kevin was anxious. He gently patted her back with his hand to make her feel better.

She finally stopped coughing, but her face was red and tearful. She didn't raise her head since she didn't want him to see her like this. Kevin handed her a tissue, and she wiped her face. "Are you feeling better?" he asked worriedly when seeing that her head was lowered down.

"Yes. Do you have a mirror?" Hannah was concerned about her appearance. Although she kept telling herself Kevin was a playboy, she still cared a little about him.

"Yes, I'll go get it for you." Smart as Kevin was, he certainly knew what she meant. He brought the mirror to Hannah and went to the bathroom.

Hannah hurriedly looked in the mirror. Fortunately, her expression had returned to normal. There were no tears or snot coming out. She quickly collected herself. It was really embarrassing just now. Seeing that she was ready, Kevin came out. There was still a slight flush on Hannah's cheeks. She looked even more adorable. Kevin wanted to kiss her, but he didn't dare, afraid that he would frighten her. "Since you are fine, let's talk about the cooperation and have lunch together afterwards." Kevin hadn't forgotten about the lunch.

"Alright." Hannah only meant to answer the first half of his sentence. She didn't expect Kevin to add something in the end.

It was too late for Hannah to take it back. 'Forget it. It's just a meal. I need to eat anyway.'

Kevin talked about business logically and methodically. Hannah thought his ideas made sense. Fortunately, she had also done a lot of preparatory work. The two of them talked in a tacit understanding for an entire morning and had a very pleasant conversation.

By noon, Hannah's stomach grumbled. Kevin immediately heard it and Hannah blushed again.

She didn't have time to eat breakfast in the morning. At this time, she was starving. Just now, her attention had been all on work, and she temporarily forgot she had come with an empty stomach.

"I'm sorry, I didn't realize it's already noon. Let's go and have lunch. I'm hungry, too. We can continue talking about it after lunch. What do you think?" Kevin closed the file in his hand.

"Alright then." Hannah knew that Kevin stopped the discussion because he had heard the grumble of her stomach. She agreed to his suggestion since she couldn't focus without eating anyway. Noticing how embarrassed she was, Kevin was in a good mood. She always seemed so bold. But in fact, she could be shy sometimes after all.

Hannah was shy only before someone she cared about. Kevin had discovered it, but Hannah did not realize it.

Kevin happily brought Hannah to the company's canteen. He had a private room there.

"Order whatever you like." Kevin handed the menu to Hannah. She took a look and felt that it would be better if Kevin ordered for her.

"Mr. Smith, please order what you like. I'm not picky about food." Hannah did not know what Kevin liked to eat.

"Alright then, I'll do it." Kevin took the menu and quickly ordered some dishes before handing it to the waiter.00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
