He'd repeatedly used Hannah's grandparents , Sebastian Cole and Isla Montgomery , to threaten her , trying to extort money from her Anathea clearly remembered that Hannah had resolved this issue five years ago . She hadn't expected the greedy Leon to cause more trouble Besides , this incident had even made it onto the trending news . It was obvious that the situation had escalated significantly . She couldn't help but wonder how Hannah planned to handle it . Anathea was deeply worried about Hannah's situation . When she didn't hear a response , she called out again in concern , Hannah ? " Just then , a strange sound suddenly came from the other end of the line . Anathea froze for a moment . " Uh … don't worry , I'm fine . " Hannah's voice was broken and unsteady . " What are you doing ? Working out ? " Anathea asked in confusion when she heard Hannah breathing so heavily . However , the moment she faintly heard a low male voice in the background , she was startled , and her face began to turn red . She wasn't inexperienced . So , of course , she knew exactly what Hannah was doing " Yes , I'm working out right now . I'll call you back later , " Hannah replied before hanging up . Anathea remained in the same position , holding her phone to her gar , feeling awkward . It seemed that asking Hannah for financial help wasn't the best option after all . She would have to find another way on her own . Over on Hannah's end , the hotel suite was in disarray , with clothes scattered across the floor . Hannah struggled to hold her phone as a man behind her steadied himself with one arm and took the phone from her hand with the other . His voice carried a teasing edge . " You still have the mind to take calls at a time like this ? " " It was my dear Thea . Of course , I had to pick up " Hannah glared at him before urging impatiently , " Are you done yet ?

Ms. Cole , do you really think the world works that way ? " Hannah was momentarily at a loss for words . She simply bit her lip and remained silent . Dominic tilted her chin up , intending to kiss her , but she stubborn y turned away . Her red lips curled into a cold smirk , " Mr. Lancaster , kissing comes at an extra cost . " Dominic's gaze turned intense and predatory , like a humter ready to consume his prey completely . Anathea returned to the studio and saw everyone cheering with joy now that the issue had been resolved . A relieved smile gradually appeared on her face as well . At the very least , the crisis was finally over . This is great ! No more working overtime to make bouquets ! " " Yeah ! Tomorrow is Valentine's Day . As soon as work is over , I can go on my date . " " Ugh , ger out of here with that lovey - dovey nonsensel " Evangelin said in mock disdain . She walked up to Anathea and studied her slightly weary expression before asking , " You don't look too great . Do you want the to give you the day off tomorrow to rest ? "
