Chapter 77 - Self Control

Ever since Ethan caught Hannah in such state, Hannah has not been the same. She really do like Ethan but she wondered why her body have such reaction to kyle's touch. A total stranger, not someone she knew before or something.

Although Ethan didn't even show any reaction, she still felt ashamed of herself. The other CEO claimed he has something urgent to attend to, which is why they ended up ending their chat earlier than usual and caught them in the act.

She was scared after they closed the door, she looked at Kyle who headed out after buckling up his belt and smoothed his trousers like nothing happened. She didn't know how to face Ethan and ended up staying rooted behind the door, scared to open it.

Ethan after waiting for a while, knocked on the door, "meet me in the car when you're done." He said after knocking twice to get her attention and left.

To her awe, Ethan already had his eyes closed as usual. He's not sleeping but, it's kind of like a habit of his. It was like a blessing for Hannah this time, though it always hurt her feelings before, cause she always wanted him to look at her.

She expected him to say something since then but he didn't. It's like it didn't happen at all. She has met up with Kyle after then, as they ended up meeting on behalf of their boss for the collaboration. Kyle teased her whenever the chance arises.

The first time, she nearly fell into his trap before a waiter knocked at the door. She excused herself and left before the waiter could serve the orders.

The meeting is mandatory, so she took another girl along at the next meeting. The girl is one of the secretaries in the company, her name was Jane. She's pretty as well, but couldn't match Hannah's beauty.

Jane wondered why the proud Hannah, who loves to do everything alone suddenly allowed her to follow along on meetings she usually attended alone either Ethan was out of the country or not, but still maintained a professional expression, as she wouldn't want to get on the bad side of the proud Hannah, the president's wife to be, the mighty woman who could handle any issues like it's Ethan who handled it himself.

Despite her unlikeable personality, it still wouldn't change the fact that she's good at what she does.

Kyle who was already waiting patiently inside the meeting room they booked, saw the door opened, and was stunned to see 2 hot babes instead of one. He felt excited and immediately categoriezed Jane in the same standard he put Hannah.

He has tasted Hannah, and now he has another catch in front of him. They exchange pleasantries and move straight to business. They discuss their plans on behalf of their corporation.

Jane sat still, taking notes. She couldn't help but wonder why she's here for the second time, cause Hannah has everything under wraps. But there's one thing though; Kyle kept giving her seductive glances, smirking, constantly rubbing his thumb on his lower lips like it's a normal thing to do.

Hannah has noticed this as well, she has noticed that she's not the target today. Despite this, Kyle didn't make any mistakes in his reply to everything both he and Hannah were discussing.

The naive Hannah find him smart, but the exposed Jane already understood that he's a casanova.

What surprised Hannah was Jane's reaction to Kyle's seduction. Even though it wasn't meant for her, she still felt her adrenaline rushing each time he brushes his hand on his lips, she still felt her body heating up, but it's different in Jane's case.

Jane had an irritated expression on her face whenever her eyes caught Kyle's shameless attempt. Hannah has noticed it twice now and wondered why it's not affecting Jane like it's doing to her.

Kyle also caught Jane's reaction and stopped his nonsense. He knew if he kept on; Jane seem the type to report him, which is normal, but Hannah fell for it; which is why he's brave enough to go all out like that.

-At the present-

Hannah snapped back to her senses when she heard a knock at her office door. Clearing her throat and positioning herself well on her seat, "come in." she said.

Jane opened the door and stroll towards Hannah, her heel creating a 'ka! ka! ka!' sound on the marble floor, which nearly gave Hannah a mini heart attack.

Fear gripped her heart, she wondered if she's about to do the right thing. She has been fighting these thoughts since the day they returned from their meeting with Kyle.

She felt like she needed to tell someone about this, but has no friends, her parents are well off and she didn't have to work if she wished to, but her crush on Ethan made her became his assistant to pursue her feelings, but she ruined it all.

She will still meet Kyle in the future, so she wanted to talk about it with Jane, maybe she can enlighten her on how she manages to not feel anything when Kyle was doing all that. She had always avoided being touched and was scared that she might do the same if another guys make body contact like kyle did and tried to hit on her after.

She wanted advice and couldn't think of anyone else to confide in. "Please sit." She said to Jane who sneered in her head. Jane wondered when Hannah started being so polite, 'please sit? did she hit her head or something?' she asked in her head, but still maintain a sweet smile and sit down.

Seeing her smile, Hannah heaved a sigh of relief inside. After they both settled down in front of each other, Hannah cleared her throat, and kept studying Jane's expression.

Jane was cursing her inside but still maintained her usual expression. She's supposed to ask why she's called and being stared at right now, but Hannah usual treatment towards everyone couldn't make her summon such courage, so she just sat still.

Hannah finally spoke after assuring herself that all will turn out well. "I wanted to talk to you about something I'm struggling with. It's personal and I hope you wouldn't tell anyone about this. I just need your advice or probably your view on it." She said.

'Still being arrogant.' Jane thought inwardly. "What do you need my help with Ma." she asked politely, which ease Hannah's heart.

Most people will go like, 'A friend of friend blah blah.' But Hannah explained everything from beginning to end without any clue about how she's just exposed herself to someone she barely knew.

'This is epic!' Jane thought inwardly. She now understood the reason behind her sudden change in attitude and the reason she took her along to the meeting. Yet, Jane expression remained the same.

"I will be having a meeting with him again soon, I'm not sure if the boss will be going too. Please, how did you manage to not mind his seductions, is something wrong with me? I-i'm confused." Hannah explained, stuttering at the end.

"Can I speak freely?" Jane asked. All the fear and weariness she has towards Hannah has vanished before she even finished with her story, but she still knew it's normal to take excuse before speaking up.

"Sure, be my guest." Hannah replied.

"You lack self control." Jane said flatly.

"Self control?" Hannah asked. She wondered what self control has to do with her situation.

"Yes, that's your problem." Jane said again, looking up at her, it's like she's about to lecture her child. At that moment; she totally put aside the fact that Hannah could get her fired and begin. What more can she do to her when she just learned such epic news about her.
