Semua Bab Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair: Bab 11 - Bab 17

"I'm going to be Mr. Goldman's secretary, are you kidding me?"Hannah's voice sounded freaked out as she talked to Alden on the phone."What about Susan? You may not realize it, Mr. Alden... but Susan may hate me. Because it seems like I'm taking her position," Hannah continued at length.There was only a small chuckle on the other end, as if Alden was laughing at Hannah's panic."I'm serious, Mr. Alden," Hannah pressed.Alden's soothing voice only replied with a short statement, "I know.""Maybe I'm just a toy or whatever, but don't make me suffer and feel uncomfortable any more. Can't I just stay at home? I'd rather serve you than face a hellish office situation."This time Alden's laughter was uncontrollable. "You're so funny when you're scared, aren't you?"Hannah couldn't find the words, she just took a long breath and tried to calm down."Do you like your new office?" Alden diverted the conversation."If thi

Hannah stared at Jeffrey in disbelief. Before, Jeffrey had always been sweet, his words soft, his behavior never bad.But the man Hannah faced now seemed like a stranger. It only made Hannah more disappointed and dejected.Tears almost fell, threatening to wet Hannah's cheeks, and she desperately held them back."Can't you answer me, Hannah? Everyone wants to know what you can do for this company," Jeffrey pressed."I-I..." Hannah stuttered."We're starting the meeting! If you want to make a scene, please leave," Susan interjected, half driving Jeffrey away.Jeffrey would surely stop and sit down again, as Hannah suspected. But the faces of the people there began to show disgust as they looked at Hannah."Please, Hannah. Sit down," Susan pleaded.Finally, Hannah could only sit, too afraid to do anything. Because what Jeffrey said was true, Hannah didn't have the ability to understand her job description at Texco. Hannah had alr

Hannah sighed in exasperation as she stood outside the Harrison's porch, unable to persuade the driver to drop her off on the street. Reluctantly, Hannah decided to face Alden, no matter what. She quickly opened the door and entered the house.Apparently, Alden was on the back patio, eating breakfast, though it remained untouched.Hannah approached Alden cautiously, keeping her distance. She cleared her throat quietly, but Alden didn't respond. This time Hannah cleared her throat louder, causing Alden to turn his head."What now?" Hannah asked."You broke the agreement," Alden explained."What agreement?""To have breakfast with me." Alden motioned to the chair across from him. "Sit down."Annoyed, Hannah sat down facing the plate of fruit slices and salad dressing."Aren't you eating?" Alden asked.It was the first thing Alden had said after they had breakfast together and actually talked. Hannah was suspicious. What di

Hannah entered the house and felt like crying when she saw the leftover pancakes on the dining room table. With a heavy heart, she cleared away the breakfast dishes and washed them. Even John hadn't finished the pancakes that were still on the table.After tidying up the dining room and kitchen, Hannah went to John's bedroom. She opened the half-closed curtains and let all the sunlight in.John's bed was still unmade and Hannah wondered what Francesca had been doing. She seemed reluctant to tidy the room at all. Hannah opened the bedside drawer and was startled to see that the bottles of medicine were still intact.These were the medications John was supposed to take when he got home from the hospital, but they had just been left in the drawer. Hannah couldn't understand why John hadn't taken his medicine."Oh, God," Hannah murmured quietly.She felt like exploding with anger, but she tried to control herself. Hannah quickly grabbed John's picture
