Chapter 30 No one should expose another
Bryant Shahbaz looks at Hannah Joseph a little more deeply.
Although he doesn't have many opportunities to communicate with her daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law in his mind is clearly a timid person. However, no matter judging from her "coincidence" with Mrs. Susan or from her initiative to go out to work now, the description of the timidity has nothing to do with her.
"Design department?" Bryant Shahbaz directly grasps the strange point in her words, "why is it the design department?"
Hannah Joseph's heart is thumping and her face is taut. She forgets to prepare how to answer this question.
"Dad, if she wants to go to the design department, let her go."
Rainy Shahbaz suddenly runs out and interrupts, saying, "You didn't want to buy me a car I liked last time. What's the point of buying it for her? Does she have a driver's license? Does she dare to drive? Will she live the house you buy for her?"
Bryant Shahbaz always dotes on her daughter. He gets fainted when he is asked so many questions by his daughter.
Lily Pons adds, "Since Hannah wants to go to work in the company, let her go. Don't you ask her to get on well with Mrs. Susan? If Mrs. Susan knows that she works in the company, it would be much easier." In fact, she says it in a casual way, but it hits upon Bryant Shahbaz's idea. His eyes brighten, "yes, that's the truth."
Thinking of it, he promises her, "Then you can go to the company if you want, but the work as an assistant of the design department is very hard. If you can't bear it, you can still come back." Hannah Joseph looks happy, "Thank you, dad.
At that time, Mr. Shahbaz comes back. Then dinner is prepared in the kitchen and the whole family sits at table in the dinner room.
Because of the expectation of business, Bryant Shahbaz is submissive to his father today which is rare. No matter how his father scolds him for doing business, he always responds to him submissively. The atmosphere during dinner is harmonious.
In the big bed of the bedroom, Hannah Joseph and Chester Shahbaz lie side by side, each holding their own quilts, but they are both sleepless and thoughtful.
For a long time, when Hannah Joseph turns over again, Chester Shahbaz asks, "What do you want to do?"
Hannah Joseph is slightly stunned. "Do you mind if I turn over?
Chester Shahbaz gives her a lukewarm look, "What I'm talking about is that you told dad about going to work in the company before dinner."
Hearing it, Hannah Joseph looks in deep eyes, "Didn't I say that I am bored at home and I have to find something to do?"
"You almost cheated dad."
Hannah Joseph turns around and contact Chester Shahbaz's deep eyes. Her heart tightens.
As a thoughtful person, he can see through all lies. She simply looks at his eyes and says in a deep voice, "I won't offend those who don't offend me. All I have to do is to take back what should have belonged to me. I can guarantee that it won't harm the interests of the Shahbaz family, so you don't need to waste your energy on the matter."
"Take back what should be your own?"
Chester Shahbaz gets the point, "is it related to the Green family?"
The look of Hannah Joseph is a little tight.
She didn't expect Chester Shahbaz to be so thoughtful. She doesn't have any big moves, but he has already connected her with the Green family.
"What's your relationship with the Green family?"
"You think too much. What is the Green family?" Hannah Joseph averts his eyes and denies. "I have nothing to do with the Green family."
"Hannah Joseph."
Chester Shahbaz calls her name, but it is like talking to another person. "Since you came back, you have been acting in front of everyone. What are you doing?"
No one can easily believe that there is rebirth in the world, so however careful he is, he can't think of the truth of a face with two characters.
Hannah Joseph calms down, "Life is like a play. Everyone is acting. Aren't you?"
Chester Shahbaz is calm, but a hand under the quilt is suddenly clenched against his thigh. This is his habitual action of warning mental state. What he held in the army was a pistol he had carried all the year round.
"Since we don't influence each other, one should not expose another."
Hannah Joseph's look vanishes and he yawns as if nothing has happened. She gets into the quilt and says in a muffled voice, "it's late. Go to sleep."
Chester Shahbaz leans over the pillow and sees the back of her head. His always calm eyes show a look of inquiry.
He begins to find the woman interesting.
How much does she know? This is unknown for the time being. But even if she knows a little, what is the reason for her stupid and cowardly look? Is it just to protect herself?
As Hannah Joseph expected, Mrs. Susan asks her out for afternoon tea two days after the auction.
After looking at several conceptual pictures of jewelry designed by Hannah Joseph, Mrs. Susan's face is full of surprises, "You've said that you are not a professional of jewelry design. I don't believe it. If you only do it in your spare time, you are almost a genius in the field of jewelry design. Many people have no talent in the field."
Hannah Joseph looks modest. "I only draw for fun, but I never really do it. In fact, I have a special favorite jewelry designer in London. Her jewelry design really integrates classic and cutting edge." "Who is she? I know almost all the famous designers in London."
"She...passed away. She died in an accident not long ago."
Hannah Joseph looks a little dim.
Mrs. Susan's smile is condensed in the corner of her mouth, "You mean... Sherry Green."
"You've seen the news, too." Hannah Joseph sighs softly, "she is still very young and in her early twenties. It's a pity that she has such a good design talent."
"It's more than a pity."
There is some sadness in the eyes of Mrs. Susan, "She's the most intelligent girl I've ever seen in jewelry design. She gets some weird ideas one after another..." said Mrs. Susan.
Hannah Joseph, in a state of melancholy, pretends to be surprised, "you know her."
"She's a good friend of mine although we have a big age gap. I'm afraid that I can't find a second one who is as congenial as her to me.
When it comes to Sherry Green, the sadness in Mrs. Susan's eyes is real.
Hannah Joseph secretly pinches her palm, controls tears in her eyes and forces herself to swallow all the tears. She asks softly, "I read the news before, saying that she was about to be engaged and all the invitations for engagement had been sent out. Without the accident, she would be very happy now."
"Happy?" Mrs. Susan suddenly controls her emotion and looks gloomy, "I don't think so. Who she liked is Leo Bruce, the current president of the Green group.
He got married soon after the accident of Sherry Green. He dared to show off his image of infatuation in the news and said that he looked for her wife with a lot of money."
With her eyebrows wrinkled, Hannah Joseph says meaningfully, "That's strange."☐☐☐☐☐
