“I’ve worked with you before.


    I know the kind of person you are.


    ”


    Hannah stopped joking and shared the whole story about Grace.


    “I thought about letting it slide.


    But then I learned that apart from the fact that she bullied Grace, she even had Grace help with the giarism.


    After that, I couldn’t just let it go.


    ”


    Ferdinand finally understood the situation.


    After a pause, he said, “Now it makes sense.


    I recognized her.


    She’s Mr.


    Mitchell’s sister, right? I saw her in your office once.


    Please apologize to her for me.


    I was a bit harsh this afternoon.


    ”


    Hannah raised an eyebrow.


    “Just a bit harsh?”


    Ferdinand stayed quiet, his expression cold.


    He realized he might have been too harsh.


    Ferdinand was top-notch in many ways, great at studies and research.


    But he wasn’t the most emotionally perceptive.


    He could be blunt, sometimes too much.


    “I’ll talk to Grace.


    Don’t worry about it,” Hannah said.


    After a brief pause, Ferdinand inquired, “I’ve heard you’re heading to Newfort, aren’t you?”


    “Yeah, I’ve got some personal stuff to sort out there.


    ”


    “Are you nning toe back?”


    The question caught Hannah off guard, yet she nodded.


    “Definitely, I’ll be back.

    Ferdinand’s face lit up with relief.


    “That’s great… Is Mr.


    Mitchell going with you?”


    Hannah quickly shook her head.


    “No, he’s noting with me.


    ” It seemed like a reflex response from her.


    Out of the blue, Ferdinand said, “Let me know when you’re back, Hannah.


    I’ll take you out for dinner.


    ”


    “Sure.


    ”


    Reaching the apartmentplex’s entrance, Hannah waved to Ferdinand.
