At this very moment, a dark shadow rushed in front of her with a speed as fast as lightning.
By the time Hannah could see the person rushing over, Kendrick had already caught the bottle of perfume she deliberately wanted to smash.
Hannah’s face stiffened. As she looked at the handsome and cold man, she felt at a loss. “Mr. Waldburg, I didn’t mean it. Just now, Eveline…”
“Nia, I’ve already booked a restaurant. Let’s go to have some afternoon tea. You should relax after you have been busy for so long.”
Blatantly ignoring Hannah, he turned around and spoke softly to Niamh before handing the perfume bottle to Niamh intact.
Niamh smiled and nodded. “Okay, let’s go. I’ve just finished my work too. I’ve noted down all of the data and we can arrange for the factory to mass produce it tomorrow.”
After Kendrick heard that, he leaned down to plant a kiss on the space between Niamh’s eyebrows. “My wife is so amazing.”
He praised and held Niamh’s shoulder as they prepared to leave.
“Mr. Waldburg! ” Hannah quickly called out to Kendrick.
Kendrick stopped in his tracks. Before Hannah could say anything, Kendrick coldly said, “I’d advise you to leave as soon as possible. If a drop of water or a gram of spice went missing, you’ll take full responsibility.”
“..” Astonished, Hannah’s jaw dropped. When she saw Kendrick leaving with Niamh in his arms after warning her, she quickly went up ahead and blocked them.
Niamh and Kendrick stopped in their tracks at the same time.
Hannah’s eyes were full of grievances, and her beautiful face was unyielding.
“Mr. Waldburg, you have agreed that I’ll live in your house and that you’ll be responsible for me, but you still stay with Eveline every day. How are you going to help me settle down?”
Hannah asked very bluntly, but when she asked that question, it made her seem ignorant and simplistic.
However, how simplistic could a person, willing to be used by Carter to achieve her goals, be?
After hearing this, Kendrick evidently did not want to bother explaining to Hannah. His arms around Niamh’s shoulder tightened slightly as he lowered his gaze and whispered to Niamh.
“Nia, let’s not allow irrelevant people to affect our mood,” he said softly, his eyes were gentle and filled with love. “Let’s go.”
Niamh did not want to continue dealing with Hannah, so she smiled and nodded.
Kendrick lifted his handsome face that instantly turned cold. After that, he carefreely walked past Hannah with his arms around Niamh. It could be said that he was completely ignoring Hannah.
Refusing to back down, Hannah bit her lip and looked at Niamh who was being cherished in Kendrick’s embrace. Hannah’s eyes were nearly brimming with intense envy and hatred.
She stomped her feet angrily, unable to rein in her anger.
Hannah admitted that Niamh was much better than her in many aspects and that Niamh was more perfect than her, but Hannah was younger!
She was in her twenties and that was her prime. Moreover, her appearance was the most outstanding one in the crowd.
She was very attractive to men, so logically speaking, Kendrick, being a man, should not be able to escape from this established law, yet he was the exception.
“Hmph!”
Irritated, Hannah huffed. The more she thought about it, the madder she felt.
At the thought of Kendrick’s warning earlier and to avoid inviting more ridicule, she decided to leave Niamh’s laboratory first.
However, before she could take a few steps, Hannah thought of Niamh enjoying her afternoon tea with Kendrick sweetly, and then Hannah suddenly turned around again.
She thought of what Niamh said to Kendrick just now.
“I’ve just finished my work too. I’ve noted down all of the data and we can arrange for the factory to mass produce it tomorrow.”
Hannah remembered what Niamh said.
Hannah quickly walked back to the test bench and reached out to pick up the tablet that Niamh had placed on the table.
Just when the screen was going to go dark, she quickly reached out and clicked.
The screen of the tablet lit up again, followed by the interface of the company’s intranet that Niamh opened not long ago.
Hannah saw the data recorded on the webpage which was saved ten minutes ago.
Hannah smiled sinisterly as she lifted her hand and tampered with the data.
A moment later, she placed the tablet down and left happily.
Kendrick brought Niamh for a short break at the dessert shop near the office.
Of course, they talked about Hannah, but Niamh was very relaxed now.
“ If we don’t reach a compromise with her for the time being, god knows what she’ll do again.” Niamh lifted the cake on the table and took a small bite.
The slight bitterness of the chocolate was mixed with the slightly sweet cream.
She smiled gladly and felt that life was also this way.
There was sweetness and bitterness in life. Hannah, who suddenly appeared at this moment, might be the slight bitterness that was added into her interesting life.
Regardless, she believed that she would not be defeated by this bitterness.
Despite that, Kendrick still felt guilty in his heart.
He gently held Niamh’s hand; his deep and alluring eyes were guilt-ridden.
“ If I had remained vigilant at that time, then this horrible thing wouldn’t have happened, ” Kendrick said guiltily. “When Hannah caused a scene the other day, her actions caused ripples that affected the shares of Waldburg Corporation and Montgomery Enterprise.
“If she continues to make trouble, Nia, your projects and orders on hand will be terminated because of her.
“Right now, you have to suffer this grievance. It’s the only way.”
Listening to Kendrick slowly apologizing to her, Niamh smiled magnanimously.
“I was the one who came up with this, so I don’t feel wronged. We must prioritize this. Besides, I don’t think Hannah can impact our relationship in any way. On the contrary, I don’t think she deserves any sympathy.”
Niamh’s eyes revealed a rare icy but beautiful glint.
“ She had feelings about you from the beginning. And she’s not a good person, through and through. She can’t say anything about us fooling her like this now.”
Having said that, Niamh sighed a little apologetically.
“On the other hand, Mom misunderstands us. She ran to the house of the maternal side of my family in a fit of rage.”
Kendrick smiled when he heard that. “It’s been so long, yet she still doesn’t understand our characters. We finally made it to this day, so why would we break up our relationship to fulfill the wishes of a vicious person?”
“She’ll understand sooner or later.” Just as Niamh finished speaking, a notification sound came from her phone.
She glanced down, and her eyes narrowed. “How interesting.”
“What’s wrong?” Kendrick asked, concerned.
Niamh smiled and handed her phone to him. “ Look.”
Kendrick also lowered his head. When he saw the image on the screen, he displayed an opposite expression with Niamh.
He frowned, evidently displeased.
Niamh noticed Kendrick’s displeasure and she smiled, unconcerned. “Let’s play along.”
Even though Kendrick was unhappy, he would still support Niamh as usual.
No matter what she decided, he would choose to side with her, no questions asked.
An hour later, Niamh and Kendrick returned to the office together.
When they stepped out of the elevator, Niamh spotted Hannah sitting on the sofa by the reception.
When Hannah saw Niamh coming back with Kendrick, she smiled and walked over to greet them unusually.
“Mr. Waldburg, are you done with your afternoon tea with her?” Hannah asked with a bright smile.
Kendrick peered at her indifferently. “Why are you still here?”
Hannah smiled shyly. “I’ve been waiting for you to come back.”
“Waiting for me?” Kendrick’s cold gaze landed on her expectant face. “What else do you want?”
“Nothing. I just think it’s very boring staying in the villa. Since I’m here, I want to use this opportunity to learn something.”
Hannah expressed her thoughts and then she peered at Niamh.
“I found out that the perfume you made is very special and that your laboratory is very beautiful, so I decided to learn perfume making with you.”
