Hannah had just finished breakfast and was watching the news on the sofa when she saw Samuel, dressed to the nines and looking like he was in a hurry to get out, and she teased him.


    "Hannah, I''m not going on a date, but I''m about to do something even more


    important than meeting a girlfriend. When I''m done, I''lle back and tell you all about it."


    Samuel said with a raised eyebrow, "You just rest at home today. Wait for me toe back and share something interesting with you. It will absolutely blow your mind."


    "What could be so good that you can''t take me with you?" Hannah asked curiously.


    "This is one thing I really can''t take you to. It''s too interesting, and if you get involved, it won''t be interesting anymore, you know what I mean?"


    Since things had already reached this point, if he actually brought Hannah along, the situation would definitely take a different turn.


    So, he felt he couldn''t take her with him, but he could definitely share the story with her after he got back.


    After all, Hannah was always happy to share interesting things with him, so he should do the same for her.


    Samuel got in his car and headed towards the address from the text message.


    He was excited the whole way. There had been so many bizarre things happeningtely that he felt life would be dull and boring without some new absurdity.


    In less than half an hour, he arrived at a coffee shop.


    Pushing the door open, he could see the man sitting in the loft on the second floor, who also spotted him at the same time.


    "You can skip the small talk. Let''s cut to the chase. Tell me why you asked me here. What do you want to find out about Hannah? Just say it."


    Samuel sat down, ready to order while he spoke, afraid he''d miss out on the juicy details if he wasted any time.


    Lionel looked at his excited expression and felt like he might have made a mistake. But things had alreadye this far; there was alreadye tow.


    no point in backing out now.


    He took a deep breath, wrestled with his thoughts for a moment, and finally asked.


    "You didn''t tell your sister I messaged you this morning, did you?"


    Lionel asked, needing reassurance. "I made it clear that if you told her, I wouldn''t talk to you."


    "Rx, I didn''t tell Hannah. And stop with all this nonsense. Hurry up and talk. I want to go see a movie; I don''t have time to waste with you."


    In reality, he had no ns to see a movie; it was just an excuse.


    He was just worried the man in front of him would beat around the bush and, after all the talk, never get to the main point while tricking himonto saying something unnecessary.


    After all, this man was cunning and deceitful.


    "I didn''t ask you here for any other reason. Iust wanted to ask howe Hannan is doing is doing with the temple


    family, and whether she''s had any


    contact with those businesses


    during this time."


    Samuel had just finished ordering his coffee. Hearing this, he put down his phone,


    He sized Lionel up subtly before speaking.
