BXBX NOVEL Chapter 61 First Impression
'She knows me… she knows Tristan. And s-she… she is currently inside Tristan's room. Are they...?'
Hannah couldn't continue what's on her mind. Just thinking about it made her cringe. Her imagination was running wild especially when he remembered Tristan's famous reputation with women.
'So this was the other plan Tristan was talking about when he refused to join us for dinner. It turned out he was busy entertaining this woman.' Disbelief was still written over her face.
She heard that Tristan was involved with so many girls, changing his partners like he was just changing his clothes.
At first, she didn't want to believe it but later on, she got used to hearing news about Tristan's different women. Hannah was also aware of Tristan's conflict with his cousins, Mark, and Daniel. Andrew informed her about it- Tristan sleeping with the girlfriends of his cousins.
However, thinking about it, Tristan didn't have serious relationships with those women as if he was doing it just for fun and pastime. He just considered them as flings, not love interests.
For an unknown reason, that thought somehow consoled Hannah. Now, she was thinking that the lovely woman in front of him held no importance with Tristan, just like his other women.
'Yeah, she might be just one of his flings. He brought her with him to warm his bed or maybe this woman knew that Tristan was coming to Oceaniz City that's why she followed him. Lots of women are chasing after Tristan.' Hannah mumbled inwardly, convincing herself.
With that thinking, Hannah was able to gain her composure back as she smiled sweetly at Zhen-Zhen.
"Hello, I'm glad you know me. By the way, what's your name? I'm sorry I didn't know. Because Tristan never mentioned you to me."
Hannah emphasized her last sentence as if she was telling her that Zhen-Zhen was just an insignificant person that Tristan never talked about her to others especially to his close friends like her.
But Zhen-Zhen was very innocent and clueless that she was not bothered by Hannah's words.
"It's okay. I am Lillie Meyer. Nice to meet you, Hannah."
Zhen-Zhen extended her right hand to Hannah, offering her a handshake. She followed what she learned from Tristan when introducing herself to others.
Fortunately, Tristan already corrected her misconceptions after that encounter with Matthew wherein Zhen-Zhen almost kissed him on his lips after their introduction.
A genuine smile played across her face. She was really glad to finally met Tristan's childhood best friend.
On the other hand, Hannah felt the opposite. She accepted her hand while flashing her awkward smile. She felt a little bit uncomfortable facing Zhen-Zhen.
She didn't know how she would act in front of her. She didn't expect to bump into one of Tristan's flings. That's what she was thinking as of this moment.
Now, she had the urge to scold Tristan. 'Grandpa Lu assigned this work to Andrew and Tristan. How dare he brought one of his flings with him? No wonder, Grandpa Lu is not in a good mood in the past few days. It seemed that Tristan was giving him a headache.'
"Are you here to see Tristan?" Zhen-Zhen asked her after shaking their hands.
Hannah nodded her head and said, "Yes."
"Please come inside first. Tristan is still in the bathroom, taking a shower." She said, inviting Hannah inside their hotel room.
After hearing that, Hannah's eyes widened in shock. Her wild imagination started to work once again. Then her gaze moved to Zhen-Zhen's body, eyeing her from top to bottom.
'Did they just do it… sleeping together before I came here?' Hannah pondered to herself.
Then the image of Tristan and Zhen-Zhen kissing and touching each other popped up on her mind. Hannah bit her lower lip. She couldn't explain what she was feeling right now.
Hannah shook her head immediately, trying to get that image out of her mind. She didn't like it.
"Hannah?" Zhen-Zhen called her out when she noticed that Hannah didn't move in her current spot.
Her voice snapped Hannah out of her wild imagination. Then she looked at Zhen-Zhen with her flushed cheeks.
"Uh, O-Okay, I'm coming," Hannah said while following Zhen-Zhen from behind.
Soon, the two ladies reached the living room area. Zhen-Zhen invited her to sit down on the couch. Fortunately, FaMo was in the bedroom at that time, or else, Hannah would freak out once she saw him.
Hannah roamed her eyes around the room. Tristan's suite was as spacious as their room. The interior design, decoration, and structure inside had similarities.
The only difference was the theme. Hannah's and Andrew's suite had the theme of the blue sky while Zhen-Zhen and Tristan's theme suite was the blue ocean. Well, that was very obvious because of the name of the buildings: Blue Ocean and Blue Sky.
Hannah's mind was still bothered by the thought about Zhen-Zhen and Tristan staying together in one room.
So she turned to Zhen-Zhen and simply asked her, "Are you staying here? Or did you book another room here?"
"Tristan only booked one room so I will be staying here with him. Besides, I don't want to get separated from him." Zhen-Zhen replied to her honestly. She was still wearing her charming smile.
Hannah: "..."
She was rendered speechless by Zhen-Zhen's honesty. But Hannah misinterpreted it as bluntness and boldness. She was thinking that Zhen-Zhen was too bold and clingy for a woman that she didn't want to get separated from Tristan. This was her first impression of Zhen-Zhen.
Hannah frowned, 'How can she say that very open. Is she not embarrassed at all? She's still a woman. Is she too desperate to be with Tristan?'
Hannah cleared her throat. She wanted to divert her attention so she grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV.
"Let's watch a movie while waiting for Tristan," Hannah suggested.
Zhen-Zhen just nodded at her in agreement. Hannah's eyes were fixed on the TV screen that she didn't notice the arrival of a furry black creature that jumped into Zhen-Zhen's lap.
'Oh great, FaMo! You are here. I will introduce you to our visitor, Tristan's best friend, Hannah.'
