BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90 Complicated Feelings
« At Miller's Family Mansion »
Mr. Miller was leisurely drinking tea outside their balcony, waiting for a piece of good news coming from his director friends of Heavenly Star Enterprise.
He was expecting that after today Tristan would be removed from his CEO position and Andrew would have the chance to take that role away from his brother.
It would take time before Tristan could clean and build up again his ruined reputation. Even the public was scolding and ridiculing him for his action. He tried to destroy his brother's relationship with his girlfriend. Andrew got the sympathy of the public.
After several hours of waiting, Mr. Miller received a call coming from Director Go.
Mr. Miller: "Hello, my friend! How is it? Are you able to oust Tristan out of his position? Tell me the good news."
His voice was filled with excitement and eagerness. It's just a matter of time and he would hear nothing but a piece of bad news from Director Go.
Director Go: "I don't know if this will be considered as good news too. Tristan will take a month's leave, this resting from his CEO position."
Mr. Miller wrinkled his brows. He didn't know what he meant by saying that so he asked Director Go just to make sure he was not mistaken in interpreting his words.
Mr. Miller: "So, did you mean that Tristan will not report to the company for a month?"
Director Go: "Yes."
Mr. Miller: "How about his position? Who will take charge of his position? Is it Andrew?"
Mr. Miller was feeling hopeful, anticipating Director Go's response. Mr. Miller heard the heavy sigh of Director Go on the other line.
Director Go: "Chairman Lu will take charge as both the Chairman and the CEO of the company in the meantime. I'm sorry to say but we failed the attempt of ousting Tristan out of his position. Before we could attack him a while ago he launched a counterattack already. We didn't anticipate that he would take the initiative to leave the company for a while until the issue goes down."
Mr. Miller: "Oh… great move from his part. But I will make sure that this issue will not be forgotten easily in a month. Hannah and Andrew's engagement announcement will also happen in a month. The public will be eager to know if Tristan will show up his face on that day or he will try something to sabotage the engagement."
Director Go: "That's true. Anyway, in this one-month duration, Andrew can show off his capability to everyone in the company while Tristan is gone. He should grab this opportunity to strengthen his influence. Don't worry, I will help your future son-in-law.
Mr. Miller: "Okay. I will be counting on you with this."
After a while, their conversation ended. Mr. Miller was a little bit disappointed in the turn of events today. But he would not be discouraged by this. Instead, he became more determined to help Andrew take over the CEO position of the Heavenly Star Enterprise in the future.

« At Hannah's Studio »
Hannah was now alone in her studio. Her friends, Sha-Sha and Julia, already went home one hour ago. When she was the only one left in her studio, Hannah lost herself in her train of thought.
She had not recovered yet from the surprise after knowing that Tristan was also in love with her. She had conflicting thoughts about it. But every time she would remember the video of how Tristan acted while saying those words, her heart would skip a beat.
She couldn't explain why. She was confused about her feelings. She knew she should not waver since she already had Andrew. They could not bring back the past now.
Hannah stood up, not able to complete her painting. Her painting looked like her brain right now- so messy.
"I need to talk to Tristan." She mumbled to herself.
She decided to clean her working place before going out of her studio to meet Tristan. After a while, Andrew came to pick her up.
Upon entering the studio, Andrew saw Hannah arranging her paintbrush and the paints she used a while ago, keeping them to their proper places. Hannah's back was facing Andrew that's why she didn't notice his presence.
She jolted in surprise when she felt someone suddenly hug her from behind. But she calmed down immediately the moment she smelled his familiar cologne and male scent. She knew right away that the person was Andrew.
Without waiting for Hannah to react, Andrew held her chin and tilted it upward towards him. He claimed her lips, kissing her with fervent need. He deepened the kiss.
Hannah was caught off guard by his sudden aggressiveness. She could only close her eyes and tried her best to return his hungry kiss.
'What happened to him? Why suddenly he is acting like this?' Hannah pondered to herself.
Before Hannah could realize it, Andrew already lifted her, carrying her toward the long sofa as they continued kissing. Soon, they reached the sofa. He gently put down Hannah and pushed her until her back was lying on the soft cushion of the sofa.
Andrew was on top of her. Leaving her lips, Andrew started to nibble on her jawline going down her neck and collarbones.
"A-Andrew… what are you doing?" Hannah managed to ask him despite the pleasure he was giving her. She wanted to stop him but her body couldn't resist him.
Andrew gently tugged her earlobe using his teeth before giving her an answer.
"I miss you. I want you so badly, right now." Andrew cooed in her ear. Then his hand began to roam around her body. When he found her breast, he gave them a gentle squeeze causing Hannah to gasp and moan while arching her back from that pleasure.
Hannah lost her final resistance as she succumbed to Andrew's passionate act. They kissed and made out inside her studio for several minutes, satisfying each other's needs and desires.
After they were done, Hannah told Andrew about her plan. "Let's go and meet Tristan. We should talk to him."
Andrew fell silent for a moment, not giving her a response. Then Hannah spoke up once again.
" I also want to ask him about Lillie. I want to see Lillie and talk to her."
At the mention of Lillie's name, Andrew finally reacted. "Okay, let's meet Tristan."
