Way Back To You
Please Stay Away from Him

Hanna, it's Noah, Liam's manager. If you have time, can we meet?

Hanna read the message that just came in through whatsapp to her phone while she was busy working. Hanna's forehead shriveled. Did he ask his manager to talk to me?

Be able. I came home from work at about five in the afternoon. If you don't mind we meet at Yellow Grill Restaurant around six in the afternoon.

Alright Han. I'll see you later.

Hanna again busied herself with the data piled up on her desk, as if the pile of paper was inexhaustible. Tired, Hanna stretched her muscles. Suddenly he heard the sound of his cellphone vibration once again.

Don't be so tired, pity your baby.

Hanna looked around, finding Bobby in Mr. Hara's room. It's worth knowing that Hanna was stretching her muscles because she was tired, she was in the financial section.

Thanks Bob.

Only those words could he say while smiling silently at Bobby who was looking at him. After that, Hanna returned to instantly busying herself, this time just to avoid Bobby's gaze.

Hanna promised herself a second chance at Liam. And the decision was already unanimous, so there was no chance he could be with Bobby. Hanna just wishes Bobby could find someone much better than her.

After the hours of work came to an end, Hanna immediately cleaned up her things. He darted home to the location of his meeting place with Noah, Liam's manager. When he was halfway there, he got a message from Noah that he had arrived and had already booked a room at the restaurant.

escorted by a restaurant employee, Hanna walks into a private room booked by Noah. Hanna hesitantly entered, and she was immediately greeted by a smile and warm position from Noah.

“Hai, meet, I'm Noah, manager Liam.”

“Hanna.”

“Please sit Han. I've ordered some kind of food and if you still need other food, we can order it later.”

“Oh, okay.” Hanna nodded her head.

Hanna swept around the room, and suddenly..

“Liam doesn't know I met you, so..he's not in this room.”.

It seemed Noah answered Hanna's curiosity. Hanna had thought that Noah asked to meet because Liam asked, but she was wrong. A hint of disappointment filled Hanna's chest, yet she forced her smile on Noah to prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward.

“Hanna.”

Noah pulled out some files from inside the bag he had placed on the chair next to him. He lined up all those files in front of Hanna, making Hanna frown inexplicably.

“This...what?”

“These are all treasures that Liam has so far.”

Hanna's face suddenly turned red. Why did Noah suddenly show all this to Hanna? What in her eyes is a materialistic woman who is only after Liam's money?

“This file contains assets in the form of properties that it has..” Noah pointed at the red file.

“...this one contains a list of his shareholdings in several companies and several other securities.” Noah pointed to the blue file.

“...these files contain..” he paused for a moment and reopened.

“Oh, this is a file..”

“What is all this for? Why are you showing it to me?”

Hanna interrupted because she didn't want to hear anything anymore.

Hanna's blood started to boil. His two thumbs rubbed against each other behind the tablecloth in order to dampen his anxiety and anger. Highlight his eyes were sharp, and Hanna began to be very uncomfortable being in this room.

Noah again lined up some files on top of Liam's wealth file which he first gave.

“This is a contract that is being held by Liam and if you are pleased, you can read it.”

Contracts are not things that many people can read, Hanna knows that. Contracts are confidential and only interested persons can read them. That was why Hanna shifted the file away from her front, while looking at Noah coldly.

“Just get to the point. What the hell is it? Why did you ask to meet me?”

Noah took his breath. If Liam finds out he's meeting Hanna secretly like this, he'll definitely berate Noah and it's not impossible that he'll be battered. But this is all Noah did for Liam's career. Noah is unwilling and unwilling, the dream Liam built just crumbled.

“One of the requirements that Liam has to meet is, that as long as she is their model, Liam should not get married. And if he gets married, that means he violated his terms and that means, he has to pay a penalty fee that is not small in number.”

“Then what does this have to do with me?” –what is this like I think?

Hanna's getting nervous. No, please don't say if what you're about to say is the same as what I'm currently thinking.

“A few days ago I spoke with Liam and he expressed his desire to marry you as a form of responsibility. But Han, with all of his current wealth and even if put together with my assets, it was not enough to cover his penalty. You...know I mean right?”

Of course Hanna knows. Damnit. When Hanna decides to accept Liam back, she is confronted with a cruel reality that plagues her chest. Shock, Hanna's trembling hand grabbed the drinking water in the glass that was already available in front of her.

“Please don't destroy Liam's future, Han. She had suffered enough all this time, and being a model was her dream. Please don't destroy his dream.”

Why would he ask me to keep Liam's dream? Then what about me? Don't I have a dream to make?

Without him noticing, a drop of tears flowed from his blushing eyeballs. Hanna quickly removes it because she doesn't want to look weak in front of Noah, or in front of anyone.

“I'm sorry Han, if I have to do this. Liam doesn't know that I'm showing you all this right now. I know I can't persuade Liam, so I just hope for you. I hope you can consider refusing or staying away from Liam. Whatever amount of money you ask for, I will try to give it to you.”

The money? Does he think Hanna needs money? He also has it, though not as much as they have. Does he understand that this is not about money, but about the life of a baby? Hanna closed her eyes and took a deep breath. His chest started to cramp, as if being squeezed by something that caused his airway to be deadlocked.

“Is there anything you want to tell me? If there is none, I say yes first. There's something important I have to do.”

There was nothing important that Hanna would do. He just wanted to quickly get out of the room and find the right place to spill his heart ache. Hanna really wanted to cry, her eyes were hot and a little stiff so she had to blink a few times as she tried to hold on not to let out her tears in front of this man.

Noah shook his head. Hanna immediately stood up and left the room in a hurry. Noah leaned his body, and sighed deeply. He knew he had made a huge mistake and now Hanna's feelings must have been very depressed. But he also had no other choice. This is the only way that Liam's career will be saved – and his life will also automatically be safe as well.

Half-running, Hanna leaves the room where she meets Noah. Hanna was sorry, so sorry to have met him. Her heart was really very sore hearing what Noah said to her and all those ridiculous requests. Hanna is really hurt!

“Ahh..”.

Hanna hit someone, she was immediately dumbfounded and lucky that person caught her body but Hanna's head was stumbled on the restaurant's wall.

“Hanna..”.

Bobby is still trying to balance the body of Hanna who came back almost fell.

“What are you doing here?” Bobby looked at her worriedly.

Hanna had no idea this afternoon Bobby also had a meeting with some clients at this restaurant. And when he walked earlier he did not pay attention to the direction of his steps at all because his eyes had started to blur by a lump of tears.

“Why you? What's up?”

Bobby stroked Hanna's face gently and worryingly. Hanna's lips trembled withstanding the pain in her chest and without making any sound, her tears dripped continuously down her flushed face. Hanna just stared at Bobby without saying anything.

Feeling that Hanna's condition is falling apart, Bobby takes Hanna out of the restaurant and while in the parking lot, Bobby immediately pulls Hanna into his arms. Bobby hugged Hanna very tightly, besides because this was his longing, he was also very worried about Hanna. It was there that Hanna then burst into tears, spilling her heartache and uneasiness in Bobby's arms. He roared yet he kept his mouth shut under Bobby's suit to muffle his voice.

“It’s okay, I'm here, Han. If you want to cry, cry until you are satisfied. I'm here!”
